Die Sturm und Drang-Dramatik schwankte zwischen Übereinstimmung und Bruch mit den sozialen und moralischen Normen: Der Hofmeister in J. M. R. Lenz’ gleichnamigem Stück scheitert mit seinem Widerstand gegen soziale Zwänge und erscheint in ironischem Licht; H. L. Wagner klagt in seiner Kindermörderin die Gesellschaft wegen der ungerechten Verurteilung der Hauptfigur an, das Stück schließt aber mit einer versöhnlichen Wendung; F. Schillers Räuber führen die Übertretung so gut wie aller moralischen Gebote vor, aber am Ende läutert sich Karl Moor. Der Zensurdruck und der Geschmack des Publikums bewirkten Selbstzensur, drei zentrale Stücke des meist mit Aufbegehren gegen gesellschaftliche Normen verbundenen Sturms und Drangs erweisen sich als kompatibel mit dem ‘Drama des Gehorsams’: Ironie und happy endings entziehen der Kritik zumindest teilweise den Boden.","PeriodicalId":53844,"journal":{"name":"OXFORD GERMAN STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48982834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Durch die Einführung der ‘Figur der Störung’, des Entmieteten und Verdrängten leisten die Texte einen Beitrag dazu, gesellschaftliche, politische und soziale Fehlentwicklungen bewusst zu machen.

Its main features are social criticism and a new aesthetic of writing about cities. ‘Disturbance figures’ — people priced out and excluded — create an awareness of socially and politically harmful developments.

Engaging with various readings of Reiniger’s evolving technical and narrative approaches, this article complicates unproblematized celebrations of the film’s innovations as well as critiques of the film as Orientalist, arguing that both facets are in complex ways interdependent.

He was one of those writers whose biographies were shaped and deformed by the SED regime and one of the few who eloquently exposed the mechanisms of the totalitarian state. Fuchs’s literary oeuvre is a testimony of his times as well as a confrontation with the communist regime and its Stasi records. Saturated with his own life experience, his writing takes the reader on a journey into the second German dictatorship, behind the scenes of the (post) socialist society. This article traces the literary development of Fuchs as an independent writer and examines his motivation not to remain silent, to strive for truth and justice, and to provoke debate.","PeriodicalId":53844,"journal":{"name":"OXFORD GERMAN STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00787191.2021.1927382","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46534228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article centers on the (dis)continuities of polemical discourse on Islam, Muslims and the prophet Muhammad between the German version of the pilgrimage account first published in Mainz in 1486, and the Latin religious polemics it interpolates extensively, namely two texts by converso authors: Petrus Alfonsi’s Dialogus contra iudaeos and Paulus de Santa Maria’s Additiones ad Postillam Nicolai de Lyra. These comparative case studies reveal two complementary interpolative approaches. The first is to edit borrowed text passages to fit the argumentative structure of the target text. The second is to juxtapose borrowed text with original contrasting argumentation in the target text. Both contribute towards an argumentatively scathing and rhetorically emotive anti-Islamic polemic, which expands on the Latin canon of established tropes and arguments on which this vernacular pilgrimage account draws.","PeriodicalId":53844,"journal":{"name":"OXFORD GERMAN STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00787191.2021.1927360","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46286369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It opens with Canetti’s first visual memory: each day a man threatens to cut out his tongue if he tells anyone about the man’s affair with the boy’s nanny. The boy kept his mouth shut and his tongue was saved. Here the tongue stands for language — which as the author later claims is a means through which he can evade even the power of death. In Canetti’s work of cultural anthropology Crowds and Power the darkest events take place in the microcosm of the oral cavity. These are the actions of consuming and incorporating extraneous matter, in which Canetti sees the origins of all power processes. In Canetti’s view, mouth, throat and teeth are instruments of power rather than speech as they enact the assimilation, digestion and nullification of outside elements. Where does this leave the tongue? This article investigates this gap in Canetti’s thinking, locating the tongue anatomically and symbolically in an unstable zone between speaking and eating, self and world, inclusion and exclusion, life and death. * Die autobiographische Schrift Die gerettete Zunge von Elias Canetti ist nicht nur ein Dokument über die Kindheitsjahre des Autors, sondern auch eine Geschichte über Sprache und Tod. Das Buch wird mit Canettis frühestem Erinnerungsbild eröffnet: Täglich droht ein Mann, dem kleinen Jungen Canetti die Zunge abzuschneiden, wenn er die Liebschaft zwischen ihm und dem Kindermädchen verraten sollte. Das Kind hielt den Mund und die Zunge wurde gerettet. Die Zunge steht hier für die Sprache — ein Mittel, mit dem, wie der Autor später behauptet, er sich sogar der Macht des Todes entziehen könne. In Canettis kulturanthropologischer Studie Masse und Macht vollzieht sich gerade im Mikrokosmos der Mundhöhle das Dunkelste: die Vorgänge der Verzehrung und Einverleibung, in denen Canetti die Ursprünge aller Machtprozesse sieht. Nach Canetti bilden Mund, Schlund und Zähne nicht primär Teile des Sprechapparats, sondern vielmehr das Instrumentarium der Macht, mit dem man sich das Fremde aneignet, es verdaut und annulliert. Und wo bleibt dabei die Zunge? Entlang dieser offensichtlichen Lücke in Canettis Überlegungen über Macht bewegen sich die Fragen des Vortrags, nach der anatomischen und symbolischen Verortung der Zunge bei Canetti in einer changierenden Zone zwischen Sprechen und Essen, Selbst und Welt, Inklusion und Exklusion, Leben und Tod.","PeriodicalId":53844,"journal":{"name":"OXFORD GERMAN STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00787191.2021.1891777","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41863148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
