A. Kluge
This chapter highlights Alexander Kluge's engagement with opera. In this essay, Kluge addresses two quotations from opera. The first is from Guiseppe Verdi's Aida (1871): “Do you see? The angel of death…” This line is spoken by the main character Aida. Kluge investigates the concept of the angel of death. He then explains that the mission of the twentieth century is to tell counter-stories to the collected stories of the nineteenth century. The second quote is from Richard Wagner's The Flying Dutchman (1843): “Here I am, true to you till death!” This line is spoken by the character Senta. Feelings take time to develop. It therefore seems unlikely that love at first sight is mutual. Thus, the suddenness of the Dutchman's and Senta's fatal and mutual falling in love has something of an act of force. One could call it a putsch in the domain of emotion. Kluge then discusses the unfulfilled program of the bourgeois tragic drama.

A. Kluge
This chapter assesses Alexander Kluge's Skype conversation with renowned Chinese literary scholar Wang Hui, recorded in the spring of 2012. The interview was held following a public screening of Kluge's documentary News from Ideological Antiquity (2008) subtitled in Chinese. A testimony to Kluge's desire to think beyond Europe's geographic and intellectual boundaries, the interview engages the viability of Marxist thinking in the age of globalization and testifies to the centrality of cooperation and collaboration in the form of dialogue for Kluge's essayism. Kluge also discusses fragmentary storytelling, which is already present in Tacitus, in his Roman historical writing. The fragmentary, he says, is what Walter Benjamin and Theodor W. Adorno teach people: people should use it. Kluge and Hui then further explores film. Kluge claims that the reality of film is not sealed off. This means that new possibilities remain open for film.
本章评估了亚历山大·克鲁格与中国著名文学学者王辉的Skype对话，记录于2012年春天。采访是在克鲁格的纪录片《来自意识形态古代的新闻》(2008)公开放映之后进行的，该片有中文字幕。作为克鲁格超越欧洲地理和知识边界思考的愿望的见证，访谈涉及全球化时代马克思主义思想的可行性，并证明了克鲁格散文形式的合作与协作的中心地位。克鲁格还讨论了支离破碎的故事叙述，这在塔西佗的罗马历史著作中已经出现了。他说，片断是瓦尔特·本雅明(Walter Benjamin)和西奥多·阿多诺(Theodor W. Adorno)教给人们的:人们应该使用它。Kluge和Hui进一步探讨了电影。克鲁格声称，电影的现实并不是封闭的。这意味着电影仍有新的可能性。

A. Kluge
This chapter examines the dialogue between Joseph Vogl and Alexander Kluge, which illustrates the origins and consequences of Kluge's theory of feeling for critique. Kluge explains that the critical capacity—the capacity to differentiate practically at the crucial moment—is an undercover characteristic that people know nothing about. He then mentions that Sigmund Freud speaks of the two-staged development in humans. First, an entire being, along with its sexuality and capacity for differentiation, is formed between infancy and the age of six or seven. This is followed by a latency period when the creature can learn—humans have a genuine period of learning—until puberty upends everything again and a second being, equally sexual, develops. This is the adult. Kluge then claims that classical writers use the word “critique” much differently. He says that critique is the positive capacity to differentiate between something new and an old falsehood.
