A. Kluge
This chapter assesses the dialogue between Uwe Ebbinghaus and Alexander Kluge wherein they talked about the Internet. While the Internet floods people with its overwhelming mass of information, it evokes a counterreaction at the same time: people tend to dismiss everything that is superfluous and unimportant to them. According to Kluge, this reaction presents a new form of intelligence, and it also poses a challenge to art. There is a new longing for sustainability and a longing for a new “hortus conclusus,” a walled-off garden; a heightened interest in boundaries and containers has emerged. This is art's new calling. Art will connect everything that opera, oil paintings, and literary texts once accomplished on their own by rearranging the material according to a constellative dramaturgy that obeys nonvisible forces. The new challenge for art is to create beacons of light, harbors, and rafts.

A. Kluge
This chapter examines the dialogue between Jochen Rack and Alexander Kluge wherein they talk about Kluge's book Chronik der Gefühle (Chronicle of Feelings, 2000). The book tells the story of a century, featuring all the moments that changed the contours of the world, which happened within Kluge's lifetime. Kluge understands these historical events as expressions of emotional states. He argues that feelings do not play a significant enough role in the way history is currently told. Rack and Kluge then discusses the concept of basic trust, which Kluge claims exists in both human beings and animals. They also consider Homer's Odyssey and the thesis that Odysseus has to kill his feelings in order to emancipate himself from the forces of myth. Ultimately, the examples of stories that Rack and Kluge discussed show that there are different, conflicting layers of emotions. Indeed, according to Kluge, storytelling is the representation of differences.
本章探讨了约亨·拉克和亚历山大·克鲁格之间的对话，他们在对话中谈论了克鲁格的书《情感编年史》(Chronicle of Feelings, 2000)。这本书讲述了一个世纪的故事，讲述了克鲁格一生中发生的所有改变世界轮廓的时刻。克鲁格将这些历史事件理解为情绪状态的表达。他认为，在当前讲述历史的方式中，情感没有发挥足够重要的作用。然后，Rack和Kluge讨论了基本信任的概念，Kluge认为基本信任存在于人类和动物中。他们还考虑了荷马的《奥德赛》，以及奥德修斯为了从神话的力量中解放出来而不得不扼杀自己的感情的论点。最后，Rack和Kluge讨论的故事例子表明，存在不同的、相互冲突的情感层次。事实上，根据克鲁格的说法，讲故事是差异的表现。

A. Kluge
This chapter examines the dialogue between Rainer Stollmann and Alexander Kluge wherein they talked about the power and importance of metaphors. Kluge explains that a metaphor is the creation of a web of ideas. He says that Karl Marx's description of primitive accumulation is one of these webs. That is why Marx let English history serve as his example, even though primitive accumulation assumes a different form in every country, which he also acknowledges. Kluge then argues that one needs to dissolve historically specific metaphors. The creation of metaphors is not an end in itself. Their brevity lasts in the time immediately after they evolve. In later eras, they provide a foil or commentary. Ultimately, metaphors do not reflect observations, but instead provoke questions.

Alexander Kluge
This chapter evaluates Alexander Kluge's discussion of the tension between “medialization” and “musealization.” Kluge thinks that the word “medialization” primarily alludes to “television,” but when all its parts are examined, then the “long-distant vision” that the word “tele-vision” implies has nothing at all to do with any of the television stations he knows. Medialization could be generally translated as mediation, but then there must be immediate experience if there are plenty of mediated experiences on the other side. However, Kluge cannot say that as much immediate experience must be saved, preserved, or organized as possible because the principle of immediate experience is a purely private matter. He then suggests that there is a way of dealing with temporalities and modes of experience that can be quite differentiated. Only when all of these differentiations come together is reality rich, which means they are also all real. The isolation or hegemony of one temporal mode over others, even if it were the polite optative, would essentially be a dictatorship of unreality. This would already be the factual contribution, the machinery, leading to the loss of history. If the concept of “musealization” is taken seriously, understood correctly, and interpreted within this context, then it can only mean labor against the loss of history.

A. Kluge
This chapter details Alexander Kluge's 1985 acceptance speech on the occasion of receiving the Kleist Prize, which had been revived after a half-century hiatus. Kluge claims that if there is anyone in the German literary tradition who insists on the importance of difference then it is Heinrich von Kleist. He then recounts the work of the writer Robert Musil, who is among the award's many recipients. He also discusses the seam between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, a seam where especially open forms developed. These open forms can be found not only in Kleist's but also Friedrich Hölderlin's work. Kluge claims that “at this seam spanning more than three decades bridging these two antagonistic centuries, three new developments arise while individual forces struggle against one another: popular war, industrialization, and the codification of a new tenderness.” He says “it is important to recognize the changed guises these three elementary processes have assumed, processes that begin in earnest in the early nineteenth century but whose roots go back to the eighteenth century.” Ultimately, Kluge is afraid of the incompetence of new media as well as its destructive power to fill people's heads. In the age of new media, Kluge considers writers as the guardians of difference.
