The essay analyses the characterisation of power in Christoph Ransmayr’s novel Cox oder Der Lauf der Zeit. Specifically, power is analysed on its political level, with the social implications that it necessarily entails on both the human and personal level, showing the individual in charge locked in the solitude of his distance from others; and on its gender level, which is expressed in the novel by the subjugation of the female to the male. In conclusion, nature and time in the novel are highlighted in their function as obstacles to limitless power.

Through an analysis of Goethe’s essay «Von deutscher Baukunst» this study intends to highlight the programatic value of the same for the first authentically German cultural movement, i.e. the «Storm and Stress». The paradigmatic figure of Erwin von Steinbach, the ingenious architect of Strasbourg Cathedral, sympathetically overshadows that of the medieval architect Eudes de Montreuil, whose re-evaluation is due to André Thevet from a patriotic and idealized Renaissance point of view. This is a curious parallelism in the name of creative genius and it represents the starting point of an important process that was to lead to a German aesthetic and literary renewal intended to overcome foreign models, especially French, and also to a re-evaluation of Gothic architecture in a patriotic and nationalist key.
本研究通过分析歌德的散文 "Von deutscher Baukunst",旨在强调这篇文章对于第一次真正的德国文化运动(即 "风暴与压力")的纲领性价值。斯特拉斯堡大教堂独具匠心的建筑师埃尔温-冯-忻德巴赫(Erwin von Steinbach)的典范形象令人同情地掩盖了中世纪建筑师尤德斯-德-蒙特勒伊(Eudes de Montreuil)的形象,安德烈-泰维特(André Thevet)从爱国主义和理想化的文艺复兴角度对他进行了重新评价。这是一种以天才创作为名的奇特的平行关系,它代表了一个重要进程的起点,这一进程将导致德国美学和文学的革新,以克服外国模式,尤其是法国模式,同时也将导致以爱国主义和民族主义为基调的对哥特式建筑的重新评价。

This article focuses on the nationalistic turn that swept across the political and cultural life of nineteenth century Germany by looking into two events that are seldom brought together: the Germanists’ Assembly in Frankfurt, in 1846, and Marx and Engels’ Manifesto of the Communist Party, published just two years later. It explores the tension between nationalism and internationalism that runs through both events and that is still vividly present in our contemporary, after all, not so «Postnational Constellation».

This paper intends to show how and to what extent the practices of postmemory (Hirsch) and “cumulative heroization” (Welzer), which are typical of the so-called generation of grandchildren in Germany, are embedded in Nora Krug’s graphic novel Heimat. Ein deutsches Familienalbum [Heimat. A German Family Album] (2018). It will be shown how these practices contribute to creating a work that in the end idealizes the German and family (Nazi) past rather than coming to terms with it, thus also reiterating a Germano-centric concept of Heimat.

Theodor Johann Quistorp was among the regular contributors to Gottsched’s Deutsche Schaubühne (1741-1745). In addition to his published works as a playwright, he tried his hand at writing non-fiction, taking a stand against Baumgarten’s theories, and engaging in a heated debate with Georg Friedrich Meier. Quistorp’s comedies are actually based on a conception of the comic effect that is far removed from Gottschedian rationalism. In his Hypochondrist (1745), melancholy and depression are not represented as evil and morally deviant, but as a physiological expression of human nature, which is to be linked to all other aspects of individual identity.
Theodor Johann Quistorp是Gottsched的《Deutsche schaub hne》(1741-1745)的定期撰稿人之一。除了作为剧作家出版作品外,他还尝试过写非虚构作品,反对鲍姆加滕的理论,并与乔治·弗里德里希·迈耶进行了激烈的辩论。基斯托普的喜剧实际上是基于一种喜剧效果的概念,这与戈特谢德式的理性主义相去甚远。在他的《疑病者》(1745)中,忧郁和抑郁并没有被描绘成邪恶和道德上的偏差,而是作为人性的一种生理表现,与个人身份的所有其他方面联系在一起。

This article aims at highlighting the metatextual relationships between the works of Yoko Tawada and Paul Celan. The analysis concentrates on Das Tor des Übersetzers oder Celan liest Japanisch and Paul Celan und der chinesische Engel and is carried out in the light of transtextual practices, starting from theoretical premises related to the act of reading (symptomatic reading – surface reading) and including the dimension of transculturality. The encounter between Tawada and Celan generates a multi-faceted textual space, in which texts from different cultures, having the German language as a common denominator, enter into dialogue with each other.
