Abstract In contemporary German literature, diagnoses of the times can be observed that interpret social modernization processes as alienation and loss of meaning. The article examines whether the selected novels tie in with the culture-critical crisis consciousness of the turn of the century around 1900. This article develops the thesis that in Der Eisvogel by Uwe Tellkamp and Sieben Nächte by Simon Strauß, men appear as figures of crisis through which socio-pathological side effects of modern progress are articulated.

Abstract The following essay examines the centrality of Cervantes’ Don Quixote for the emergence of ideology as a concept as well as in traditional formations of ideology critique. Despite their vastly different readings of the Spanish novel, Marx, Lukács, Adorno, and Benjamin converge in their ambivalence towards the novel’s humor, the comic collision of illusion, and quotidian reality so painful for the delusional knight. If the novel’s comedy operates, on the one hand, with the power to dissolve phantasmagoric ideas, its epistemological potential would seem, on the other hand, to be particularly limited by reified relations of power and their critique. This potential of comedy stands to be reanimated against the backdrop of both contemporary cancel culture’s rebukes and current disputes around identity.

Abstract This essay inquires into the historical background, the analytical function, and the political implications of Georg Büchner’s materialism. Büchner’s revolutionary drama Danton’s Tod (1835) is situated at an interface between the French sensualist school of the idéologues and a modern concept of ideology in Marx. In Büchner’s drama, the senso-materialist concept of idea and sensation is related to the constitution of political bodies, which reveals an intimate nexus of imagination and sensation, ideology and affect.

Abstract This article treats the problem of ideology in Peter Weiss’s trilogy Die Ästhetik des Widerstands (1975–1981), examining the semantics of ›Übereinstimmung‹ as well as the theory of class consciousness in the novel. The semantics of ›Übereinstimmung‹ bridges the gap between two poetological stances of the author: the claim for documentation, on the one hand, and for radically subjective empathy or mimesis, on the other. The question of class consciousness as developed by Georg Lukács in Geschichte und Klassenbewusstsein (1921) marks the crucial theoretical context regarding the formal construction of the novel and its narrator. Thus, the poetics of ›Übereinstimmung‹ must be understood as the poetic solution to the problem of class consciousness that the novel confronts.
摘要本文探讨彼得·韦斯三部曲《Die Ästhetik des widerstand》(1975-1981)中的意识形态问题,考察《Übereinstimmung》的语义学以及小说中的阶级意识理论。Übereinstimmung的语义学架起了作者两种诗学立场之间的桥梁:一方面是对文献的要求,另一方面是对激进的主观移情或模仿的要求。格奥尔格Lukács在1921年出版的《人与生活》一书中提出的阶级意识问题,是小说及其叙述者形式建构的关键理论背景。因此,《Übereinstimmung》的诗学必须被理解为小说所面临的阶级意识问题的诗性解决方案。

Abstract The paper reconstructs a crucial moment in the history of literary studies: the transference of formal sociology, as developed by Georg Simmel around 1900, into literary studies by his pupil, the young Georg Lukács. First, formal sociology will be explained in order to outline the ways in which Lukács adapts it. Then the formal method Lukács developed will be illustrated using the drama as an example. Finally, the paper will analyze Caroline Levine’s highly acclaimed study Forms (2015) in the context of the history of the formal method outlined, and briefly discuss the impasse in which this method currently finds itself.

Abstract The article examines the admission of ‘sociology of literature’ in the standard literary reference works of the Weimar Republic. In addition to handbooks, these include above all the Reallexikon der deutschen Literaturgeschichte and the Sachwörterbuch für Deutschkunde. The study examines how the method is understood, whom it is associated with, what examples are given, and what significance it had in the methodological discourse at the time.

Abstract Ferdinand Tönnies’ relationship to the sociology of art and literature was ambivalent and contradictory. On the one hand, the consideration of art and literature plays a role in Tönnies’ theoretical works. On the other hand, in the founding years of sociology, he was opposed to an independent sub-discipline in the sociology of literature because he feared for the unity of the discipline. All the more interesting is the fact that Tönnies repeatedly published on poets and poetry. In addition to articles on Theodor Storm, there are several studies on Friedrich Schiller as a poet and theorist, which show the sociologist as a reader and interpreter of literature. This paper attempts a critical review and classification of these works by Tönnies against the background of the political debate about Schiller in the Schiller anniversary year of 1905.
