Abstract Memory narratives, like all fictional narratives, are characterized by variation in narrative pace, resulting from a variety of staging strategies. In memory literature, the change in narrative pace is particularly evident because the representation of memory encourages a variety of narrative pacing strategies – from acceleration to deceleration. A great deal of attention is given to the representation of memory content when reviewing narratology from a memory studies perspective. There is, however, one aspect that is often overlooked, namely the way in which memories themselves determine the pace of the narrative. Memory content not only affects the narrative pace in significant ways but in most cases, the representation of memory also dictates the narrative pace by employing several memory-elicited pace strategies. As part of this paper, we propose a narratological approach that emphasizes narrative pace as the basis for analyzing the memory literature related to transgenerational memory communication. This paper examines the narrative techniques in the the construction of memory-elicited narrative pace. Furthermore, this paper discusses how memory itself takes on different roles based on varying narrative paces and how memory itself can influence narrative pace. The paper uses three memory novels as case studies: Herzklappen von Johnson & Johnson by Valerie Fritsch, Briefe nach Breslau: Meine Geschichte über drei Generation by Maya Lasker-Wallfisch, and Zurück nach Berlin: wie mein Vater mit mir in seine Vergangenheit reiste by Jonathan Lichtenstein. Each of these novels focuses on the transmission of a transgenerational memory of World War II. Using examples from these novels, this paper explains how the suturing of memory content generates the five primary rhythms of narrative movement: ellipsis, summary, stretch, pause, and scene.
记忆叙事和所有的虚构叙事一样，其特点是叙事节奏的变化，这是由各种分期策略造成的。在记忆文学中，叙事节奏的变化尤其明显，因为记忆的表现鼓励了各种叙事节奏策略——从加速到减速。从记忆研究的角度审视叙事学时，对记忆内容的表征给予了极大的关注。然而，有一个方面经常被忽视，即记忆本身决定叙事节奏的方式。记忆内容不仅以重要的方式影响叙事节奏，而且在大多数情况下，记忆的表征也通过采用几种记忆诱发的节奏策略来决定叙事节奏。在本文中，我们提出了一种强调叙事节奏的叙事学方法，以此作为分析跨代记忆传播相关记忆文献的基础。本文探讨了记忆引出式叙事节奏建构中的叙事技巧。此外，本文还讨论了记忆本身如何在不同的叙事节奏中扮演不同的角色，以及记忆本身如何影响叙事节奏。本文以三部记忆小说为个案研究对象:Herzklappen von Johnson &;Valerie Fritsch的《Johnson》，Maya Lasker-Wallfisch的《Briefe nach brreslau: Meine Geschichte ber drei Generation》，以及Jonathan Lichtenstein的《zurck nach Berlin: wie mein Vater mit mir in seine Vergangenheit reiste》。这些小说都聚焦于对二战的跨代记忆的传递。本文以这些小说为例，说明记忆内容的缝合如何产生叙事运动的五种基本节奏:省略、概括、延伸、停顿和场景。

Abstract In the linguistic imagery of his texts and also in his consistent biographical retreat, the author Robert Walser presents the riddles of an aesthetic relationship between self and other to the world. From the diversity of his extremely relational view of the world emerges a tension-rich charge of his texts, which is taken up by numerous visual artists. The tension consists in the simultaneity of abstraction and vividness, of cosmographic expansion and extreme reduction (e. g., in the micrograms), of similarity as well as difference. Thomas Hirschhorn and Mark Wallinger are quite similar in their love for Walser, but they are far apart in their artistic consequences. They shape the extremely relational and yet always precarious view of the world either in adhesions or volatility, physicality or shadow, publicity or isolation, ruins or paths, concretizations or abstractions. A politically effective aesthetic connects the two artists with Robert Walser in a poetic trialogue, for it is a matter of communication and discursive exposition, not of enlightenment or agitation.

Abstract In his film of King Lear (1971), Peter Brook reimagined his landmark production of the play on screen through an intricate interplay of theatrical and cinematic codes. This article revisits Brook’s adaptation, focusing on how its much-discussed debt to theatrical traditions relates to broader issues regarding the production and reception of Shakespearean films in the UK. I argue that the film’s overt affiliation to theatre sets it apart from other Anglophone adaptations of Shakespeare grounded in Hollywoodian conventions that broaden considerably their potential to reach a global audience across time and location. In establishing strong links between his film and the RSC production, Brook’s counter-cinematic approach to filmic storytelling, alongside his casting of acclaimed stage actors, asserted the authority of theatre as a privileged medium where Shakespeare is made to signify. We shall see that the various marks of site-specific theatrical traditions in the film underscore its appeal to a local – rather than global – audience, thus dismantling essentialist and universalist views of Anglophone adaptations of Shakespeare on screen.

Abstract This paper explores the theme of translation, pseudo-translation, and multilingualism in Goethe’s Lehrjahre and Novelle . Both texts stage processes of (failing) translation in order to reflect on issues of linguistic identity and linguistic homogeneity. Overall, Goethe’s latent inclusion of different languages in these texts demonstrates his deep engagement with language diversity, as he resisted the monolingualizing tendencies of his time. The paper argues that the two novels underscore the tension between embracing linguistic otherness and conforming to monolingual norms in German classicism.

Abstract Nizami Ganjavi’s fourth epic poem, Seven Beauties offers a cohesive picture of many variations or ‘colors’ of love and occupies a prominent position in his prolific oeuvre. Although much has been written on mystical love in Nizami’s works, the status of profane love remains somewhat neglected. A concept introduced through the Latin translation of an Arabic medical treatise on love during the medieval period, studies on profane love gave rise to a specific form of melancholy, referred as amor heroes or love-melancholy in various medico-literary texts. As a polymath, it can be speculated that Nizami’s interests in medicine probably extended to this type of amorous sickness. Upon close reading of the famous tale “King of Black”, clear parallels can be discerned between the literary depiction of the love-lorn king and the medical symptoms of love-melancholy. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to elucidate this connection by drawing on the Galenic and Arabic medical texts on love and melancholy, which eventually influenced Nizami and found its reverberations in the tale of the Indian Princess in Seven Beauties .
