Download or read book Romantic Disillusionism and the Sceptical Tradition written by Rolf P. Lessenich and published by V&R Unipress. This book was released on 2017-01-16 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Platonic Romanticism had a dark underside from its inception: Romantic Disillusionism, encompassing the Gothic and the new demonic doppelganger. The Classical Tradition's conflict between Plato and Pyrrho, foundationalism and scepticism, optimism and pessimism was thus continued. Lord Byron's was the most listened-to and echoed voice of Romantic Disillusionism in Europe, though by far not the only one. This comparative study of a multiplicity of sceptical English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Polish, and Czech voices shows how traditional Pyrrhonic arguments were updated to suit the decades of the Romantic Movement, surviving as a subversive countercurrent to later Victorianism and resurging in the literature of the Decadence and Fin de Siècle.

Book excerpt: Gothic: Origins and Innovations brings together nineteen papers from an international group of scholars currently researching in the field of the Gothic which take a fresh, contemporary look at the tradition from its eighteenth-century inception to the twentieth century. Topics and authors include the current usage and definition of the term 'Gothic'; the eighteenth-century rise of the genre; the Sublime; Victorian sensation fiction, and authors such as Coleridge, Mary Shelly, Maturin, LeFanu, Washington Irving, Robert Louis Stevenson, Bram Stoker, John Neale, Jack London, Herman Melville, Dickens, Henry James and the movie version of his Turn of the Screw, The Innocents. This wide-ranging set of discussions brings to the subject a new set of perspectives, revising standard accounts of the origins of the genre and extending the historical and cultural contexts into which traditional literary history has tended to confine the subject. Framed by a lively and challenging introduction, the collection brings to bear a full range of contemporary critical instruments, approaches, and interdisciplinary languages, ranging from the new vocabularies of the socio-cultural to the latest debates in the psychoanalytic field. It provides a stimulating introduction to recent thinking about the Gothic.

Download or read book Space in America written by Klaus Benesch and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2005 with total page 589 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's sense of space has always been tied to what Hayden White called the narrativization of real events. If the awe-inspiring manifestations of nature in America (Niagara Falls, Virginia's Natural Bridge, the Grand Canyon, etc.) were often used as a foil for projecting utopian visions and idealizations of the nation's exceptional place among the nations of the world, the rapid technological progress and its concomitant appropriation of natural spaces served equally well, as David Nye argues, to promote the dominant cultural idiom of exploration and conquest. From the beginning, American attitudes towards space were thus utterly contradictory if not paradoxical; a paradox that scholars tried to capture in such hybrid concepts as the middle landscape (Leo Marx), an engineered New Earth (Cecelia Tichi), or the technological sublime (David Nye). Not only was America's concept of space paradoxical, it has always also been a contested terrain, a site of continuous social and cultural conflict. Many foundational issues in American history (the dislocation of Native and African Americans, the geo-political implications of nation-building, immigration and transmigration, the increasing division and clustering of contemporary American society, etc.) involve differing ideals and notions of space. Quite literally, space and its various ideological appropriations formed the arena where America's search for identity (national, political, cultural) has been staged. If American democracy, as Frederick Jackson Turner claimed, is born of free land, then its history may well be defined as the history of the fierce struggles to gain and maintain power over both the geographical, social and political spaces of America and its concomitant narratives. The number and range of topics, interests, and critical approaches of the essays gathered here open up exciting new avenues of inquiry into the tangled, contentious relations of space in America. Topics include: Theories of Space - Landscape / Nature - Technoscape / Architecture / Urban Utopia - Literature - Performance / Film / Visual Arts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Neuere Deutsche Literatur, Note: 1,3, Freie Universität Berlin, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Der Glaube an Vampire findet sich in fast allen Kulturen der Erde, jedoch nur in jenen, die Bestattungen in Erde vornehmen und nicht wie z.B. in Skandinavien, wo es ausschließlich nur Feuerbestattungen gibt. Unterschieden werden in dem verschiedenen Glauben nur die Formen des Wiedergängers, die in einem späteren Teil noch erläutert werden sollen. Das Gemeinsame scheint einerseits eine große Faszination bezüglich der Kraftübertragung durch Zerstörung und andererseits die Furcht zu sein, die vor einem eventuellen Angriff eines Vampirs vorherrscht. Die Figur des Wiedergängers erscheint somit zwiespältig. Dem Reiz auf der einen Seite, stehen die Abneigung und der Respekt auf der anderen Seite gegenüber. Diese Ambivalenz scheint ein großes Interesse, welches zeitlos zutage tritt, auszumachen. Der unterschiedlichen Darstellung des Vampirs tritt schließlich in der Romantik ein neuer Aspekt hinzu, der Moment der Erotik. In seinem Werk „Carmilla“, welches 1872 erschienen ist, versteht es Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu diese anhand der Protagonistinnen detailgenau herauszuarbeiten und sie zum Teil dominant in den Vordergrund zu stellen. Die Frage besteht nun darin, inwieweit es sich in Le Fanus Werk um eine charakteristische Vampir- Erzählung handelt oder ob die erotisch konnotierte Beziehung der Protagonistinnen nicht dezidiert eine psychologisch abgestufte Verführung einer gleichgeschlechtlichen Liebe darstellt? Nach einer Einführung in das Phänomen des Vampirismus und der Übertragung auf Le Fanus Werk, findet eine Erläuterung der Hauptakteurinnen in „Carmilla“ statt. Abschließend soll, nach einem Blick auf die Rolle und den Umgang mit der Erotik in der Erzählung, diese Frage erörtert werden.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays by a group of scholars from Germany, the United States, Russia and the Czech Republic focuses on the relations of E.A. Poe's work to various forms of cultural discourse as well as on its intercultural and intermedial repercussions. One of the central concerns of this conference volume is the question of how a cultural reading of Poe's literary fictions can account for their character as 'tales of effect'. The scope of investigation ranges from the cultural significance of animal representations and the aesthetic consequences of Poe's interest in mesmerism and scientific cosmologies to the uncovering of archeological strata in The Gold Bug, the exploration of temperance rhetoric in The Black Cat, and the engagement of the public-private dichotomy in The Pit and the Pendulum. Furthermore, the role of Beauty in Poe's aesthetic and the process of poetological self-construction are discussed, as well as the illustrations for the poem To Helen and, finally, the influence of Poe's writings on Russian symbolism. Bisherige Forschungsgebiete des Autors: Science and literature; text and image; literary theory.
