Festschrift für Klaus Sachs-Hombach zum 65. Geburtstag

Bildmedien

Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten (1714–1762) is known in intellectual history for having established the discourse of philosophical aesthetics with his "Meditationes philosophicae de nonnullis ad poema pertinentibus" (Reflections on Poetry) and "Aesthetica" (Aesthetics), which consists of two books and is considered Baumgarten’s most important work. But this book amends that history. It shows that Baumgarten's aesthetics is a science of literature that demonstrates the value of literature to philosophy. Baumgarten did not intend to pursue such a task, but in working on his philosophical texts and lectures, he ends up analyzing, synthesizing, and contextualizing literature. He thereby treats it not as belles lettres or as a moral institution but rather as an epistemic object. His aesthetics is thus the first modern literary theory, and his articulation of this theory would never again be matched in its complexity and systematicity. Baumgarten’s theory of literature has never been discovered. It waits latently to take its place in intellectual history.

Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten's Theory of Literature

Facing Poetry

The life-stories of problematic central figures as recounted in Moritz' »Anton Reiser«, Keller's »Der grüne Heinrich« and Raabe's »Akten des Vogelsangs« serve as a basis for mapping out ambitiously extensive topologies of memory. Behind the narrative »I remember« ploy, topologically structured models of the cultural organization and imaging of knowledge are discernible. Literary com-memoration makes one thing clear: prior to any kind of individual materialization, memory requires an archive of images to draw on, an archive containing the rhetorical formulas of both mythological and christological initiation narratives as well as of iconography. The literary figuration of »modern« memory thus calls for reexamination and reevaluation.

eine Einführung

Intertextualität

Between 1730 and 1770 the philosopher Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten and the poet Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock described in their writings the characteristic features of literary texts using examples of passages which were striking in a pictorial or descriptive, auditory and/or graphical way. Both drew attention to the ability of sensory signs and images with the aid of which man discovers his world. As a result, literature moved from the periphery to the central focus of epistemology and was re-evaluated in its abilities, actions, obligations and intentions.

Das Handbuch bietet einen umfassenden Überblick über die enge Beziehung zwischen Literatur und Psychoanalyse. In den Blick kommen dabei die Literatur als Gegenstand der Psychoanalyse und das psychoanalytische Wissen der Literatur. Systematisch aufbereitet werden auch die literarischen Dimensionen der Psychoanalyse und das Verhältnis zwischen Psychoanalyse und Kultur- bzw. Literaturwissenschaft. Zwei Register und ein Glossar beschließen den Band.

Handbuch Literatur & Psychoanalyse

Lutz Koepnick

It has become commonplace to associate art and aesthetic experience with the category of ambiguity. Indeed, when we talk about art, we cannot do without the dynamic force of ambiguity just as the aesthetic itself cannot do without it. The great efforts to disambiguate aesthetic practices and their associated theories and contexts would eliminate art's unique ability to reshape our knowledge of the world, our sensory encounters with it, and our moral or political positions in it. The essays collected in this volume present different perspectives on this central category and develop interdisciplinary connections. Contributors include Frauke Berndt, Joy H. Calico, Stephan Kammer, Lutz Koepnick, Verena Krieger, Richard Langston, Rachel Mader, Lily Tonger-Erk, Gabriel Trop, and Thomas Wortmann.
