Creating the industrial images of Chicago and New YorkTarle follows the American poets , but in contrast to them emphasizes the motives ofsocial protests and the global hegemony of proletariat. Being under the influence ofBurliuk’s poetic school Tarle uses some avant-garde techniques in his poetry. Some ofthem are analyzed in the article.
Christoph Gschwind zeigt, wie Schillers frühe Dramen "Die Räuber", "Fiesko", "Kabale und Liebe" und "Don Karlos" wirkungspoetisch funktionieren. Anhand der Analyse von Schillers Frühwerk gibt er, ...basierend auf der Terminologie der analytischen Literaturwissenschaft, Antworten auf die allgemeine Frage nach dem Verhältnis zwischen Poesie und Philosophie - und auf die spezielle Frage nach der kognitiven Signifikanz literarisch-fiktionaler Texte. Die vorliegende Arbeit unterscheidet sich methodisch von einem klassisch-hermeneutischen Interpretationsverfahren, indem sie auf eine Rekonstruktion von emotiven und kognitiven Funktionen aus Schillers frühen Dramentexten zielt. Das Begriffsinstrumentarium der in der Schiller-Forschung vorherrschenden hermeneutischen Werkinterpretationen gründet häufig auf suggestiven Metaphernkomplexen. Im Kontext des analytischen Zugriffs auf die Texte Schillers wird dieser Tradition ein auf begriffliche Explikation abzielendes Analyse-Modell entgegengestellt, mit dem die z.T. unklaren Begriffe Schillers fassbarer werden. Durch die Rekonstruktion des ideengeschichtlichen Referenzrahmens zeigt sich Schillers Frühwerk schließlich auch als Projekt einer literarischen Aufklärung.
The series "QUELLEN UND FORSCHUNGEN ZUR LITERATUR- UND KULTURGESCHICHTE" (Sources and Research in the History of Literature and Culture), with a rich tradition stretching back to 1874, is an ...established feature among the renowned publications for German Literary Studies. Edited by Ernst Osterkamp and Werner Röcke at the Humboldt University of Berlin, the series presents examples of high-quality scholarship examining literary texts in conjunction with historical cultural phenomena, particularly with the other arts. There is an explicit demand for literary studies with a transdisciplinary approach. German literature from the Middle Ages to the present day forms the main focus of the series. As the historical cultural thrust of the series includes aspects of intercultural experience and national perceptions of the other, Quellen und Forschungen is also open to occasional comparative studies. The publications of the series include monographs, doctoral and professorial theses and thematically focused volumes of collected papers. Works presented for acceptance in the series are required to display scholarly relevance and excellence in method and presentation.
The history of literary reception, within Galician-Portuguese scholarship, remains a relatively unexplored field, largely due to the scarcity of sources. On the other hand, codicological studies tend ...to privilege the original features of a given manuscript over later additions. The present article, instead, focuses on the late medieval and early-modern marginalia to be found in the thirteenth-century, Iberian manuscript, the Cancioneiro da Ajuda. It includes a comprehensive catalogue and edition of these notes, presented in a partially modernized spelling, accompanied by a short study. It is hoped that both will pave the way for future studies on literary reception that could make use of textual evidence available but so far little explored.
Only six years subsequent to Petőfi’s disappearance, i.e. his death, in 1855 the Petőfi reception took on in Serbian literature, when Jovan Jovanović Zmaj translated the poem A csárda romjai ...(Razorena čarda The Ruins of the Inn). From that point on, Petőfi became part of Serbian literature as well: famous and popular, to such an extent that there was hardly a Serbian poet who would not engage in translating at least one of Petőfi’s poems. Sava Babić, who made an account of the Petőfi translations published between 1855 and 1980, listed as many as 658 entries in his bibliography. Translating Petőfi’s poems, according to literary historians, “proved an outstanding bridge between the lives of the two neighbouring nations” (Nagy 1994). These poems substituted for what Serbian literature lacked―the Serbian folk epic poem. Towards the end of the 19th century, the reception of Petőfi’s poetry in Serbian literature virtually bloomed into a cult, namely because his poems of patriotic and social themes as well as his revolutionary poetry quite complied and were even consonant with the increasingly aggressive patriotism of the so-called New Serbian Youth (Nova omladina). In the second half of the 20th century, the receptive attitude towards his poetry waned significantly. The study looks into the characteristics and effects of the translations of Petőfi’s poetry from its ‘literary transfer,’ its receptive situation, up to the intensification of its popularity and folklorization. In fact, it analyzes the literary/cultural transfer which was determinant of fulfilling certain needs and conjunctures, but which was surprisingly integrated into the Serbian literary tradition of the late 19th and early 20th century.
This article questions the supposed pervasive celebrity of the American author Harriet Beecher Stowe in Europe in the nineteenth century, and investigates her authorial status in the Netherlands in ...the mid-1850s. To what extent could she be considered a celebrity in the Netherlands in this period? The article pays attention both to the institutional and to the ideological situation, which can either facilitate or hinder the development of a so-called “celebrity society,” and shows that textual representations of Stowe did indeed circulate, but that this circulation did not take on the massive scale that seems necessary for a celebrity status. Whereas Uncle Tom’s Cabin was, by Dutch standards, an incredible success, journalists were only marginally aware of the authorial figure of Stowe herself. This was in part a result of the lack of a professional literary and journalistic infrastructure in the Netherlands. From an ideological point of view, the phenomenon of literary celebrity was a controversial one in the nineteenth-century Netherlands, hampering the emergence of a celebrity society. Together, these findings help us to consider the existence of a possible “transatlantic” Stowe cult in a different light: in the peripheral Netherlands, such a cult did not emerge easily.
La recepción literaria de la novela de Wang Anyi, La canción de la pena eterna por lectoras españolas en la etapa actual de la globalización, donde la mediación de la crítica es de menor relevancia ...debido al acceso directo a las obras, invita a la utilización de metodologías cualitativas del ámbito de las ciencias sociales para su análisis. A partir de la información obtenida mediante la técnica de grupos de discusión, el artículo aborda el discurso elaborado por las lectoras con categorías de la estética de la recepción y de la interpretación literarias, así como de otras aproximaciones teóricas centradas en el contacto entre culturas. El resultado prueba la pertinencia de un abordaje multidisciplinar para la comprensión de los fenómenos interculturales
Un desarrollo excepcional de la lectura, la edición y los estudios críticos sobre las literaturas del Caribe se observa en la última década en el Cono Sur. Este proceso es el resultado de la ...formación de redes literarias y editoriales, pero también de los desplazamientos y exilios que signaron muchos de los intercambios sedimentados en la larga duración. En este artículo se describen algunos de los puntos nodales de este proceso de construcción de un campo de lecturas y de difusión de las literaturas del Caribe en el sur y se ofrece una bibliografía detallada de las publicaciones de la última década.
At the SHINE-conference in Murcia in 1999 I claimed that sonnet 66 has been largely disregarded by Anglo-American critics whereas, in continental Europe, it has been frequently used as a medium of ...protest in crucial political situations. In the light of more recent findings I will revise this claim and draw attention to English poets and novelists from the Romantic period to Modernism reworking or working with the sonnet with a political thrust
