Die Lesbarkeit Jean Pauls
(2021)
In this article, the readability of the world that Jean Paul’s literature tries to produce and the readability of Jean Paul’s literature that the traditional edition wanted to ensure are intertwined with, firstly, the interwovenness of the primary work and parerga and, secondly, with the issue of the edition of his manuscripts. Jean Paul’s autonomy aesthetics replaces the depiction of reality with the world as text; this is mirrored in his handwritings, the edition of which allows for insights into the mycelium of an ‘alternate’ classical literature.
In 2012 Georg Diez provoked a literary scandal with his review of Christian Kracht’s novel Imperium. Since then, almost ninety informed studies which show an ongoing academic interest in the book have been published. Many of these studies attempted to explain the apparently failing analogy between Hitler and Engelhardt that the novel claimed in an irritating manner. Nevertheless, none of them took an esoteric approach which Kracht himself suggested in an interview with Denis Scheck as a starting point for their analyses, although esoteric references seem to be an ignored constant in Kracht’s oeuvre since Tristesse Royale. Hence, by tracing this esoteric intertextuality in the whole of Kracht’s oeuvre and linking it to the references which Kracht makes to right-wing ideologies since Faserland, it will be shown that there actually does exist an analogy between Hitler and Engelhardt in Imperium which aims to deconstruct Hitler mythemes by ridiculizing Engelhardt. Furthermore, it will be demonstrated that the interrelations between Kracht’s texts create a rhizomatic network of intertextuality that dissolves the boarders between external references and self-references.
The article starts with the etymology of the words Vorlesung („lecture“) and Hörsaal (“lecture hall”). On the one hand, it turns out that the two expressions are deeply anchored in the history of the old Latin scientific language. They transmit Latin structures and perspectives in German neologisms. On the other hand, the two words arose exactly at the time when the sciences were moving from Latin to German, thus distancing themselves from the traditional forms of Latin scholarship. In this light, they exemplify an epochal change in the history of the German language, but at the same time they represent a great European continuity. Against this background, the two words can be interpreted as symptomatic words associated with the Enlightenment’s confident outlook on the future relationship between science and society. Further corpus linguistic surveys also show how productively the two words appear in word formation processes. In particular, these surveys show by way of example that and how German standard language has benefited from the emergence of German academic language.

Die sogenannte „Rückkehr der Wölfe" stellt viele Menschen in Europa und in Deutschland vor besondere Herausforderungen. Viele Menschen in ländlichen Milieus, die in besonderem Maße von den Effekten dieser Rückkehr betroffen sind, reagieren ablehnend auf die tierlichen Rückkehrer*innen. Dies hängt nicht zuletzt mit traumatischen Erlebnissen zusammen, die manche Tierhaltende durch das Beutegreifverhalten mancher Wölfe auf ihre Tiere erleiden. Der vorliegende Beitrag liest die Rückkehr der Wölfe als Teil der dramatischen Veränderungen der Welt im beginnenden 21. Jahrhundert. Mit diesen Veränderungen verbunden sind im gesamten Globalen Norden tiefgreifende Verhaltens- und Einstellungsänderungen, auch gegenüber anderen als menschlichen Lebewesen. Die Wölfe sind Teil dieses Prozesses. Sie zeigen in besonderem Maße, wie die Fluidität gewohnter Ordnungen und Grenzziehungen, etwa die der Zugehörigkeit zu menschlichen Haushalten oder die Einteilung der Lebensräume in rurale und urbane, wilde und zivilisierte, zur ethischen Herausforderung wird. Obgleich der Prozess der Aushandlung des Zusammenlebens offen und höchst widersprüchlich verläuft, zeigen sich in der Diskussion auch neue Einsichten in die Verbundenheit menschlicher Akteur*innen mit anderen Lebewesen. Damit sind wesentliche Voraussetzungen gegeben für die Entwicklung neuer Haltungen und Wertsetzungen, die dem engen Austausch zwischen Menschen und anderen Lebewesen gerecht werden.
This paper retraces the specific conception of the ‘present’ as manifested in Satyrischer Pilgram, Grimmelshausen’s first published work. In the face of progressively vanishing consciousness of the past terrors of the Thirty Years’ War, the Pilgram devises a program for bringing the experience of a whole generation to the present, thereby saving it for the future. Instead of delivering a general reflection on the nature of war, it suggests to narrate individually experienced “particularities.” It is crucial that all of these experiences are negative, not meant to prompt imitation, but instead rather to build and keep up a stronghold against attitudes and actions of the past.
