Der Erste Weltkrieg und die Nachkriegszeit: Ein Thema, zu dem man scheinbar schon alles gehört und gelesen hat. Dass dem nicht so ist, zeigen Studierende der Philosophischen Fakultät der Universität Würzburg mit ihrer Ausstellung „Krieg │ Frieden. Der Erste Weltkrieg und die Nachkriegszeit“. Ihre Beiträge behandeln Politik, Kunst und Literatur in den am Krieg beteiligten Ländern.
Nach einer historischen Einführung, die auch die Nachkriegssituation in Würzburg themati-siert, vermitteln Texte von Gottfried Benn einen distanzierten Blick auf das Kampfgeschehen: Der Dichter wirkte während des Kriegs als Arzt hinter der Front und verarbeitete seine Erlebnisse u.a. in den „Rönne-Novellen“. Anhand literarischer Portraits von Schützen aus dem Senegal lässt sich wiederum nachvollziehen, wie sich der Blick auf die aus den Kolonien verpflichteten Soldaten in der französischen Literatur widerspiegelt. Unterschiedliche Reaktionen auf den Ersten Weltkrieg und die Nachkriegszeit werden demgegenüber in der italienischen und deutschen Kunst sichtbar, während die hierzulande aus propagandistischen Gründen eröffneten Kriegsmuseen in der Nachkriegszeit schlossen oder sich der Friedensarbeit widmeten. Stimmen namhafter italienischer Politiker, Journalisten, Romanciers und Dichter bringen zum Ausdruck, wie der „Große Krieg / la Grande Guerra“ Italiens kollektives Gedächtnis prägte. Auch in Großbritannien ist das Gedenken daran viel stärker als hierzulande: So prägen die von dem Gedicht „In Flanders Fields“ inspirierten Mohnblumen als „Remembrance Poppies“ die britische Erinnerungskultur bis in unsere Gegenwart.
Individuell gestaltete Text- und Bildtafeln, eine Hörstation mit Leseecke sowie eine Soundinstallation und Bildprojektion am Eröffnungsabend machen den Ausstellungsbesuch informativ und abwechslungsreich. Die interdisziplinäre Ausstellung wurde von rund 90 Studierenden der Fächer Anglistik, Amerikanistik, Germanistik, Geschichtswissenschaft, Kunstgeschichte, Museologie (Ausstellungsmanagement), Romanistik und Slavistik im Wintersemester 2018/19.
This paper deals with the interrelation between the concept of linguistic insecurity described by Labov (1966) and the irregular formation of Spanish superlatives based on Latin roots such as paupérrimo, celebérrimo etc. instead of the analogue formation pobrísimo or celebrísimo. After a brief overview on the frequency of these forms and their alleged regular equivalents in Spanish corpora, a closer look is taken on the speakers’ internal and external aspects of linguistic (in)security. Finally, it is shown by an acceptability test that there are forms on -érrim*, which are not exclusively restricted to the norma culta in Spanish.
This article explores the construction of Catalan masculinity and Catalan identity in literature on the Spanish-Moroccan War of 1859/60. During the war, an immense amount of patriotic literature in Catalan language was published in Catalonia, in which the authors glorified the deeds of the Catalan general Joan Prim i Prats and of the Catalan volunteers who fought in the war. The article aims to illustrate, on the basis of the analysis of poems, theatre plays, patriotic songs, reports and chronicles written by Catalan authors, the importance of the First Spanish-Moroccan War for the development of Catalan identity. It attempts as well to demonstrate that the authors used the literature about the war to diffuse a specific Catalan ideal of masculinity and to stylize General Prim and the volunteers into national heroes, who embodied the strength of the Catalan cultural nation, since the Catalan community needed new idols after a long time of political and cultural decline caused by the centralist policies of the Spanish state. The Catalan ideal of masculinity was utilized to differentiate the Catalans from the other Spaniards whose masculinity was considered to be in decadence by the other European nations.
This article is dedicated to the analysis of the body, which is staged as sick and painful. El último cuerpo de Úrsula by Peruvian author Patricia de Souza is characterized by the connection between body, pain perception and eroticism. Illness and paralysis play a fundamental role in the narrative because they cause the recomposition of the ego, which leads the protagonist, Úrsula Res, to perceive and reflect the fragmentation of her identity and the increasing distance from her body. Through approaches to pain and disability, the expressiveness of the narrativized eroticism of this text, based on an obedient relationship to the body, is revealed.
When it comes to linguistic norms in France, one standard will be immediately evoked – le bon usage. This version of traditional French is taught at school and has been serving as a model ever since the French Revolution. Yet – and maybe as a counter-reaction to such strict and prescriptive norm – there exists a multitude of alternative forms, especially with regard to the lexis, which are marked by different registers or styles. Thus, the French language is characterized by lexical doublets in the transition area between standard and familier. A varied terminology in the description of styles in dictionaries as well as a stigmatisation of the nonstandard lead to speaker insecurities and to a general devaluation of the parallel vocabulary. What are the consequences of this in speech behaviour? Is there a remarkable difference between speech behaviour and prescriptive norm? Do speakers show any sign of linguistic insecurity when using nonstandard structures? The research issue will be addressed by means of a qualitative analysis of videoblogs from French YouTubers.
This article exemplifies Gunter Grimm’s concept of productive reception by analyzing César Fernández García’s young adult novel La última bruja de Trasmoz (2009) and the episode Tiempo de hechizos (2017) of the TV series El ministerio del tiempo as two modern works which artistically and creatively deal with Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer’s Cartas desde mi celda (1864). The study is based on the core assumption that the choice of genre greatly influences the treatment of motives such as the perception of nature and the idea of dreams, as well as the image of the witch. While Bécquer’s letters, which focus on the rural people’s superstition, present the witch of Aragonese folklore, the modern examples portray two of her fantastic counterparts: the novel depicts its magical protagonist as an evil supernatural being, whereas the TV episode of the science fiction series shows the witch as a time traveller and a victim.
