Asian-European Cultural Mediation In The Works Of Galsan Tschinag, Richard Hacken

Faculty Publications

This paper, presented at an MLA International Symposium in Düsseldorf, Germany--"Other Europes: Migrations, Translations, Transformations"-- explores the sources of Galsan Tschinag's reception as a cultural mediator, based on post-colonial readings of his German-language writings and statements. Tschinag's status as shaman, healer and chief within his own people merges with the fact of his literary voice in German. While exoticism might explain part of his appeal, I show literary and philosophical elements that help to subvert stereotypes and promote cultural understanding.

It focuses on literary mediation between Asia and Europe, especially Germany, as found in his poetry and prose. In secondary literature Galsan Tschinag has been called the corrective “polar reverse of an Orientalist;” an apologist for round stones in a culture of angular concrete; a wanderer between worlds; an ambassador for Tuva; a linguistic nomad; the poet as shaman; a phenomenon on German talk shows; the Tuvan Moses; a cultural …

Into The Imagined Forest: A 2000-Year Retrospective Of The German Woods, Richard Hacken

Faculty Publications

In a "House of Learning" lecture in the Harold B. Lee Library in October, 2008, Richard Hacken gave this presentation, a combination of text and images. Coming from the history of ideas, this retrospective of the German woods looked at historical, linguistic, artistic, philosophical, political, literary, cultural, and of course botanical aspects of the German forest. In summary, five major forest themes arise from Germans imagining their own German woods: (1) taming the external and internal wilderness; (2) establishing social justice; (3) advocating national unity; (4) maintaining a sense of the sacred; and (5) encouraging ecological awareness.

Über Goethes "Classiker Und Romantiker In Italien [...]", Ilona Klein

Faculty Publications

Der zweite, 1820 veröffentlichte Band von "Über Kunst und Alterthum" enthielt einen Artikel Goethes, dessen ersten Teil er bereits zwei Jahre zuvor verfaßt hatte. Der Aufsatz mit dem Titel "Klassiker und Romantiker in Italien, sich heftig bekämpfend" sollte die literarische Szene Italiens im zweiten Jahrzehnt des 19. Jahrhunderts beschreiben. Der zweite Satz des Artikels lautet folgendermaßen: Das Publicum theilt sich in zwei Parteien, sie stehen schlagfertig gegen einander, und wenn wir Deutschen uns ganz geruhig des Adjectivum romantisch bei Gelegenheit bedienen, so werden dort durch die Ausdrücke Romanticismus und Kriticismus zwei unversöhnliche Seiten bezeichnet.
