Zwischen Sprachekstase Und Sprachkrise? – Utopische Sprachreflexionen Bei Novalis Und Hofmannsthal, Adam Gacs
Zwischen Sprachekstase Und Sprachkrise? – Utopische Sprachreflexionen Bei Novalis Und Hofmannsthal, Adam Gacs
Masters Theses
The following thesis looks at manifestations of reflections about language as a medium for communication in the works of Novalis and Hugo von Hofmannsthal. Tracing similar statements that refer to linguistic crisis and linguistic scepticism in the fictional and theoretical works of both authors, I demonstrate that it is impossible to give a clear definition of their relationship towards language. I therefore suggest that their complex relationship to language should be viewed as a shifting concept on an axis somewhere between linguistic innovation and linguistic skepticism. The selected works by Novalis (Monolog and Die Lehrlinge zu Sais) and by Hofmannsthal …
Context, Identity And Linguistic Hybridity Among Turkish - German Bilinguals, Daniel J. Scanlon
Context, Identity And Linguistic Hybridity Among Turkish - German Bilinguals, Daniel J. Scanlon
Open Access Theses
The purpose of the current study is to provide a more detailed account of the manifestation of identities via language. I look specifically at the most recent generation of Turkish-German bilinguals living in Germany. There are many linguistic characteristics ascribable to this generation of speakers, as has been the case with preceding generations. Three types of code-switching are described; intersentential, intrasentential and what I have called the hybrid code-switch. The latter hybrid codeswitch is observed as a more recent phenomenon, thus I designate it as characteristic of the most recent generation of Turkish-Gem1an bilinguals. This hybrid is composed of one …
Angelo Soliman Then And Now: A Historical And Psychoanalytical Interpretation Of Soliman Depictions In Modern German Literature, Erin Elizabeth Read
Angelo Soliman Then And Now: A Historical And Psychoanalytical Interpretation Of Soliman Depictions In Modern German Literature, Erin Elizabeth Read
Masters Theses
This paper explores the general historical context and one particular theoretical context of modern depictions of Angelo Soliman, a court moor who lived in Vienna from 1755 to 1796. The historical context encompasses what we know of Soliman’s biography, his biographers and their research processes. The theoretical context encompasses Frantz Fanon’s application of psychoanalysis to the black man in his book Black Skin, White Masks (1952). These contexts inform an analysis of two modern theatrical depictions of Soliman: Ludwig Fels’ play Soliman (1991) and Andreas Pflüger and Lukas Holliger’s comic opera Der schwarze Mozart (2005). The changes these two authors …
Vilma Weber Von Webenau : Die Marienlieder, Sommerlieder Für Streichquartett Und Eine Sprechstimme, Carolyn Dehdari
Vilma Weber Von Webenau : Die Marienlieder, Sommerlieder Für Streichquartett Und Eine Sprechstimme, Carolyn Dehdari
Undergraduate Honors Theses
Vilma von Webenau (1875-1953) is not only worthy of study because of her connection with teacher Arnold Schoenberg. Her music is unique in the era of fin-de-siecle Vienna, but it also holds interest today because of its atmoshpheric and durational complexity, self-composed texts, and harmonic ambiguities. This critical edition seeks not only to present two of WEbenau's seventy works, but also to place Webenau in her historical and musical context. Exploring the aspects of Viennese modernism and the world that created it, I wish to give background to Webenau's life, of which so little is known. In trying to understand …
Irgendwo Muss Man Doch Einmal Hingehoeren': Irmgard Keun As Heiress To The Flaneur.", Matthew D. Embley
Irgendwo Muss Man Doch Einmal Hingehoeren': Irmgard Keun As Heiress To The Flaneur.", Matthew D. Embley
Theses and Dissertations
Flanerie is the art of taking a walk, leisurely observing the movements and spaces of the city. By writing about cityscapes, urban realms, and the condition of society, flaneurs are able to describe the uniqueness of the metropolis and give life to the modern city—creating a photograph of an urban setting. In the early nineteenth century, and even today, flaneur literature has been ultimately dominated by men who have documented their cultural and aesthetic interactions with the city. During these times, unwritten rules have often excluded the female from participating in parts of the urban society. Today, these unwritten rules …

Undergraduate Honors Theses
This is an Internet-based project that will serve as a guide to scholarly resources, including introductory material to texts written by key figures in the Austrian Women’s Movment a the turn of twentieth century. This project is also an overview of the Allgemeine Oesterreichische Frauenverein (AÖFV), or General Austrian Women’s Organization, and its key leaders and publications during its peak years between 1893-1910. The AÖFV was one of the most influential women’s organizations in fin-de-siècle Vienna, changing the face of politics and society for women. The three key figures, Rosa Mayreder (1858-1938), Auguste Fickert (1855-1910), and Marie Lang (1858 1934), …
