Divine Justice And Profane Power: Benjamin’S And Kafka’S Approach To Messianism, Solibakke Ivan Karl
Divine Justice And Profane Power: Benjamin’S And Kafka’S Approach To Messianism, Solibakke Ivan Karl

Intrinsically dialectical in nature, sudden messianic change and the resolute character of the law are so closely connected with one another that both concepts should be among the key factors shaping a broad understanding of global cultures today. Whether we await the coming of the messiah as the Jewish religion teaches or commemorate his having come and died as most Christian teachings hold, it appears that Walter Benjamin’s “now of a particular recognizability” (The Arcades Project 493) remains elusive, especially with respect to the correlation between the past and the future. In the spirit of temporal vectors that converge, Benjamin’s …

Deutsch-Österreichische Beethoven-Bilder: Richard Wagner, Elfriede Jelinek Und “Der Zorn Der Schreiber”, Solibakke Ivan Karl

The article explores how Richard Wagner’s Beethoven and Elfriede Jelinek’s Das Lebewohl draw on music and musical aesthetics to signify national and cultural aspirations in Germany and Austria. As an artistic experience that transcends borders, Beethoven’s music has often provoked questions about cultural memory, “national art forms,” and collective identity in nineteenth- and twentieth-century German intellectual history. Though very different in nature, Wagner’s politically charged Beethoven and the monolog that Jelinek ascribes to the right-wing Austrian politician J¨org Haider show how important music and language can be when national goals and cultural politics join forces.
The Pride And Prejudice Of The Western World: The Iconicity Of The Great Books, Solibakke Ivan Karl
The Pride And Prejudice Of The Western World: The Iconicity Of The Great Books, Solibakke Ivan Karl
Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics - All Scholarship
This article examines controversies arising from the perception of the instruments of cultural memory and the logic of their transmissibility. On the one hand, we have a carefully selected, temporally and geographically orchestrated body of texts, the Great Books, which are an enduring testament to the authority of Western intellectual artifacts. On the other hand, Jacques Derrida’s Archive Fever locates a furtive transformation of collective memory in the informal practices exemplified by oral narrative and public discourse. Not only do both models rely on archives as a functional instrument of collective identity, but they also value them as institutions circumscribing …

Heinrich Heine und Robert Schumann begegneten sich nur für wenige Stunden am 8. Mai 1828 in München. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt hatte der bereits berühmte Dichter seine Heimatstadt Düsseldorf seit einem guten Jahrzehnt verlassen, während der 17jährige Komponist noch nicht ahnen konnte, dass seine musikalische Laufbahn einst in der gleichen Stadt enden sollte.
