Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Neuere Deutsche Literatur, Note: 1,3, Universität Konstanz, Veranstaltung: Barock, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: „Keine Epoche der europäischen Kulturgeschichte ist so von Widersprüchen geprägt wie das Zeitalter des Barock.“ Während sich zu Zeiten der Renaissance der Mensch seiner Freiheit und seiner schöpferischen Möglichkeiten bewusst wurde, sich erstmals als eigenständiges Individuum zu begreifen schien und sich ein dem Diesseits zugewandtes Lebensgefühl entwickelte, so scheint das Weltbild des barocken Zeitalters dem vollständig entgegen zu stehen. Nahezu jeder Lebensbereich ist von Antithetik geprägt: Ewigkeit und Zeit, Wohlstand und Armut, Aufbau und Zerstörung. Die starken Gegensätze und Spannungen bringen ein großes Vergänglichkeitsbewusstsein in der Gesellschaft zu Tage. Ebenso wirkt die Allgegenwärtigkeit des Todes, ausgelöst durch den 30-jährigen Krieg, der Lebensgier der Menschen entgegen, was sowohl die Entstehung von religiösen Schwärmereien, als auch fanatischem Glauben noch stärker vorantreibt. Die deutsche Barockliteratur versucht das Lebensgefühl der Zeit zu thematisieren und dabei besonders „die polaren Spannungen, [...] das Gegeneinander von üppigem Diesseitsgenuß und fanatischer Jenseitssehnsucht, [...] Körperschwere und Geistesauftrieb“ aufzugreifen und zu diskutieren. Eine besondere Bedeutung kommt hierbei der Bildlichkeit zu. Über die Jahre hinweg entstand eine Vielzahl an Bildern, deren Bedeutungen festgelegt, und die, systematisiert und geordnet, den Dichtern des Barocks zugänglich waren. Sie wurden immer wieder aufgegriffen und in neuen Variationen dargestellt, wobei verbindliche Inhalte und vorgeschriebene Regeln einzuhalten waren. Die bedeutendsten Stilmittel sind dabei Metonymien, Metaphern, Embleme und Allegorien. So wird das 17. Jahrhundert oft auch als „emblematisches“ oder „allegorisches“ Jahrhundert bezeichnet. Auch Andreas Gryphius, der als Lyriker und Dramatiker zu den bedeutendsten deutschen Barockdichtern zu zählen ist, bedient sich in seinen Stücken zahlreicher dieser Stilmittel, wobei dem Emblem als solches, eine besondere Bedeutung zukommt. Im Folgenden soll daher die „allgemeine“ Bedeutung und Funktion, die das Emblem in der Zeit des Barock erhält, herausgearbeitet und einige der bekanntesten Embleme, anhand der von Andreas Gryphius verfassten Märtyrertragödie „Catharina von Georgien“, aus dem Jahre 1657, näher betrachtet, deren Auslegung beschrieben und ihre Funktion hinsichtlich des Stücks, diskutiert werden.

Download or read book Physics and Literature written by Aura Heydenreich and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-12-20 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physics and Literature is a unique collaboration between physicists, literary scholars, and philosophers, the first collection of essays to examine together how science and literature, beneath their practical differences, share core dimensions – forms of questioning, thinking, discovering and communicating insights.This book advances an in-depth exploration of relations between physics and literature from both perspectives. It turns around the tendency to discuss relations between literature and science in one-sided and polarizing ways. The collection is the result of the inaugural conference of ELINAS, the Erlangen Center for Literature and Natural Science, an initiative dedicated to building bridges between literary and scientific research. ELINAS revitalizes discussion of science-literature interconnections with new topics, ideas and angles, by organizing genuine dialogue among participants across disciplinary lines. The essays explore how scientific thought and practices are conditioned by narrative and genre, fiction, models and metaphors, and how science in turn feeds into the meaning-making of literary and philosophical texts. These interdisciplinary encounters enrich reflections on epistemology, cognition and aesthetics.
Download or read book Early Modern European Diplomacy written by Dorothée Goetze and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-12-31 with total page 838 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Diplomatic History has turned into one of the most dynamic and innovative areas of research – especially with regard to early modern history. It has shown that diplomacy was not as homogenous as previously thought. On the contrary, it was shaped by a multitude of actors, practices and places. The handbook aims to characterise these different manifestations of diplomacy and to contextualise them within ongoing scientific debates. It brings together scholars from different disciplines and historiographical traditions. The handbook deliberately focuses on European diplomacy – although non-European areas are taken into account for future research – in order to limit the framework and ensure precise definitions of diplomacy and its manifestations. This must be the prerequisite for potential future global historical perspectives including both the non-European and the European world.

Download or read book Early Modern Diplomacy Theatre and Soft Power written by Nathalie Rivère de Carles and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-10-13 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the secret relations between theatre and diplomacy from the Tudors to the Treaty of Westphalia. It offers an original insight into the art of diplomacy in the 1580-1655 period through the prism of literature, theatre and material history. Contributors investigate English, Italian and German plays of Renaissance theoretical texts on diplomacy, lifting the veil on the intimate relations between ambassadors and the artistic world and on theatre as an unexpected instrument of 'soft power'. The volume offers new approaches to understanding Early Modern diplomacy, which was a source of inspiration for Renaissance drama for Shakespeare and his European contemporaries, and contributed to fashion the aesthetic and the political ideas and practice of the Renaissance.

Download or read book If Then the World a Theatre Present written by Björn Quiring and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2014-08-19 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To metaphorize the world as a theatre has been a common procedure since antiquity, but the use of this trope became particularly prominent and pregnant in early modern times, especially in England. Old and new applications of the “theatrum mundi” topos pervaded discourses, often allegorizing the deceitfulness and impermanence of this world as well as the futility of earthly strife. It was frequently woven into arguments against worldly amusements such as the stage: Commercial theatre was declared an undesirable competitor of God’s well-ordered world drama. Early modern dramatists often reacted to this development by appropriating the metaphor, and in an ingenious twist, some playwrights even appropriated its anti-theatrical impetus: Early modern theatre seemed to discover a denial of its own theatricality at its very core. Drama was found to succeed best when it staged itself as a great unmasking. To investigate the reasons and effects of these developments, the anthology examines the metaphorical uses of theatre in plays, pamphlets, epics, treatises, legal proclamations and other sources.
Download or read book Tragedy written by John Drakakis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-12 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This wide-ranging and unique collection of documents on one of the most enduring of literary genres, Tragedy, offers a radical revaluation of its significance in the light of the critical attention that it has received during the past one-hundred and fifty years. The foundations of much contemporary thinking about Tragedy are to be found in the writings of Hegel, Nietzsche, and Kierkegaard; in addition, the dialectical tradition emanating from Marxism, and the psycho-analytical writings of Freud, have extended significantly the horizons of the subject. With the explosion of interest in the areas of post-structuralism, sociology of culture, social anthropology, feminism, deconstruction, and the study of ritual, new questions are being asked about this persistent artistic exploration of human experience. This book seeks to represent a full selection of these divergent interests, in a series of substantial extracts which display the continuing richness of the debate about a genre which has provoked, and challenged categorical discussion since the appearance of Aristotle's Poetics.

Download or read book The Origin of German Tragic Drama written by Walter Benjamin and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Origin of German Tragic Drama is Walter Benjamin's most sustained and original work. It begins with a general theoretical introduction on the nature of the baroque art of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, concentrating on the peculiar stage-form of royal martyr dramas called Trauerspiel. Benjamin also comments on the engravings of Durer and the theatre of Calderon and Shakespeare. Baroque tragedy, he argues, was distinguished from classical tragedy by its shift from myth into history. Georg Lukacs, an opponent of Benjamin's aesthetics, singled out The Origin of German Tragic Drama as one of the main sources of literary modernism in the twentieth century.
