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 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 The Constructive Art of Gryphius Historical Tragedies written by Janifer Gerl Stackhouse and published by Peter Lang Group Ag, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1986 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study clarifies how Gryphius worked with a variety of source materials to artistically construct his four historical tragedies. Three conventional dramatic forms and techniques (choruses, poeticized monologues or Prunkreden, and visionary phenomena) are examined to determine how he poetically heightened his source material to proclaim vanitas mundi and the corollary message of gloria coeli. His creative use of these traditional conventions established the procedural mode of drama construction followed in Germany until the end of his century.

This book was released on 2011-12-15 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Benjamin’s Library, Jane O. Newman offers, for the first time in any language, a reading of Walter Benjamin’s notoriously opaque work, Origin of the German Tragic Drama that systematically attends to its place in discussions of the Baroque in Benjamin’s day. Taking into account the literary and cultural contexts of Benjamin’s work, Newman recovers Benjamin’s relationship to the ideologically loaded readings of the literature and political theory of the seventeenth-century Baroque that abounded in Germany during the political and economic crises of the Weimar years. To date, the significance of the Baroque for Origin of the German Tragic Drama has been glossed over by students of Benjamin, most of whom have neither read it in this context nor engaged with the often incongruous debates about the period that filled both academic and popular texts in the years leading up to and following World War I. Armed with extraordinary historical, bibliographical, philological, and orthographic research, Newman shows the extent to which Benjamin participated in these debates by reconstructing the literal and figurative history of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century books that Benjamin analyzes and the literary, art historical and art theoretical, and political theological discussions of the Baroque with which he was familiar. In so doing, she challenges the exceptionalist, even hagiographic, approaches that have become common in Benjamin studies. The result is a deeply learned book that will infuse much-needed life into the study of one of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century.

Download or read book Baroque written by Peter J. Burgard and published by Wilhelm Fink Verlag. This book was released on 2019 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What is the Baroque? Where did it come from and where did it go? Why do we have to ask these questions? Because art historians seem largely satisfied with their answers and most scholars of German literature are not satisfied, yet have stopped asking.This book discerns in the Baroque an aesthetic phenomenon that crosses both media and national boundaries in its celebration of excess and its disintegration of system, unity, and identity. The compositional principles and theoretical implications of the Baroque, as it first arose in Italian art, find expression in German poetics, drama, poetry, and narrative ? expression accessible only through resolute close reading. Readings of Bernini, Borromini, Velázquez, Rubens, Fracanzano, and de Hooch precipitate readings of Opitz, Gryphius, Fleming, Zesen, Hoffmannswaldau, and Grimmelshausen, demonstrating that seventeenth-century German literature both is Baroque and confirms what the Baroque is."--Page 4 of cover.
Download or read book Rhetoric and Drama written by DS Mayfield and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2017-03-06 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proving fruitful in various applications throughout its two millennia of predominance, the rhetorical téchne appears to have entertained a particularly symbiotic interrelation with drama. With contributions from (among others) a Classicist, historical, linguistic, musicological, operatic, cultural and literary studies perspective, this publication offers interdisciplinary assessments of specific reciprocities between the system of rhetoric and dramatic works: tracing the longue durée of this nexus—highlighting its Ancient foundations, its various Early Modern formations, as well as certain configurations enduring to this day—enables describing shifting degrees of rhetoricity; approaching it from an interdisciplinary viewpoint facilitates focusing on the often sidelined rhetorical phenomena located beyond the textual plane, specifically memoria and actio; tackling this interchange from various viewpoints and with diverse emphases, a long-lasting and highly prolific cross-fertilization between drama and rhetoric is rendered visible. In tendering a balanced panorama of both detailed case studies and descriptive overviews, this volume also points toward terrain yet to be charted in the scholarship to come. The volume was prepared in co-operation with the ERC Advanced Grant Project Early Modern European Drama and the Cultural Net (DramaNet).
