Book A Companion to the Works of Arthur Schnitzler

Download or read book A Companion to the Works of Arthur Schnitzler written by Dagmar C. G. Lorenz and published by Camden House. This book was released on 2003 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh collection of essays on the work of one of the leading figures of the Viennese fin de siècle.This volume of specially commissioned essays takes a fresh look at the Viennese Jewish dramatist and prose writer Arthur Schnitzler. Fascinatingly, Schnitzler''s productive years spanned the final phase of the Habsburg monarchy, World War I, the First Austrian Republic, and the rise of National Socialism, and he realized earlier than many of his contemporaries the threat that racist anti-Semitism posed to the then almost complete assimilation of Austrian Jews. His writings also reflect the irresolvable conflict between emerging feminism and the relentless "scientific" discourse of misogyny, and he chronicles the collapse of traditional social structures at the end of the Habsburg monarchy and the struggles of the newly founded republic. In the 1950s Schnitzler''s powerful literary record assumed model character for Viennese Jewish intellectuals born after the Shoah, and his portrayal of gender relations and role expectations and casual sex are received with the same fascination today as they were by the audiences of his own time. Schnitzler remains a major figure in contemporary European culture, as his works are still widely read, performed, and adapted -- witness Stanley Kubrick''s adaptation of Schnitzler''s Traumnovelle as the 1999 film Eyes Wide Shut. In this volume a team of international scholars explores Schnitzler''s dramas and prose worksfrom contemporary critical vantage points, but within the context of Austria''s multicultural society at a time of unprecedented change.

Download or read book Shadow Lines written by Lorna Martens and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intellectual culture in early twentieth-century Austria reached levels of originality and excellence that have rarely been equalled before or since. Shadow Lines examines works by major novelists, dramatists, poets, and intellectuals of that extraordinary era-among them, Sigmund Freud, Arthur Schnitzler, Robert Musil, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Rainer Maria Rilke, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and Franz Kafka. Lorna Martens considers how each of these authors contributed to a decisive transformation in Austrian culture, involving a shift away from the dialectical syntheses of much nineteenth-century German thought and culture to potent, unresolvable dualisms of known and unknown-orderly and chaotic-features of human experience: consciousness and the unconscious, reason and the irrational, language and the inexpressible. In most of these writers, according to Martens, all that is knowable, reasonable, and orderly is grounded in that which is dark, irrational, chaotic. What Martens calls "the dark area" emerges variously "as the unconscious (Freud), the sexual drive (Freud, Schnitzler, Musil), the death instinct (Freud, Schnitzler), the dangerous chaos below the surface of things (Rilke), the inaccessible totality (von Hofmannsthal), or the unsayable (Mauthner, von Hofmannsthal, Musil, Wittgenstein)." The essential yet enigmatic relation between the known and the unknown leads to much that is unsettling-and strangely fascinating-in these writers' works. A book that shrewdly relates the works of these authors to the intellectual and political turmoil of the times, Shadow Lines is a new critical appraisal of Austrian literature and intellectual culture at the dawn of the century. Lorna Martens is anassociate professor in the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures at the University of Virginia. She is the author of The Diary Novel.

  • ISBN : 3643901542
  • Pages : 230 pages

Download or read book The Red Jester written by Judith Wermuth and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2012 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What was Andrei Bely's aim in his ambiguous novel Petersburg? For the first time, this study firmly places Bely's work at the heart of the European Modern (die Moderne). The book argues that the novel - with its concern for the spiritual and its desire to create new aesthetics - helped reshape fundamental views of reality, of the Self, and of consciousness. Theories of Freud and Jung, as well as the aesthetics of the Viennese Secession, are used to elucidate Bely's approach to the narrative. The book also presents Rudolf Steiner's anthroposophy as the prism through which Bely reflects modernist ideas. (Series: Slavistik - Vol. 1)

Book Arthur Schnitzler

Download or read book Arthur Schnitzler written by Ian Foster and published by Peter Lang Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arthur Schnitzler durchlebte eine Zeitenwende: der Erste Weltkrieg verwandelte Osterreich von einem multinationalen Imperium in einen deutschsprachigen Kleinstaat. Beides, das Vorher und das Nachher, markiert Schnitzlers Zeitgenossenschaft. Er lebte in einer geistesgeschichtlichen und literarischen Umbruchsphase. Der burgerlich-liberale Konsens, der Schnitzlers Milieu charakterisierte, wurde in seinen Grunduberzeugungen herausgefordert. Wissenschaftliche und technische Errungenschaften kennzeichnen Schnitzlers Zeitgenossenschaft. Arthur Schnitzler lived through a time of profound political, social and intellectual change: the First World War transformed Austria from a huge multi-national empire into a small Alpine republic; the liberal middle-class consensus which characterised the author's personal background began to disintegrate during this time, and new departures not only in science and technology but also in literary styles and conventions posed new challenges to a politically involved and acutely socially aware modern writer.

Book Illusion and Reality

Download or read book Illusion and Reality written by Arthur Schnitzler and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1986 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arthur Schnitzler (1862-1931) is recognized, along with Hugo von Hofmannsthal, as the major literary exponent of the fin-de-siecle and impressionism in the German-speaking world. Through skillful variation of the basic theme of illusion and reality in such masterpieces as At the Green Cockatoo, The Dead are Silent, and Blind Geronimo and his Brother, Schnitzler explores the primal relationships of human experience. The moods Schnitzler creates range from the lighthearted, to the melancholy, to the existential, while the psychological portraits he paints provide the stimuli for the reader to ponder the essence of life and death and love. Stream-of-consciousness techniques in the prose and the witty dialogue of the plays unmask the psyches of characters whose humanness is as authentic today as it was at the turn of the century. This anthology of thirteen first-time and new translations is preceded by introductory notes on the period, author, and individual selections, as well as by Hofmannsthal's lyrical introduction to Anatol."

Book The Late Dramatic Works of Arthur Schnitzler

Download or read book The Late Dramatic Works of Arthur Schnitzler written by Brigitte Lina Schneider-Halvorson and published by New York : P. Lang. This book was released on 1983 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thorough interpretation of Schnitzler's dramas, published after World War I, shows a distinct development toward maturity. This can be seen in the complexity of his characters, especially women who manifest personal freedom of choice in their lives. The idea of equating «home or returning home» with «love» is new and indicative of the maturing process. The theme of age or aging is interpreted differently. Recurring «Leitgestalten» and «Leitmotive» emphasize Schnitzler's process of ethical and moral revaluation in his late dramatic works. Contrary to common assumptions, these dramas continue to demonstrate the importance Schnitzler's as a dramatist.

Book Art as Spectacle

    Book Details:
  • Author : Naomi Ritter
  • Publisher : University of Missouri Press
  • Release : 1989
  • ISBN : 9780826207197
  • Pages : 374 pages

Download or read book Art as Spectacle written by Naomi Ritter and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do images of entertainers abound in European literature and art since Romanticism? From Baudelaire to Picasso, from Daumier to Fellini, mimes, clowns, aerialists, and jesters recur in major works by continental artists. In Art as Spectacle, Naomi Ritter investigates this phenomenon and offers explanations that transcend the array of works discussed. Her analysis implies much about the triangle of creator, work, and audience that inevitably controls art. Although a broadly comparative study underlies Art as Spectacle, the book focuses mainly on examples from Germany and France. Three areas of argument-identification, primitivism, and transcendence-account for the performer's ubiquity in the arts of the last two centuries. Ritter shows that writers, painters, choreographers, and filmmakers have persistently identified with the entertainer, whose roots lie in primitive ritual: a source of all art. Accordingly, the artist also sees the player as morally or spiritually elevated. With three chapters on literature, a chapter comparing poetry to painting, and a chapter each on dance, the visual arts, and film, Art as Spectacle offers unprecedented scope on a compelling topic in comparative studies. By integrating such varied material into an original commentary on the image of the entertainers, this book provides an invaluable resource for all the disciplines it touches.
