Book Bl  tezeiten und nationale Literaturgeschichtsschreibung

Download or read book Bl tezeiten und nationale Literaturgeschichtsschreibung written by Wolfgang Pfaffenberger and published by Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften. This book was released on 1981 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Im Zentrum dieser systematisch wie historisch verfahrenden Studie zur germanistischen Wissenschaftsgeschichte stehen die sogenannten «Blütezeit-Modelle», die von nationaler Literarhistorie im 19. Jh. entwickelt, kanonisiert und gleichwohl zeittypisch verändert werden. Diese quasi-geschichtsphilosophischen Modelle postulieren die zeitlose Normativität zweier Literaturgipfel um 1200 und 1800. Die Arbeit untersucht deren Entstehung, Struktur und historische Bedingtheit und umgreift dabei den Zeitraum von Gervinus (1835) bis Scherer (1883).

  • Author : André Jolles
  • Publisher : Leipziger Universitätsverlag
  • Release : 2000
  • ISBN : 9783934565111
  • Pages : 1196 pages

Download or read book Gebildeter Vagant written by André Jolles and published by Leipziger Universitätsverlag. This book was released on 2000 with total page 1196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: André Jolles (1874-1946) gehört zu den herausragenden Intellektuellen der Niederlande in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Seine Ausstrahlung über die Landesgrenze hinaus basiert zudem auf einer langjährigen Hochschullehrerlaufbahn an der Universität Leipzig. Als Autor von "Einfache Formen" (1930) genießt Jolles unverändert hohes Ansehen in literatur- und kunsthistorischen Kreisen. Seit zwei Jahrzehnten hat sich das Interesse an seiner Person und seinem Werk spürbar verstärkt, namentlich die Veröffentlichung von Jolles Korrespondenz mit Johan Huizinga erregte viel Aufmerksamkeit und regte weitere Beschäftigung mit einer komplizierten Vita an. Erstmals wird jetzt die Sammlung aller bekannten Briefe von André Jolles vorgelegt. Ihre Lektüre sowie die beigefügten Dokumente zeichnen das fesselnde Porträt einer komplizierten und zuweilen schillernden Persönlichkeit, die ungeachtet einer immer stärkeren Menschenscheu mitten im geistigen Leben ihrer Zeit stand. Auch die problematischen Entscheidungen in seinem Leben - in Sonderheit die Parteinahme für den deutschen Nationalsozialismus - waren von der Fähigkeit zur Selbstreflexion begleitet, so daß der Leser einen tiefen Einblick in Konflikte gewinnt, die die Zeitläufe des 20. Jahrhunderts in individuelle Biographien zu schlagen vermochten. Ein wichtiges Kapitel europäischer Wissenschaftsgeschichte wird so ins Gedächtnis zurückgeholt.

Book The German Enlightenment and the Rise of Historicism

Download or read book The German Enlightenment and the Rise of Historicism written by Peter H. Reill and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024-07-26 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The German Enlightenment and the Rise of Historicism traces the thought of a large and neglected group of German thinkers and their encounter with the ideas and ideal of the Enlightenment from 1740 to 1790. Concentrating on the nature of their historical consciousness, Peter Hanns Reill addresses two basic issues in the interpretation of the Enlightenment: to what degree can one speak of the unity of the Enlightenment and to what extent can the Enlightenment be characterized as “modern”? Reill attempts to revise the traditional interpretation of the Enlightenment as an age insensitive to the postulates of modern historical thought and to dissolve the alleged opposition of the Enlightenment to later intellectual developments such as Idealism. He argues that German Enlightened thinkers generated the general presuppositions upon which modern historical thought is founded. Asserting that the Enlightenment was not a unitary movement, Reill shows how each phase of it had unique elements and made contributions to Enlightenment thought as a whole. Exploring the forms of thought, the mental climate, and the different intellectual milieus in which the German thinkers operated, Reill demonstrates that they were confronted by two opposing intellectual traditions: German Pietism and rationalism. In attempting to reconcile both without submerging one into the other, these Enlightenment thinkers turned to historical speculation and learning. They discussed the relation between religious and rationalistic assumptions, the transformation of the concepts of religion and law, the interaction between aesthetic and historical thought, the creation of a theory of understanding to support the new idea of history, the use of causation in historical analysis, and the rediscovery of the Middle Ages. Reill reveals how they anticipated the work of more famous thinkers of the nineteenth century and establishes the conceptual similarities between thinkers generally thought to be more different than alike. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1975.

Download or read book The People s Wars written by Mark Hewitson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-09 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did ministers, journalists, academics, artists, and subjects in the German lands imagine war during the nineteenth century? The Napoleonic Wars had been the bloodiest in Europe's history, directly affecting millions of Germans, yet their long-term consequences on individuals and on 'politics' are still poorly understood. This study makes sense of contemporaries' memories and histories of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic campaigns within a much wider context of press reportage of wars elsewhere in Europe and overseas, debates about military service and the reform of Germany's armies, revolution and counter-revolution, and individuals' experiences of violence and death in their everyday lives. For the majority of the populations of the German states, wars during an era of conscription were not merely a matter of history and memory; rather, they concerned subjects' hopes, fears, and expectations of the future. This is the second volume of Mark Hewitson's study of the violence of war in the German lands during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It investigates the complex relationship between military conflicts and the violent acts of individual soldiers. In particular, it considers the contradictory impact of 'pacification' in civilian life and exposure to increasingly destructive technologies of killing during war-time. This contradiction reached its nineteenth-century apogee during the 'wars of unification', leaving an ambiguous imprint on post-war discussions of military conflict.

Book Germany and the Modern World  1880   1914

Download or read book Germany and the Modern World 1880 1914 written by Mark Hewitson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-05 with total page 533 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The German Empire before 1914 had the fastest growing economy in Europe and was the strongest military power in the world. Yet it appeared, from a reading of many contemporaries' accounts, to be lagging behind other nation-states and to be losing the race to divide up the rest of the globe. This book is an ambitious re-assessment of how Wilhelmine Germans conceived of themselves and the German Empire's place in the world in the lead-up to the First World War. Mark Hewitson re-examines the varying forms of national identification, allegiance and politics following the creation and consolidation of a German nation-state in light of contemporary debates about modernity, race, industrialization, colonialism and military power. Despite the new claims being made for the importance of empire to Germany's development, he reveals that the majority of transnational networks and contemporaries' interactions and horizons remained intra-European or transatlantic rather than truly global.

Book   sthetic as science of expression and general linguistic

Download or read book sthetic as science of expression and general linguistic written by Benedetto Croce and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2019-12-05 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benedetto Croce's 'Aesthetic as Science of Expression and General Linguistic' is a classic book on aesthetics and art theory. Croce defines aesthetics as the science of intuitive knowledge, and for him, intuition and expression are both of equal value. He offers a detailed history of aesthetics, which is both illuminating and penetrating. The book is a thought-provoking discourse on thinkers whose importance only matches their obscurity. Croce's writing is simple yet deep, making this book a must-read for anyone interested in aesthetics.
