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.

Download or read book Benjamin s Library written by Jane O. Newman and published by Cornell University Press and Cornell University Library. 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.
