    TALKING ABOUT THE AESTHETIC OF THE HUMANE: EXPLORING COMMUNICATION IN THE CONTENT AND STRUCTURE OF HEINRICH BÖLL’S EARLY NOVELS A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School Of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts By David Sebastian Low January 2009 © 2009 David Sebastian Low ABSTRACT In his Frankfurter Vorlesungen Heinrich Böll attempts to formulate an aesthetic program that explains how the moral content of writing might be inscribed in its structure. This “aesthetic of the humane” would involve the subject-matter and orientation of a work’s content toward the representation of the historically real and the truth content of that reality. The “real” as it is in the historical world and that “reality” that contains the truth content of the experienced world are to be unified in the aesthetic of the humane, and it is the author who is burdened with the task of mediating the two for her reader. In many of his essays Böll privileges communication as an inherently moral act, and emphasizes the responsibility of the author to use his vocation humanely. In order to understand how Böll realized the concept of the aesthetic of the humane in his own writing we may look to how he uses communication within his texts to demonstrate moral action. Communication between characters at the level of plot corresponds to the author’s obligation to depict the “real” historical component, and communicative structures in the matrix of his novels relate to the “reality” of mediated experience provided as commentary by the author to the reader.

Following the success of Ahnfrau, however, Grillparzer returns to a much more widespread use of Classical themes, motifs and vocabulary, especially in Sappho, Grillparzer's mood in the period 1816-21 was one of introversion and pessimism, and there is an emphasis on the vocabulary of quiet peace and withdrawal.

  • Narrating a Valley in Max Frisch's Der Mensch Erscheint Im Holozän
    humanities Article Narrating a Valley in Max Frisch’s Der Mensch erscheint im Holozän: Material Agency, Rain, and the Geologic Past Kiley M. Kost Department of German and Russian, Carleton College, Northfield, IL 55057, USA; [email protected] Abstract: The complex narrative composition of image and text in Max Frisch’s Der Mensch erscheint im Holozän discloses entanglements between humans and nonhuman entities that impact the narrative and that demand careful consideration. The story depicts the aging protagonist’s struggle with memory loss and his careful examination of the valley’s mountain formations in fear of a landslide. In this analysis, I show that both of these threats can be read as entangled with nonhuman agents. By focusing on the material dimension of the text, two central and related shifts occur: the background element of rain becomes foregrounded in the narrative, and the natural formations of the valley that are assumed to be static are revealed to be dynamic. These shifts lead to an interpretation of Frisch’s text focused on the impacts of rain and the temporal scale of the text’s geologic dimension. Approaching the text through the lens of material ecocriticism unveils the multiple agencies at play, decenters the human, and illustrates the embodied experience of climate change. Keywords: material ecocriticism; rain; geology; scale; Max Frisch; Der Mensch erscheint im Holozän 1. “Draußen regnet es” When Max Frisch was living in Berzona, a small village near Lake Maggiore in the Citation: Kost, Kiley M.. 2021.

  • "The Silent Angel" by Heinrich Boll
    ISSN 2411-9598 (Print) European Journal of January-April 2018 ISSN 2411-4103 (Online) Language and Literature Studies Volume 4 Issue 1 Function of Symbols in the Setting of the Novel "The Silent Angel" by Heinrich Boll Somayeh Aghajani Kalkhoran Assistant professor at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies. Abstract The story atmosphere includes the setting, scene components, and all the descriptions the author uses to further advance the plot, events, and introduction of characters. In a good story, none of the words and parts of the story are futile and are used in the direction of the author's purpose for the artistic treatment of events and characters of the story. In the novel "The Silent Angel" by Heinrich Boll, the author uses tools such as dark and negative color like yellow and black, describes the scenes and people with negative words and uses several statues to create a cool and sober atmosphere of war also confusion and discouragement of people and inconvenient events and shows them more tangible and powerful to the reader of the story. Heinrich Boll, using the power of symbols in colors and words, brings the reader fully into the story atmosphere and creates all the emotions in the reader that can be seen and received from the warrior city and its people. Keywords: Setting, Symbol, The Silent Angel, Heinrich Boll Introduction In a good story all words have their own role and make the components of the fiction such as plot, setting, characters and so on. These words represent the whole story which is the result of interaction between the author’s internal and external worlds that are under influence of situation and society circumstances.

It asks how far they established principles of ‘intellectual exile’ that have gained currency in the writings of Edward Said and Vilém Flusser. It compares Schiller’s Ästhetische Briefe with Adorno’s reception of them; it examines concepts of exile in Goethe’s ‘Erste Epistel’ and Unterhaltungen deutscher Ausgewanderten. Finally, it asks how elegy fits into a poetics of exile. The article suggests a fresh perspective on Weimar Classicism, and widened scope for Exilforschung.

  • The Essential Goethe
    Introduction Reading a French translation of his drama Faust in 1828, Goethe was struck by how “much brighter and more deliberately constructed” it appeared to him than in his original German. He was fascinated by the translation of his writing into other languages, and he was quick to acknowledge the important role of translation in modern culture. Literature, he believed, was becoming less oriented toward the nation. Soon there would be a body of writing— “world literature” was the term he coined for it— that would be international in scope and readership. He would certainly have been delighted to find that his writing is currently enjoying the attention of so many talented translators. English- speaking readers of Faust now have an embarrassment of riches, with modern versions by David Luke, Randall Jarrell, John Williams, and David Constantine. Constantine and Stanley Corngold have recently produced ver- sions of The Sorrows of Young Werther, the sentimental novel of 1774 that made Goethe a European celebrity and prompted Napoleon to award him the Le- gion d’Honneur. Luke and John Whaley have done excellent selections of Goethe’s poetry in English. At the same time the range of Goethe’s writing available in English remains quite narrow, unless the reader is lucky enough to find the twelve volumes of Goethe’s Collected Works published jointly by Princeton University Press and Suhrkamp Verlag in the 1980s. The Princeton edition was an ambitious undertaking. Under the general editorship of three Goethe scholars, Victor Lange, Eric Blackall, and Cyrus Hamlyn, it brought together versions by over twenty translators covering a wide range of Goethe’s writings: poetry, plays, novels and shorter prose fiction, an autobiography, and essays on the arts, philosophy, and science.

  • STUDY the AESTHETIC ASPECTS of GOETHE's POEM Zeynab
    International Journal of Asian Social Science, 2016, 6(6): 347-358 International Journal of Asian Social Science ISSN(e): 2224-4441/ISSN(p): 2226-5139 URL: www.aessweb.com STUDY THE AESTHETIC ASPECTS OF GOETHE’S POEM Zeynab Rahmanyan1 1Department of Persian Language Literature, Payame Noor University, Tehran, Iran ABSTRACT Goethe, the prominent German poet, writer, philosopher and scholar should be regarded as a joint between the literature of Classicism and Romanticism. Some of his works belong to the classical movement and another part of his work belongs to the radical and progressive movement in German Romanticism. In fact, Goethe is known as a poet, scholar and philosopher between the two main streams in Europe: Classicism and Romanticism. He carries the ideas of Classicism and also establishes new ideas of Romanticism. Hence, in terms of aesthetics, he is considered to be among the leading theorists of Romanticism school because he has reflected many creative and pure ideas of Romanticism in his literary and philosophical works. German literature owes to Goethe's intellectual and aestheticism. This article tries to display aesthetic aspects of Goethe’s poem in addition to study the literary and artistic features and characteristics of Romanticism school. © 2016 AESS Publications. All Rights Reserved. Keywords: Poetry, Aesthetics, German literature, Romanticism, Goethe. Contribution/ Originality This study is one of very few studies which have investigated about Goethe and its Aesthetic poetry.
