Modernist Permabulations Through Time and Space
Journal of the British Academy, 4, 197–219. DOI 10.5871/jba/004.197 Posted 18 October 2016. © The British Academy 2016 Modernist perambulations through time and space: From Enlightened walking to crawling, stalking, modelling and street-walking Lecture in Modern Languages read 19 May 2016 ANNE FUCHS Fellow of the Academy Abstract: Analysing diverse modes of walking across a wide range of texts from the Enlightenment period and beyond, this article explores how the practice of walking was discovered by philosophers, educators and writers as a rich discursive trope that stood for competing notions of the morally good life. The discussion proceeds to then investigate how psychological, philosophical and moral interpretations of bad prac- tices of walking in particular resurface in texts by Franz Kafka, Thomas Mann and the interwar writer Irmgard Keun. It is argued that literary modernism transformed walking from an Enlightenment trope signifying progress into the embodiment of moral and epistemological ambivalence. In this process, walking becomes an expression of the disconcerting experience of modernity. The paper concludes with a discussion of walking as a gendered performance: while the male walkers in the modernist texts under discussion suffer from a bad gait that leads to ruination, the new figure of the flâneuse manages to engage in pleasurable walking by abandoning the Enlightenment legacy of the good gait. Keywords: modes of walking, discursive trope, Enlightenment discourse, modernism, modernity, moral and epistemological ambivalence, gender, flâneuse. Walking on one’s two legs is an essential but ordinary skill that, unlike cycling, skate-boarding, roller-skating or ballroom dancing, does not require special proficiency, aptitude or thought—unless, of course, we are physically impaired. -
Wind and Calm.Rtf
WIND AND CALM Mané-Katz Stormy Seas Arthur Segal Halen: Ciotat (Harbour Scene) Oil on canvas 1934 Oil on canvas 1929 CONTENT AND IDEAS What can you see in these two pictures? • Mané-Katz’s painting shows a single small sailing boat with two sailors on foaming waves. • Segal’s painting shows several sailing boats moored in the harbour of a village or small town with people walking along the quayside and two people aboard the boats. Activity Ask children to take turns to say one thing they can spot in either picture to build up a vocabulary of its contents. What is the weather like in each picture? How have the artists depicted this? • The weather in Mané-Katz’s picture is extremely windy. • To suggest the force of the wind, the artist has painted the hull and the sails of the boat tilting at a sharp angle, with the front sail billowing, or perhaps flapping. • The frothy white waves and the grey and white sky behind the boat suggest stormy weather. • The weather in Segal’s picture is sunny and still. • The sky is blue. • The buildings are bathed in yellow sunlight. • The reflections are clear. Activities • Ask children to share ideas about how the sailors might be feeling in Mané-Katz’s painting. Are they lost at sea? Were they prepared for the storm or has it arrived suddenly? What has happened to their boat? What might happen next? What might the sailors be saying to one another? • Ask children to imagine that Segal’s scene is a holiday postcard they are going to send to a friend. -
Mass Culture and Individuality in Hermann Broch’S Late Works
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Sunderland University Institutional Repository MASS CULTURE AND INDIVIDUALITY IN HERMANN BROCH’S LATE WORKS JANET PEARSON A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Sunderland for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. APRIL 2015 i Abstract Mass Culture and Individuality in Hermann Broch’s Late Works Janet Pearson This thesis explores Hermann Broch’s thought regarding the relationship between the individual and the mass, in an age of mass-culture. Broch, an Austrian-Jewish intellectual, who emigrated to America in 1938, discussed ideas upon this theme in theoretical essays, including a theory of mass hysteria (Massenwahntheorie) as well as his fictional The Death of Virgil (Der Tod des Vergil). In the study, the analysis of his theoretical work shows that Broch’s views regarding the masses differ from those of other theorists contemporary to him (Le Bon, Freud and Canetti), in that they are closely linked to his theory of value. It also establishes that his ideas about individuality reach back to the earliest philosophers, and that he perceived this dimension of human existence to be changing, through the development of ‘ego- consciousness’. Building upon this, the textual analysis of the Virgil demonstrates that Broch finds similarities between his own era and the age of Augustus, but also indicates that the concept of individuality portrayed in the work goes beyond that discussed in his theoretical writing and points towards a new role for art in the post-industrial age. -

The Individual and the «Spiritual» World in Kafka's Novels Abstract Following an earlier essay by the same author on 'Perspektivismus und Parabolik' in Kafka's shorter prose pieces, this article gives a description of the structure of Kafka's novels in terms of the concepts 'the individual' (cf. Kierkegaard's 'individuals') and 'the spiritual world' (Kafka: «There is no world but the spiritual one»). Joseph K. and the land-surveyor K. become individuals by leaving the world of everyday life and passing over into the incomprehensible spiritual world of trials and a village-castle community, in the same way that Karl Rossmann had passed over into the 'Nature-theatre of Oklahoma' before them. And they remain as individuals, since in this world they struggle to hold their own. -

Franz Kafka's Transformations
Franz Kafka’s Transformations Andrew Barker ALONE amongst the contributions to the volume, this essay does not address a Scandinavian topic. The theme of transformation in Franz Kafka’s work and life does, however, allow us to recall that Peter Graves is himself a notable example of a changeling, having begun his career at Aberdeen University as a student of German under the venerable Professor Wilhelm (Willy) Witte. What is presented here may thus serve as a reminder of a world Peter inhabited long ago, before he morphed into the Scandinavian polymath we know and honour today. The impetus for the present contribution came from reading James Hawes’ exhilarating study Excavating Kafka (2008).1 This work was promptly written off by Klaus Wagenbach, the doyen of Kafka studies in Germany, who is quoted as saying: ‘Irgendein Dämel kommt daher, weiß nix und schreibt über Kafka’ (Jungen 2008).2 In defence of Wagenbach’s po-faced dismissal of a much younger, non-German scholar’s work, one might plead that his grasp of English was insufficient for him to grasp the book’s satirical and polemical intentions. In fact, Excavating Kafka is the work of a scholar who knows a great deal about Kafka, and writes about him with panache and insight. I can match Hawes neither in my knowledge of Kafka nor the secondary literature, but I share with him a mounting frustration with the commonly-peddled myths about Kafka’s life and work, and it is some of these which I shall address in this short paper. Looking at the work first, I shall concentrate on what is probably Kafka’s most iconic story, Die Verwandlung (1912; ‘Metamorphosis’), the English translation of whose title I find particularly problematic. -
Jews in Dada: Marcel Janco, Tristan Tzara, and Hans Richter
1 Jews in Dada: Marcel Janco, Tristan Tzara, and Hans Richter This lecture deals with three Jews who got together in Zurich in 1916. Two of them, Janco and Tzara, were high school friends in Romania; the third, Hans Richter, was German, and, probably unbeknown to them, also a Jew. I start with Janco and I wish to open on a personal note. The 'case' of Marcel Janco would best be epitomized by the somewhat fragmented and limited perspective from which, for a while, I was obliged to view his art. This experience has been shared, fully or in part, by my generation as well as by those closer to Janco's generation, Romanians, Europeans and Americans alike. Growing up in Israel in the 1950s and 60s, I knew Janco for what he was then – an Israeli artist. The founder of the artists' colony of Ein Hod, the teacher of an entire generation of young Israeli painters, he was so deeply rooted in the Israeli experience, so much part of our landscape, that it was inconceivable to see him as anything else but that. When I first started to read the literature of Dada and Surrealism, I was surprised to find a Marcel Janco portrayed as one of the originators of Dada. Was it the same Marcel Janco? Somehow I couldn't associate an art scene so removed from the mainstream of modern art – as I then unflatteringly perceived 2 the Israeli art scene – with the formidable Dada credentials ascribed to Janco. Later, in New York – this was in the early 1970s – I discovered that many of those well-versed in the history of Dada were aware of Marcel Janco the Dadaist but were rather ignorant about his later career. -
The Complete Stories
The Complete Stories by Franz Kafka a.b.e-book v3.0 / Notes at the end Back Cover : "An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic. numinous and prophetic." -- New York Times "The Complete Stories is an encyclopedia of our insecurities and our brave attempts to oppose them." -- Anatole Broyard Franz Kafka wrote continuously and furiously throughout his short and intensely lived life, but only allowed a fraction of his work to be published during his lifetime. Shortly before his death at the age of forty, he instructed Max Brod, his friend and literary executor, to burn all his remaining works of fiction. Fortunately, Brod disobeyed. Page 1 The Complete Stories brings together all of Kafka's stories, from the classic tales such as "The Metamorphosis," "In the Penal Colony" and "The Hunger Artist" to less-known, shorter pieces and fragments Brod released after Kafka's death; with the exception of his three novels, the whole of Kafka's narrative work is included in this volume. The remarkable depth and breadth of his brilliant and probing imagination become even more evident when these stories are seen as a whole. This edition also features a fascinating introduction by John Updike, a chronology of Kafka's life, and a selected bibliography of critical writings about Kafka.

Class Exercise: the Metamorphosis, by Franz Kafka and Expressionism
Class Exercise: The Metamorphosis, by Franz Kafka and Expressionism GW 2050 Jeanne Stauffer-Merle [Bracketed items are addressed to teachers; this site was originally created for the students.] [Students were already given a general background on Kafa's life and themes/interests.] [Difficulties for students with “The Metamorphosis”: 1. That Kafka chose to use this unrealistic device, forcing students to let go of their dependence on the rational. 2. That the image goes beyond symbolism, propelling the image of an interior state into an exterior reality; the difficulty here is that the image is both symbol and “real.” Gregor both is and is not (in the literal German translation) a monstrous vermin (ein ungeheueres Ungeziefer). Kafka gives this creature a vague name, "a monstrous vermin," to allude to its symbolic nature, yet describes the creature very realistically, reminding us that it is not just a traditional symbol, but a part of a concrete reality. Hopefully, after the end of this exercise, students begin to understand this dual nature of Gregor. The intent of this exercise, then, is to give students a tool for interpreting a text that not only moves sharply away from realism, but uses a paradoxical image.] [A way of introducing this concept is with Expressionistic painting, so students see the importance of this kind of image in "The Metamorphosis," as well as helping students to see connections between art and literature. I chose The Scream because it is of the same era as Kafka's work, is iconic and familiar to most students (although most students don't know what Munch is trying to express) and because The Scream so famous, it gives an added authenticity to using Expressionism.] Expressionism: Expression of an inner psychological state as a literal, physical condition. -

Y Joan Mira— Acreoientan Aun Mas El Valor De Este Monogrâflco, Bello Y Hecho Con Amor
y Joan Mira— acreoientan aun mas el valor de este monogrâflco, bello y hecho con amor. Al final quisiéramos formular aun dos observaciones y sugerencias respecto a las Obrcu complétât editadas por la oasa Aguilar. En la ûltima édition, nuevos datos apa- reoeri en la preoiosa section bibliogrâfica, 10 paginas en total, asoendiendo el numéro de paginas que forman dicha sesciôn a una cifra respetuosa de 85. Problemàtica queda, Bin embargo, la parte que reooge datos bibliogrâfioo* de las traduociones de las obras de Lorca. Las listas, por distintas lenguas, nunoa pueden ni deben ser exhaustives, pero si deberian ser représentatives, reoogiendo lo de mayor importancia en los distintos ambitos idiomaticos. Huelga decir que para lograr este objetivo séria indispensable una amplia oolaboracidn international.9 Otra eosa que queriamoa sugerir nos parece aun mas urgente. Desde haoe aiios las Obras complétas editadas por la casa Aguilar sirven no solo a vastas oapos de leotores como instrumento de oultura y de conocimiento de la obra de Federico Garofa Lorca, sino también a los investigadores oomo valioso instru mento de trabajo — reiteramos nuestro agradeoimiento a Arturo del Hoyo— de uso gênerai. Como los investigadores trabajan con distintas edioiones de pagination dife- rente, a veoes eues ta trabajo hallar el lugar del texto que indican las referentias en sus estudios. A este respecto séria de gran utiîidad agregar en suplemento un indice gênerai que indicara las diferencias en la paginaciôn de las distintaa edioiones de las Obras cada vez mas Complétas de Federico Garcia Lorca.
