    Mind-Crafting: Anticipatory Critique of Transhumanist Mind-Uploading in German High Modernist Novels Nathan Jensen Bates A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2018 Reading Committee: Richard Block, Chair Sabine Wilke Ellwood Wiggins Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Germanics ©Copyright 2018 Nathan Jensen Bates University of Washington Abstract Mind-Crafting: Anticipatory Critique of Transhumanist Mind-Uploading in German High Modernist Novels Nathan Jensen Bates Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Richard Block Germanics This dissertation explores the question of how German modernist novels anticipate and critique the transhumanist theory of mind-uploading in an attempt to avert binary thinking. German modernist novels simulate the mind and expose the indistinct limits of that simulation. Simulation is understood in this study as defined by Jean Baudrillard in Simulacra and Simulation. The novels discussed in this work include Thomas Mann’s Der Zauberberg; Hermann Broch’s Die Schlafwandler; Alfred Döblin’s Berlin Alexanderplatz: Die Geschichte von Franz Biberkopf; and, in the conclusion, Irmgard Keun’s Das Kunstseidene Mädchen is offered as a field of future inquiry. These primary sources disclose at least three aspects of the mind that are resistant to discrete articulation; that is, the uploading or extraction of the mind into a foreign context. A fourth is proposed, but only provisionally, in the conclusion of this work. The aspects resistant to uploading are defined and discussed as situatedness, plurality, and adaptability to ambiguity. Each of these aspects relates to one of the three steps of mind- uploading summarized in Nick Bostrom’s treatment of the subject.

  • Ut Pictora Poesis Hermann Hesse As a Poet and Painter
    © HHP & C.I.Schneider, 1998 Posted 5/22/98 GG Ut Pictora Poesis Hermann Hesse as a Poet and Painter by Christian Immo Schneider Central Washington University Ellensburg, WA, U.S.A. Hermann Hesse stands in the international tradition of writers who are capable of expressing themselves in several arts. To be sure, he became famous first of all for his lyrical poetry and prose. How- ever, his thought and language is thoroughly permeated from his ear- liest to his last works with a profound sense of music. Great art- ists possess the specific gift of shifting their creative power from one to another medium. Therefore, it seems to be quite natural that Hesse, when he had reached a stage in his self-development which ne- cessitated both revitalization and enrichment of the art in which he had thus excelled, turned to painting as a means of the self expres- sion he had not yet experienced. "… one day I discovered an entirely new joy. Suddenly, at the age of forty, I began to paint. Not that I considered myself a painter or intended to become one. But painting is marvelous; it makes you happier and more patient. Af- terwards you do not have black fingers as with writing, but red and blue ones." (I,56) When Hesse began painting around 1917, he stood on the threshold of his most prolific period of creativity. This commenced with Demian and continued for more than a decade with such literary masterpieces as Klein und Wagner, Siddhartha, Kurgast up to Der Steppenwolf and beyond.

  • Modernism, Fiction and Mathematics
    MODERNISM, FICTION AND MATHEMATICS JOHANN A. MAKOWSKY July 15, 2019 Review of: Nina Engelhardt, Modernism, Fiction and Mathematics, Edinburgh Critical Studies in Modernist Culture, Edinburgh University Press, Published June 2018 (Hardback), November 2019 (Paperback) ISBN Paperback: 9781474454841, Hardback: 9781474416238 1. The Book Under Review Nina Engelhardt's book is a study of four novels by three authors, Hermann Broch's trilogy The Sleepwalkers [2, 3], Robert Musil's The Man without Qualities [21, 23, 24], and Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow and Against the Day [27, 28]. Her choice of authors and their novels is motivated by the impact the mathe- matics of the interwar period had on their writing fiction. It is customary in the humanities to describe the cultural ambiance of the interwar period between World War I and World War II as modernism. Hence the title of Engelhardt's book: Mod- ernism, Mathematics and Fiction. Broch and Musil are indeed modernist authors par excellence. Pynchon is a contemporary American author, usually classified by the literary experts as postmodern. arXiv:1907.05787v1 [math.HO] 12 Jul 2019 Hermann Broch in 1909 Robert Musil in 1900 1 2 JOHANN A. MAKOWSKY Thomas Pynchon ca. 1957 Works produced by employees of the United States federal government in the scope of their employment are public domain by statute. Engelhard's book is interesting for the literary minded mathematician for two reasons: First of all it draws attention to three authors who spent a lot of time and thoughts in studying the mathematics of the interwar period and used this experience in the shaping of their respective novels.

  • JGCD 0019 Flagstad BOOKLET.Cdr
    Kirsten Flagstad Kirsten Flagstad in Concert Kirsten Flagstad was born in Hamar (Norway) on 12 July 1895. At the age of eighteen she made her debut in Eugen d’Albert’s »Tiefland« at the National Richard Strauss Theatre of Oslo. Until 1928 Flagstad sang in a mixture of opera and operetta Four Last Songs performances and attempted her first Wagnerian roles. Elsa and Eva, as well as Aida, Mimi and Tosca. In 1932 she sang Isolde at the Oslo National Theatre Wilhelm Furtwängler and her success in the role prompted a summons from Bayreuth. In 1934 World Premiere Flagstad sang Sieglinde and Gutrune at the Festspielhaus. London, 22.05.1950 Gatti-Gasazza, looking to replace Frida Leider, signed Flagstad for, what turned out to be, her spectacular debut as Sieglinde at the Met for the 1935 season. It was soon apparent that she was to become a first-rank Wagner Richard Strauss interpreter and her international career flourished until her retirement in 1957. Three Songs The inclusion of the Strauss songs are of particular interest as they lie out of her San Francisco, 08.10.1950 usual recorded repertoire. Strauss was a composer she dearly loved (therefore we have included the »Desert Island« interview). And she presented the world Richard Wagner premier performance of the »Four Last Songs« at the Albert Hall under Furtwängler 1950. Arias & Duets This important premiere recording is also on this disc, even inspite of the bad with Set Svanholm sound. We do hope that you accept this release, too. As the performance is of San Francisco, 09.10.1949 such great interest we decided to put it on this disc, too - even if it is our credo only to release historical recordings with the best possible sound and sources.

  • About Music, Philosophy and Science
    JAGNA DANKOWSKA (Warszawa) About music, philosophy and science... ABSTRACT: The text attempts to answer the question whether musicians need a phi­ losophy of music. The answer to the question of what music contributes to philosophy - a question superordinate in relation to the investigations of the links between phi­ losophy and music - can be formulated clearly, since we find it in the texts of the most prominent representatives of European philosophical thought, including Schopen­ hauer, whose ideas are discussed in the paper. These issues are also discussed in lit­ erature which explores philosophical issues, by such classics of the genre as Thomas Mann and Herman Hesse, whose profound descriptions bring us closer to an under­ standing of that which music does directly, by expressing spheres beyond words that cannot be expressed otherwise than through music. Karl Popper regards polyphony as the greatest discovery of European culture, and provides evidence of the closeness of science and philosophy. These three levels of approaching the relationship between philosophy and music lead to demonstrating the axiological essence of music, revealed by performers, who make it possible for music to exist to the full in its sonority, un­ veiling its metaphysical perfection to its listeners. KEYWORDS: philosophy of music, subjectivism, objectivism, authenticity, perfection, mass culture, higher values. The works of Albert Einstein and Thomas Mann, representing some of the greatest achievements of science and art, are rooted in a signifi­ cant trend of European thought, which examines the links between music and philosophy. This association, which originated in ancient Greece, has accom­ panied reflection on music and philosophy for more than two and a half thou­ sand years.

This year’s subject is the Weimar Republic, which stretches from the end of the First World War through the Golden Twenties and the Great Depression to the beginning of the Nazi dictatorship with Hitler's seizure of power, being one of the most prolific artistic phases of German literary and cultural history. Literature, theatre, painting, architecture experienced in their various stylistic characteristics (expressionism, avant-garde, the so called New Objectivity) fresh artistic impulses. Press, radio, film, vaudeville and cabaret laid the foundations for a new mass culture, which experienced an unexpected upswing, especially in the German capital Berlin, which Alfred Döblin set a lasting memorial to with his big-city novel "Berlin Alexanderplatz" (1929).

  • Art in Time of War: Towards a Contemporary Aesthetic
    2 Jonathan Dollimore Art in time of war: towards a contemporary aesthetic In times of war In September 1914 an agonised Hermann Hesse writes of how war is destroying the foundations of Europe’s precious cultural heritage, and thereby the future of civilisa- tion itself. Hesse stands proudly for what he calls a ‘supranational’ tradition of human culture, intrinsic to which are ideals essentially humanitarian: an ‘international world of thought, of inner freedom, of intellectual conscience’ and a belief in ‘an artistic beauty cutting across national boundaries’.1 Even in the depths of war, insists Hesse, a German should be able to prefer a good English book to a bad German one. Three years later he writes along similar lines to a government minister telling him that he would be a more humane leader in this time of conflict were he to read ‘the great authors’ and listen to great composers like Beethoven.2 Much later (1946) Hesse comments as follows on these and other similar writings: When I call [them] ‘political’ it is always in quotes, for there is nothing political about them but the atmosphere in which they came into being. In all other respects they are the opposite of political, because in each one of these essays I strive to guide the reader not into the world theatre with its political problems but into his innermost being, before the judgement seat of his very personal conscience. In this I am at odds with the political thinkers of all trends, and I shall always, incorrigibly, recognize in man, in the individual and his soul, the existence of realms to which political impulses and forms do not extend.3 Here is an uncompromising expression of that spiritual, essentialist individualism which underpinned Hesse’s equally uncompromising universal humanism.

  • Reflections on Thomas Mann's Der Zauberberg and Hermann Hesse's Der Steppenwolf
    Martin Swales New Media, Virtual Reality, Flawed Utopia? Reflections on Thomas Mann’s Der Zauberberg and Hermann Hesse’s Der Steppenwolf Concentrating specifically on Der Steppenwolf, this paper analyses the novel as a narrative that can rightly claim a place alongside German novels of high modernism by authors such as Thomas Mann, Alfred Döblin and Robert Musil. Several remarkable parallels with Der Zauberberg are noted. Der Steppenwolf as a work of fiction may be less well constructed than Siddhartha and Narziss und Goldmund, but nor does it offer easy, schematic solutions to the issues that preoccupied Germany’s modernist writers. It is pervaded by a deep sense of cultural crisis, by a no less intense self-consciousness, and by the perception that only a utopian resolution can counter the malaise of the present. It takes an extremely detailed look at the effects of a culture that had its origins in the 1920s, with its shallow enthusiasm for the cin- ema, the radio and gramophone. What distinguishes Hesse from the cultural pes- simists of his time is that the novel presents not so much a lamentation of the cultural losses necessitated by this process, but endeavours to diagnose the ills of the present and struggles to find a means of validating the new experiences as a redemptive form of virtual living. The German novel of the 18th and 19th centuries is something of a Cinderella who is very rarely to be seen at the European literary ball – that ball that is so full of lively texts that in one way or another enshrine and exemplify European realism.

Translations by Sofia Bach unless otherwise indicated. ii Abstract The German-born Nobel-Laureate author Hermann Hesse enjoyed three major waves of popularity in the twentieth century. The first surge in reception took place in the Weimar Republic following the Great War. The second, arose mostly in Germany during the period of Nazi rule and just after the Second World War. Finally, the third surge happened in the 1960s and 1970s, when Hesse reached a large readership at the time of the American Counterculture movement. In all these receptions, Hesse’s novels were seen as guides to help navigate crises in western civilisation. The resolutions offered in Hesse’s novels, particularly Demian, Siddhartha, Steppenwolf and The Indian Life (the appendix to The Glass Bead Game) are either anchored in a narrative Orient, or influenced by Vendānta and Buddhist philosophies.
