Tracing the Chains of Thought in the Aphoristic Writing of Ludwig Hohl TRACING THE CHAINS OF THOUGHT IN THE APHORISTIC WRITING OF LUDWIG HOHL (WITH REFERENCE TO SEVERAL ASPECTS OF THE APHORISTIC WRITING OF FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE AND PETER HANDKE) by ALEXANDRA SATTLER A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of German Studies School of Languages, Cultures, Art History, and Music College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham January 2016 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis investigates the use of aphorism in the work (Notizenwerk) of Ludwig Hohl and selected passages of Friedrich Nietzsche and Peter Handke in order to demonstrate the connections (Zusammenhänge) between aphorisms, taking seriously what aphoristic writers say about their own work, i.e. that aphorisms are the result of long secret chains of thought (Nietzsche). The study thereby addresses a gap in the research identified by Neumann. Concurring with Fedler, this thesis understands aphorism as combining conceptual with metaphorical (non-conceptual) thought and chains of thought are investigated on different levels. The dissertation illustrates that aphoristic writers dissolve conceptual boundaries and have elaborate concepts of phantasy (Phantasie), confirming Blumenberg’s view that wherever the conceptual is questioned, phantasy will be re-evaluated. In the course of this, Kassner’s influence on Hohl and Hohl’s influence on Handke will be shown. With the help of Begriffsgeschichte the thesis will demonstrate unity underlying Hohl’s Notizen, that aphorisms are capable of expressing a complex life-affirming theory, and that furthermore the aphorism cannot be understood without an existential, ineffable and personal dimension. An ontological fragmentariness underlies aphoristic writing, meaning that there is no opposition between aphorism and fragment and that instead aphorisms are inherently fragmentary. DEDICATION To R.W.K. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am grateful to Dr Nigel Harris (University of Birmingham) and Professor Bill Dodd (University of Birmingham) for supervising of this thesis. To write this thesis would have been far harder without the generosity and support of Stephen Mitchelmore, Dr Herman Siemens (Leiden University) and the NHS. I am also indebted to Professor Scott Abbott’s (Utah Valley University) generous advice on Peter Handke and to Dr Rainer Marwedel (Hannover) for many early conversations about Hohl.

  • The Sun of Words
    The Sun of Words Excerpts from Aber ich lebe nur von den Zwischenräumen, an interview between Herbert Gamper and Peter Handke Wednesday April 9th to Saturday April 12th, 1986 On the morning of April 9th, 1986, it was an unusually warm day with the föhn wind blowing, and I met Peter Handke in front of the house where he was living on the Mönchsberg. He first lead me up to the tower, from where one can see down to the southern parts of Salzburg, over the plains and towards the mountains (the Untersberg and the Staufen). I asked him about the Morzger forest, whose southern extremities were visible, and about the nearby area where Loser, the protagonist of Across, lived. He asked whether these settings interested me, and this was what determined the first question I asked after we had gone down to sit at the small table by the well, in the tree-shadows, and I had taken the final, inevitable step, so that the game could begin, and switched on the tape recorder. We regretted that the singing of the chaffinches and the titmice would not be transcribed to paper; again and again it seemed to me ridiculous to pose a question in the middle of this concert. I told of a visit with Thomas Bernhard, many years ago, when, without my asking, he showed me the offices of the lawyer Moro (from the story Ungenach) in Gmunden, as well as the fallen trees infested with bark beetles at the edge of his land that had been reimagined as the General’s forest from the play Die Jagdgesellschaft.

    STRUCTURE AND GESTALT LINGUISTIC & LITERARY STUDIES IN EASTERN EUROPE (LLSEE) The emphasis of this scholarly series is on recent developments in Linguistic and Literary Research in Eastern Europe; it includes analyses, translations and syntheses of current research as well as studies in the history of linguistic and literary scholarship. Founding Editor: John Odmark t Volume 7 edited by Barry Smith Structure and Gestalt: Philosophy and literature in Austria-Hungary and her successor states STRUCTURE AND GESTALT : Philosophy and Literature in Austria-Hungary and her successor states edited by BARRY SMITH University of Manchester AMSTERDAM / JOHN BENJAMINS B.V. 1981 ©Copyright 1981 — John Benjamins B.V. ISSN 0165 7712 / ISBN 90 272 1510 3 No part of this book may be reproduced in any form, by print, photoprint, microfilm or any other means, without written permission from the publisher. PREFACE The majority of the papers in the present volume were presented at, or prepared in conjunction with, meetings of the Seminar for Austro-German Philosophy, a group of philosophers interested in the work of Brentano and Husserl and of the various thinkers who fell under their influence. One long-standing concern of the Seminar has been to trace the origins of present-day structuralism and related move­ ments in the thought of nineteenth-century central Europe. This task has been admirably performed by Elmar Holenstein for the specific connections between Husserl and Jakobson and the Moscow and Prague Linguistic Circles (see the bibliography to Holenstein's paper below). But the (broadly) structuralist currents exhibited in, for example, the work of Meinong's Grazer Schule and, before that, in the writings of Herbart, Bolzano and Zimmermann, in the early psycho­ logical writings of Ehrenfels, or in the works of Austrian economists and political theorists, art historians and novelists, have remained almost wholly unexplored.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. Thefollowing explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page ($)''. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. Whan an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that die photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You w ill find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections w ith a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Literary History Places Elfriede Jelinek at the Head of a Generation Deemed
    COMEDY, COLLUSION, AND EXCLUSION ELFRIEDE JELINEK AND FRANZ NOVOTNY’S DIE AUSGE- SPERRTEN Literary history places Elfriede Jelinek at the head of a generation deemed to have made the transition from ‘High Priests to Desecrators’,1 reigning as the ‘Nestbeschmutzer’ par excellence. Along with Peter Handke and Thomas Bernhard, she is considered to have introduced an element of dissent into Austrian public discourse, ‘stubbornly occupying a position of difference from within a largely homogeneous cultural sphere’.2 Dagmar Lorenz argues that this level of political engagement is a phenomenon specific to German- language writers and appears inconceivable to an Anglo-American audience. In a special issue of New German Critique on the socio-political role of Aus- trian authors, she notes that ‘their opinions are heard and taken seriously, and they take part in shaping public opinion and politics’.3 The writers’ sphere of influence far exceeds their (often limited) readership, and column inches dedicated to controversial Austrian intellectuals stretch beyond the confines of the ‘Feuilleton’.4 The very public oppositional role of authors such as Jelinek, Robert Me- nasse and Doron Rabinovici reached fever pitch in 1999/2000 following the establishment of the ‘schwarz-blaue Koalition’, which enabled Jörg Haider’s populist right-wing ‘Freedom Party’ (FPÖ) to form a government with the centre-right ÖVP. In the months following the election, large groups of pro- testers took to the streets of Vienna as part of the so-called ‘Thursday dem- onstrations’. Austrian intellectuals played a prominent role in these protests, standing visibly at the head of the demonstrations and giving expression to wider discontent in a series of public readings and speeches, including Jelinek’s ‘Haider-monologue’, Das Lebewohl, which was first performed out- side the Viennese Burgtheater on 22nd June 2000.5 The play’s emphasis on 1 Ricarda Schmidt and Moray McGowan (eds), From High Priests to Desecrators: Contempo- rary Austrian Writers (Sheffield: Sheffield Academic Press, 1993).

  • Revising the World with Speech in Franz Kafka, Robert Walser and Thomas Bernhard

(Minor Member) MONOLOGUE OVERGROWN: REVISING THE WORLD WITH SPEECH IN FRANZ KAFKA, ROBERT WALSER AND THOMAS BERNHARD A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Paul Joseph Buchholz August 2010 © 2010 Paul Joseph Buchholz MONOLOGUE OVERGROWN: REVISING THE WORLD WITH SPEECH IN FRANZ KAFKA, ROBERT WALSER AND THOMAS BERNHARD Paul Joseph Buchholz, Ph. D. Cornell University 2010 My dissertation focuses on unstable, chronically unpublished prose texts by three key 20th century prose writers, quasi-novelistic texts whose material instability indicates a deep discomfort with the establishment of narrative authority qua narrative violence. I argue that Franz Kafka, Robert Walser and Thomas Bernhard, radically refunctionalized the device of interpolated “character monologue,” turning characters' speech from a narrative function, into a site where a text can be rewritten from within. In the Bildungsroman tradition, extended oral interpolations serve as an engine for the expansion and exposition of the plotted work, deepening the epic narrative world and exhaustively presenting a perspective that will be incorporated into biographical trajectory. I locate an estrangement of this practice: moments when oral monologues of fictional interlocutors “overgrow,” becoming an interventionary force that doubles, disrupts and re-frames the narrative discourse out of which it first sprouted. In showing how the labor of ‘world-making’ is split and spread across different competing layers of these texts, my dissertation contributes to the study of the narrative phenomenon of metalepsis.

  • Ernst Toller - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Ernst Toller - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Ernst Toller(1 December 1893 – 22 May 1939) Ernst Toller was a left-wing German playwright, best known for his Expressionist plays and serving as President of the short-lived Bavarian Soviet Republic, for six days. <b>Biography</b> Ernst Toller was born in Samotschin, Poland, on 1st December 1893. His father was a successful Jewish wholesale merchant. He was schooled in Bromberg where depsite describing it as a "school of miseducation and militarization", he was able to begin his literary career with the publication of a number of articles in the local newspaper and then poetry. In 1914 Toller moved to France in order to study law at the University of Grenoble. However, within six months the onset of the First World War meant he had returned home and signed up for the German army. Within a year he was fighting on the front lines, but by 1916 he was taken ill, suffering from "physical exhaustion and a complete nervous breakdown". In January 1917, now lacking his initial enthusiasm for the war and instead shocked by the high level of carnage, he was discharged from the army. Following this, Toller moved to Munich to return to his studies at Heidelberg University. Here he became friends with sociologist Max Weber. In May 1917 the pair took part in the first "Lauensteiner conference", where they cordially disagreed about the course of the war. Whilst Weber argued for the continuation of the war, Toller favoured a negotiated peace.

  • Frankfurt Dersleri1
    Diyalog 2020/ 2: 448-452 (Book Review) Edebiyat Kuramı İçin Vazgeçilmez Kaynak Metinler: Frankfurt Dersleri1 Davut Dağabakan , Ağrı Bir ulusun, bir milletin gelişmesinde fen bilimlerinin olduğu kadar sosyal bilimlerin de önemi büyüktür. Sosyal bilimlere değer vermeyen ülkelerin fen bilimlerinde de gelişim gösteremedikleri görülür. Bu bağlamda sivilize olmuş bir uygarlık, gelişmiş bir toplum düzeyi için edebiyata, felsefeye, sosyolojiye, psikoloji ve antropolojiye değer verilmelidir. Sosyal bilimlerin teorisine, kuramsal çalışmalara, kavram icadına ve anadilde kavram oluşturmaya da dikkat edilmelidir. Söz konusu olan edebiyatsa, sadece şiir yazmaya, edebi ürünler oluşturmaya değil de işin estetik boyutu sayılan poetikaya da değer verilmelidir. Alman edebiyatı Türk edebiyatına binaen edebiyatın ya da başka sosyal bilimlerin estetiğini ve poetikasını şekillendirme bakımından çok erken dönemlerde uyanışını gerçekleştirmiştir. Edebiyat kuramı bakımından durumu değerlendirecek olursak Barok döneminde yaşamış Martin Opitz’in „Das Buch von der Deutschen Poeterey“ adlı şiir kuramı ve poetik metni Türk poetikalarından, daha doğrusu sistematik poetikasından beş yüz sene daha önce yazılmıştır. Bu bilinçlenme, bir uygarlığın sadece edebi eserlerle ilgilenmesini değil de edebi eylemin estetiğini ve poetikasını sistematik bir şekilde gerçekleştirme ahlakını da sunar o millete. Bu da her tür sosyal bilimler alanında derinlikli düşünmeyi sağlar. Sadece edebiyatın bir alt dalı olan şiir kuramı alanında değil, örneğin mimarinin poetikasında ya da bir çayın, kahvenin, bir mekânın poetikasında eşyaya nüfuz ve olgulara derinlikli bakma kudreti de böylelikle bu tür eserlerle sağlanmış olur. Erken başlayan Alman poetikası eylemleri çağlar boyu sistematik poetikalarla devam etmiş son asırda Goethe Üniversitesi, Frankfurt’ta 1959 yılında edebiyata, edebiyatın sorunlarına ve gelişimine ilgi duyacak öğrencilere (öğrenciler indinde aslında herkese) bir imkân sunmak amacıyla Frankfurt Dersleri’ni başlatmıştır.

We have moved, we suppose, beyond grappling with the Heidegger of Being and Time . And we also tend to suppose a fairly regular recurrence of scandal—the current instantiation infl amed by the recent publication of Heidegger’s private, philosophical, Tagebücher, invokes what the editor of these recently published ‘black notebooks’ attempts to distinguish as Heidegger’s ‘historial antisemitism’ — ‘historial’ here serving to identify Heidegger’s references to World Jewry in one of the volumes.
