  • 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.

  • Poetry, Poetics and the Spiritual Life
    Theological Trends POETRY, POETICS AND THE SPIRITUAL LIFE Robert E. Doud Y THOUGHTS HERE have mostly to do with appreciating the M dynamics of theology and spirituality as analogous to the dynamics of poetry. They flow from meditations on the poetic ideas of the philosopher Martin Heidegger (1889–1976), and they reflect some aspects of the theology of Karl Rahner (1904–1984) as well. Poetics is the theory of poetry; and it is connected with philosophical issues concerning language, expression and communication as basic prerogatives and possibilities of human beings. For Heidegger, poetry is not a late-emerging use of language to embellish direct expression, but rather constitutes the original basis of language in the way humans complete the natural world by giving things names and descriptions. Heidegger saw poetic or meditative thought as the chief prerogative of the human mind and the chief means of finding and achieving fulfilment for human beings. But Heidegger also perceived that the prevailing values of the modern world were inimical to this fulfilment. Exploring the implications of a poem or of a verse in scripture may seem to be a waste of time in a culture where material needs compete urgently for time with spiritual rest and growth. Parents need to build a home and acquire temporal goods, while managers need to hire efficient people, keep down costs and show profits. Moreover we live in a time when the reality of technology needs continuously to be faced and evaluated. The use of technology is advancing, and while it brings progress and success, it also threatens to take the control of many things out of the hands of human beings, who ought to be free to write their own destiny.

Prose narratives about artists and their creative work show the balancing act between an idealized outlook and representing em- pirical reality.

  • Georg Trakl - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Georg Trakl - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Georg Trakl(3 February 1887 - 3 November 1914) Georg Trakl was an Austrian poet. He is considered one of the most important Austrian Expressionists. <b>Life and Work</b> Trakl was born and lived the first 18 years of his life in Salzburg, Austria. His father, Tobias Trakl (11 June 1837, Ödenburg/Sopron – 1910), was a dealer of hardware from Hungary, while his mother, Maria Catharina Halik (17 May 1852, Wiener Neustadt – 1925), was a housewife of Czech descent with strong interests in art and music. Trakl attended a Catholic elementary school, although his parents were Protestants. He matriculated in 1897 at the Salzburg Staatsgymnasium, where he studied Latin, Greek, and mathematics. At age 13, Trakl began to write poetry. As a high school student, he began visiting brothels, where he enjoyed giving rambling monologues to the aging prostitutes. At age 15, he began drinking alcohol, and using opium, chloroform, and other drugs. By the time he was forced to quit school in 1905, he was a drug addict. Many critics think that Trakl suffered from undiagnosed schizophrenia. After quitting high school, Trakl worked for a pharmacist for three years and decided to adopt pharmacy as a career. It was during this time that he experimented with playwriting, but his two short plays, All Souls' Day and Fata Morgana, were not successful. In 1908, Trakl moved to Vienna to study pharmacy, and became acquainted with some local artists who helped him publish some of his poems.
