  • Goethe's Faust, Keller's Romeo Und Julia Auf Dem
    Modernity’s Pact with the Devil: Goethe’s Faust, Keller’s Romeo und Julia auf dem Dorfe, and Storm’s Der Schimmelreiter as Tales of Forgetting Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Dennis Schaefer, B.A. Graduate Program in Germanic Languages and Literatures The Ohio State University 2018 Thesis committee: Robert C. Holub, Adviser John E. Davidson Copyright by Dennis Schaefer 2018 Abstract In this MA thesis, I argue that the deal with the devil, as it manifests in 19th century German literary texts like Johann Wolfgang Goethe’s Faust: Eine Tragödie, Gottfried Keller’s Romeo und Julia auf dem Dorfe, and Theodor Storm’s Der Schimmelreiter, negotiates the experience of modernity and mediates the experience thereof through offering moments of forgetting. Upon approaching modernity with help from Jürgen Habermas, Friedrich Nietzsche and Karl Marx, the thesis explores the existential importance of Glück and forgetting according to Nietzsche’s second Untimely Meditation, Vom Nutzen und Nachteil der Historie fürs Leben. Subsequently, I posit that the deal with the devil, as an explicit component and, later on, implicit undercurrent of 19th century German texts, takes on the role of facilitator of moments of such forgetting. Goethe’s masterpiece Faust lays the foundation for this conflux of developments, motifs, and experiences in the wager its protagonists strikes with the devil Mephistopheles and in the various escapades that take Faust out of the Gothic halls of the university to the changing feudal world, where he encounters his lover Gretchen.

  • RDA: Resource Description and Access: Chapter: 6: Identifying
    IDENTIFYING WORKS AND EXPRESSIONS 6.0 6 IDENTIFYING WORKS AND EXPRESSIONS 6.0 Purpose and Scope This chapter provides general guidelines and instructions on: a) choosing preferred titles for works (see 6.2.2) b) recording preferred and variant titles for works (see 6.2) c) recording other identifying attributes of the work or expression (see 6.3 – 6.13) d) constructing authorized access points representing the work or expression (see 6.27.1 – 6.27.3) e) constructing variant access points representing the work or expression (see 6.27.4). The chapter provides guidelines on recording titles and other identifying attributes as separate elements, as parts of access points, or as both. In addition to the general guidelines, the chapter provides instructions on recording preferred and variant titles and other identifying attributes for special types of works and their expressions: musical works (see 6.14 – 6.18) legal works (see 6.19 – 6.22) religious works (see 6.23 – 6.25) official communications (see 6.26). The preferred title for the work is used to construct the authorized access point. The variant title or titles for the work are used to construct variant access points. Other identifying attributes of the work and/or expression may also be included in the access point (see 6.27). Authorized access points representing works and expressions can be used for different purposes. They provide the means for: a) bringing together all descriptions of resources embodying a work when various manifestations have appeared under various titles b) identifying a work when the title by which it is known differs from the title proper of the resource being described c) differentiating between two or more works with the same title d) organizing hierarchical displays of descriptions for resources embodying different expressions of a work e) recording a relationship to a related work (see chapter 25) or a related expression (see chapter 26).

"Wir Haben Keine Mythologie": Dante's Commedia and the Poetics of Early German Romanticism Abstract This dissertation reinterprets the German Romantics' project of writing a new mythology by arguing that the project's theoretical and poetic contours, as they emerge around 1800, owe to the Romantic engagement with Dante and his Commedia. Positioning the neue Mythologie vis-à -vis mythographical discourses of the Enlightenment, I begin by showing how A.W. Schlegel's scholarship on Dante in the early to mid 1790s endorses the Commedia as the preeminent symbolic work of Romantic poetry, which in turn grounds Friedrich Schlegel's theorization of the Commedia as a work of universal symbolic value in the mid to late 1790s. Friedrich Schlegel's activity culminates in the Rede über die Mythologie, in which he, having defined the new mythology as a symbolic instantiation of absolute idealism, asserts that any new mythology would necessarily assume the form of the Commedia.
