Identität scheint weniger eine Frage des Innen als vielmehr des Außen zu sein, we- niger eine Frage der Substanz als der Performanz, der wirkungsmächtigen Selbst- darstellung, der Schauspielerei. Diese Kunst der Inszenierung wurde schon früher kritisch beobachtet – von den streitbaren Vertretern der bürgerlichen Aufklärung und des Idealismus an den Repräsentanten der höfisch-aristokratischen Kultur. Kleists Position hier ist zwiespältig: Einerseits wird er von seinen Lehrern bürger- lich-idealistisch erzogen und teilt deren Hoffnung auf authentischen Selbstaus- druck und die Kongruenz von Ethik und Ästhetik, andererseits entstammt er einem alten Adelsgeschlecht und kennt die Zeremonialkultur, die Kunst der Simulation und Dissimulation, was ihn zu einem enttäuschten Idealisten bzw. skeptischen Mo- ralisten macht. ›Kleist(s)Inszenierungen‹ war deshalb ein spannendes Thema für die Jahresta- gung der Heinrich-von-Kleist-Gesellschaft, die im Oktober 2000 in der Akademie der Künste in Berlin stattfand. Das ›s‹ im Tagungstitel steht in Klammern. Denkt man es mit, so richtet sich das Interesse auf Inszenierungskünste in Kleists Leben und Werk, auf Dramaturgien der Selbstdarstellung bei Kleist und seinen Figuren, auf Rollenspiele im Realen wie im Fiktionalen, auf das Verhältnis von Identität und Theatralität. Läßt man es weg, so richtet sich das Interesse auf die Inszenierung von Kleists Dichtungen, auf Kleists Theaterkonzeption sowie historische und aktuelle Formen von Kleist-Inszenierungen. Damit sind die Erkenntnisinteressen der Ta- gungsreferate benannt, die in diesem Jahrbuch publiziert werden. Dokumentiert werden hier außerdem die Reden anläßlich der Verleihung des Kleist-Preises 2000 an die Schriftstellerin Barbara Honigmann. Gedankt werden darf den zuständigen Ministerien des Bundes und der Länder Berlin und Brandenburg für die Förderung des Kleist-Jahrbuches, Erika Fischer- Lichte für die tatkräftige Hilfe bei der Gestaltung des Tagungsprogramms, den Mit- herausgebern Klaus Müller-Salget und Sabine Doering für die Einrichtung des Re- zensionsteils und vor allem Ingo Breuer für die Redaktion des Kleist-Jahrbuches. Günter Blamberger VII VIII VERLEIHUNG DES KLEIST-PREISES 2000 2 GÜNTER BLAMBERGER REDE ZUR VERLEIHUNG DES KLEIST-PREISES AN BARBARA HONIGMANN IM DEUTSCHEN THEATER IN BERLIN AM 14.10.2000 Sehr geehrter Herr Senator, sehr geehrter Herr Intendant, sehr geehrter Herr Bondy, sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, sehr verehrte, liebe Frau Honigmann, am 13. November 1911 erscheint im ›Berliner Tageblatt‹ ein Artikel zu Kleists hun- dertstem Todestag, der Autor ist Fritz Engel, ein deutscher Bürger jüdischer Her- kunft, er ruft dazu auf, eine Kleist-Stiftung zu gründen und im Gedenken an den unglücklichen Dichter einen Preis zu verleihen, der jungen deutschen Autoren die Anerkennung verschafft, die Kleist zeit seines Lebens versagt blieb. Den Aufruf un- terzeichnen u.a. Otto Brahm, Paul Cassirer, Samuel Fischer, Walter Rathenau, Max Reinhardt, Arthur Schnitzler. Der Kleist-Preis verdankt seine Existenz in der Hauptsache deutschen Juden, in ideeller Hinsicht wie auch in materieller, denn die Fördergelder stammen zum Großteil vom S. Fischer-Verlag. Ausgezeichnet werden in den zehner und zwanziger Jahren Arnold Zweig, Paul Zech, Hans Henny Jahnn, Bert Brecht, Robert Musil oder Anna Seghers. Der Kleist-Preis gilt als der bedeu- tendste Literaturpreis in der Weimarer Republik, er wird zu einer ›Dokumenta der Avantgarde‹. In der Berufung auf Kleist, den auf die Empirie verpflichteten Skepti- ker, der so radikal mit der Tradition der bürgerlich-idealistischen Kunst gebrochen hatte, verschafft sich die Moderne selbst eine Tradition. Else Lasker-Schüler heißt die Preisträgerin 1932. Ein Jahr später ist es mit der liberalen Hauptstadtkultur und der intellektuellen Freiheit vorbei, die neuen Machthaber versprechen, die »jüdi- sche Kleist-Stiftung« zu ordnen, was nicht mehr geschieht, denn diese hat sich auf- gelöst und damit verhindert, daß der »hochangesehene Kleistpreis hinfort an Un- würdige fiel« (Walter Müller-Seidel). Der gute Name des Kleist-Preises blieb damit bewahrt. Wäre er 1933 noch einmal vergeben

The Epistemic Advantage of Self-Analysis for Cultural-Historical Insights: The variants of Warburg’s manuscripts on his Indian Journey A vantagem epistêmica da autoanálise para insights histórico-culturais: as variantes dos manuscritos de Warburg em sua jornada indígena Dra. Sigrid Weigel* Abstract The article is devoted to analyze different versions and drafts of the 1923 Warburg’s Lecture, held in Kreuzlingen in 1923, on his travel to the United States in 1895/96, at the end of his long convalescence in the sanatorium of Ludwig Binswanger, as well as the respective lectures of 1897. This essay focuses on how the dispersion of these texts, their different dates and interferences in publications over decades had epistemological implications in the interpretation of his famous Conference. Thus, the contrast between fundamental points of these texts, both in their forms and contents – including deliberate terminological fluctuations –, raises theoretical questions that interfere with the understanding of Warburg’s work in its methodological specificity.

  • Bachmann's Feminist Reception
    CHAPTER 2 Bachmann’s Feminist Reception One must in general be able to read a book in different ways and to read it differently today than tomorrow. (Ingeborg Bachmann, Wir müssen wahre Sätze finden) Every reader, when he reads, is in reality a reader of himself. —Ingeborg Bachmann, Werke, quoting Proust Since the late 1970s, the enthusiastic response of feminist readers, critics, and scholars to the writing of Ingeborg Bachmann has produced a radical reassessment of her work. As I explained in chapter 1, she owed her reputation during her lifetime to the two highly accomplished volumes of lyric poetry she published in the 1950s, Die gestundete Zeit and Anrufung des Großen Bären. Her critics responded more negatively to her subsequent attempts at prose fiction, The Thirtieth Year (1961) and the first finished volumes of her “Ways of Death” cycle, Malina (1971) and Three Paths to the Lake (1972). But after her death in 1973, feminist readers rediscovered her fiction, now focusing their attention on representations of femininity in the “Ways of Death,” augmented in 1978 by the posthumous publication of two novel fragments, The Franza Case (now called The Book of Franza) and Requiem for Fanny Goldmann. By the 1980s “the other Ingeborg Bachmann,” as Sigrid Weigel termed her (“Andere” 5), had achieved the status of cult figure within German feminism; feminist literary scholars’ spirited and subtle reinterpretations of her writing had produced a renaissance in Bachmann scholarship; and Bachmann’s texts had become central to the Ger- man feminist literary canon. In a study of Bachmann’s reception before 1973, Constance Hotz argues that 1950s journalists constructed an image of her that met the political needs of their era, turning Bachmann into an “exemplum for [Germany’s] reconstruction, its reattainment of international standards, its reachievement of recognition in the world” (72).

  • Body-And Image-Space: Re-Reading Walter Benjamin
    Body-and image-space The last decade has seen renewed interest among philosophers and theorists in the writings of Walter Benjamin. In Body-and Image-Space Sigrid Weigel, one of Germany's leading feminist theorists and a renowned commentator on the work of Walter Benjamin, argues that the reception of his work has so far overlooked a crucial aspect of his thought Ðhis use of images. Weigel argues that it is precisely his practice of thinking in images that holds the key to understanding the full complexity and topicality of Benjamin's theory. Bilddenken, or thinking in images, and its relation to the body are central to Benjamin's work. Weigel illuminates points of contact between this approach and psychoanalytical modes of observation and suggests that there also are affinities between Benjamin's thought and contemporary French theory, notably the work of Foucault and Kristeva. Focusing on those parallels, the author demonstrates the productivity of Benjamin's theoretical approach for contemporary gender studies, cultural theory and philosophy. At the same time, her reading reestablishes the buried links between early Critical Theory and post- structuralism, between German high modernism and French post- modernist theory. Body- and Image-Space will be invaluable to anyone interested in gender theory, post-structuralism, cultural anthropology and philosophy. Sigrid Weigel is Professor of German Literature at the University of Zurich. Warwick Studies in European Philosophy Edited by Andrew Benjamin Senior Lecturer in Philosophy, University of Warwick This series presents the best and most original work being done within the European philosophical tradition. The books included in the series seek not merely to reflect what is taking place within European philosophy, rather they will contribute to the growth and development of that plural tradition.

Wood A prize is supposed to honor the recipient. But often the recipient, just by accepting the prize, honors the prize-bestowing institution. Especially a damaged or disgraced institution, for example the Ger- man university in the twentieth century. Many German professors who had stayed at their posts right through the Nazi years and on into the 1950s and 60s craved personal reconciliation with the Jewish colleagues who had been expelled in 1933. Others sought a more abstract, shared exculpation. It occurred to some that prizes and hon- ors might balm wounds and hasten atonement. Gert von der Osten, General Director of the Museums of the City of Cologne, wrote to the architect Rudolf Hillebrecht on June 20, 1966, about the possibility of electing the eminent art historian Erwin Panofsky to the Order Pour le mérite. “The election,” he remarked presumptuously, “would have wide resonance among unreconciled refugees in all intellectual and artistic fields” (“Die Wahl hätte weite Resonanz bei unversöhnten Refugees auf allen geistigen und künstlerischen Gebieten”; Korrespondenz 5: no. 3304). The unforgiven, when speaking of the unreconciled, always manage to strike just the wrong note, as for example when von der Osten asserts in the same letter that Panofsky had not yet returned to Germany, “like so many of the sensitive emigrants, for fear of the shock” (“wie so viele der feinfühligen Emigranten, aus Furcht vor dem Schock”).

Company 1897 ; Preface to the German Edition my little treatise " Das Drama " ^ IN Richard Wagner s I announced my intention of writing a larger work on the Bayreuth Meister. Just at the moment when my preliminary studies had advanced so far that I could think of attempting the execution of my plan, the publishers, Messrs Friedrich Bruckmann, proposed that I should write the text for an illustrated Life of Wagner. Honourable as this commission was, it had little attraction for me at first. In Carl Friedrich Glasenapp's Life of Richard Wagner the world possesses a classical biography of the great word-tone-poet ; a voluminous autobiography will moreover some day be published; several excellent little popular accounts of his life have been written by various authors. A new biography therefore seemed to me scarcely calculated to meet any real requirement. The publishers however agreed to my proposal to compose, not a biography in the narrower sense of the word, but so to speak a picture; not a chronological enumeration of all the events of his life in proper order, but rather a sketch of the entire thought and work of the great man, and so I felt it my duty to postpone the execution of my first design, and to carry out the present work to the best of my abilities.
