Friedrich Schiller: „An den Dichter,“ 1797. die rache der sprache ist das gedicht Ernst Jandl, 1996 Deutsche Lyrik German 450 . Fall 2013 . TR 9:30-10:45 . Capers 213 Instructor: Dr. Emm Office: Capers 223B Office Hours: MWF 11-12:00 am, TR 8:30-9:20 am, and by appointment. Contact: 953-6806; [email protected] Required Texts: Conrady. Das Buch der Gedichte: Deutsche Lyrik von den Anfängen bis zur Gegenwart. Ed. Hermann Korte. Cornelson, 2006. Additional readings (copies to be distributed) Recommended: A Glossary of German Literary Terms. Second revised and enlarged edition. Ed. E.W. Herd and August Obermayer. University of Otago, 1992. (Used copies available on Amazon.) Course Description: Learning to read poetry in a foreign language opens up manifold intensive engagements with language and provides the foundations for approaching literature of any genre. This course will introduce students to poetry in German from the middle ages to the present day. Together with an exploration of universal poetic forms, genres and themes, the course will highlight distinctly German developments, movements and cultural perspectives, such as Knittelvers, the Lied, and Dada. The full experience of poetry requires not only reading but also vocal, aural, imaginative and analytical engagement and thus offers foreign language learners a double pay-off: students will have opportunities to enhance their communicative competence in German as well as to engage their critical faculties. Coursework will involve reading aloud, memorizing and reciting works, as well as analyzing works in class discussion and written assignments. We will also consider musical settings of poems. The course will conclude with a thematic unit on nature in German poetry to prepare for a final comparative analysis of two poems on a theme of the student’s choice. This course is conducted in German. Objectives: Successful participants in this course will be able to: identify and define poetic forms and techniques. characterize major developments in German literary history. memorize and recite poetry for an audience. apply appropriate vocabulary and structures in order to talk about poetry and abstract topics in German. critically analyze poetry in the context of broader themes. Expectations: Reading: Poems are complex and compact networks of meaning that require more than a quick read through. Read each poem more than once. Read each poem, or at least a stanza or two, aloud. Look up every unfamiliar word, as well as familiar words, as they may have more than one meaning. Annotation is essential to your process of engaging with a poem. Read with a pen or pencil in your hand and note your thoughts, questions and associations. Underline or circle striking words, irregularities of meter, patterns, etc. If you do not wish to write in your textbook, then you are responsible for making photocopies of assigned poems to write on. 1 Attendance: Attendance is mandatory. Official Citadel attendance policy will be followed. Students must notify the professor at least 24 hours in advance of any planned absence and submit homework in advance. Students must make an effort to reschedule guard duty when it conflicts with class, and tests may not be missed due to guard duty (The White Book, p. 86-7). Furthermore, "For any student, absences, whether authorized or unauthorized, in excess of 20% of the meetings of a particular course can, at the discretion of the professor, result in a grade of F in that course" (Blue Book, p. 86). Coursework: Assignments are listed on the Semesterplan below, and are due on the date listed. Remember: Your success in foreign language learning depends heavily on the time spent studying and preparing outside of class. No late homework will be accepted, except in extraordinary circumstances and by arrangement with your Professor. (Forgetting, printer problems, guard duty, training exercises, etc, do not qualify as extraordinary circumstances.) When you know you will be absent, homework must be submitted in advance. Class Discussions and Reading Aloud: Your contributions to in-class discussions will be a vital to component of your learning. Come prepared to make comments and ask questions about the readings, and to respectfully consider the questions and ideas of others. We will regularly read poems aloud in class: prepare by reading poems aloud at home, and look up the pronunciation of unfamiliar words. Productive Learning Atmosphere: At this level, language abilities may differ greatly depending on heritage, length of time in the German program and time spent abroad. If your Scale: (%) German is more advanced, you should be wary of dominating discussions: understand that A=100-90 others need time to formulate their thoughts. If you have less experience in German, you can B=89-80 prepare outside of class not just for what to say but how to say it, and focus on building C=79-70 confidence by regularly asserting yourself in discussions. D=69-60 F=59-0 Assignments and Assessment: % of grade Assignment 15% Teilnahme (Class Participation): Class participation includes coming to class prepared (i.e. completing all readings and assignments), as well as checking email for announcements. Your participation grade will reflect your contribution to class (for example: being present and punctual, actively discussing and asking questions, being prepared to read aloud when called on, avoiding English, staying awake and focused in class, not leaving the classroom, and bringing the required materials). 25% Gedichtanalysen (Short papers) 6 page-length paragraphs in German analyzing one aspect of a poem according to an assigned topic. Papers must be typed, double spaced, 12pt font, 1-inch margins. (One short paper will be dropped). 15% Rezitation (recitation) A public recitation of a memorized poem. The public recitation will take place at a poetry night together with German students from the CofC and members of the community. 20% Midterm A written exam testing your knowledge of poetic terms, forms and historical movements covered in the first half of the semester. 25% Seminararbeit (Final paper) A final paper in German presenting a comparative analysis of two poems. Choose a thematic category from the back of the textbook and two poems from the list that we have not covered in class. Include at least two secondary sources. Writers of especially successful final papers will be invited to expand and present their essays at the Philological Association of the Carolinas annual meeting in Spring, 2014. 2 All work submitted must be your own. Use of online translation programs is cheating. Online dictionaries may be used to aid comprehension but may not be used to translate into German. Professor Emm and the Academic Support Center are available for help. Consult with your Professor before seeking help from anyone else. The Syllabus and Semesterplan are subject to change.

During the latter part of the 18th century, all Europe passed through a revolutionizing stage. In England, probably because of her isolation and because of the inherent sturdiness and love of freedom of her people, the movement had come earlier. In France, a political change took place and as a result of the Revolution, the people gained politically and socially. In Germany, because of the political disintegration, the movement was entirely an intellectual revolution, and its fruits are to be found in poetry and music.

    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.

  • Friedrich Schiller - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Friedrich Schiller - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Friedrich Schiller(10 November 1759 – 9 May 1805) Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller was a German poet, philosopher, historian, and playwright. During the last seventeen years of his life, Schiller struck up a productive, if complicated, friendship with already famous and influential <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/johann-wolfgang-von- goethe/">Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe</a>. They frequently discussed issues concerning aesthetics, and Schiller encouraged Goethe to finish works he left as sketches. This relationship and these discussions led to a period now referred to as Weimar Classicism. They also worked together on Xenien, a collection of short satirical poems in which both Schiller and Goethe challenge opponents to their philosophical vision. <b>Life</b> Friedrich Schiller was born on 10 November 1759, in Marbach, Württemberg as the only son of military doctor Johann Kaspar Schiller (1733–96), and Elisabeth Dorothea Kodweiß (1732–1802). They also had five daughters. His father was away in the Seven Years' War when Friedrich was born. He was named after king Frederick the Great, but he was called Fritz by nearly everyone. Kaspar Schiller was rarely home during the war, but he did manage to visit the family once in a while. His wife and children also visited him occasionally wherever he happened to be stationed. When the war ended in 1763, Schiller's father became a recruiting officer and was stationed in Schwäbisch Gmünd. The family moved with him. Due to the high cost of living—especially the rent—the family moved to nearby Lorch.

  • The Essential Goethe
    Introduction Reading a French translation of his drama Faust in 1828, Goethe was struck by how “much brighter and more deliberately constructed” it appeared to him than in his original German. He was fascinated by the translation of his writing into other languages, and he was quick to acknowledge the important role of translation in modern culture. Literature, he believed, was becoming less oriented toward the nation. Soon there would be a body of writing— “world literature” was the term he coined for it— that would be international in scope and readership. He would certainly have been delighted to find that his writing is currently enjoying the attention of so many talented translators. English- speaking readers of Faust now have an embarrassment of riches, with modern versions by David Luke, Randall Jarrell, John Williams, and David Constantine. Constantine and Stanley Corngold have recently produced ver- sions of The Sorrows of Young Werther, the sentimental novel of 1774 that made Goethe a European celebrity and prompted Napoleon to award him the Le- gion d’Honneur. Luke and John Whaley have done excellent selections of Goethe’s poetry in English. At the same time the range of Goethe’s writing available in English remains quite narrow, unless the reader is lucky enough to find the twelve volumes of Goethe’s Collected Works published jointly by Princeton University Press and Suhrkamp Verlag in the 1980s. The Princeton edition was an ambitious undertaking. Under the general editorship of three Goethe scholars, Victor Lange, Eric Blackall, and Cyrus Hamlyn, it brought together versions by over twenty translators covering a wide range of Goethe’s writings: poetry, plays, novels and shorter prose fiction, an autobiography, and essays on the arts, philosophy, and science.

  • STUDY the AESTHETIC ASPECTS of GOETHE's POEM Zeynab
    International Journal of Asian Social Science, 2016, 6(6): 347-358 International Journal of Asian Social Science ISSN(e): 2224-4441/ISSN(p): 2226-5139 URL: www.aessweb.com STUDY THE AESTHETIC ASPECTS OF GOETHE’S POEM Zeynab Rahmanyan1 1Department of Persian Language Literature, Payame Noor University, Tehran, Iran ABSTRACT Goethe, the prominent German poet, writer, philosopher and scholar should be regarded as a joint between the literature of Classicism and Romanticism. Some of his works belong to the classical movement and another part of his work belongs to the radical and progressive movement in German Romanticism. In fact, Goethe is known as a poet, scholar and philosopher between the two main streams in Europe: Classicism and Romanticism. He carries the ideas of Classicism and also establishes new ideas of Romanticism. Hence, in terms of aesthetics, he is considered to be among the leading theorists of Romanticism school because he has reflected many creative and pure ideas of Romanticism in his literary and philosophical works. German literature owes to Goethe's intellectual and aestheticism. This article tries to display aesthetic aspects of Goethe’s poem in addition to study the literary and artistic features and characteristics of Romanticism school. © 2016 AESS Publications. All Rights Reserved. Keywords: Poetry, Aesthetics, German literature, Romanticism, Goethe. Contribution/ Originality This study is one of very few studies which have investigated about Goethe and its Aesthetic poetry. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is one of the German Poets, Writers, Philosophers, and thinkers that he should see a Joint among Classicism and Romanticism literature. Some of his works has belong to the classical movement and another part of his Works belonged to the Radical Movement Romantic is in Germany.

    Adyar Pamphlets The Religion of Goethe No. 38 The Religion of Goethe by Dr. F Otto Schrader Published in 1914 Theosophical Publishing House, Adyar, Chennai [Madras] India The Theosophist Office, Adyar, Madras. India FROM AN INDIAN POINT OF VIEW [Page 1] THE idea of dealing with Goethe's religious and philosophical views from an Indian standpoint — with the double object of bringing the greatest German nearer to the East and showing him from an unknown side — will very likely be found highly objectionable by most western literati. Goethe, the strong one, the apostle of action, the realist, the individualist, the ideal of perfect humanity — how can one dare to compare him with the dreamers of the Ganges ? But the writer of these lines has reached the conviction that the science of Indian religions — which is, in his opinion, the most complete religious measuring scale of the world [The same view is held by Prof. Harnack with regard to the science of Christianity, but his works show that he is wrong] — whenever applied (with necessary caution of course) to the profound thinkers of the West, will bring to light facts not to be found by any other method; and he indulges in the hope that the [Page 2] following essay [Which is an elaboration of a lecture or lectures I gave on various occasions.

  • The Life of Goethe. Conclusion
    THE LIFE OF GOETHE.* BY THE EDITOR. GOETHE began his great drama Got::: von Bcrlichingcn at the it in end of 1771 : he finished it in 1772 and submitted manu- script to Herder, but when Herder called the poet's attention to its shortcomings Goethe recast the whole, mercilessly canceled long pas- sages and introduced new material. In this revised shape he had it printed at his own expense in June 1773. because he could not find a publisher in Germany who would risk its publication. JOHANN BERNHARD BASEDOW. Many men of prominence had become interested in Goethe and visited him in his father's house. Among them must be mentioned first Johann Caspar Lavater (1741-1801), a pious pastor of Zurich, and Johann Bernhard Basedow, an educator of Hamburg. In com- pany with these two men, both with outspoken theological interests, the young worldling, as Goethe called himself in a poem of that period, undertook a trip along the Rhine in the summer of 1774. * The first instalment of this sketch appeared in the June number. 462 THE OPEN COURT.
