    “‘ON THE VERGE OF HEARING’: EPISTEMOLOGY AND THE POETICS OF LISTENING IN THE HUMAN-NIXIE ENCOUNTER IN GERMAN LITERATURE” A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in German By Deva Fall Kemmis Hicks, M.A. Washington, DC April 18, 2012 Copyright 2012 by Deva Fall Kemmis Hicks All Rights Reserved ii “‘ON THE VERGE OF HEARING’: EPISTEMOLOGY AND THE POETICS OF LISTENING IN THE HUMAN-NIXIE ENCOUNTER IN GERMAN LITERATURE” Deva Fall Kemmis Hicks, M.A. Thesis Advisor: G. Ronald Murphy, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation examines selected texts of German literature in which a human being gains access to knowledge outside human scope by means of an encounter with the water nixie, seen in her mythological variations as siren, water sprite, undine, melusine, nymph, or mermaid. Texts to be considered include Das Nibelungenlied (ca. 1200), Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s “Der Fischer” (ca. 1779), Franz Kafka’s “Das Schweigen der Sirenen” (1917), Ingeborg Bachmann’s “Undine Geht” (1961), and Johannes Bobrowski’s “Undine” (1964). In each of these texts it is not the eyes that play the central role in the epistemological character of the human-nixie encounter, but the ears. In this project I argue that the human posture of attentive listening that precedes the encounter with the nixie indicates a state of readiness that leads to a moment of extraordinary awareness, in which the epistemological experience is transformational. Further, I suggest that poetry plays a pivotal role in the moment of epiphany, or of transformational knowing, for the reader.

  • The Vibrant Body of the Grimms' Folk and Fairy Tales, Which Do Not
    INTRODUCTION The Vibrant Body of the Grimms’ Folk and Fairy Tales, Which Do Not Belong to the Grimms The example of the Brothers Grimm had its imitators even in Russia, including the person of the first editor of Russian Folk Tales, A. N. Afanasyev. From the viewpoint of contemporary folkloristics, even a cautious reworking and stylization of the texts, written down from their performers, is considered absolutely inadmissible in scientific edi- tions. But in the era of the Brothers Grimm, in the world of romantic ideas and principles, this was altogether permissible. To the credit of the Brothers Grimm, it must be added that they were almost the first to establish the principle of publication of the authentic, popular oral poetic productions. — Y. M. Sokolov, Russian Folklore (1966)1 It is the brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm who illustrate the connec- tion between folklore and textual criticism most powerfully, just as they demonstrate the continuing influence of Herder on thought. Nationalist politics and folkloric endeavours intertwine throughout all the Grimm brothers’ projects, but the Europe-wide significance of the Kinder- und Hausmärchen (first edition 1812) was the inspiration it provided to proto- folklorists to go out and collect “vom Volksmund,” that is from the mouth of the people (whether or not this was the Grimms’ own practice). — Timothy Baycroft and David Hopkin, Folklore and Nationalism in Europe During the Long Nineteenth Century (2012)2 Just what is a legacy, and what was the corpus of folk and fairy tales that the Broth- ers Grimm passed on to the German people—a corpus that grew, expanded, and eventually spread itself throughout the world? What do we mean when we talk about cultural legacy and memory? Why have the Grimms’ so- called German 1 2 INTRODUCTION tales spread throughout the world and become so universally international? Have the Grimms’ original intentions been betrayed? Did they betray them? If we fail to address these questions, the cultural legacy of the Grimms’ tales and their relevance cannot be grasped.

' ' ' 11 1 ~1 ,l "ffe ~ Holle is known throughout northern Europe. She is also known as Holda or Hulda. A triple goddess, Holle is the Maiden, the Mother and the Crone--the embodiment of the three stages of womanhood. As Maiden, she is the ash girl, whose face is half black with soot. Destined to marry Holler, King of Winter and Frost, he tested her with a riddle tobe sure of Holle's worthiness. She had to come to his palace neither naked nor clothed, neither riding nor walking, neither alone nor with companions, in neither light nor darkness. Holle answered by arriving wrapped in a fishing net, sitting on a donkey with one toe dragging on the ground, surrounded by twenty-four wolves at twilight. Holle as Mother is said to be seen as a woman from the front and a tree form the back. Representing fertility and growth she guards and nurtures all the green growing things of the forest. As Crone, Holle is viewed as the wise Queen of Winter. She shakes her bed till the feathers fly to·make it snow. When it snows in Holland, people still say, 'Dame Holle is shaking her bed'. Frau Holle, as she is known in Germany, was called The Queen of the Witches. The brothers Grimm teil a story of step-sisters who both go to visit Frau Holle in the 'nether realms'. They begin their journey to her by falling in a well.

  • Memory of the World
    MEMORY OF THE WORLD Kinder- und Hausmärchen (Children’s and Household Tales) (Germany) REF N° 2004-10 revised version of July 2011 SUMMARY The “Kinder- und Hausmärchen” (Children’s and Household Tales; hereafter CHT) of the Brothers Grimm are, next to the Luther Bible, the most well-known and the most widely distributed book that has emerged in the course of German cultural history. It is, at once, the first systematic compilation of any fairy tale tradition undertaken in the European or Oriental realm as well as the first scholarly documentation of such a tradition. Translations exist in over 160 languages and cultural dialects from all continents. The Grimms’ great work is like a concave mirror that captures a fairy tale tradition shaped by several cultures, compiles it in a new form, and reflects it in such a way that a new tradition emerges which subsequently unfolds with worldwide impact. The global distribution of the Grimm fairy tales is also a demonstration of their exemplary character, which, rooted in German romanticism, takes up the poetry of the human imagination and sets it down in a universally valid form. The uniqueness and global impact of this collection may be ascribed to the fact that the Brothers Grimm, in their literary encoding of a pre-literary tradition, moved beyond the German and European frame of reference and created a universal pattern for the cross-cultural fairy tale tradition. The most significant preserved historical source documenting the origins and effect of the Grimms’ fairy tales are the Annotated Reference Copies of the CHT, the so-called Kassel Handexemplare.
