    Telling Technology Contesting Narratives of Progress in Modernist Literature: Robert Walser, Paul Scheerbart, and Joseph Roth Vincent Hessling Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Vincent Hessling All rights reserved ABSTRACT Telling Technology Contesting Narratives of Progress in Modernist Literature: Robert Walser, Paul Scheerbart, and Joseph Roth Vincent Hessling Telling technology explores how modernist literature makes sense of technological change by means of narration. The dissertation consists of three case studies focusing on narrative texts by Robert Walser, Paul Scheerbart, and Joseph Roth. These authors write at a time when a crisis of ‘progress,’ understood as a basic concept of history, coincides with a crisis of narra- tion in the form of anthropocentric, action-based storytelling. Through close readings of their technographic writing, the case studies investigate how the three authors develop alter- native forms of narration so as to tackle the questions posed by the sweeping technological change in their day. Along with a deeper understanding of the individual literary texts, the dissertation establishes a theoretical framework to discuss questions of modern technology and agency through the lens of narrative theory.

  • HERMANN STRUCK the Art of Etching 1876-1944
    HERMANN STRUCK The Art of Etching 1876-1944 April 11 – July 31, 2016 Opening reception: Monday, April 11th, 6-8pm Image: Hermann Struck, Self Portrait, 1928, Etcing 7.5 x 9.7 cm Some years ago, I was fortunate to inherit a part of the estate of Hermann Struck, who was my great uncle. Growing up in my parent’s home I was surrounded by his work, which played a large and formative role in my interest in art and aesthetics. It is with great pleasure that I organized this exhibition of works from my personal collection. Struck’s art manifested itself in an unusual world with a duality between two cultures: German and Israeli/Palestinian. In the course of his artistic career, Struck became involved with the activities of the Zionist movement in Europe in the early 20th century and became one of it’s most active and strongest supporters. In 1903, he took his first trip to Palestine, where he drew and painted the landscape and its people. He continued his artistic activities with great success in Berlin, where he wrote the important and ultimate book “Die Kunst des Radierens” on the art of the etching in 1908. He worked with and formed close friendships with many important artists of his time including: Max Liebermann, Lovis Corinth, Lesser Ury, Edward Munch, Marc Chagall, Jacob Steinhardt, Joseph Budko, and Josef Israels. He also corresponded with and drew portraits of the senior Jewish intelligentsia of his time including: Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, Martin Buber, Hermann Hesse, Theodor Herzl, and Arnold Zweig.

  • Archetype and Adaptation: Passover Haggadot from the Stephen P
    Archetype and Adaptation: Passover Haggadot from the Stephen P. Durchslag Collection The week-long, springtime Jewish holiday of Pesach, or Passover, is beloved for its symbolic meaning and joyous customs. Passover marks the freeing of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, a narrative with universal appeal as a paradigm for collective and, according to some traditions, personal liberation. The Haggadah (plural: Haggadot), or “telling,” is the collection of prayers, legends, and stories recited on the eve of Passover. The basic text derives from the biblical instruction to retell the story of the Exodus each year during Passover in conjunction with a ritual meal called the Seder, or “order” (Exodus 13:8). Over the centuries songs and illustrations have been added to engage children, to whom the story was to be told, and some passages are given added prominence when they resonate with contemporary concerns. Illustrations in medieval manuscripts depict scenes from Exodus, the life of Moses, and Jewish Patriarchs. Many of these scenes continue to appear in early printed Haggadot, but the emphasis shifts to passages drawn directly from the text. The Haggadah has shown remarkable stability and flexibility: thousands of editions in all languages testify to its central role in Jewish life and its ability to incorporate new themes and respond to changing conditions. This exhibition is drawn entirely from the private collection of Stephen P. Durchslag, the largest known collection of Haggadot in private hands. “Archetype and Adaptation” explores the enduring influence of early printed Haggadot as well as the ability of modern versions to reflect political and social developments such as the Holocaust, Zionism, gay rights, and feminism.
