EINLEITUNG OSWALD WIENER GESTERN UND HEUTE Ich schätze die Zahl der Wiener-Leser als ähnlich hoch wie diejenige derer, die heute noch den "Messias" von Klopstock lesen können: ein paar Professoren, ein paar besonders eifrige Studenten, einer, der eine Dissertation darüber schreibt, ein paar Sonderlinge. Auch wenn es mittlerweile bereits einige Dissertationen über den Österreichischen Autor Oswald Wiener gibt, und Teile von anderen seinem Werk gewidmet sind, hat Herbert Rosendorfer im Großen und Ganzen mit seiner Einschätzung doch recht behal- ten 2 . Warum also zu einer solch kleinen4 Gruppe gehören und sich mit Oswald Wiener befassen? Oswald Wieners Werk besteht hauptsächlich aus den wenigen erhaltenen Beiträgen zum Band Die Wiener Gruppe und einigen Einzelveröffentlichungen. Die wichtigsten davon sind sein "Roman" Die Verbesserung von Mitteleuropa. Roman, sein lite­ rarisches Hauptwerk, und Wir wollen vom Arno-Schmidt-Jahr profitieren3. In letzterem setzt er sich mit dem bekannten zeitgenössischen Autorenkollegen auseinander, dessen Werk in der Literatur ähnlich wie sein eigenes als Kuriosum behandelt wird. Literarische Werke hat Wiener seit der Verbesserung nicht veröffentlicht, er hat sich aber kritisch mit Literatur und Kunst auseinandergesetzt, so z.B. in dem genannten Werk Uber Arno Schmidt und in anderen Aufsätzen und Vorträgen4. Gerade in den letzten Jahren war Wiener wieder sehr produktiv und hat kunstkritische Beiträge, z.B. Uber Maria Lassnig und Christian Attersee, und kleinere Aufsätze zu diversen Themen für verschiedenartigste Publikationen— vor allem kleinere, wenig verbreitete, nicht sehr bekannte und deshalb auch wenig gelesene Zeitschriften— verfaßt5. Seine neueren, philoso­ phisch-wissenschaftlichen Aufsätze widmen sich vorwiegend der Künstlichen Intelligenz und der Erkenntnistheorie6. Die Verbesserung von Mitteleuropa. Roman ist bisher Wieners einziges größeres literarisches Werk7. Vor dessen Veröffentlichung gehörte er zur Wiener Gruppe. Während die anderen Mitglieder dieser Gruppe— Konrad Bayer, Hans Carl Artmann, Friedrich Achleitner und Gerhard Rühm— zunehmend kritisches Interesse erweckt haben, ist Wiener vernachlässigt worden. Das erneute Interesse an den Autoren der Wiener Gruppe gilt vor allem Bayer. Über ihn sind in den letzten Jahren mehrere Studien erschienen, mittlerweile gibt es zwei Gesamtausgaben seines Werkes, und seit 1979 werden Konrad- Bayer-Symposien abgehalten8. Artmann hat als prominentester Autor der Wiener Gruppe schon immer eine Sonderrolle ge­ spielt9. Es gibt zahlreiche Ausgaben seiner Werke und einige Literatur über ihn. Rühm ist als Künstler in den Bereichen Literatur, Musik und Kunst sehr produktiv, aber nicht in wei­ ten Kreisen bekannt. Auch seine bildnerischen Werke wurden bereits mehrfach ausgestellt. Darüber hinaus betätigt er sich als Herausgeber oder Mitherausgeber verschiedener Werke seiner Freunde der Wiener Gruppe, z.B. des Bandes Die Wiener Gruppe, der gesammelten Werke Achleitners, und der Reihe "Linzer Tex­ te" des Verlages Text & Kritik.

  • By Emine Sevgi Özdamar Translated by Leslie A. Adelson
    “On the Train” by Emine Sevgi Özdamar Translated by Leslie A. Adelson Translator’s Introduction Emine Sevgi Özdamar, born in 1946 and raised as what the author herself calls a ‘child of Istanbul’, first attracted widespread attention from German literary critics in 1991 when she was awarded the prestigious Ingeborg Bachmann Prize for Literature for her first German novel, which appeared nearly ten years later in English translation as Life is a Caravanserai: Has Two Doors I Came in One I Went Out the Other (this novel has been translated into ten additional languages, including Turkish). Even prior to this dramatic entry on the German literary scene, however, Özdamar was already emerging as a transnational player in postwar German culture in several different ways that would significantly influence the trajectory of her literary career too. One of the so-called guest workers recruited from Turkey in the 1960s to mitigate the labor shortage in divided Germany, Özdamar lived in Berlin as a factory worker from 1965 to 1967. Pursuing a professional acting career upon her return to Istanbul in the late 1960s, she performed key roles in Turkish stagings of German plays by the likes of Bertolt Brecht and Peter Weiss, including the pivotal role of Charlotte Corday in the revolutionary Marat-Sade play that made Weiss internationally famous. After her return to Europe in the 1970s—when Turkish persecution of leftists was especially brutal—Özdamar assisted with theatrical productions by some of the most sought after directors in both the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic, including Benno Besson, Matthias Langhoff, Claus Peymann, Franz Xaver Kroetz, and Einar Schleef.

  • Carl Zuckmayer, Sohn Eines Fabrikanten Für Weinflaschenkapseln in Nackenheim, Wuchs Von 1900 an in Mainz Auf
    Carl Zuckmayer, Sohn eines Fabrikanten für Weinflaschenkapseln in Nackenheim, wuchs von 1900 an in Mainz auf. Er war kein begeisterter Schüler und hatte oft Ärger mit seinen Lehrern. Als in der Oberprima ein kränkelnder Lehrer seinetwegen beinahe in Ohnmacht gefallen war, konnte er nur knapp dem Schulverweis entgehen. 1914 machte er ein "Notabitur" am heute altsprachlichen Rabanus-Maurus-Gymnasium im Mainz, was ihm ermöglichte, sich als Kriegsfreiwilliger zu melden. Bis 1918 war er Soldat an der Westfront. Nach Kriegsende studierte bis 1920 u. a. Jura, Literaturgeschichte und Soziologie in Frankfurt am Main und Heidelberg. Von 1917 an veröffentlichte er Gedichte in expressionistischen Zeitschriften, darunter in der von Franz Pfemfert herausgegeben "Aktion". Im Dezember 1920 wurde sein Drama "Kreuzweg" am Staatlichen Schauspielhaus Berlin uraufgeführt, aber bereits nach drei Aufführungen wieder abgesetzt. Lobende Besprechungen erhielt es lediglich von Herbert Ihering und Siegfried Jacobsohn. 1920 heiratete er seine Mainzer Jugendliebe Annemarie Ganz, von der er sich 1921 wieder scheiden ließ, nachdem er eine leidenschaftliche Liebesaffaire mit der Schauspielerin Annemarie Seidel, genannt Mirl, begonnen hatte. Bis 1922 schlug er sich – insofern als unkonventioneller Autor ein Bohemien (Helmut Kreuzer) – als (Bänkel-) Sänger in Kneipen und mit Gelegenheitsarbeiten durch (u. a. als Statist beim Film oder auch als Drogendealer, dies ließ er jedoch sehr schnell, da er beinahe verhaftet wurde) bis er Engagements als Dramaturg in Kiel, München und (zusammen mit Bertolt Brecht) am Deutschen Theater Berlin erhielt. Dort lernte er die Wiener Schauspielerin Alice Frank, geborene von Herdan, kennen, die er 1925 heiratete. Aus einer vorangegangenen Ehe mit dem kommunistischen Funktionär Karl Frank hatte sie eine Tochter (Michaela), deren Stiefvater Zuckmayer nun wurde.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 314 944 FL 018 291 AUTHOR Duncan, Annelise M. TITLE The Camera Angles Film as a First Exposure to Literataure. PUB DATE 89 NOTE 10p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Association of Teachers of German (Boston, MA, November 17-19, 1989). PUB TYPE Information Analyses (070) -- Viewpoints (120) -- Speeches /Conference Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Classroom Techniques; *Films; *German; *Instructional Materials; *Literature Appreciation; Second Language Instruction; Second Language Learning; Student Motivation ABSTRACT While students are struggling with the basic concepts of learning a second language, they are not likely to be intrigued by the language as the key to literature. In the first two years of language study, the amount of material being studied and the focus on language acquisition are such that film can be accommodated as an outside activity carrying credit. A German series of literature on film, designed for television, and literature interpreted for the cinema by film authors offer diversity in the language classroom, are well suited for classroom use, and are readily available. A brief in-class introduction of the author, the period, and the film establishes the literary context before viewing. A discussion of students' written critiques after viewing the film serve to clarify any questions students might have. Use of English in students' critical commentary is permissible only in the first semester. Students eventually recognize that subtitles are actually a hindrance, and they soon notice the inaccuracies in them. If appropriately used at each level, film will support literature before and when it can be read, while adding its own dimension to and interpretation of the written work.

  • I'm Not Thinking, I'm Only Saying It. Ödön Von Horváth and the Theatre
    I’m not thinking, I’m only saying it. Ödön von Horváth and the Theatre March 15, 2018 - February 11, 2019 Lobkowitzplatz 2, 1010 Wien [email protected] T +43 1 525 24 5315 About the Exhibition Ödon von Horváth saw himself as a “chronicler of his time” and continually worked to “unmask consciousness” through literature. His brilliant dialogues reveal how closely eroticism, economics and politics are intertwined – connections and entanglements that still exist today. His deep understanding of petit-bourgeois language, which he trenchantly called “educated jargon” (Bildungsjargon), his concise critique of language, and his “crazy sentences” (irre Sätze; Peter Handke) deeply informed post-1945 German literature. Authors like for instance Peter Handke, Peter Turrini, Wolfgang Bauer, Franz Xaver Kroetz, Werner Schwab, Elfriede Jelinek, Felix Mitterer, Dea Loher and René Pollesch are clearly to be recognized as followers in Horváth‘s dramatic tradition. Ödön von Horváth died 80 years ago in Paris at the age of 36. Today, Ödön von Horváth is one of the most frequently performed German speaking authors; his contemporaries already celebrated his plays Italian Night, Tales from the Vienna Woods (both 1931) and Kasimir and Karoline (1932) as a renewal of the traditional folk play. In his dramas Horváth focuses on the petit bourgeoisie and its social, political and economic parameters, which he depicts critically but not without empathy. Over and over again he tried to observe the social structures from “the woman‘s point of view” and hence created his famous “Fräulein” characters, like for instance Marianne, Karoline and Elisabeth. With his plays Sladek, the black soldier of the Reichswehr (1929) and Italian Night (1931) he explicitly positioned himself in opposition to the emerging National Socialism and threat of the still young Weimar Republic.

    Read the speech online: www.bundespraesident.de Page 1 of 6 Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier at the presentation of the 2020 Heinrich Heine Prize to Rachel Salamander in Düsseldorf on 29 August 2021 The list of individuals who have been honoured with the Heinrich Heine Prize of the City of Düsseldorf over almost fifty years is impressive, indeed downright awe-inspiring – such as Carl Zuckmayer, the first prizewinner, as well as Richard von Weizsäcker, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Amos Oz and Jürgen Habermas. Rachel Salamander now joins these genuinely illustrious ranks with a highly deserving life’s work that we will be honouring and celebrating today at this award ceremony. Rachel Salamander was one of the most important facilitators of German intellectual life for many decades and remains so today. Her impact and her success are due primarily to the fact that, in everything she does, she never places the focus on herself, but strives to enable others to unfold their potential. Rachel Salamander, you have given all of us who are interested in cultural and intellectual life a gift that I believe only you could have given. Your passion, your charm, your energy, just as much as your knack for friendship, your intellectual curiosity and your talent for organisation, have provided us with bridges to the literary world, to authors and books, to ways of thinking and feeling, points of access that we would not have found without you. The literary world is your world. And you have worked to make this “literary world” accessible and comfortable for as many other people as possible, not just in your long years as editor of the literary supplement of the same name.

  • Guide to the Max Reinhardt Collection
    GUIDE TO THE MAX REINHARDT COLLECTION BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE The celebrated theater director Max Reinhardt, recognized in America primarily for his elaborate productions of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Franz Werfel’s The Eternal Road, and Karl Vollmoeller’s The Miracle, was born in 1873 at Baden near Vienna, Austria and died in New York City in 1943. Reinhardt’s illustrious career takes on added significance because it coincides with a major shift in the evolution of the modern theater: the ascendancy of the director as the key figure in theatrical production. Reinhardt’s reputation in international theater history is secured by the leading role he played in this transformation, as well as by his innovative use of new theater technology and endless experimentation with theater spaces and locales, which together redefined traditional relationships between actor and audience toward a new participatory theater. Born Maximilian Goldmann into an impecunious lower middle-class merchant family, Reinhardt (initially a stage name) began his career as a struggling young actor in Vienna and Salzburg. In 1894 he was invited to Berlin by Otto Brahm, the renowned director of the Deutsches Theater, where the young actor quickly gained critical acclaim for his convincing portrayals of old men. Eager to escape the gloom and doom of the prevailing Naturalist style, Reinhardt in 1901 co-founded an avant-garde literary cabaret called Sound and Smoke (Schall und Rauch), the allusion being to a poem by Goethe. This cabaret theater perceptively satirized the fashions of current theatrical theory and practice and came to function as an experimental laboratory for the future director.
