  • Hans Christian Andersen Between a Culture of Meaning and a Culture of Presence

    Hans Christian Andersen Between a Culture of Meaning and a Culture of Presence

    Hans Christian Andersen between a culture of meaning and a culture of presence Mogens Davidsen, Associate Professor, University of Southern Denmark Abstract The article opens with questioning what kind of “community” Hans Christian Andersen as an artist can be said to have been a part of, considering that the community of Andersen’s upbringing was radically different from the one he was socialized into through his literary career. With the point of departure in Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht’s distinction between literature displaying “presence in language” and “presence achieved against language”, the article suggests that part of Andersen’s work (with Søren Kierkegaard’s critique of the novel Only a Fiddler in focus) can be seen as examples of presence achieved against language. With the two presence categories which Gumbrecht typologically distinguishes as a “presence culture” and a “meaning culture” in mind, the presence categories are ascribed to an oral culture of Andersen’s social background, and the elitist intellectual culture of the Danish Golden Age. Inspired by Kierkegaard’s characterization of Andersen’s novel in musical terms, the article further presents a possible understanding of presence, the implications of which reaches far beyond the harmonic paradigm of the Golden Age and into the musical modernism of Arnold Schönberg in the twentieth century. Introduction What kind of community can Hans Christian Andersen rightly be said to have been a part of, if such a community also has to be detectible in his work as formal or thematic aspects of his literature? This is not an altogether easy question to answer, taken into consideration that Andersen came from the very poorest part of society and was socialized into the cultural and artistic norms of the elitist circles of the Danish Golden Age of the late absolute monarchy.

    Herman du Toit. Masters of Light: Coming unto Christ through Inspired Devotional Art. Springville, Utah: Cedar Fort, 2016. Reviewed by Richard Neitzel Holzapfel BOOK REVIEWS erman du Toit is the former head of audience education and Hresearch at the BYU Museum of Art (MOA). A gifted and talented art educator, curator, critic, and author, du Toit caps his long career of considering, thinking, teaching, and writing about the power of reli- gious art with a beautifully written and illustrated volume, Masters of Light. As Richard Oman, a well-known LDS art historian, states in the fore- word, “Most of us strive for a closer relationship with Christ. Among frequently used external aids are written and spoken words in inspira- tional talks, sermons, and books. In this book, Herman du Toit helps us better understand and use an additional source: inspired visual art” (x). The book highlights the work of four influential nineteenth-century Protestant European artists—Bertel Thorvaldsen, Carl Bloch, Heinrich Hofmann, and Frans Schwartz—who have captured the imagination of Latter-day Saint audiences for the last half century. However, the book is much more than the story of four artists and the devotional art they produced during their careers. Du Toit carefully crafts word pictures equally as beautiful as the art he uses to illustrate the book. The result is a theological discussion of the centrality of Jesus Christ in the lives of believers. Du Toit ties this fundamental core doc- trine of the restored Church to the art the Church uses to proclaim Christ to the world.

    34 Iceland As an Imaginary Place in a European

    ICELAND AS AN IMAGINARY PLACE IN A EUROPEAN CONTEXT – SOME LITERARY REPRESENTATIONS Sveinn Yngvi Egilsson University of Iceland [email protected] Abstract The article focuses on the image of Iceland and Iceland as an imaginary place in literature from the nineteenth century onwards. It is especially concerned with the aesthetics or discourse of the sublime, claiming that it is the common denominator in many literary images of Iceland. The main proponents of this aesthetics or discourse in nineteenth-century Icelandic literature are discussed before pointing to further developments in later times. Among those studied are the nineteenth-century poets Bjarni Thorarensen (1786-1841), Jónas Hallgrímsson (1807- 1845), Grímur Thomsen (1820-1896) and Steingrímur Thorsteinsson (1831-1913), along with a number of contemporary Icelandic writers. Other literary discourses also come into play, such as representing Iceland as "the Hellas of the North", with the pastoral mode or discourse proving to have a lasting appeal to Icelandic writers and often featuring as the opposite of the sublime in literary descriptions of Iceland. Keywords Icelandic literature, Romantic poetry; the discourse of the sublime, the idea of the North; pastoral literature. This article will focus on the image of Iceland and on Iceland as an imaginary place in literature from the nineteenth century onwards. It will especially be concerned with the aesthetics of the sublime, claiming that it is the common denominator in many literary images of Iceland. The main proponents of this aesthetics in nineteenth-century Icelandic literature are discussed before pointing to further developments in later times. By looking at a number of literary works from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, it is suggested that this aesthetics can be seen to continue in altered form into the present day.

It has been a pleasant journey, which has taken me from Chicago to Texas to Copenhagen to Sweden and back again. I am indebted to the support and understanding, first and foremost, of my beloved husband Gustav who nurtures and listens and cares beyond all. He has read and participated from the beginning of this journey, which led me to Scandinavia at his invitation. To you, my s.p., tack så mycket. My interest with nursing and nursing communication began with my family of origin: my mother and my father. My mother is a retired neonatal nurse; and it is my privilege to pay homage to my mother through my dissertation study—in each word, on each page, in each chapter, I honor and value her work. She introduced me to neonatal nursing and the emotional labor it entails, while taking the time to answer my questions (along with RNs at SJH in Springfield, Illinois) and inspiring me to be inquisitive and imaginative.
