Contact: Suriya Prabhakar [email protected] Hey Germanists/Linguists, I’m Suriya, a recent German graduate from Teddy Hall, and I’m looking to sell most of my books that I bought firsthand during my degree. All the books are in extremely good condition, and some of them barely used. You may find the occasional annotation but it will be in pencil and easily erasable (except poetry books where specified). All these prices are half the original price or less (based on Amazon), so I can guarantee you will be saving loads of money (unlike me in first year) on books that you probably won’t use after your degree! They will be sold on a first come first served basis – all you need to do is email me as soon as you’ve decided which ones you want! I’m happy to answer any questions you may have, and am willing to provide details/photos of books if needed.

Andreas Gryphius - Poems
Classic Poetry Series Andreas Gryphius - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Andreas Gryphius(11 October 1616 – 16 July 1664) German lyric poet and dramatist, was born on the 11th of October 1616, at Grossglogau in Silesia, where his father was a clergyman. The family name was Greif, latinized, according to the prevailing fashion, as Gryphius. Left early an orphan and driven from his native town by the troubles of the Thirty Years’ War, he received his schooling in various places, but notably at Fraustadt, where he enjoyed an excellent classical education. In 1634 he became tutor to the sons of the eminent jurist Georg von. Schonborn (1579—1637), a man of wide culture and considerable wealth, who, after filling various administrative posts and writing many erudite volumes on law, had been rewarded by the emperor Ferdinand II. with the title and office of imperial count-palatine (Pfalzgraf). Schonborn, who recognized Gryphius’s genius, crowned him poela laureatus, gave him the diploma of master of philosophy, and bestowed on. him a patent of nobility, though Gryphius never used the title. A month later, on the 23rd of December 1637, Schonborn died; and next year Gryphius went to continue his studies at Leiden, where he remained six years, both hearing and delivering lectures. Here he fell under the influence of the great Dutch dramatists, Pieter Cornelissen Hooft (1581—1647) and Joost van den Vondel (1587—1679), who largely determined the character of his later dramatic works. After travelling in France, Italy and South Germany, Gryphius settled in 1647 at Fraustadt, where he began his dramatic work, and in 1650 was appointed syndic of Glogau, a post he held until his death on the 16th of July 1664.

Literature and Film of the Weimar Republic (In English Translation) OLLI@Berkeley, Spring 2019 Mondays, April 1—29, 2019 (5 Weeks), 10:00 A.M
Instructor: Marion Gerlind, PhD (510) 430-2673 • [email protected] Literature and Film of the Weimar Republic (in English translation) OLLI@Berkeley, Spring 2019 Mondays, April 1—29, 2019 (5 weeks), 10:00 a.m. — 12:30 p.m. University Hall 41B, Berkeley, CA 94720 In this interactive seminar we shall read and reflect on literature as well as watch and discuss films of the Weimar Republic (1919–33), one of the most creative periods in German history, following the traumatic Word War I and revolutionary times. Many of the critical issues and challenges during these short 14 years are still relevant today. The Weimar Republic was not only Germany’s first democracy, but also a center of cultural experimentation, producing cutting-edge art. We’ll explore some of the most popular works: Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill’s musical play, The Threepenny Opera, Joseph von Sternberg’s original film The Blue Angel, Irmgard Keun’s bestseller The Artificial Silk Girl, Leontine Sagan’s classic film Girls in Uniform, Erich Maria Remarque’s antiwar novel All Quiet on the Western Front, as well as compelling poetry by Else Lasker-Schüler, Gertrud Kolmar, and Mascha Kaléko. Format This course will be conducted in English (films with English subtitles). Your active participation and preparation is highly encouraged! I recommend that you read the literature in preparation for our sessions. I shall provide weekly study questions, introduce (con)texts in short lectures and facilitate our discussions. You will have the opportunity to discuss the literature/films in small and large groups. We’ll consider authors’ biographies in the socio-historical background of their work.

The Heuristic Value of German Literature: the Eternal Plea for the Relevance of Medieval and Early Modern Literature from a Practical/Pedagogical Perspective
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by The University of Sydney: Sydney eScholarship Journals... The Heuristic Value of German Literature: The Eternal Plea for the Relevance of Medieval and Early Modern Literature from a Practical/Pedagogical Perspective Albrecht Classen Introduction1 The question of what the meaning of the Humanities might be for the current student generation continues to vex us all. We can all try to look backwards and explain the significance of past literary documents as being contributions to the canon of all literary studies. That would be the answer of an archivist. We can also try to understand literary texts from the pre- modern period as expressions of the overarching endeavor to make sense of human life, to figure out the meaning of human life, and to explain the purpose of our existence. At first look, this seems to be quite self-evident, but at a closer analysis we can realize how much both medieval and modern literary manifestations are simply waiting for us to gain deeper understanding of human interactions, conflicts, and cooperation. This article continues with previous efforts to make sense of medieval narratives and to demonstrate how much they can serve as literary expressions for the further explorations of human identity, ethics, morality, and religion. The central argument for the humanistic value of literature, as developed here, is predicated on practical experiences in teaching the history of German literature and has profited from numerous critical reflections on modern challenges to our discipline. The Relevance of the Humanities For a long time the very same question has occupied the Humanities most profoundly, and it is a question which will be raised over and over again in the future, irrespective of current answers and responses to the issue at 1 Albrecht Classen is Distinguished Professor of German Studies at the University of Arizona.

The Meaning of War, 1914- 1918,” in Horne (Ed.), State, Society and Mobilization, 21-38
A War of Words The Cultural Meanings of the First World War in Britain and Germany Mark Hewitson To the critic Alfred Kazin, conflicts before the Second World War had regularly been described in ‘traditional literary ways’.1 Likewise, for the historian Jay Winter, it was only Hiroshima and Auschwitz that had – in Julia Kristeva’s words – ‘undermined the very symbols through which meaning – any meaning – could be attached to the “cataclysm” of war’.2 Before that point in time, religious or spiritual redemption had appeared possible, present even in the anti-war novels of Henri Barbusse, Ernest Hemingway and Erich Maria Remarque.3 The heroic tropes of nineteenth-century art and literature helped some contemporaries to contextualize, explain and justify the Great War.4 For others, although heroism had been discredited, writing seemed to allow combatants and civilians to look for meaning and make sense of the conflict. Whereas silence was associated with a transfixed state of fear, meaninglessness or mourning, words offered solace and signification. Here, I examine the ways in which written accounts of war, rather than visual images, served to challenge popular expectations and break taboos.5 Since the mid-nineteenth century, various means had been used to bring ‘news’ of conflicts to public attention. Newspaper reports had been eagerly awaited by readers – above all in the educated, middling strata of towns – during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.6 Their readership had increased markedly in size during the nineteenth century.

'Stimulating Our Literature and Deepening Our Culture'
Quærendo 47 (2017) 222-251 brill.com/qua ‘Stimulating our Literature and Deepening our Culture’ Translated Books as Book-of-the-Month Club Selections, 1926 to 1973 Corinna Norrick-Rühl Gutenberg-Institut für Weltliteratur und schriftorientierte Medien Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz, Germany [email protected] Abstract One of the most prominent book clubs in the US was the Book-of-the-Month Club, established in 1926. The Book-of-the-Month Club marketed books as commodities for consumption, promoting leisurely reading among the growing middle class. But the Book-of-the-Month Club also claimed to be ‘stimulating our literature and deepening our culture’, and in fact, dozens of selected authors went on to receive the Pulitzer Prize or the Nobel Prize for Literature. The body of research on the Book-of-the-Month Club includes Janice A. Radway’s well-known multi-method study A Feeling for Books (1997). But translations among Book-of-the-Month Club selections have not yet been considered. Focusing in particular on books translated into English from German, this paper will present new data on originally foreign-language books that were selected by the Book-of-the-Month Club judges, thereby guaranteeing European authors maximum visibility and exorbitant sales in the US market, which was (and is) usually considered difficult to tap into for non-Anglophone writers. Keywords book sales clubs – Book-of-the-Month Club – translation(s) – German literature Worldwide, millions of readers have accessed their reading material and enter- tainment media through mail-order book sales clubs like Círculo de Lectores, the Nederlandse Boekenclub, Bertelsmann Club or the Book-of-the-Month © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, 2017 | doi 10.1163/15700690-12341383Downloaded from Brill.com09/25/2021 08:08:03PM via free access ‘Stimulating our literature and deepening our culture’ 223 Club.

Katharsis – a Tool for Computational Drametrics
Katharsis – A Tool for Computational Drametrics Katharsis – A Tool for Computational Drametrics Thomas Schmidt ([email protected]), University of Regensburg, Germany Manuel Burghardt ([email protected]), University of Leipzig, Germany Katrin Dennerlein ([email protected]), University of Würzburg, Germany Christian Wolff ([email protected]), University of Regensburg, Germany Please cite as: Schmidt, T., Burghardt, M., Dennerlein, K. & Wolff, C. (2019). Katharsis - A Tool for Computational Drametrics. In: Book of Abstracts, Digital Humanities Conference 2019 (DH 2019). Utrecht, Netherlands. 1. Introduction With his idea of 'Distant Reading', Moretti (2000) introduced an important leitmotif in the Digital Humanities that has led to an ongoing discussion about quantitative methods in literary and cultural studies (Clement et al., 2008; Crane, 2006). We believe that the literary genre of drama is particularly well suited for quantitative analyses and hence adapt the concept of "Drametrics" (as proposed by Romanska, 2015) as a term for the distant reading of dramatic texts. In addition to the actual dialogs, dramatic texts contain other structural elements that can be easily quantified, such as the characters of the play as well as an explicit act and scene structure. Keeping these features in mind, it is hardly surprising that we find a number of recent studies dedicated to the quantitative analysis of drama (e.g. Ilsemann, 2013; Wilhelm et al., 2013; Nalisnick and Baird, 2013; Trilcke et al., 2015; Dennerlein, 2015; Xanthos et al., 2016; Willand and Reiter, 2017; Krautter, 2018). At the same time, there have been quantitative approaches to the analysis of drama that date far back into the pre-digital age.

From Heinrich Wittenwiler and Hans Jacob Christoffel Von
2021-4078-AJHA – 18 JAN 2021 1 Horrors of War in the History of German Literature: 2 From Heinrich Wittenwiler and Hans Jacob 3 Christoffel von Grimmelshausen to Rainer Maria 4 Remarque. Literary Outcries against Inhumanity 5 from the Fifteenth to the Twentieth Centuries 6 7 As terrible as wars have always been, for the losers as well as for the winners, 8 considering the massive killings, destruction, and general horror resulting from it 9 all, poets throughout time have responded to this miserable situation by writing 10 deeply moving novels, plays, poems, epic poems, and other works. The history of 11 Germany, above all, has been filled with a long series of wars, but those have also 12 been paralleled by major literary works describing those wars, criticizing them, and 13 outlining the devastating consequences, here disregarding those narratives that 14 deliberately idealized the military events. While wars take place on the ground and 15 affect people, animals, and objects, poets have always taken us to imaginary worlds 16 where they could powerfully reflect on the causes and outcomes of the brutal 17 operations. This paper takes into view some major German works from the early 18 fifteenth through the early twentieth century in order to identify a fundamental 19 discourse that makes war so valuable for history and culture, after all. Curiously, as 20 we will recognize through a comparative analysis, some of the worst conditions in 21 human history have produced some of the most aesthetically pleasing and most 22 meaningful artistic or literary texts. So, as this paper will illustrate, the experience 23 of war, justified or not, has been a cornerstone of medieval, early modern, and 24 modern literature.
