  • Goethe, the Japanese National Identity Through Cultural Exchange, 1889 to 1989
    Jahrbuch für Internationale Germanistik pen Jahrgang LI – Heft 1 | Peter Lang, Bern | S. 57–100 Goethe, the Japanese National Identity through Cultural Exchange, 1889 to 1989 By Stefan Keppler-Tasaki and Seiko Tasaki, Tokyo Dedicated to A . Charles Muller on the occasion of his retirement from the University of Tokyo This is a study of the alleged “singular reception career”1 that Goethe experi- enced in Japan from 1889 to 1989, i. e., from the first translation of theMi gnon song to the last issues of the Neo Faust manga series . In its path, we will high- light six areas of discourse which concern the most prominent historical figures resp. figurations involved here: (1) the distinct academic schools of thought aligned with the topic “Goethe in Japan” since Kimura Kinji 木村謹治, (2) the tentative Japanification of Goethe by Thomas Mann and Gottfried Benn, (3) the recognition of the (un-)German classical writer in the circle of the Japanese national author Mori Ōgai 森鴎外, as well as Goethe’s rich resonances in (4) Japanese suicide ideals since the early days of Wertherism (Ueruteru-zumu ウェル テルヅム), (5) the Zen Buddhist theories of Nishida Kitarō 西田幾多郎 and D . T . Suzuki 鈴木大拙, and lastly (6) works of popular culture by Kurosawa Akira 黒澤明 and Tezuka Osamu 手塚治虫 . Critical appraisal of these source materials supports the thesis that the polite violence and interesting deceits of the discursive history of “Goethe, the Japanese” can mostly be traced back, other than to a form of speech in German-Japanese cultural diplomacy, to internal questions of Japanese national identity .

  • Early Faust Literature and Skepticism in the Reformation
    Dustin Lovett 20 Polemical Magic: Early Faust Literature and Skepticism in the Reformation Dustin Lovett (University of California, Santa Barbara) Richard Popkin’s epochal work on the history of skepticism in the Early Modern period1 identifies the seminal gesture of the Reformation, Luther’s rejection of the Catholic church’s entire framework of authority at the Diet of Worms, as the opening of a “Pandora’s Box” that sparked a skeptical crisis, or “crise pyrrhonienne,” which soon engulfed the Western world (5). Popkin’s narrow understanding of the term skepticism and his emphasis on the role of the printed Latin translations of Sextus Empiricus’s work in the 1560s in the birth of modern science have become controversial, but whether one adopts Popkin’s view of an acute crisis in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries or takes a longer and broader view of skepticism,2 the Reformation marks a moment of profound transformation in the history of European thought. As Stuart Clark notes, the temptation “to think of the [Early Modern] period as one of radical epistemological instability” does not exist without reason (1997, 257). In rejecting the authority of the pope and church councils, which had previously arbitrated the nature of truth, in favor of “what conscience is compelled to believe on reading Scripture” (Popkin 3) Luther was redefining the criteria for religious orthodoxy. For centuries, the Catholic church alone had defined the nature of and means of achieving theological principles such as grace or repentance. The spiritual confusion that resulted from Luther’s repudiation of numerous Catholic doctrines finds its reflection in many literary works of the time but perhaps nowhere more potently than in the legend of Faust, which emerged and developed in the early Reformation era into a vehicle for Luther’s radical skepticism toward Catholic doctrines ranging from intercession and repentance to the saints’ cults and miracles.

  • Johann Georg Faust
    Johann Georg Faust Dr. Johann Georg Faust (approx. 1480 – 1540) was a German alchemist who was born in the village of Knittlingen, Württemberg (it is also claimed in Roda in the province of Weimar, and also in Helmstadt near Heidelberg in 1466). He has alternatively been known by the names “Johann Sabellicus” and “Georg Faust.” In 1507, Johannes Trithemius of Sponheim wrote that Faust was a con-man and a drifter who preyed on the gullible. He said he had fled a teaching position in Kreuznach after molesting several of the boys there. He may have then gone on to the University of Heidelberg to study, obtaining a degree in divinity from Heidelberg University in 1509, and then to Poland where a friend of Martin Luther, Philip Melanchthon, says Faust studied magic at the University of Kraków. Martin Luther and Philipp Melanchthon are said to have alleged Faust’s companionship with the devil. After that, he appears at the University of Ehrfut in central Germany. It is said that when he lectured on Homer he conjured up Homer’s heroes for his students. He was expelled from Ehrfut by the Franciscan monk Dr. Klinge (who was the cathedral preacher from 1520-1556). Dr. Klinge asked for Faust’s repentance. Faust refused the monk’s offer of intervention and admitted having signed a pact with the Devil, and said that he trusted the Devil more than God. In 1523 he is said to have visited Auerbach’s Tavern in Leipzig where he conjured wine out of a table, and rode a barrel of wine.

  • In Goethe's Faust, Unlike the Earlier Versions of the Story, the Faithless
    1 In G​ oethe’s Faust,​ unlike the earlier versions of the story, the faithless sinner that is Faust receives grace and goes to Heaven, rather than being thrown to the fires of Hell. Faust’s redemption is contrary to every other redemption in every other story we have read up till now. Faust wasn’t asking forgiveness from God, unlike his beloved Margaret, and so many others before him. Faust doesn’t seem even to believe in the all mighty, even when directly talking to the Devil himself. Yet, in the end, Mephisto’s plot is foiled, Faust’s soul is not cast into the inferno, but raised to paradise. Goethe has Faust receive a secular salvation, through Faust’s actions rather than through his belief. Goethe shows both the importance of action versus words, and Faust’s familiarity with the Bible, with Faust’s translation of Logos, “It says: ‘In the beginning was the W​ ord… I​ write: In the beginning was the A​ct.” (​G​ oethe's Faust,​ line 1224, 1237) Here, Faust demonstrates a clear understanding of a theological problem, the importance of a single word within the Bible. Having Logos translated as “the Word” has many more different implications than if it means “the Act”. The Act would imply the creation of everything was a direct application of Gods will. He did not need to say for something happen, God did something to put the universe in motion by action alone. Goethe includes this translation of Logos, as the Act instead of the Word, for several reasons.

Dabei verändert der ursprüngliche Stoff sowohl seinen Charakter als auch seine Aussage. Schaubild der Faust-Opern Die „Historia von Dr. Faust“ von 1587 entspricht ganz dem christlichen Geist der Epoche. Doktor Faust gilt als Inbegriff eines hybriden Gelehrten, der über das dem Menschen zugestandene Maß an Gelehrsamkeit und Erkenntnis hinausstrebt und zu diesem Zweck einen Pakt mit dem Teufel abschließt.

  • A Discussion of Goethe's Faust Part 1 Rafael Sordili, Concordia University
    Sordili: Nothingness on the Move Sordili 1 Nothingness on the Move: A Discussion of Goethe's Faust Part 1 Rafael Sordili, Concordia University (Editor's note: Rafael Sordili's paper was selected for publication in the 2013 Agora because it was one of the best three presented at the ACTC Student Conference at Shimer College in Chicago in March 2013.) In the world inhabited by Faust, movement is a metaphysical fact: it is an expression of divine will over creation. There are, however, negative consequences to an existence governed by motion. The most prevalent of them is a feeling of nothingness and nihilism. This essay will discuss the relations between movement and such feelings in Goethe's Faust.1 It is my thesis that the assertion of his will to life, the acceptance of his own limitations, and the creation of new personal values are the tools that will ultimately enable Faust to escape nihilism. Metaphysics of Motion Faust lives in a world in which motion is the main force behind existence. During the Prologue in Heaven, three archangels give speeches in praise of the Creator, emphasizing how the world is in a constant state of movement. Raphael states that the movement of the Sun is a form of worship: "The sun proclaims its old devotion / [. .] / and still completes in thunderous motion / the circuits of its destined years" (246-248). For Gabriel, the rotation of the earth brings movement to all the elements upon its surface: "High cliffs stand deep in ocean weather, / wide foaming waves flood out and in, / and cliffs and seas rush on together / caught in the globe's unceasing spin" (251-258).

  • On the Occasion of His Fifth Solo Exhibition at Galerie Buchholz, Artist Julian Göthe Presents a New Group of Sculptures and Works on Paper
    Finding the radical illusion or “la chasse magique” On the occasion of his fifth solo exhibition at Galerie Buchholz, artist Julian Göthe presents a new group of sculptures and works on paper. The currents that must have inspired these works are as hard to intercept as they are impossible to list. “A lion made of assimilated sheep”, this is perhaps how Paul Valéry would call Göthe's oevre, having delicately fed on and digested so many inspirational references. Only clue that the artist provides is in the exhibition's title, which is also the title of a song by British musician Colin Newman – Their Terrain is track number one on the album Commercial Suicide, 1986. The last verse reads: After this, what next could be a question? Build the megalith again As for history we may be on a winner Or the chorus, it's a shame The parodic charge of Göthe's work finds here another fortunate momentum, a distinctly sardonic laughter permeates the rooms: objects become strange, undefinable “attractors.” It is with them that Göthe touches the limit of his aesthetic adventure – which is also the end of the adventure of representation. Göthe's megaliths actually resemble a Saint Laurent bow-tie; the twin sculptures could almost be a tart refraction of a Giorgio De Chirico sketch for the Faust (I'm thinking in particular of a drawing where Mephistopheles is portrayed as wearing a blond wig, and an explosive set of ostrich feathers seems to have set his hat on fire). The practice of the DeChirichian transvestment can be related to Göthe's also for its dissimulatingly serious aspect.

  • Jacob Bidermann: Cenodoxus (1602, 1635)
    1 Jacob Bidermann: Cenodoxus (1602, 1635) Jakob Bidermann (1578-1639) mit seiner Comico-Tragoedia „Cenodoxus. Der Doktor von Paris“ (1602, 1635 aus dem Lateinischen ins Deutsche übersetzt). Die Wirkung des lateinischen Jesuitendramas auf die Zuschauer soll so überwältigend gewesen sein, dass „nicht 100 Predigten eine solche Wirkung“ hätten erzielen können, 14 Hofleute hätten spontan dem Leben entsagt. Bidermann, der wichtigste Vertreter des Jesuitendramas im deutschsprachigen Raum, hat einige erfolgreiche Theaterstücke geschrieben, von denen wir gerade noch die Titel aus der Literaturgeschichte kennen, deren Themen aber viel aussagen über die Themen der 1. Hälfte des 17. Jahrhunderts: „Herodiados“, „Josaphat“ und „Jacobus usurarius“. Herodes als der Kindermörder von Bethlehem ist ein ebenso beliebter Stoff wie Herodes als Ehemann und Tyrann. Prinz Josaphat ist der Sohn des Buddha. Der Eremit Barlaam bekehrt ihn zum Christentum; er, Josaphat, seinen Vater auch. Als Prinz verzichtet er auf sein Königreich. Der Jacobus-Stoff gehört in die mittelalterliche literarische Tradition des Marienstoffes. Hier nimmt die katholische Gegen-reformation das durch die lutherische Reformation auf die biblische Maria reduzierte Thema wieder auf. Das Bidermannsche Drama ist Bekehrungsdrama. Bidermanns berühmtestes Theaterstück ist der lateinisch geschriebene „Cenodoxus“von 1602. Vorlage ist die Legende vom heiligen Bruno. Der heilige Bruno wird während der Seelenmesse für einen berühmten Doktor Zeuge eines Wunders. Die Leiche des Doktors erhebt sich dreimal von der Totenbahre und schreit jedesmal mit grauenvoller Stimme: „Aus gerechtem Urteil Gottes bin ich angeklagt“ und „... bin ich gerichtet“ und beim drittenmal: „Aus gerechtem Urteil Gottes bin ich verdammt“. Der Doktor heißt Cenodoxus, auf Deutsch der Ruhmsüchtige (El ávido de gloria). Nachdem Cenodoxus Wissen und Ruhm erlangt hat, will er nun Gott gleich werden.
