Hans Robert Jauss 1 Hans Robert Jauss 1 Le théoricien de la littérature Hans Robert Jauss (né en 1921 à Göppingen et décédé en 1997 à Constance) a été professeur à Münster et Giessen avant d’occuper de 1966 à 1987 la chaire de littératures romanes (Romanische Literaturen und Allgemeine Literaturwissenschaft) à l’Université de Constance, nouvellement fondée. Spécialiste de Proust, Diderot, Baudelaire, Flaubert, Perrault, il initie en 1967 avec sa leçon inaugurale (»Literaturgeschichte als Provokation der Literaturwissenschaft«) un nouveau paradigme de la critique littéraire dont l’influence sera internationale : l’esthétique de la réception. La place donnée au lecteur dans la constitution de l’œuvre d’art ne relève pas tant d’un exercice de lisibilité que d’un déplacement du point de vue sur le texte. Avec Wolfgang Iser et Hans Blumenberg, Jauss a été l’un des fondateurs de l’influent groupe de recherche « Poetik und Hermeneutik ». De nombreuses invitations dans des universités étrangères et sa nomination comme membre de l’Académie des Sciences de Heidelberg, de l’Academia Europaea, de l’Accademia dei Lincei à Rome et de l’Académie des Sciences en Hongrie témoignent de sa réputation internationale. Ce n’est qu’en 1995 que le romaniste américain Jeffrey Richard révèle que Jauss avait rejoint en 1939, à l’âge de 18 ans, la Waffen-SS à laquelle il a appartenu jusqu’à la fin de la guerre. Ces révélations, faites à une époque où le comportement des universitaires allemands face au régime nazi était au centre de l’attention publique, ont déclenché des controverses y compris entre des élèves de Jauss. 2 Der Literaturtheoretiker Hans Robert Jauß (1921 in Göppingen geboren, 1997 in Konstanz gestorben) war Professor in Münster und Gießen, bevor er von 1966 bis 1987 den Lehrstuhl für Romanische Literaturen und Allgemeine Literaturwissenschaft an der neu gegründeten Universität Konstanz übernahm. 1967 leitete der Spezialist für Proust, Diderot, Baudelaire, Flaubert und Perrault mit seiner Antrittsvorlesung ein neues Paradigma der Literaturkritik ein, das internationalen Einfluss erlangen sollte: die Rezeptionsästhetik. Der dem Leser zuteil werdende Platz bei der Herausbildung eines literarischen Werks hängt weniger von der Ausübung einer Lesbarkeit ab als von einer Verschiebung des Blickpunkts auf den Text. Neben Wolfgang Iser und Hans Blumenberg war Jauß einer der Gründer der einflussreichen Forschergruppe Poetik und Hermeneutik. Zahlreiche Gastprofessuren im Ausland und seine Nominierung zum Mitglied der Heidelberger Akademie der Wissenschaften, der Academia Europaea, der Accademia dei Trivium , 10- Lisibilité Hans Robert Jauss 2 Lincei in Rom, sowie der ungarischen Akademie der Wissenschaften zeugen von seinem internationalen Ruf. 1995 enthüllte der amerikanische Romanist Jeffrey Richard, dass Jauß 1939 im Alter von 18 Jahren der Waffen-SS beigetreten war und dieser bis Kriegsende angehört hatte. Diese Enthüllungen kamen zu einer Zeit, in der das Verhalten deutscher Akademiker gegenüber dem NS-Regime im Mittelpunkt des öffentlichen Interesses stand und lösten dementsprechend starke Kontroversen aus, auch unter Jauß‘ Schülern.

  • On Methodology in Medieval Literary Studies
    Oral Tradition, 8/1 (1993): 187-214 Alterities: On Methodology in Medieval Literary Studies Ursula Schaefer The Albert Lord and Milman Parry Lecture for 1991-1992 Prologue Medieval literary studies hold a privileged position in methodological and theoretical argumentation. The privilege is based on the limitedness of and the in-immediate access to their “material.” The latter is created by the philological barrier that virtually keeps theoretical and/or methodological intruders out. In that sense medieval literary studies potentially enjoy a sanctuary privilege: theoretical and methodological novelties may enter the sanctuary only if the philologically trained so warrant. That is, literary medievalists are very much in control of theoretical and/or methodological import because, due to their philological training, they are the only ones who can handle the “material” in the first place.1 Due to the limitedness of their material, medieval literary studies do, however, have another kind of privilege. The concept of some monolithic entity called “the Middle Ages” creates a kind of laboratory situation where new approaches/methods/theories can furnish quick results. Since the Middle Ages—or any period within it, or any ensemble of phenomena from remote periods that are made the object of research—are constructs in the mind of the scholarly beholder to begin with, the (sometimes sparse) building blocks, as it were, out of which the respective constructs are built, can more easily be shuffled about according to one’s (methodologically 1 I am excluding here the possibility of gaining access to medieval texts through modern renderings and am thus arguing within the vein of the “Old Philology.” 188 URSULA SCHAEFER geared) Erkenntnisinteresse.2 When speaking about methodology, there is yet another point that I think necessary to bring to mind.

    INTRODUCTION The second half of the twentieth century was a period marked by a tre- mendous multiplicity of discussions and innovations in historical writing and theory. A great number of fascinating authors and oeuvres, however, remain known only in the most selective fashion and are read primarily by specialists. The present study intends to examine, for the fi rst time in its entirety, the work of one such author, the German historian Reinhart Koselleck (1923–2006). Constantly probing and transgressing the boundaries of main- stream historical writing, he created numerous innovative approaches and exposed himself to a large range of impulses from other academic dis- ciplines. His writings responded to the work of German philosophers such as Martin Heidegger and Hans Georg Gadamer and of political thinkers such as Carl Schmitt. Koselleck’s thought also responded and added to the work of internationally renowned scholars such as Hayden White, Michel Foucault, and Quentin Skinner. Reinhart Koselleck entered the academic scene in the 1950s with his dissertation “Kritik und Krise” in which he traced the birth of modern political thought to the Enlightenment. He achieved his Habilitation in 1965 with the social-historical work Preußen zwischen Reform und Revolu- tion.1 Three years later he became professor in Heidelberg, where, in the so-called Arbeitskreis für moderne Sozialgeschichte, he played a key role in the development of modern German conceptual history.

    philological encounters � (�0�7) 388-40� brill.com/phen “Tout comprendre, c’est tout pardonner?” The “Case of Jauss” Ottmar Ette Universität Potsdam [email protected] Abstract Hans Robert Jauss cannot simply be excluded from the history of Romance Studies, or from the history of literary science in 20th century Germany: the attractive power of his style of thought, writing and scholarship was too profound, his machine de guerre too powerful. If the “case of Jauss” is now on its way to becoming the “paradigm of Jauss,” it is time to examine scientifically the text and work, the impact and the recep- tion of the author of Ästhetische Erfahrung und literarische Hermeneutik (“Aesthetic Experience and Literary Hermeneutics”), and to illuminate them from the perspective of Romance Studies. The considerations put forth in this essay should in no way dimin- ish the undeniable merits of the founder of “Reader-response criticism”. With him and with his words, one may surely hold on to the hope that “the triadic relationship of technology, communication, and world view” can be brought “once more into equilib- rium.” Hans Robert Jauss—to use the words of Jorge Semprún—traveled the very short, and at the same time very long, path from Buchenwald to Weimar: a path that first led him into the most abysmal, reprehensible, and rational form of human barba- rism, which he wished to leave behind him as quickly as possible after the end of the war. His path to Weimar, as the symbol of a “refined” western culture, was extremely short: indeed, all too short.

    9. Hans Robert Jauss1 [1 The key for Jauss citations is: AL: Aesthetic Experience and Literary Hermeneutics (1982a); EH: Ästhetische Erfahrung und literarische Hermeneutik (1982b); and TAR: Toward an Aesthetic of Reception (1982c). Though due to the processes of compilation and translation, these works were all published in the same year, there were originally of very diverse date. EH is a much revised and expanded German version of AL, the original of which appeared in 1977. All quotes frorn EH are my translation. I occasionally amended the translations in the English books. Inconsistencies between AL and TAR (e.g., "aesthesis” vs. “aisthesis") were resolved.’ Hans Robert Jauss has drafted an ambitious new program for literary history. That discipline has been in “a steady decline” during “the last one hundred and fifty years” and is “now drained of all exemplary scholarly character” (TAR 3, 49). Historians would “arrange” the “materials unilinearly according to the chronology of great authors” or situate “the individual work in a chronological series” formed by some “general tendency" or “genre" (TAR 4). “The authors” biography and the evaluation of their oeuvre pop up in some accidental spot." The weaknesses are plain: “the development of genres" gets “dismembered”; “the presentation" of “closed periods" in a “closed past” stays “one to two generations behind" the “standpoint of the present time"; “the research into tradition neutralizes the lived praxis of history”; and so on (TAR 4f, 7, 9). Indeed, “the form of literary history sanctioned by the historian is conceivably the worst medium” to “display the historicity of literature” (TAR 51).

  • Locating Reader Response Theory in Jauss's Literary History As A
    Locating Reader Response Theory in Jauss’s Literary History as a Challenge to Literary Theory Raj Gaurav Verma, M.A., Ph.D. Research Scholar ================================================================ Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 Vol. 13:5 May 2013 ================================================================== Abstract Hans-Robert Jauss is known for his theory of “Reception” that began in Germany. Twentieth century unfolded multiple aspects to look at literature within the critical framework of theories. Development of Structuralism by Ferdinand de Saussure, later developed and critiqued by Jacques Derrida’s Deconstruction, and then Formalism and New Criticism- all paved the way to shift the critical focus from the text and the author to the reader. Prior to twentieth century things were supposed to be fixed and certain, that’s why reader was not taken into account, but there was always a reader / audience. Consequently owing to the variety of readers there emerged different theories that focused on readers and how a reader responds to a particular text. Reader-Response theory has its notion grounded in Phenomenology and Hermeneutics. Against this background we have the development of Reception theory by Hans-Georg Gadamar and Hans Robert Jauss. Here we will focus on the “seven thesis” that Jauss gave in his monumental essay “Literary History as a Challenge to Literary Theory” which appeared in Towards an Aesthetics of Reception (1982). Reception theory as proposed by Jauss points at the relationship of text and reader which has two aspects: historical and aesthetics. Thus the long neglected reader comes to the forefront in reader-response theory. The text is left at the hands of the reader to receive its fate.

  • Poiesis, Aesthesis, and Catharsis: the Aesthetic Experience of Reading “The Day of the Lord” with the Fathers
    Poiesis, Aesthesis, and Catharsis: The Aesthetic Experience of Reading “the Day of the Lord” with the Fathers Andrew Talbert It only seems appropriate in a volume dedicated to reception history that we interact, even if only briefly, with the essential founder of this approach to liter- ature, Hans Robert Jauss. Though a well-published scholar with a meticulously detailed hermeneutical methodology for reception history that he described as an “Aesthetic of Reception” (Rezeptionsästhetik), this article concentrates on only a minute, yet crucial element of his hermeneutic: the aesthetic experi- ence. From this basic concept, we will expand briefly outward into the larger interpretive endeavor, gleaning insights from the relationship of one’s initial response to a text, in the case of this article 2Thess 1:6–10, to the historical reading of the same by a select sample of the Church Fathers. It is hoped that this exploration of reception history should reveal the dimensions of biblical meaning and encourage stronger ties between the theological disciplines of (at least) biblical studies and Church history. Before proceeding to a discus- sion of the aesthetic experience and its outflow, an abridged biography of Jauss will familiarise readers with this literary theorist, whom the English-speaking world recognises less frequently than his colleague, Wolfgang Iser. Following the Second World War, Jauss nurtured a burgeoning interest in both medieval literature and Marcel Proust. He was fortunate to associate with Hans-Georg Gadamer at Heidelberg and, following his studies, Jauss eventually took part in the founding of the University of Konstanz in 1966 and was asso- ciated with the university until his death in 1997.
