    Studia theodisca ISSN 2385-2917 Maurizio Pirro (Bari) «Wenn sich nach dem Werther die Leute totschießen, so ist das Buch gut; wenn sie auf andere schießen, besser»* L’arte come pratica di costruzione del futuro in Ludwig Rubiner Abstract Both as essay writer and poet Ludwig Rubiner (1881-1920) focuses on art as a revolution- ary practice. He conceives critical understanding of reality as a first step in a radical change of social conditions, which can be seen as the result of an artist’s specific attitude in evoking new worlds. This implies that only a non-realistic art can be politically successful, because it refers to a future horizon without restricting itself to describing the political situation of the time. In this paper, I analyze Rubiner’s strongly utopic art concept involving some typical categories of expressionistic literature like “Geist”, “Gemeinschaft”, “Katastrophe”. Bisognerà decidersi a emancipare una volta per tutte la storiografia della “Klassische Moderne” dall’alternativa tra simbolismo ed espressionismo. Al di là di alcuni comuni presupposti poetologici (primo fra tutti l’idea che le pratiche estetiche abbiano la funzione di ricucire la frattura tra il mondo e le forme della sua percezione, riassorbendo attraverso complessi rituali di invenzione lo spazio vuoto tra la superficie della realtà e il livello di verità profonda nascosto sotto quella superficie), è la natura stessa del campo let- terario di lingua tedesca nel primo ventennio del Novecento a rendere vana e inservibile una divisione netta tra i due movimenti.

    Even Objects Revolt Against Regimentation: Art and Censorship in Post-WWI Germany and the Rise of Dadaism. A Thesis and Film. by NICOLE MOWERY A THESIS Presented to the Department of Music and the Robert D. Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science May 2021 An Abstract of the Thesis of Nicole for the degree of Bachelor of Science in the Department of Music to be taken June 2021 Title: Even Objects Revolt Against Regimentation: Art and Censorship in Post-WWI Germany and the Rise of Dadaism. A Film and Thesis Approved: _____Dr. Arnaud Ghillebaert_______ Primary Thesis Advisor This thesis consists of three parts: this essay, a film called Trumancy based on Hans Richter’s Dadaist film Ghosts Before Breakfast, and a performance recording of Paul Hindemith’s Op. 25, No. 1 to be used as the score for Trumancy. Both Richter and Hindemith had their works censored and destroyed by the Nazi party, including Ghosts Before Breakfast, implying that their work was in some way influential socially or politically. To better understand why the film was perceived as a threat to the Nazi party, and to accurately represent and reimagine Richter’s Dadaist intentions in Trumancy, it was necessary to research the historical context in which Dadaism was active and Ghosts Before Breakfast were created to better understand the symbolism of Richter and Hindemith’s work. This first portion essay examines the social and political environment of Germany during Richter and Hindemith’s lives, how politics and social issues intersected with their work, and why the Nazis censored Ghosts Before Breakfast.

  • The Author As Traitor
    10 2004 The Author as Traitor Gerald Raunig Translated by Aileen Derieg "It is hard to be a traitor, it is a creative act. It requires relinquishing one's identity, losing face. One must vanish from the picture, remain unrecognized." (Gilles Deleuze/Claire Parnet)[1] Walter Benjamin's essay "The Author as Producer" is an attack on the "leftist bourgeois intelligentsia" in Germany of the 1920s and early 1930s. Its primary targets were the Neue Sachlichkeit[2] and a movement from the 1910s that has been largely forgotten in German-speaking countries, but whose name sounds surprisingly up-to-date today: the name "Activism" was applied to a discourse in the shadow of Expressionism[3] marked by literature and literary criticism and the loose association of mostly men of letters affiliated with it. This included, for certain periods of their work, such diverse authors as Heinrich Mann, Gustav Landauer, Max Brod and Ernst Bloch. The circle affiliated with the publicist Kurt Hiller had been developing since 1910, specifically under the label "Activism" after 1914. Although Hiller and his circle are hardly remembered today, in 1934 Benjamin could be certain that the figure of Hiller and the associated positions would still be familiar to his recipients. Especially the abusive diatribes and mockery on the part of the Berliner Dadaists against the "Activists" were characterized by a remarkable vehemence around 1920 and probably still remembered in the mid-1930s due to their verbal brutality.[4] In "Author as Producer" Benjamin presents Hiller, as the "theoretician of activism", as a classic example of a purportedly leftist intellectual tendency that was actually counter-revolutionary.

Para Tina minha paciente companheira das batalhas diárias Ao Juan e ao Leon por me ensinarem diariamente esta lição de poesia: estranhar, sempre, o óbvio.

À Tina, que me acompanhou ao longo de toda minha trajetória acadêmica, que pacientemente me escutou, me aconselhou, me apoiou incondicionalmente, e que nos momentos mais difíceis sempre esteve a meu lado.
