COURSE OUTLINE : GRMN 012 Last Revised and Approved: 10/23/2008 CURRICULUM Subject Code and Course Number: GRMN 012 Division : Languages Course Title : GERMAN LITERATURE IN TRANSLATION Summarize the need/purpose/reason for this proposal German 12 appeals to the general college population as well as students already enrolled in German language classes. Since the German program cannot offer literature courses in German at this point, reading major works in translation is the next best thing. Furthermore, a survey of German literary movements enhances students' understanding of the history and culture of the German-speaking countries and complements the popular German Civilization course. Beyond that, studying works of German literature that represent different historical periods and cultural contexts will challenge students to analyze broader issues and ideas and make connections with global themes addressed in other courses in the Languages, English, and Social Sciences Divisions. Finally, Literature in Translation is already well established in the Languages Division in these foreign language classes: Chinese 12, Japanese 12, Spanish 12, and Italian 12.

    Awardee: Fuad Rifka Poet, Philosopher

    Awardee: Fuad Rifka Poet, Philosopher, Translator The Lebanese poet, philosopher and translator Fuad Rifka has translated pivotal works of German poetry by Goethe, Hölderlin, Novalis, Rilke and Trakl into Arabic. His encounter with German culture and philosophy had tangible impacts on his own works of poetry. Fuad Rifka is being awarded the Goethe Medal for his impressive life’s work as a translator. Fuad Rifka’s passionate interest in German poets and thinkers began with a coincidental discovery at the Goethe-Institut Beirut more than forty years ago. It was there that Rifka found an English edition of Rainer Maria Rilke’s Duino Elegies. This volume of poetry made a lasting impression on him and awakened his desire to translate German poetry into Arabic, “to make it accessible to the entire Arabic world.” He was the first to translate Rilke’s poems directly from his mother tongue into Arabic without detours via English or French translations. Fuad Rifka was born in Syria in 1930. In the 1940s his family moved to Lebanon. He studied philosophy in Beirut and in 1965 completed his doctorate in Tübingen on the aesthetic of Martin Heidegger with a scholarship from the DAAD. When he returned to Lebanon he taught philosophy at the Lebanese American University Beirut from 1966 until 2005. German philosophers always had a fixed place in his syllabus. A number of teaching and research opportunities took Rifka to the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy and Germany. Fuad Rifka was a founding member of the Lebanese avant-garde poetry journal Shi’r (Poetry), which aimed to revolutionize traditional Arabic verse and move towards freer, experimental poetry.

  • Novalis's Magical Idealism

    Novalis's Magical Idealism

    Symphilosophie International Journal of Philosophical Romanticism Novalis’s Magical Idealism A Threefold Philosophy of the Imagination, Love and Medicine Laure Cahen-Maurel* ABSTRACT This article argues that Novalis’s philosophy of magical idealism essentially consists of three central elements: a theory of the creative or productive imagination, a conception of love, and a doctrine of transcendental medicine. In this regard, it synthesizes two adjacent, but divergent contemporary philosophical sources – J. G. Fichte’s idealism and Friedrich Schiller’s classicism – into a new and original philosophy. It demonstrates that Novalis’s views on both magic and idealism, not only prove to be perfectly rational and comprehensible, but even more philosophically coherent and innovative than have been recognised up to now. Keywords: magical idealism, productive imagination, love, medicine, Novalis, J. G. Fichte, Schiller RÉSUMÉ Cet article défend l’idée selon laquelle trois éléments centraux composent ce que Novalis nomme « idéalisme magique » pour désigner sa philosophie propre : la conception d’une imagination créatrice ou productrice, une doctrine de l’amour et une théorie de la médecine transcendantale. L’idéalisme magique est en cela la synthèse en une philosophie nouvelle et originale de deux sources philosophiques contemporaines, à la fois adjacentes et divergentes : l’idéalisme de J. G. Fichte et le classicisme de Friedrich Schiller. L’article montre que les vues de Novalis tant sur la magie que sur l’idéalisme sont non seulement réellement rationnelles et compréhensibles, mais philosophiquement plus cohérentes et novatrices qu’on ne l’a admis jusqu’à présent. Mots-clés : idéalisme magique, imagination productrice, amour, médecine, Novalis, J. G.

    Critical Responsei. Paratext and Genre System: a Response to Franco Moretti

    Critical Response I Paratext and Genre System: A Response to Franco Moretti Katie Trumpener In the 1970s, as a teenage browser in West Germany’s remarkably well- stocked bookstores, I noted with astonishment that many German title pages included generic designations. German plays old and new tended to announce their dramatic status in idiosyncratic subtitles that seemed to push at the limits of the genre, even question the possibility of theater itself: Friedrich Schiller, Don Carlos. Infant of Spain. A Dramatic Poem (1783–87); O¨ do¨n von Horva´th, Faith, Love, Hope: A Little Dance of Death in Five Acts (1932); Wolfgang Borchert, Outside the Door: A Play No Theater Wants to Perform and No Public Wants to See (1947); Peter Weiss, The Investigation. An Oratorio in Five Songs (1965). Works in hybrid, documentary genres often had equally idiosyncratic subtitles; East German poet Sarah Kirsch named her 1975 oral history The Panther Woman. Five Unkempt Tales from the Tape Recorder. More occasionally, a work of fiction used its subtitle to play tricks on its reader. Robert Walser published his 1908 novel, for instance, as Jakob von Gunten. A Diary (although the work that follows is not exactly a fictional diary either). Yet most books of prose fiction and of poetry, I found, bore accurate if rudimentary generic designations: Heinrich Bo¨ll’s The Bread of the Early Years. Narrative (1955); Gu¨nther Grass’s The Tin Drum. Novel (1959); Reiner Kunze’s with the volume turned down. poems (1972); Karin Struck’s Class Love. Novel (1973).

    Friedrich Schiller - Poems

    Classic Poetry Series Friedrich Schiller - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Friedrich Schiller(10 November 1759 – 9 May 1805) Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller was a German poet, philosopher, historian, and playwright. During the last seventeen years of his life, Schiller struck up a productive, if complicated, friendship with already famous and influential <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/johann-wolfgang-von- goethe/">Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe</a>. They frequently discussed issues concerning aesthetics, and Schiller encouraged Goethe to finish works he left as sketches. This relationship and these discussions led to a period now referred to as Weimar Classicism. They also worked together on Xenien, a collection of short satirical poems in which both Schiller and Goethe challenge opponents to their philosophical vision. <b>Life</b> Friedrich Schiller was born on 10 November 1759, in Marbach, Württemberg as the only son of military doctor Johann Kaspar Schiller (1733–96), and Elisabeth Dorothea Kodweiß (1732–1802). They also had five daughters. His father was away in the Seven Years' War when Friedrich was born. He was named after king Frederick the Great, but he was called Fritz by nearly everyone. Kaspar Schiller was rarely home during the war, but he did manage to visit the family once in a while. His wife and children also visited him occasionally wherever he happened to be stationed. When the war ended in 1763, Schiller's father became a recruiting officer and was stationed in Schwäbisch Gmünd. The family moved with him. Due to the high cost of living—especially the rent—the family moved to nearby Lorch.

  • SCHILLER, NOVALIS, and the CONCEPT of AUFHEBUNG Hammam Aldouri

    SCHILLER, NOVALIS, and the CONCEPT of AUFHEBUNG Hammam Aldouri

    Cosmos and History: The Journal of Natural and Social Philosophy, vol. 15, no. 1, 2019 BEFORE HEGEL: SCHILLER, NOVALIS, AND THE CONCEPT OF AUFHEBUNG Hammam Aldouri ABSTRACT: Philosophical explorations of the concept of Aufhebung (sublation, supersession) immediately prior to its formulation in Hegel’s work have remained relatively absent within the context of both Hegel scholarship and German Idealism studies. Hegel is often simply represented as the originator of the concept and the latter is understood almost exclusively within his oeuvre. This essay addresses this lack by offering an exposition of the notion as it unfolds in two works from 1795-1796: Friedrich Schiller’s Letters on the Aesthetic Education of Man and Novalis’ Fichte Studies. In these works, we find distinctive examinations of Aufhebung understood as the name of a process in which a subject comprehends itself in relation to its own processual development. My guiding premise is that without an adequate comprehension of the way in which Aufhebung is constructed and comprehended in the last years of the eighteenth century, we cannot establish the vantage point from which to reconstruct Hegel’s early conception of the notion, a conception which begins to emerge in his earliest Frankfurt writings in 1797, as a contribution to the constellation of post-Kantian conceptions. Keywords: Aufhebung, Schiller, Novalis, Aesthetic Education, Fichte Studies INTRODUCTION The concept of Aufhebung (sublation, supersession) is, without question, one of the most contested and discussed concepts of Hegel’s philosophical enterprise th th 1 and its critical reception in the 19 and 20 centuries. One distinctive 1 So much so, in fact, that it has led philosopher’s such as Jean-Luc Nancy to state that there is “no great study of Hegel that is not a study on the Aufhebung.” Nancy 2001, 158n7.
