While there are publications on Wittgenstein's interest in
Dostoevsky's novels and the recurring mentions of Wittgenstein in
Sebald's works, there has been no systematic scholarship on the
relation between perception (such as showing and pictures) and the
problem of an adequate presentation of interiority (such as
intentions or pain) for these three thinkers.This relation is
important in Wittgenstein's treatment of the subject and in his
private language argument, but it is also an often overlooked motif
in both Dostoevsky's and Sebald's works. Dostoevsky's depiction of
mindset discrepancies in a rapidly modernizing Russia can be
analyzed interms of multi-aspectivity. The theatricality of his
characters demonstrates especially well Wittgenstein's account of
interiority's interrelatedness with overt public practices and
codes. In Sebald's Austerlitz, Wittgenstein's notion of family
resemblances is an aesthetic strategy within the novel. Visual
tropes are most obviously present in Sebald's use of photography,
and can partially be read as an ethical-aesthetic imperative of
rendering pain visible. Tea Lobo's book contributes towards a
non-Cartesian account of literary presentations of inner life based
on Wittgenstein's thought.
