Wilhelm Dilthey eroeffnete der Biographieforschung bei aller Skepsis gegenuber ihrer Fahigkeit zu wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnis geradezu einen Koenigsweg zu einer Koenigsdisziplin. Seine Frage - "Das Individuum ist nur der Kreuzungspunkt fur Kultursysteme, Organisationen, in die sein Dasein verwoben ist: wie koennten sie aus ihm verstanden werden?" - fuhrt ins Zentrum gegenwartiger Debatten. Der Band bundelt und reflektiert erstmals die fur eine Theorie der Biographie entscheidenden Fragen: Es geht um die Spannung zwischen biographischer Evidenz und Konstruktion, um die gleichzeitige An- und Abwesenheit des erinnerten, beschriebenen, begehrten oder erforschten Objekts. Die Kapitel thematisieren das Verhaltnis zwischen Biographie und Geschlecht, Biographie und Medialitat, Biographie und Gesellschaft. Kulturell gepragte Vorstellungen von Entwicklung und Ganzheit motivieren biographische Erzahlungen, und sie sind an der Konstruktion jenes Rahmens beteiligt, in dem die "eigene Biographie" ihre lebenspraktische Bedeutung gewinnt. Zwischen dem Druck der sozialen Wirklichkeit und der Herstellung von Identitat im Sprechen, Handeln und Schreiben, im gestischen, stimmlichen und physiognomischen Ausdruck entsteht ein Spielraum des Biographischen, der von den Wissenschaften ausgemessen und von der Kunst erweitert wird.

Studies of one of the foremost 20c Austrian writers, as a critic and as a novelist and dramatist. The Austrian novelist Hermann Broch ranks with Kafka and Musil among the three greatest 20th-century Austrian novelists and belongs to the century's most gifted novelists in German from whatever country. He established his reputation with The Sleepwalkers, a trilogy of political and philosophical novels. His best-known work is The Death of Virgil, a long, challenging work in a lyrical, exuberant, and sometimes nearly incomprehensible style, akind of cerebral stream-of-consciousness of the dying Virgil. Broch also wrote extensively about modern art and architecture, Hofmannsthal, and mass psychology. He has a special connection to Yale, as he lived the last years of his life there after having escaped Austria in 1938. The participants in the Yale Symposium of April 2001 are among the world's most prominent Broch scholars. Fourteen of their presentations have been extensively revised for this volume, which focuses on Broch as critic and as novelist and dramatist. Topics include Broch's views on kitsch and art, and on drama; his cultural criticism; his cooperation with Borgese and Arendt; his theory of mass psychology; history in his works, Ernst Kretschmer's influence on him; Virgil and Celan's Atemwende; Jean Starr Untermeyer's translation of Virgil; guilt and the fall in Those without Guilt; and Broch reception in Japan. Paul Michael Lutzeler is Distinguished University Professor of German at Washington University St. Louis and editor of Broch's collected works. MATTHIAS KONZETT is associate professor of German at Yale; WILLY RIEMER is associate professor of German at the University of Delaware, and CHRISTA SAMMONS is curator of the German collections of the Beinecke Library at Yale.
