This open-access book is the first to investigate the roots of
Logical Empiricism in the context of the Life Reform and the German
Youth Movements. Rudolf Carnap and Hans Reichenbach are the key
protagonists; they both belonged to the German Youth Movement and
developed their early philosophical views in this setting. By
combining scholarly essays with unpublished and hard to access
manuscripts, letters, and articles, this volume recasts our
understanding of the early years of Logical Empiricism.
Demonstrates, contrary to conventional wisdom, that European
modernism developed not only in the great metropolitan centers, but
also in provincial cities such as Jena. The conventional wisdom is
that the cultural sea change that was European modernism arose in
urban centers like Berlin, Paris, Munich, and Vienna. Meike G.
Werner's book, now in English translation, is a study of modernism
in the provinces. Taking the small provincial city of Jena as a
paradigmatic case, it re-creates the very different social and
intellectual framework in which modernist experimentation occurred
beyond the metropolitan centers. Invented traditions, social and
spatial "liminality," and new ideas of social and aesthetic
transformation combined in Jena to create a unique moment of
cultural innovation. In the years leading up to the First World
War, the Jena publisher Eugen Diederichs envisioned and guided the
development of this alternative modernism. Taken up by young
writers including Diederichs's wife Helene Voigt-Diederichs,
numerous intellectual outsiders from across Germany, Austria, and
Switzerland, and members of the Free Student movement and of Jena's
Sera Circle, this "other" modernism was above all a youth movement,
full of energy and bold optimism. Figures such as Rudolf Carnap,
Wilhelm Flitner, Hans Freyer, Karl Korsch, and Elisabeth
Busse-Wilson emerged from this Jena paradigm. Werner pieces
together the story of Jena's modernism in its full richness,
complexity, and inner contradictions.

Volume 29 features articles on Anton Reiser; the legacies of German
romanticism; Goethe's morphology and computational analysis; Goethe
commemorations in Argentina; and Goethe's Weltliteratur in the
context of trade with China, along with two special sections and
the book review. Volume 29 features articles on Anton Reiser; the
legacies and myths of German romanticism; Goethe's morphology as
antecedent to computational analysis; on Goethe commemorations in
Argentina; and a reconsideration of Goethe's Weltliteratur in the
context of Handelsverkehr (trade) with China. Additionally, volume
29 features two special sections. The first commemorates an
anniversary, Hoelderlin's 250th birthday, with work devoted to
"Reading and Exhibiting," compiled by Meike Werner. The other
special section, on movement and edited by Heidi Schlipphacke,
further explores research featured at MLA 2021 and revisits many
questions of sentimentalism, visuality, and narration that are at
the core of canon formation and eighteenth-century thresholds of
modernity. As always, the book review section, edited by Sean
Franzel, concludes the volume.
Proceedings of the Brandeis conference on Jewish Germanists who
fled Nazi Germany and their impact on Anglo-American German
studies. Among the Jewish academics and intellectuals expelled from
Germany and Austria during the Nazi era were many specialists in
German literature. Strangely, their impact on the practice of
Germanistik in the United States, England, and Canada has been
given little attention. Who were they? Did their vision of German
literature and culture differ significantly from that of those who
remained in their former homeland? What problems did they face in
theAmerican and British academic settings? Above all, how did they
help shape German studies in the postwar era? This unique and
important symposium, which convened at Brandeis University under
the auspices of its Center for Germanand European Studies,
addresses these and many other questions. Among its distinguished
participants--who numbered over thirty in all--are Peter Demetz
(Yale, emeritus), Gesa Dane (Goettingen), Amir Eshel (Stanford),
Willi Goetschel (Toronto), Barbara Hahn (Princeton), Susanne
Klingenstein (MIT), Christoph Koenig (Deutsches Literaturarchiv,
Marbach), Ritchie Robertson (Oxford), Egon Schwarz (Washington
University St. Louis, emeritus), Hinrich Seeba (UC Berkeley),
Walter Sokel (University of Virginia, emeritus), Frank Trommler
(University of Pennsylvania), and many more. The volume includes
not only the (revised) essays of the participants but also their
prepared responses, transcripts of the panel discussion, and
dialogue of the participants with members of the audience. Stephen
D. Dowden is professor of German at Brandeis University; Meike G.
Werner is assistant professor of German at Vanderbilt University.
