Every moment represents eternity Goethe s words poignantly capture
the nuances and special complexity of the term moment. It can refer
to such varied notions as ecstasy, empty presence, and epiphany.
This volume examines the semantic richness of the moment using
paradigmatic examples from Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese,
and Brazilian poetry from their beginnings to the modern era."
The studies show the extent to which love poems/songs by well-known
medieval authors display links with supra-individual discourse
conventions of the age in which they materialized. Central
reference is made to Old Occitan troubadour songs of the 12th and
early 13th centuries and Old Italian texts from the 13th and 14th
centuries (notably by Giacomo di Lentini, Dante, and Petrarch). The
comparison traces the gradual emergence of a lyrical 'I' reflecting
the knowledge of the age and thus in a position to inquire into its
own role. At all points in this development, poetry is seen to
engage vigorously with the central epistemes of the dominant
discourse forms, notably theology and philosophy.
Im 20. Jahrhundert werden verstarkt abstrakte literarische Texte
erzeugt, die als semiotische Angebote komponiert sind. Die
Generierung der semantischen Dimension des Textes wird dabei in
unterschiedlichem Masse an den Leser delegiert, und zwar im Sinne
nicht abschliessbarer, auf semiotischen Strukturen basierender
Interpretationsprozesse oder der Generierung von literarischen
Texten, die der Autor dem Leser in Form von potenziellen Texten
oder Textangeboten bereitgestellt hat. Dieser Band verfolgt das
Ziel, den literarischen Text im 20. Jahrhundert als Herausforderung
und zugleich als Provokation zur Sinnproduktion fur den Leser zu
erfassen und an mustergultigen Fallstudien aus dem gesamten Bereich
der Romania und dem gesamten Bereich der Literatur zu erlautern.
19th century French literature is notable for the effects of the
contemporary fashion for orientalism. This fashion was greatly
encouraged by Napoleon's expedition to Egypt, which inspired many
scholars and artists to make as complete a record as they could of
the natural and cultural features of that country, both in
pictorial and verbal form. A large number of authors were
fascinated by the exoticism of the Orient. Their literary treatment
of the subject frequently spawned an engagement with
contemporaneous erosive tendencies in their own culture.
