Hardly anything has been more influential in forming the modern era
s definition of itself than its position in relation to the
pre-modern . That is why medieval reception is not just a secondary
effect of the echo of medieval texts or topics but itself
constitutes a central area of discourse on the formation of
cultural identity by individuals and cultural systems. In a
historical journey from humanism up to the present and from Jorg
Wickram to Dan Brown, this volume considers basic questions on the
forms and functions of medieval reception the cultures of reception
between canon and pop culture."
Georg Philipp Harsdorffer? lawyer, scholar and mathematician,
patrician, diplomat and judge ? has in recent decades become one of
the most studied Baroque authors. His work had a distinct
international orientation and encompassed nearly all areas of 17th
century knowledge. It thus became the fulcrum for the European
literary relationships and discourse of his age. The book documents
this from the humanistic prerequisites to the ?last things of
religion."
Das "Kollektivwesen Mensch" hat die literarische Imagination und
das intellektuelle Verantwortungsbewusstsein Alfred Doeblins bis an
die Grenzen der Sprache herausgefordert. Der Schriftstellerarzt
verfolgte das Phanomen der Masse im Leben der Grossstadte, in den
Weltkriegen und in globalen Migrationsbewegungen. Es motiviert die
exuberanten Textmassen seiner Romane ebenso wie seine
experimentierfreudigen Feuilletons, Radio- und Filmtexte, die auf
ein Massenpublikum hin angelegt sind. Die "richtige Einstellung auf
die Masse" wurde ihm zu Problem und Aufgabe neuer literarischer
Reprasentationsformen und einer medialen Massenbildung. Der Band
dokumentiert das 18. Internationale Alfred-Doeblin-Kolloquium, das
2011 zum Thema "Massen und Medien bei Alfred Doeblin" in Berlin
tagte und auch fur den Massendiskurs einschlagige Autoren wie Ernst
Toller und Hans Fallada berucksichtigte.
