  1. "A clamor for miracles"? : Max Reinhardt, G. B. Shaw und das numinose Staunen im englischen Drama und Theater der literarischen Moderne

    Auch wenn in der Nachfolge der Aufklärung sowie mit dem Siegeszug der modernen Naturwissenschaften eine Verlustgeschichte des Transzendenzwunders geschrieben wurde und Max Weber in seinem vielzitierten Diktum von 1917 die moderne Welt als 'entzaubert' deklarierte, entpuppte sich das vermeintlich vormoderne Phänomen des Wunders in der literarischen Moderne als Reflexionsgegenstand verschiedener Fachdisziplinen. Gleichzeitig erlebte das Wunder im Drama und Theater der Moderne eine Renaissance: Jener "clamor for miracles", so George Bernard Shaw in seinem Vorwort zu 'Androcles and the Lion', wird im zweiten Jahrzehnt des 20. Jahrhunderts in England nicht nur diskursiv verhandelt, sondern für das Publikum durchaus bühnenwirksam eingesetzt, wie ich im Folgenden erläutern möchte.

  3. 'Novel-seeming goods': rereading Salman Rushdie's 'Midnight's Children' and Patrick Süskind's 'Das Parfum' 40 years later

    Jameson argues that in 'a society bereft of all historicity', 'what used to be the historical novel can no longer set out to represent the historical past'. The 'postmodern fate' of the historical novel is to be forced to come to terms with 'a new and original historical situation in which we are condemned to seek History by way of our own pop images and simulacra of that history, which itself remains forever out of reach. Salman Rushdie's "Midnight's Children" (1981) and Patrick Süskind's "Das Parfum. Die Geschichte eines Mörders" (1984) stand out as two hugely successful novels from this period that raise questions about historical representation within the space of the popular. They might therefore be used as test cases for Jameson's concerns. "Midnight's Children" is a sprawling story of Indian and British imperial and post-imperial history across the twentieth century. "Das Parfum" tells the tightly framed tale of a murderous perfumer in eighteenth-century France. Seemingly very different texts, they bear one curious similarity: both feature a protagonist with an unusually sensitive sense of smell.

  4. The 'end of history' revisited : Christa Wolf's 'Kassandra' and Jeanette Winterson's 'Sexing the cherry'

    In his article "The End of History?", originally published in the journal "The National Interest" in Summer 1989, Frances Fukuyama argued that 'the triumph of the West, of the Western idea, is evident first of all in the total exhaustion of viable systemic alternatives to Western liberalism.' It was in this respect that history had reached its 'end': the course of history in the sense of 'mankind's logical evolution' had arrived at 'the universalization of Western liberal democracy as the final form of human government'. [...] A look at some of the historical fiction written in the 1980s might suggest ways out of this potential imaginative impasse, offering up alternative possibilities, or 'Gegenwelten', in place of the dispiriting spectacle of history-on-repeat. Fukuyama himself does not mention literature. In fact, the historical fiction of the 1980s reveals a space in which the meaning of 'history' is still very much contested and where the threat of the 'end of history' in its more obvious sense - in the form of nuclear war or climate apocalypse - emerges as a force that speaks powerfully to the anxiety of our present moment. Two evocative novels that have much to tell us in these respects are Christa Wolf's "Kassandra" and Jeanette Winterson's "Sexing the Cherry". Published in 1984 and 1989, these two texts challenged the idea of rational progress and 'mankind's logical evolution' by raising the prospect of a distinctive feminist poetics - of 'écriture féminine' and 'what it will do' as Hélène Cixous had put it in her 1975 essay "The Laugh of the Medusa". The 'Gegenwelten' they propose suggest ways out of the macho strait jacket of violence, destruction and impending nuclear war.

  5. Imagology and the analysis of identity discourses in late eighteenth- and nineteenth-century European travel writing by Charles Dickens and Karl Philipp Moritz

    This article analyses processes of collective and individual identity formation in European travel writing from the late eighteenth and the middle of the nineteenth century and argues that these processes are based not least on the national stereotypes described and performed in the texts. I explore how the genre-specific stylistic elements of multilingualism and intertextuality inform the performance of auto- and hetero-images and in doing so suggest converging travel writing studies and imagological studies. To illustrate my thesis, I analyse travelogues by Charles Dickens and Karl Philipp Moritz.
