«Die Gegenwart ist nichts als eine Hypothese». Formen und Funktionen von Experimentalität in Robert Musils «Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften»
Full text linkBased on the notion of experiments as “Experimentalsysteme” (Rheinberger) explicated by recent history of science studies the following paper examines how experiments are conducted in and are relevant to Robert Musil’s modern novel Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften on a thematic, textual, epistemological and poetological level. Focus areas are representations of different experimental constellations, i.e. scientific, poetic and thought experiments, the relation of experimental literary operations and scientific experimentation as well as Musil’s understanding of essayism as an experimental configuration between science and aesthetics

Lesebühne Ost. Szene-Literatur zwischen DDR-Vergangenheit und wiedervereinigter Gegenwart
Full text linkAgainst the informal backdrop of Berlin public-reading events (Berliner Lesebühnen) self-organised groups of German authors are participating in a literary (sub)culture, which especially since the second half of the 1990s has been flourishing in the booming East of the city, but still deserves to be properly explored. Focussing on Berlin public-reading events, this contribution aims to sketch out an underground literary-scene, in which writers grown up in the former GDR provide an unofficial view on and from (East) Germany
Polemische Transgression. Karl Kraus zwischen Schrift und Aktion
Full text linkThis essay focuses on the medial transgression from the written word to action in the polemic writings of Karl Kraus. The manifestation of transgression in his polemical writings should be seen as a consequent mode which characterizes his concept of polemics, finally as a permanent excess of its own medial as well as conceptual requirements. In the second part, this essay discusses ethical and/or political problems that result from those modes of transgression, particularly in Kraus’ attitude towards the First World War and the Nazi regime
Frühgealtert und spätgeboren. Richard Schaukals Dialog mit dem Dichterkreis des Jungen Wien
Full text linkThis article discusses the Austrian writer Richard Schaukal (1874-1942) and his artistic and personal relationship with the writers of the «Young Vienna» circle. Points of agreement and difference with Hermann Bahr, Karl Kraus, Hugo von Hofmannsthal and Arthur Schnitzler are at the centre of the analysis. The parallels with Hofmannsthal’s early work in particular will be shown by way of intertextual comparison. Drawing on these insights, the analysis seeks to situate Schaukal within the broader context of Viennese Modernism (c. 1890-1910)
Friedrich Hölderlins Italienbild: Ein Versuch
Full text linkThis paper focuses on Hölderlin’s Italian imagery, which has scarcely been investigated in previous research. Both as a geographical and metaphorical locus and as a literary and linguistic reference, Italy emerges as being more intensely present in Hölderlin’s life and work than has hitherto been assumed
