«Kannst du’s wohl mit geschloßnen Augen denken?». La semantica del vedere nelle traduzioni italiane della «Pentesilea» di Kleist: [«Can you still visualize it when you shut your eyes?». The semantics of seeing in the Italian translations of Kleist’s «Penthesilea»]
Full text linkStarting from the centrality of the part played by the eye in Kleist’s work and, in particular, in Penthesilea, I propose to investigate how this field emerges from the Italian translations of the work. Supported by the instruments of Textsemantik (Greimas) and Texttheatralität (Poschmann) and following the comparative method (Utz), particularly significant passages from the tragedy are analysed which, in the light of this theme, pose interesting questions related to isotopy and can illuminate the differences between the translations
Anwältin des Menschlichen. Miniatur zu Rose Ausländer: [An advocate of the human. A miniature of Rose Ausländer]
Full text linkRose Ausländer’s poetry is a plea for rights that are universal, but which depend on a careful use of language and thoughtful, reasoned views. She exemplifies this with her clear, experience-laden work. Such language and the dialogues it allows contrast with the superficial and often ignorant discussions in social networks. Derrida’s concept of a «minimum friendship» with oneself and others is necessary to foster true discourse. Ausländer’s poem Gestern illustrates this by criticizing the limitations of identification through official documents like passports and affirming the principle of non-privilege. The gesture of throwing away the passport symbolizes the rejection of hierarchies and opens the space for true humanity and discursiveness, unbound by fixed categories

Peter Weiss: Experiment und Engagement heute
Full text linkIn the introductory essay, the volume’s editors trace the project that gave rise to this collection of contributions on Peter Weiss, his work, and his fortunes back to the events celebrating the centenary of his birth in 2016. The reflections start from Milo Rau, as an example of a contemporary author and director who finds in the mastery of Peter Weiss a point of reference for an art combining formal experimentalism with political engagement. The relevance of this present-day reference to Weiss as an example of the “aesthetics of resistance” is then addressed in detail, which leads on to the discussion of the main idea and thematic structure of the volume.The twelve papers are divided into two equal halves. In the first section, entitled “Essay und Prosa – Experimente mit Subjekt, Kunst und Politik”, six scholars investigate Peter Weiss’s essayistic and fictional writing, its cultural and artistic context, and its legacy for literature up to the 21st century. Lesser-known articles in Swedish and seminal interventions in the public debates of the 1960s, experimental prose and canonical novels, are thus reinterpreted using the tools of contemporary literary theory.In the second section, a further six scholars examine Weiss’s cinematographic and theatrical work and his reflections on media and performance. These contributions give new insights into Weiss’s documentary films, revolutionary dramas, and media aesthetics and politics, as well as their influence up to the present day. Under the title “Performative Engagements: Film, Theater, Medien”, contributions are brought together that range from earlier models, such as Hölderlin, Artaud, and Brecht, to contemporaries like Pier Paolo Pasolini, and finally to today’s theatre, again with Milo Rau
