Musikstädte as real and imaginary soundscapes: urban musical images as literary motifs in twentieth-century German modernism
No full textPhDThis study examines German literary images of musical life as part of the wider sound identity of the modern German city at the turn of the twentieth century. Focussing on a forty-year period from 1890 to 1930, synonymous with the emergence of the modern German metropolis as an aesthetic object, the project assesses, compares and contrasts how musical life in the Musikstädte was perceived and portrayed by writers in an increasingly noisy urban environment. How does urban musical life influence and condition city writings? What are the differences and similarities between the writings on various musical cities? Can an urban textual sound identity be derived from these differences and similarities? The approach employed to answer these questions is a new, cross-disciplinary one to urban sound in literature, moving beyond reading the key sounds of the urban soundscape using urban musicology, sensorial anthropology and cultural poetics towards a literary contextualisation of the urban aural experience.
The literary motifs of the symphony, the gramophone and urban noise are put under the spotlight through the analysis of a wide range of modernist works by authors who have a special relationship with music. At the centre of this analysis are the Kaffeehausliteratur authors Hermann Bahr, Alfred Polgar and Peter Altenberg, the then Munich-based author Thomas Mann and the lesser known René Schickele. The analysis of these particular works is framed in the music-geographical context of the Musikstadt and literary underpinnings of this topos, ranging from Ingeborg Bachmann to Hans Mayer and, once again, Thomas Mann. In analysing these texts, the methodological approach devised by Strohm, who identifies the blending of a range of urban sounds as a definition of urban space and identity, is applied. His ideas combine historical literary
analysis, musical history and urban sociology. They are rarely used in the analysis of the auditory environment.Arts and Humanities Research Council

Bachmann – Lipski – Opel. Resztki języka
No full textThe article presents some new research findings concerning Leo Lipski’s life in view of previously unexplored archival materials. The author argues that German was the writer’s mother tongue and analyzes its significance in his literary works. Moreover, the article reconstructs Lipski’s links with the German-speaking world and demonstrates that it was Adolf Opel’s initiative to have Piotruś [Little Peter] translated into German. Furthermore, it was Opel who encouraged his partner, Ingeborg Bachmann, to take interest in Lipski’s works. On the basis of the latest research findings, the author also briefly discusses a set of Lipski’s surviving letters sent to the Austrian writer.Artykuł prezentuje szereg ustaleń badawczych na temat biografii Leo Lipskiego, poczynionych na podstawie kwerend niebadanych dotąd materiałów archiwalnych. Wskazuje na niemiecki jako język macierzysty pisarza, przyglądając się tekstowym funkcjonalizacjom tego problemu. Jednocześnie artykuł rekonstruuje związki Lipskiego z niemieckojęzycznym kręgiem kulturowym, udowadniając, że osobą, która bezpośrednio przyczyniła się do powstania niemieckiego przekładu Piotrusia, był Adolf Opel. To właśnie też Opel zainteresował pisarstwem Lipskiego swoją partnerkę, Ingeborg Bachmann. Powołując się na ostatnie odkrycia archiwalne, tekst pokrótce omawia zachowany zbiór listów, jakie Lipski wysłał do austriackiej pisarki
Pisarka w ukryciu. Uwagi do polskiej recepcji twórczości Ingeborg Bachmann
No full textThe author observes and comments on how the reception process has worked in Poland as regards Ingeborg Bachmann, particularly within a feminist context and interpretation of her works. There is indication that difficulties occur in interpretation as well as the frequent occurrence of something that can referred to as the “stereotyping of reception”. Additionally, the author points out the need for a more complete reading of the works of the Austrian writer using a new methodology of literary criticism
Der habsburgische Mythos bei Ingeborg Bachmann
No full textThe article examines references to the Habsburg myth in selected works by the author Ingeborg Bachmann. The texts that are mainly analyzed are the short stories from Simultan and the novel Malina. The texts are chosen based on Bachmann’s confrontation with the Austrian past and only texts with explicit examples of this matter are taken into consideration. Specific examples of the Habsburg myth in the author’s works indicate that Bachmann’s analysis of Austrian society after the Second World War drew attention to the causes and consequences of this catastrophe and linked it to the First World War. It warns against the glorification of the past and the lack of confrontation with one’s own history and guilt, which are particularly characteristic of Austria. It is shown that Bachmann does not continue the Habsburg myth, but demands a critical handling of this phenomenon which is also the way of the younger generation of authors in the Austrian literature who reject mythologizing the past. Bachmann creates the utopian idea of a House of Austria, which serves as a mental homeland for her protagonists and is not to be equated with the actual empire that has perished. She distances herself from the perpetuation of the Habsburg myth by calling for a confrontation with one’s own past instead of an idealization of the past
Ingeborg Bachmann e l'Italia
No full textIn the exhaustive search for a language able to express the most profound reality, one may be likened to a ‘nomad’ in search of a home. Bachmann shares with other 20 th c. Austrian writers the plight of an emigrant in search of a country, for the Glorious Austria had long since passed, and that which remained suffered from a constant identity crisis.
My study focuses on the significance and influence that Italy had on the writer’s work. Specifically, I’ll examine her Was ich in Rom sah und hörte, an essay that describes Rome shorn of its conventional associations, and then reconstructed in the light of new associations that conform to Bachmann’s personal outlook. This poet’s Italy ranges far beyond the cliché traditionally used to describe it. Instead, the complexity of her characterization is revealed in two ways: spirituality in poetry and utopia in her Roman essays.
Bachmann uses these forms to express herself. On the one hand, she believed that an author was limited in their ability to speak and, thus, write about a foreign country. Yet, as a foreigner bound sentimentally to her host country, she formed part of a dynamic that eluded precise definition
