Kumpitz in progress : "Aus dem Leben Hödlmosers" (1973) in Reinhard P. Grubers Vorlaß: Werkgenese, Reaktionen und produktive Rezeption
No full textDie vorliegende Masterarbeit sichtet, analysiert und kontextualisiert jene im Vorlass von Reinhard P. Gruber enthaltenen Archivalien, die im Zusammenhang mit dessen berühmtestem Roman ‚Aus dem Leben Hödlmosers‘ (1973) stehen. Dabei gibt sie einerseits einige Einblicke in die Werkgenese, zeichnet andererseits ein umfassendes Panorama der ‚realweltlichen‘ und literaturkritischen Reaktionen auf den Text und stellt nicht zuletzt einige Beispiele für die produktive Rezeption des ‚Hödlmoser‘-Stoffs vor. Zudem präsentiert die Arbeit das Leben und das Werk Grubers, problematisiert die häufig getroffene Zuordnung des Romans zur (Anti-)Heimatliteratur und diskutiert das Verhältnis Grubers zur ‚Grazer Gruppe‘. Damit möchte sie eine in dieser Form erstmalige Grundlagenarbeit leisten, die den Roman nicht nur als solchen, nämlich als isolierten Text, in den Blick nimmt, sondern als bis heute produktives intermediales Phänomen. Nicht zuletzt sollen dabei aber auch einige Um- und Abwege der kurz-, mittel- und langfristigen ‚Hödlmoser‘-Rezeption nachgezeichnet und mögliche Ursachen für eine solche im Werk und seinem Umfeld lokalisiert werden.This Master’s thesis examines, analyses and contextualises the archival material from Reinhard P. Gruber’s personal archive related to his most famous novel ‘Aus dem Leben Hödlmosers’ (1973). On the one hand, it provides some insights into the genesis of the work; on the other, it draws a broad panorama of the ‘real-world’ and literary-critical reactions on the text and, not least, presents some examples of the productive reception of the ‘Hödlmoser’ story. In addition, the thesis introduces to Gruber’s life and work, problematises the novel’s frequent classification as (anti-) ‘Heimat’ literature and discusses Gruber’s relationship to the ‘Grazer Gruppe’. In doing so, it aims to provide basic research for the first time in this form, focussing on the novel not only as such, as an isolated text, but as a productive intermedial phenomenon up to the present day. However, the thesis also intends to outline some of the deviations of Hödlmoser’s short-, medium- and long-term reception as well as to localise potential reasons for such developments within the text and its surroundings.vorgelegt von Daniel Milkovits, MA BEdMasterarbeit Universität Graz 202
Threshold dramas : case studies on the Austrian Post-War Folk Play (Kortner, Bronnen, Hochwälder)
No full textDie vorliegende Masterarbeit geht anhand von Fritz Kortners ‚Donauwellen‘ (1949), Arnolt Bronnens ‚Die jüngste Nacht‘ (1952) und Fritz Hochwälders ‚Der Himbeerpflücker‘ (1965) der Frage nach, wie Spielformen des Volksstücks im Österreich der ersten Nachkriegsjahrzehnte zur Auseinandersetzung mit der jüngsten Geschichte genutzt werden konnten. Das Volksstück nach 1945 ist – so die These – ein ‚Schwellendrama‘: Während die Geschichtspolitik Österreichs auf ökonomische wie politische Stabilisierung abzielte und daher eine klare Zäsur zwischen nationalsozialistischer Vergangenheit und demokratischer Gegenwart zu ziehen suchte, inszenieren die diskutierten Dramen prekäre Zustände des Dazwischen, des Noch-nicht und Nicht-mehr. Vor diesem Hintergrund versucht die Arbeit, Diskurse, Ästhetiken, Plots und Figurenkonstellationen der analysierten Texte zu untersuchen, sie in den Kontext ihrer Entstehungszeit zu stellen, aber auch auf historische Strukturen der Wiener Komödie zu beziehen. Dabei sollen Volksstücke nicht nur als Medien literarischer Vergangenheitsaufarbeitung, sondern auch als Erprobungen in den Blick rücken, ob und wie Komödien über den und nach dem ‚Zivilisationsbruch‘ (Dan Diner) überhaupt geschrieben werden können.This Master’s thesis analyses Fritz Kortner’s ‘Donauwellen’ (Danube Waves, 1949), Arnolt Bronnen’s ‘Die jüngste Nacht’ (The Last Night, 1952) and Fritz Hochwälder’s ‘Der Himbeerpflücker’ (The Raspberry Picker, 1965) to investigate how the folk play was used to deal with recent history in Austria during the first post-war decades. It is argued that the folk play after 1945 is a ‘threshold drama’: while Austria’s politics of history aimed at economic and political stabilisation and therefore drew a very clear cut between the national socialist past and the democratic present, the discussed dramas present precarious states of in-between, of not-yet and no-longer. Against this background, the thesis examines the discourses, aesthetics, plots and characters of the texts and places them in the context of their time but also relates them to historical structures of Viennese comedy. In this way, folk plays will be considered not only as media of dealing with the past through literature, but also as experiments on whether and in which ways comedies about and after the ‘rupture of civilisation’ (Dan Diner) can even be written.Daniel Milkovits MA MA BEdMasterarbeit Universität Graz 202
Allegorie des verdrängten Mitläufertums: Carl Merz’ und Helmut Qualtingers Herr Karl als österreichische ‚Banalität des Bösen‘
No full textWith Der Herr Karl (1961), Carl Merz and Helmut Qualtinger created a folk play of a ‘critical, myth-destroying form’ (Bobinac 1992) which is unique in Austrian theatre history. The scandal which this one-hour monodrama caused when it was first broadcast on Austrian television was also due to the unmasking character drawing: In the behaviour of the titular fellow traveller and opportunist ‘Herr Karl’, the audience recognised itself – the post-war mentality of repressing, forgetting and relativising found itself shaken to its foundations. The article aims to examine to what extent Hannah Arendt’s reflections on the ‘Banality of Evil’ are actually applicable to Merz and Qualtinger’s play and which aspects of Austrian mentality history become visible in it. In particular, the Austrian remembrance culture and its way of dealing with the traumatic happenings could become evident – especially in a nation that tried to posit itself as the first ‘victim’ of Hitler’s Germany even before the end of the wa
(Nach-)Krieg und (Un-)Frieden: Zu Fritz Kortners Volksstück \u27Donauwellen\u27
No full textDer vorliegende Beitrag widmet sich Fritz Kortners Volksstück Donauwellen (1949), einem vergleichsweise wenig bekannten Beispiel der Gattung, dessen Hauptfigur, der Friseur Alois Duffeck, die Kontinuitäten vom Zweiten Weltkrieg zur Nachkriegszeit eindrucksvoll widerspiegelt. An diesem Text und seinen Kontexten wird gezeigt, wie sich im österreichischen Volksstück nach 1945 Krieg und Nachkrieg, politischer Frieden und gekitteter sozialer Unfrieden zueinander verhalten.
This article discusses Fritz Kortner\u27s folk play Donauwellen (1949), a rather little-known example of the genre, whose main character, the barber Alois Duffeck, mirrors the continuities from the Second World War to the post-war period in an impressive way. On the basis of this text and its contexts, it is shown how war and post-war, political peace and cemented social discord are related to each other in the Austrian folk play after 1945

Editio: Internationales Jahrbuch für Editionswissenschaft / Editorik beginnt in der Schule? Ein essayistischer Weckruf am Beispiel von originalsprachlichen Abdrucken mittelalterlicher Texte in rezenten österreichischen Schulbüchern
No full textFor young people school is the very first place where a fruitful and enlightening encounter with literature may take place, provided that the teaching can rely on well edited texts. Against this background of experience, the essayistically sharpened paper reports the results of an examination of eighteen Austrian textbooks at secondary level II, in which original-language text examples from the German literary history of the Middle Ages are reproduced. The results of the survey depict, on the one hand, a revealing canon of near-source printed literary works and on the other hand it illustrates that in most cases the editorial templates used in textbooks are far away from the quality standards and informative value of modern reference editions. As the study generally concludes, it would be up to the editing community to urgently establish a new, mutually beneficial cooperation with all the institutions and publishers involved in the production of school textbooks in order to supply the classrooms with more suitable specialist editions and customised materials as soon as possible.Version of recor
Simulating service reliability of a high frequency bus route using automatically collected data
No full textThesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2008.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Includes bibliographical references.High frequency bus routes are subject to a variety of influences that can affect the quality of service provided to passengers. Since they have short headways and high passenger demand interaction between buses can easily develop, causing degradation in service reliability. This, in turn, can prompt service interventions to correct service reliability. Transit agencies are implementing new technology that provide rich data sets for analysis and are also experimenting with a variety of operating policies to improve service reliability. This research develops a simulation model of high frequency bus service in order to study the causes of service unreliability and strategies to alleviate it. The model is designed to be used in conjunction with data recorded by the Automatic Voice Annunciation System (AVAS), Automatic Passenger Counting (APC), and Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) systems and is calibrated to represent route 63, a key bus route in the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) network The simulation model is first used to conduct a sensitivity analysis of the factors influencing reliability, such as passenger demand, terminal departure behavior, and unfilled trips. Next, several operating strategies, including terminal departure and timepoint holding for schedule or headway, are modeled and evaluated for their potential to improve reliability. The sensitivity analysis and application testing support the use of passenger-centric metrics such as passenger-experienced waiting time and crowding over more aggregate headway measures such as large headways and bunching. Model results show that headway management strategies implemented at the terminal can significantly improve bus service reliability and ameliorate the impacts of unfilled trips on route 63, as measured by passenger waiting time, crowding, and big-gaps / bunches.(cont.) The simulation model is a valuable research tool for applications beyond those tested in this thesis. The model developed can be applied with from data collected by automatic collection systems which is a particularly useful feature for transit agencies.by Martin Nicholas Milkovits.S.M
