Communicative Identity in the Eighteenth Century; Johann Wilhelm Ludwig Gleim\u27s Epistolary Network and the Cult of Friendship
No full textIn recent years the field of ‘life writing’ has been shaped by critical approaches that have abandoned traditional notions of the singular, self-governing individual in favor of a multiple and processual concept of the subject which understands the self as socially determined. A key role is played by an engagement with the technological and medial requirements – the material basis – of the subject’s construction. In contributing to this debate, this article looks at a configuration that, while it has numerous structural analogies to the present, is historically situated in the eighteenth century. Using the example of the epistolary network around the German Enlightenment figure Johann Wilhelm Ludwig Gleim (1719–1803), I will argue that at one of the decisive turning points in the formation of the modern concept of the subject there was a form of medial communication which stood at odds to the idea of a unified and autonomous self. Through the relationship created between author and addressee, the letter constructed changing versions of the self that made the success of communication dependent on the play between textual ambiguities and the imagination. At the same time the article examines the role of the visual image as a substitute for the other in epistolary communication. Under the guiding concept of ‘friendship’ a network of text and identity production occurring in parallel is formed. Such a network is not solely based on the principle of individual autonomy but also on collective recognition. This article was submitted on July 1st 2014 and published on December 5th 2014

“Nicht unsrer Lesewelt, und nicht der Ewigkeit”: late style in Gleim’s 'Zeit-' and 'Sinngedichte' (1792–1803)
No full textThis article examines the late poems of Johann Wilhelm Ludwig Gleim, arguing that they employ a 'late style.' I suggest that the poet deliberately stylises himself as an old, unfashionable author, in order to address political themes in his work that would not have appeared fashionable at the time

Fabeln über Tiere und Menschen
No full textThis sturdy little volume is straightforward. It begins its fables with WS on the page after the title-page. There is no T of C or list of sources. Often a fabulist is cited after a particular fable: the most frequently cited seem to be Aesop, La Fontaine, Pfeffel, Gellert, Lessing, and Hagedorn. Also occasionally there are reproductions of illustrations from Grandville. Almost all the fables are in verse. For fun I tried Die Beratschlagung der Pferde by Gleim (21). A young horse gives an impassioned speech calling his horse brothers to rise up and claim their supremacy over the weak being that is humanity. A wise older horse points out that all the rational organization of horses' lives--their protection, their food, their rest--comes from humans. The horses return to their stalls. How nice of Fräulein Schrode to think of me with this gift!This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Language note: GermanJames Thurber; aus dem Amerikanischen übertragen von Gerda Richte
Wem ich zu gefallen suche: Deutsche Fabeln und Lieder der Aufklärung
No full textThis is basically the same book as the paperback Deutsche Fabeln und Lieder der Aufklärung, published by Insel in 1976. It is hardbound and has a dust-jacket. It adds a first portion to the book's title, taken from the title of the first work presented. This edition also adds red ink for titles on the title-page and throughout. The Insel edition refers to this publisher for its copyright in publishing that work. Though the T of C plates are fresh, the page numbers for each of the fables seems to come out the same as in that edition. The titles in this edition are in black and have moved slightly on the page. As I wrote there, there are six authors in this book: Lessing, Hagedorn, Gellert, Lichtwer, Gleim, and Pfeffel. I am surprised that Gellert has even more fables here than Lessing. Chodowiecki's engravings are not as heavily inked, and so may present more detail. There is a Bildverzeichniss on 307-10. A Quellenverzeichniss and a T of C follow. Songs and fables are not distinguished in the organisation of this book.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)This book has a dust jacket (book cover)Language note: German1.
