Ordoliberalism and the evolution of norms
No full textThe first part of the following paper deals with varying points of criticism forwarded against Ordoliberalism. Here, it is not the aim to directly falsify each argument on its own; rather, the author tries to give a precise overview of the spectrum of critique. The second section picks out one argument of critical review – namely that the ordoliberal concept of the state is somewhat elitist and grounded on intellectual experts. Based on the previous sections, the final part differentiates two kinds of genesis of norms: an evolutionary and an elitist one – both (latently) present within Ordoliberalism. In combination with the two-level differentiation between individual and regulatory ethics, the essay allows for a distinction between individual-ethical norms based on an evolutionary genesis of norms and regulatory-ethical norms based on an elitist understanding of norms. A by-product of the author’s argument is a (further) demarcation within neoliberalism

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

Alchemical laboratories : texts, practices, material relics / von Lang, Sarah / Alchymistische Kunststücke am kaiserlichen Hof : Alchemie unter den Habsburgerkaisern Rudolf II., Ferdinand III. und Leopold I
No full textIn den letzten dreißig Jahren wurden zahlreiche grundlegende Forschungsberichte mit unerwarteten Ergebnissen zur Alchemie im Umfeld der Habsburgerherrscher des 16. und des 17. Jahrhunderts veröffentlicht. Allen voran sei Ivo Purš’ und Vladimír Karpenkos in Prag erschienener umfangreicher Sammelband „Alchymie a Rudolf II.“ (2011/2016) erwähnt. Insbesondere sind es die Erkenntnisse Rafał T. Prinkes zu dem am Hofe Rudolfs angestellten Alchemisten Sendivogius und die Funde Carlos Gillys bezüglich des von Erzherzog Maximilian III. auf eine Galeere verbannten Paracelsisten Adam Haslmayr. So manches Klischee erscheint nun dringend revisionsbedürftig. 2018 konnte Birte Camen in ihrer Diplomarbeit zeigen, dass der Autor einer 870 Seiten umfassenden und eigens für Kaiser Rudolf II. angefertigten Handschrift der ÖNB mit dem Titel „Alchymische Kunst-Stücke in gutter Ordnungk“ von dem aus Breslau stammenden Leibarzt Dr. Johann Hennemann (1555–1614) geschrieben wurde. Einige der darin enthaltenen weit über 1000 Rezepturen kommen einem modernen Lehrbuch der anorganischen Chemie nahe. Ein gänzlich unerwartetes Bild des Gedanken- und Informationsaustausches zwischen Kaiser Ferdinand III. und seinem Bruder Erzherzog Leopold Wilhelm während der Zeit des Dreißigjährigen Krieges ergab die Edition ihres Briefwechsels durch Renate Schreiber und Mark Hengerer, der Berichte über alchemistische Experimente enthält. Einer der für Kaiser Ferdinand III. tätigen Alchemisten war Conrad III. Ruess von Ruessenstein (1604–1668). Es ist gelungen die Lebensumstände dieses von Zeitgenossen eher abschätzig beurteilten Alchemisten, der 1643 das Schloss Stermol in Krain erwarb, zu erforschen. In den Kaiser Leopold I. gewidmeten alchemistischen Schriften des Johann Friedrich von Rain (geb.1634) versteigt sich dieser Alchemist, der Mitglied des Stadtrats von Laibach war, zur Ansicht, dass eine Leugnung der Kunst des Goldmachens einem crimen laesae maiestatis gleichkommt. Abgerundet wird die Skizze des Charakters der Alchemie am Hofe Leopolds I. in Wien durch Dokumente über den Alchemisten Wenzel Seiler aus dem Augustinerkloster Brünn, die dank der Hilfe von Jaromír Hladík vom Mährischen Archiv in Brünn ausgewertet werden konnten. Diese Dokumente lassen diesen vom Kaiser für seine spektakulären alchemistischen Vorführungen geadelten und hoch geschätzten Alchemisten in einem eher düsteren Licht erscheinen.In the last thirty years, numerous fundamental research reports have been published on alchemy in the environment of the Habsburg rulers of the 16th and 17th centuries, often revealing unexpected results. First and foremost, Ivo Purš’ and Vladimír Karpenko’s extensive anthology „Alchymie a Rudolf II.“ (2011/2016) should be mentioned, in particular the findings of Rafał T. Prinke regarding the alchemist Sendivogius employed at Rudolf’s court and the findings of Carlos Gilly regarding the paracelsist Adam Haslmayr, who dedicated some of his manuscripts to Archduke Maximilian III. Some clichés now appear to be in urgent need of revision. In her diploma thesis of 2018, Birte Camen showed that the author of an 870-page manuscript of the ÖNB specially prepared for Emperor Rudolf II. with the title „Alchymische Kunst-Stücke in gutter Ordnungk“ was the physician Dr. Johann Hennemann (1555–1614). Some of the about 1000 recipes remind us of a modern textbook on inorganic chemistry. A completely unexpected picture of the exchange of ideas and information between Emperor Ferdinand III. and his brother Archduke Leopold Wilhelm during the period of the Thirty Years War emerged as the result of the edition of their correspondence by Renate Schreiber and Mark Hengerer. Conrad III. Ruess von Ruessenstein (1604–1668) was one of the alchemists of Emperor Ferdinand III. It was possible to elucidate the genealogy of this alchemist, who acquired Stermol Castle in Carniola in 1643. In his alchemical writings dedicated to Emperor Leopold I the alchemist and member of the city council of Laibach Baron Johann Friedrich von Rain (born in 1634) insists that a denial of the art of gold making is a crimen laesae maiestatis. The survey on alchemy at the court of Leopold I is completed by documents about the alchemist Wenzel Seiler from the Augustinian monastery in Brno, which could be exploited thanks to the help of Jaromír Hladík from the Moravian Archives in Brno. These documents let this alchemist – ennobled and highly esteemed by the Emperor for his spectacular alchemical performances – appear in a rather gloomy light
"Have you really read Job? Read him, read him again and again" : Kierkegaard, Vischer, and Barth on the book of Job
No full textThis thesis explores the reception history of the book of Job, particularly in Søren
Kierkegaard’s Three Upbuilding Discourses and Repetition, Wilhelm Vischer’s “Hiob, ein
Zeuge Jesu Christi,” and Karl Barth’s Church Dogmatics. It examines the hermeneutical
presuppositions of these three scholars and how the scholars themselves fit into the history
of interpretation, showing that they use a post-critical allegorical interpretation in order to
explore the freedom of God and humanity.
Chapter one offers a defense of using reception history in biblical studies. By
walking through Mikhail Bakhtin’s theories on great time and the chronotope, it argues that
great texts continue to live and grow even after their completion and canonization. During
this “afterlife,” their meaning expands as more readers participate in their interpretations.
Chapter two examines the afterlife of the book of Job in the hands of Christian exegetes,
focusing on allegory and freedom in the interpretations by Gregory the Great, Thomas
Aquinas, Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Immanuel Kant. Chapter three looks at the
unusual and rich interpretations of Job by Kierkegaard—the autonymous upbuilding
discourse on Job’s response to his suffering in the prologue and the novella Repetition as an
interpretation of the dialogue between Job and his friends. Chapter four examines the
interpretation of the book of Job in Vischer’s mini-commentary. Vischer sees the character
of Job as one whose devotion to God goes beyond the laws that God purveys and the
doctrine that seeks to explain God. Referring specifically to the works of Kierkegaard and
Vischer, Karl Barth’s work on Job—the focus of chapter five—sees the book of Job as
illustrative of Jesus Christ’s relationship to God and humanity. All three scholars
incorporated allegory while ruminating on the freedom of God in the book of Job. The final
chapter evaluates their interpretations while addressing their similarities and differences
