Functions of autoreception: Karl Ove Knausgård as author-critic and rewriter
No full textKarl Ove Knausgård made his entry into the literary field as a critic in the 1990s, and he has
since 1998 made his mark as a novelist and essayist. The six-volume autobiographical work
Min kamp (2009-2011) is in essence about what it means for him to be an author. This thesis
investigates Knausgård’s strategies as a critic, essayist, and as the author of Min kamp to
position himself and his poetics within the literary field and a literary tradition. Specifically,
it examines the functions of autoreception, i.e. self-criticism, implicit in Knausgård’s role as
an author-critic, an author who writes literary criticism, and as a rewriter, an author who
rewrites his own texts and the context and poetic intentions of his previous texts. Thus, this
thesis aims to answer the question what are the functions of criticism and of rewriting for Karl Ove
Knausgård as an author?
Part I outlines a new framework of autoreception devised for examining the functions of
criticism and rewriting. The proposed common denominator is that both function to
establish, position, and validate an author-image. Ultimately, a new understanding of the
narration in Min kamp as autoreceptive is offered. Part II examines a largely unexplored area
of Knausgård’s work, namely the strategies of Knausgård as a critic prior to publishing his
first novel, and how Knausgård rewrites himself during this period in Min kamp. Part III
focuses on Knausgård’s rewriting of the period between writing his second novel and up
until he begins writing Min kamp. It investigates the strategic functions of the narrative
structure, the functions of the essayistic and critical passages, and the functions of the
distance and unity between past and present author-images that Knausgård creates in his
rewriting.
This thesis thus aims to contribute to the scholarship regarding Karl Ove Knausgård by
conducting an author-study that examines the relationship between criticism and poetics. In
addition, it aims to contribute to a broader field of research by offering a theoretical and
methodological framework of autoreception, which works across the boundaries of critical,
essayistic, and literary texts

The concept of salvation in the theology of Karl Rahner
No full textThis work explores the adequacy of Karl Rahner 1 s theologicalmethodology through an analysis of the concept of salvation in histheology. Karl Rahner represents one of the most significant oftwentieth century Roman Catholic theologians. His life work was togive expression to the inherited tradition in the vastly changed milieuof the modern world. He did not seek only to reformulate particulardoctrines but to re-express the very foundations of theology. Building/ upon the work of Joseph Marechal, he sought to root theology in atranscendental analysis of the knowing and willing human subject.Rahner's methodology remains foundational for many contemporarytheologians. However, questions remain as to the adequacy of thismethodology: Does Rahner, in the final analysis, simply seek tocorrelate the inherited tradition and theological methodology tocontemporary self-understanding, or does he genuinely seek to rearticulatethe Christian tradition and theological methodology in thelight of contemporary self-understanding? We explore this questionin dialogue with concerns drawn from fundamental soteriology.Throughout Christian history soteriological concerns have provokedtheological debate. Soteriology brings to a focus fundamental questionsin Christian theology and practice: the dignity and significance ofJesus of Nazareth; the relationship between a transcendent God and animmanent saving activity; the nature of the Christian vocation; therelationship between the historical order and eternal beatitude;whether theology fits with human concerns and if so, how? We examinethese questions through a study of Karl Rahner 1 s theology and in sodoing inquire as to the adequacy of his theological method and hisattempted re-articulation of the Christian tradition
Karl Barth's academic lectures on Ephesians (Göttingen, 1921-1922) : an original translation, annotation, and analysis
No full textThis thesis consists of an original translation, annotation, and analysis of Karl Barth’s Academic lectures on Ephesians, delivered in Göttingen, winter semester, 1921-1922. The translation is composed from a typescript of Barth’s handwritten manuscript, located in the Karl Barth Archives, Basel, and is annotated for scholarly research, including complete bibliographical information on Barth’s sources.
Barth’s exposition is a detailed exegesis of the Greek text of Eph. 1:1-23, comprising 13 lectures, with a summary of Ephesians 2-6 in the final chapter. Materially and formally, the exposition strongly resembles Romans II and Barth’s 1919 sermons on Ephesians, which the study examines. It also exhibits the theological objectivity of the Göttingen period, chiefly because of Barth’s explication of gnosis in Ephesians and his appropriation of Calvin’s theology of the knowledge of God.
Barth made a material discovery in his study of Ephesians that fundamentally shaped his subsequent theology. He observes in
Eph. 1:3-14 a train of thought which witnesses to God’s action to the creature in Christ and the creature’s subsequent movement to God. He concludes that we have come from God, who has chosen us in eternal election, and we are moving toward the glory of God, our divinely appointed goal. The exposition’s central theme is expressed in Barth’s claim that “the knowledge of God is the presupposition” and “the goal” of human existence.
The distinguishing mark of Barth’s theological exegesis is its concreteness, that is, his ability to speak about the text’s contemporary meaning without lapsing into theological abstraction. This concreteness is the consequence of his theological hermeneutic. He describes the interpretive event as a field of action, consisting of the biblical text, the activity of the interpreter, and the divine speech act

A New Book on Mao: A Quick Q & A with Author Rebecca Karl
No full textRebecca Karl, who teaches at New York University and is known in Chinese studies circles as the author of important studies of nationalism during the final years of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) and the development of Marxist thought between the 1920s and the present, has a new book coming out soon. Titled Mao Zedong and China in the Twentieth-Century World: A Concise History, it’s being published (simultaneously in paperback and hardback editions) by Duke University Press. The publisher promises that it will provide readers with a “lively and concise historical account of Mao Zedong’s life and thought,” and it comes with advance praise from Stanford literary specialist Ban Wang and historian Delia Davin, whose many publications also include a short book about the Chinese Communist Party leader. Struck by the challenges Professor Karl has taken on, both of moving from writing for specialists to writing for general readers (that’s clearly the main target audience to her new book) and trying to cover such a big topic in a small number of pages (the book has just over 200 of them), I asked her to share her thoughts on these challenges and other subjects with followers of this blog
Karl Polanyi’s the great transformation: Perverse effects, protectionism and gemeinschaft
No full textDrawing upon Karl Polanyi’s journalistic writings and unpublished lectures from the 1920s and 1930s, this article reconstructs the lineaments of his research programme that was to assume its finished form in The Great Transformation. It identifies and corrects a common misinterpretation of the thesis of that book, and argues that Polanyi’s basic theoretical framework is best conceived as Tönniesian: the ‘protective counter-movement’ of The Great Transformation is Gemeinschaft, understood dynamically, while the market society is Gesellschaft. It examines the two central mechanisms by which, in Polanyi’s understanding, Gesellschaft broke down in the mid-twentieth century: the ‘clash between democracy and capitalism,’ and a doctrine of ‘perverse effects’ whereby political intervention in markets impairs profitability and saps the vitality of the market system
