Deutsche Literaturgeschichtsschreibung bei den Slowenen: Anastasius Grün und der Polyhistor Peter von Radics
No full textInternational audienceThe article discusses the festschrift Anastasius Grün und seine Heimat (Stuttgart 1876), written by the Carniolan polyhistor Peter von Radics (1836-1912) on the occasion of the 70 th birthday of the Austrian Vormärz poet Anastasius Grün (1806-1876). It analyses the ideal-aesthetic aspects of Grün's poems, which the author regarded as constitutive, the motifs of freedom of thought and harmony of nations, which are linked to universal claims, and the particular motif of morality, based on German education and culture, and places them in an identity-creating perspective. Furthermore, light is shed on the significance of the individual poetics of the jubilarian and the historical contextualisation of Radics' argumentation. We intend to analyse the ideological foundations and the methodological approaches of his monograph. The article aims at providing a better understanding of Radics' position in the literary and cultural-historical discourse of the time and the status of Radics' monograph in literary historiography among the Slovenes.</div

Kulturelle Selbstverortung und Identitätsfrage: der Krainer Polyhistor Peter von Radics (1836-1912) zwischen zwei Sprachen und Kulturen
No full textThis article focuses on the life and creative path of the Carniolian polymath,many-faceted researcher, historian, German specialist, and theater specialist Peter von Radics (1836-1912), who was born in Postojna (Adelsberg) but did not have Carniolan roots. Based on this case study, the author examines the issues of what characterized an intellectual working in Carniola in the nineteenth century, what his place in society was, and what his understanding of his own identity was. The article also examines the hypothesis that one can speak of at least three identities in the nineteenth-century Slovenian lands - regional, ethnic, and dynastic (Habsburg), sheds light on the conditions that marked Radicsʼ life and work, and seeks to explain why he chose to live in the microcosm of Carniola rather than seeking his fortune as a journalist, researcher, and author in the centerof the monarchy, in Vienna
