Visual representation in the work of Joseph Roth, 1923-1932
No full textThrough an examination of Joseph Roth’s reportage and fiction published between 1923 and 1932, this thesis seeks to provide a systematic analysis of a particular aspect of the author’s literary style, namely his use of sharply focused visual representations, which are termed Heuristic Visuals. Close textual analysis, supplemented by insights from reader-response theory, psychology, psycholinguistics and sociology illuminate the function of these visual representations. The thesis also seeks to discover whether there are significant differences and correspondences in the use of visual representations between the reportage and fiction genres. Roth believed that writers should be engagiert, and that the truth could only be arrived at through close observation of reality, not subordinated to theory. The research analyses the techniques by which Roth challenges his readers and encourages them to discover the truth for themselves. Three basic variants of Heuristic Visuals are identified, and their use in different contexts, including that of dialectical presentations, is explored. There is evidence of the use of different variants of Heuristic Visuals according to the respective rhetorical demands of particular thematic issues. It has also been possible to establish synchronic correspondences between the different genres, and diachronic correspondences within genres. Although there are examples within the reportage where the entire article is based on an Heuristic Visual, the use of Heuristic Visuals cannot be seen as a key organizing principle in Roth’s work as a whole. As his mastery of the technique reaches its highest point in the early 1930s, Heuristic Visuals are often incorporated into the reconstruction of a complete sensory experience. Analysis of Roth’s heuristic use of visual representations has led to important insights, including a reinterpretation of the endings of Roth’s two most famous novels: Hiob and Radetzkymarsch

Joseph Roth Collection 1897-1995
No full textJoseph Roth was one of the most prominent Austrian writers of the first half of the 20th century. Particularly his novels and newspaper essays gained him the respect of contemporary critics. Joseph Roth's papers at the Leo Baeck Institute Archives consist of handwritten and typewritten manuscripts of novels, novellas, short stories, and essays, including mostly complete manuscripts of his works (The Ballad of the Hundred Days), (The Bust of the Emperor), and his 'Trozki' novel (The Silent Prophet). Joseph Roth's journalistic work is also well represented. There are a few personal items and over one hundred photographs of Joseph Roth and his wife Friederike. The Joseph Roth collection also contains correspondence with family and publishers, clippings about Joseph Roth, and reviews of his work. The addenda mostly consist of invitations to conferences and exhibitions, and scholarly articles on Joseph Roth's work and life.Video tape of a Dutch TV-movie by Hans Keller, "Joseph Roth's Grosse-Welt Bioskop-Theater", has been removed to the A/V Collection.Joseph Roth was born in Brody in Galicia, then part of the Habsburg Monarchy, now Ukraine, on September 26, 1894 in the family of Maria (Miriam) Roth nee Gruebel and Nahum Roth.

After the war, Joseph Roth's cousin, Fred Grubel, picked up a suitcase with Joseph Roth's papers from her and transferred them to the United States. It took several years until the rights and heritage procedures were cleared up. In January 1963, the bulk of the collection arrived at the Leo Baeck Institute Archives. The papers of Joseph Roth were arranged into six series that were assigned call numbers AR 1836-AR 1841. Later on, Fred Grubel, the executive director of the Leo Baeck Institute, added materials about Joseph Roth that he had been collecting since the end of the war. This addition contained correspondence related to the fate of the collection after the war, reviews of Joseph Roth's works published after 1945, and several texts on Joseph Roth. This addendum is complemented by the material from the estate of Friderike Zweig, the widow of Stefan Zweig, donated by Caroline Birman, who took part in clearing the rights and safe-guarded Joseph Roth's papers after their arrival to the United States, in 1963 and 1971. In the 1990s other material was added, usually invitations to exhibits or conference programs that took place on the occasion of Joseph Roth's anniversaries. Several scholarly and popular articles were also added to the collection.Some of the more significant addenda include a microfilm of the manuscript of the Kapuzinergruft from the St. Etienne Gallery in 1990 mediated by Fritz Hackert (MF 453); as well as catalog cards and the inventory of the so-called Berliner Nachlass from the Schiller- Nationalmuseum und deutschen Literaturarchiv, Marbach am Neckar, Germany in 1995 (q PT 2635 O_84 Z312).Published in LBI Bulletin No. 25, 1964.Letters of Joseph Roth to his parents are available at the Dokumentationsstelle für neuere oesterreichische Literature (Vienna, Austria).

The Other In Henry Roth\u27s \u3ci\u3eCall It Sleep\u3c/i\u3e
No full textThis thesis project focuses on the notion of the Other in Henry Roth\u27s 1934 novel Call It Sleep. The novel follows David as his family moves to New York and struggles in poor areas. David\u27s inner world is rendered through a style which is reminiscent of a modernist stream of consciousness while retaining the realism of the 1930s proletarian novel. Call It Sleep is a rich text for the study of immigration and multi-culturalism and approaching the novel through the theme of the Other allows for multiple interpretations. The first chapter uses Jacques Lacan\u27s theories on Desire and analyzes David\u27s obsessive behavior toward objects representing purity. Lacanian Desire stems from lack and is transferred to objects that cannot bring satisfaction once attained. Lacan\u27s theories explain David\u27s quests and can be used to understand the \u27American Dream\u27 migrants followed as a spatial localization of this unattainable desire. The second chapter looks at Roth\u27s treatment of languages and identification of and with the Other. David is an Other for the two cultures he is in contact with and is either included or excluded by different languages. David\u27s identity as an Other fluctuates depending on which culture he is in contact with. Roth\u27s treatment of language and identities is still relevant as we struggle to find a balance between assimilation and multi-culturalism. The last chapter looks at Call It Sleep from a feminist point of view. In her essay \u27Women on the Market\u27, Luce Irigaray analyzes our society\u27s treatment of women as commodities and their exchanges. Irigaray\u27s theory allows for a unique perspective on the transition between a patriarchal society to a consumerist American society v where women are objectified. These different approaches allow for a comprehensive study of the Other in the text and inform on the different manifestations of the Other in our world, between the alienation of our desires, fragmentation of the self, the Otherness experienced in a multi-cultural society and the Othering of women. Analyzing Call It Sleep under these different lenses allow for a better understanding of the relation of the self and the Other for multi-cultural individuals
