No full textA Critique of the Critical Edition of Bahr al-Maʻāni
No full textBahr al-Maʻāni is a collection of mystical letters of the Chishti Order Sufi, Seyyed Muhammad ibn Nasir al-Din Ja’far Makki Hosseini (732-825 AH/ 1332-1422). The Academy of Persian Language and Literature (The Department of the Encyclopaedia of Persian Literature and Language in the Subcontinent) published it in 2018, edited by Dr. Mohammad Sarvar Molaei. After a lithography print in 1889 in Moradabad, this book is the first edition of Bahr al-Maʻāni, but due to the accumulation of incorrect, illegible, and ambiguous words and phrases, incoherence and disorganization can be seen throughout the book. On the one hand, this is related to the editing process, in which the editor should have revised the misreadings of the author or the scribes by comparing various copies of Bahr al-Maʻāni and the sources used by its author. On the other hand, it is related to the fact that a large part of the book is reciting previous mystical works without mentioning the references. By false omissions and additions, the author has impaired the text’s coherence, fluency, and integrity, and consequently, in many cases, he has left the reader with considerable ambiguities. In this paper, we have tried to analyze these issues in the abovementioned edition of Bahr al-Maʻāni with a critical approach
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

The Judas Field: A Novel of the Civil War
No full textBy Howard Bahr (Henry Holt hardcover, 14.00, ISBN: 0312426933, 7/2007) A middle-aged salesman in 1885 Mississippi, Cass Wakefield is a Civil War veteran of the Army of Tennessee, which saw action far from the leadership of Robert E. Lee, and ended, badly, at the battle of Franklin in 1864. Cass agrees to accompany a neighbor, 54-year-old terminally ill widow Alison Sansing, to Tennessee to recover the bodies of her father and brother, killed at Franklin. As they travel north, Cass’s memories return with painful vividness, culminating as he walks over the scene of his army’s disastrous defeat. Bahr (The Black Flower) moves back and forth between the tattered post-Reconstruction South and the war. He describes the effect of weapons on flesh in gruesome detail and brings to life a long-gone era with its strange smells, foods, fashions and principles. Though his uneducated characters often seem a little too articulate, their insights are excellent. Author of other well-regarded novels on the same period, Bahr treats the war as a natural disaster not unlike a hurricane. —Publishers Weekly.

Shanghai 1908: A.W. Bahr and China’s first art exhibition
No full textIn Old Chinese Porcelain and Works of Art in China, a catalogue published in 1911, its author, A. W. Bahr, claimed that the original exhibition of which the catalogue was a record, which had taken place in Shanghai three years earlier, was the first of its kind. Organized by the North-China Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society, the 1908 art exhibition was also, Bahr claimed, representative of China’s artistic legacy as it was then known. The organizing committee included Chinese representatives, and a significant number of Chinese collectors and dealers lent items, giving further credence to Bahr’s claims of the exhibition’s originality and compass. In this article these claims are examined in the light of the collecting tradition in China and in the West on the eve of a period that would, over the three succeeding decades, witness an increased understanding of China’s archaeological past. With the use of evidence from published and archival sources, the organization of the exhibition will also be discussed, as will the role of Abel William Bahr (1877–1959), who initiated both the exhibition and the subsequent catalogue

Portrait commissions and graphic work kept him busy till the time of his death in Berlin on 28th September 1932.Hermann Bahr, (born July 19, 1863, Linz, Upper Austria—died Jan. 15, 1934, Munich), Austrian author and playwright who championed (successively) naturalism, Romanticism, and Symbolism. After studying at Austrian and German universities, he settled in Vienna, where he worked on a number of newspapers. His early critical works illustrate the first phase of his career, in which he attempted to reconcile naturalism with romanticism. Later, under the influence of Maurice Maeterlinck, Bahr became a champion of mysticism and Symbolism. In 1903 Bahr was appointed director of the Deutsches Theater, Berlin, and in 1918 he was for a short time director of the Vienna Burgtheater. During World War I, under the influence of Catholicism, his novel Himmelfahrt (1916; “The Ascension”) represented the staunchly Catholic school of thought in his country
