Thomas Mann in English A Study in Literary Translation
No full textThomas Mann owes his place in world literature to the dissemination of his works through translation. Indeed, it was the monumental success of the original English translations that earned him the title of 'the greatest living man of letters' during his years in American exile (1938-52). This book provides the first systematic exploration of the English versions, illustrating the vicissitudes of literary translation through a principled discussion of a major author. The study illuminates the contexts in which the translations were produced before exploring the transformations Mann's work has undergone in the process of transfer. An exemplary analysis of selected textual dimensions demonstrates the multiplicity of factors which impinge upon literary translation, leading far beyond the traditional preoccupation with issues of equivalence. Thomas Mann in English thus fills a gap both in translation studies, where Thomas Mann serves as a constant but ill-defined point of reference, and in literary studies, which has focused increasingly on the author's wider reception.FC -- New Directions in German Studies -- Volumes in the series -- Title -- Copyright -- Dedication -- Contents -- 1 Introduction: Thomas Mann in English -- 2 Translation and retranslation: The history of Thomas Mann's works in English -- 3 Helen Tracy Lowe-Porter, Thomas Mann and the practice of translation -- 4 An exercise in translation comparison: Der Zauberberg -- 5 Transferring the paratextual: The translation of Thomas Mann's titles -- 6 The translation of discourse forms: Speech and thought presentation in Buddenbrooks -- 7 Translating modes of address as an index of interpersonal dynamics -- 8 Syntactic form and literary meaning in translation -- 9 Conclusion -- Bibliography -- IndexThomas Mann owes his place in world literature to the dissemination of his works through translation.

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

Narrative Argumentation : Textverfahren zwischen Literatur und Philosophie in Robert Musils Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften /
No full textDie Frage nach dem Verhältnis von Literatur und Philosophie ist bis heute Gegenstand intensiver Debatten. Anhand von Musils Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften macht Gnüchtel die in Frage stehende »Philosophizität« literarischer Texte als Textverfahren narrativer Argumentation explizierbar. In Auseinandersetzung mit der literaturtheoretischen und sprachanalytischen Fiktionalitätsforschung sowie der Musilforschung entwickelt Gnüchtel einen Analyseapparat, der Musils Text in ein neues Licht rückt. Er zeigt, wie literarische Erzähltexte philosophische Thesen aufstellen und argumentativ begründen. Musils Werk erweist sich als prototypischer Text, der die Grenzen zwischen Literatur und Philosophie durch Verfahren narrativer Argumentation unterläuft. Die Studie leistet einen systematischen Beitrag zur theoretischen Debatte um Literatur und Philosophie und bereichert die Philologie um wichtige Erkenntnisse zu Musils epochalem Mammutfragment.Originally presented as the author's doctoral thesis (Universität, Osnabrück).Includes bibliographical references.Die Frage nach dem Verhältnis von Literatur und Philosophie ist bis heute Gegenstand intensiver Debatten.
