A Minor Form and Its Inversions
A Minor Form and Its Inversions: The Image, the Poem, the Book in Celan’s “Unter ein Bild” 1 Timothy Bahti (bio) There is perhaps no form more minor in today’s culture of literacy than that of the lyric poem. In our mass culture the lyrics of popular music have absorbed all sense and status of “the lyric,” while graffiti are more regularly and widely read than any printed poems. In our university culture, where methods are deployed and ideologica…

Redrawing the Lines
End and Ending
Wallace Stevens's themes, their origins and their goals, lend themselves to explication, indeed, to the understanding that themes are what explicate or unfold themselves from origin to end. But in between the origins and goals of a poetic career or, for that matter, of an individual poem, are its words and their ends. The shaping of words toward their poetic ends is a formal achievement of the poems' technique which may be met by a reading's atte…
Histories of the University
Speaking of the university-already, today, speaking of the university would mean speaking of its histories. Histories, in the plural, although it is perhaps inevitable that they will be heard as one: for today, speaking of the university would mean, apparently, speaking of the modern university. The modern university follows its path-its historical path; thus, a history-up to the today when one is speaking, and to the place, today's modern univer…

[Discussion on Bahti]
Fate in the past
Paul de Man once remarked that what most interested him in Peter Szondi's Traktat Uber philologische Erkenntnis-that methodological position paper that remains, in my opinion, his most eloquent and capacious statement-was not general argument about place of hermeneutics in contemporary German literary studies, but rather more specific question Szondi raised of whether a passage in Hl61derlin was metaphorical or not, suggesting that this question …

Coleridge's "Kubla Khan" and the Fragment of Romanticism
La signification negative du fragment romantique chez C., dans le poeme epique K. K., comme fragment du romantisme laisse comme probleme a la critique: les lectures du romantisme restent les fragments, l'allegorie, de sa signification. L'impossibilite de la totalisation de la dialectique speculaire fragment-totalite et l'horizon d'une lecture litteraire non absolue (Lacoue-Labarthe et Nancy)
History as Rhetorical Enactment
An Interview with Hans Robert Jauss
Q: In 1972 you came to the conclusion that the of had introduced a new paradigm for literary studies. Do you still hold this opinion? Rene Wellek, for example, has demurred, noting that there have always been investigations like the of reception; Manfred Naumann speaks of a swing of the pendulum rather than a change of paradigms. In other words, what was paradigmatically new that the of brought to literary studies? A: As in other disciplines, a s…
