  • The 'Postmodernism' of Ernst Junger in His Proto-Fascist Stage

    Walter H SokelARTICLENew German Critique1993Cited by: 1

    Ernst Jiinger's Der Arbeiter (1932) describes socio-cultural tendencies which he sees emerging from the ending of the bourgeois age. Jtinger's concept of the bourgeois age roughly coincides with what Jurgen Habermas has called modernity. Jiinger sees the bourgeois age beginning to be superseded by another age, the age of the Worker. The age of the Worker is presented by him as something radically new, something more modern than modernity. The age…

  • Frozen Sea and River of Narration

    Walter H SokelARTICLENew Literary History1986

    propose to deal here with an interplay of three particularly important poetologies and show how their mutually contradictory relationship can be used as an approach to Kafka's works in general and his two firsts in particular-Description of a Struggle, his oldest extant narrative, and The Judgment, in which he saw the work of his breakthrough. One of Kafka's very first poetological utterances is found in a letter of the nineteen-year-old to Oskar…

  • Between Gnosticism and Jehovah

    Walter H SokelARTICLEThe Germanic Review Literature…1985

    IKAKFA WAS CERTAINLY not religious in a conventional dogmatic sense. One of his few statements about God, for instance, suggests that belief in a personal God may be the cover under which man's faith in something indestructible in himself is concealed-a view which resembles Feuerbach's humanism rather than theistic religion.' Kafka views his lack of religion as symptomatic of his historical situation: have not been led into life like Kierkegaard …

  • The Changing Role of Eros in Wedekind's Drama

    Walter H SokelARTICLEThe German Quarterly1966

    For Wedekind there always existed a close connection between tragedy and eros. 'While this link itself remained permanent, the view of it changed markedly and radically. This paper attempts to sketch this change and to indicate its significance for Wedekind's work and development. Friihlingserwachen (1891) constitutes the major work of the first stage. In this drama of adolescence, tragedy stems not from eros itself, but from society's attempt to…
