The Most Profound Confirmation of the Existence of a Dissonance: Émile Boutroux, Georg Simmel, and Lukács's Theory of the Novel, with an Outlook to History and Class Consciousness
Georg Lukács's argument of form and formation is traced from The Theory of the Novel to History and Class Consciousness, especially "Reification and the Consciousness of the Proletariat." The concept of form in The Theory of the Novel is compared to the contemporary philosophy of science by Émile Boutroux's and Georg Simmel's lectures on Kant and, in particular, Kantian aesthetics. Form and formation are in the scientific and in the aesthetic con…

Writing; The Scene of Writing Rüdiger Campe (bio) Translated by Bryan Klausmeyer (bio) and Johannes Wankhammer (bio) For Roland Barthes, the word or concept écriture can dissolve demarcations and rearrange classifications: 1) Écriture dissolves the boundaries between literary genres to the extent that it is at work both in literature and in criticism. (According to Barthes, this is a consequence of modernism—"undoubtedly since Mallarmé.") 2) As t…
Writing Scenes and the Scene of Writing: A Postscript
Writing Scenes and the Scene of WritingA Postscript Rüdiger Campe (bio) Writing's lack of independence of the world,its dependence on the maid who tends thefire, on the cat warming itself by the stove; itis even dependent on the poor old humanbeing warming himself by the stove. All theseare independent activities ruled by their ownlaws; only writing is helpless, cannot live initself, is a joke and a despair. —Franz Kafka, Diaries, December 6, 192…
The Paraclete and Fürsprache in Hölderlin's Homecoming
The Paraclete and Fürsprache in Hölderlin's Homecoming Rüdiger Campe (bio) Characterizing the poet's task through invoking comparative roles has been common practice throughout Renaissance and Humanist poetry. Early modern poetics revels in historical speculation on mythical heroes and singers, on kings and prophets as the precursors to the poet, and by doing so it reaches back to antiquity and, with intensified significance, to early Christianit…
Actor, Orator, Person: The Representation of Passion and the Passion of Representation in Hobbes’ Leviathan
The essay discusses personhood from the point of view of a critical history of representation and advocacy, focusing on Hobbes’s Leviathan, ch. I, XVI. Before introducing the constitutive concept of agency as based on the possession of one’s own words and deeds, Hobbes refers in the pre-conceptual genealogy of personhood to representation in theatrical and legal contexts. By discussing Hobbes’s chapter as well as representation in poetry (Horace)…

James Joyces A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man und die zwei Seiten des Romans: Bildung und Institution
This contribution discusses James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as an interplay between two related but distinct forms of the modern novel: the Bildungsroman which foregrounds the individual protagonist and his or her biography and the “novel of the institution” focusing on the institutional space in which lives are formed. The novel of the institution concentrates in this case on Stephen Dedalus’s education in the Jesuit colleges, while the B…
Is “the Political” a Romantic Concept?
This chapter analyzes Carl Schmitt’s concept of the political from the vantage point of German Romanticism. For Schmitt, Romanticism wasan intellectual attitude that precluded the concept and practice of “the political.” Through an in-depth reading of a preeminent document of political thought in German Romanticism, Novalis’s Love and Faith, this chapter considers and qualifies this view, arguing that “political theology” can be understood as a r…

Three Modes of Citation: Historical, Casuistic, and Literary Writing in Büchner
This contribution develops a comprehensive understanding of citation as a discursive process that comprises, among other forms of citation, quotation in historical writing, case histories, and literature. History proper and the genre of case histories are analyzed as asymmetrical—pragmatic—forms of citation, literature as a symmetrical form. Büchner's work is shown to be a unique site for opening the investigation on the practices of citation
Futures We Live In: Quetelet and Nietzsche
Social and ethical concepts in Western modernity are marked by orientation toward the future. Two modes of such orientation can be distinguished: the orientation toward a future that is structured as continuous with the present, on the one hand, and the orientation toward a future that constitutes a break with every preceding time, on the other. As examples of these two modes of futurity in the nineteenth century, Quetelet's social statistics—a f…
Form and Life in the Theory of the Novel
Literature and the History of Science
Over the past fifteen years the field of "Science and Literature" has become increasingly prominent. The reason for this development can be located in complementary tendencies in literary studies and the history of sciences, tendencies that seemed to eventually converge or even to coincide methodologically. "Representation" was—and still is, however implicitly and skeptically—used as a key concept in these methods. Contributions to this topic do …
