Minimalist Lifestyle Practices in Contemporary German-Language Literature
Postapocalyptic Minimalism in Thomas von Steinaecker’s Die Verteidigung des Paradieses
In Thomas von Steinaecker’s 2016 science fiction novel Die Verteidigung des Paradieses (The Defense of Paradise), readers glimpse an apocalyptic future where Germany has been transformed into a hostile “Zone.” Here, however, the suspension of the paradigm of progress serves merely as a framework for imagining alternative forms of coexistence that all aim to lower the living standards in Western consumer societies and, in this way, may appear utop…
Speaking Anomalies
Speaking Anomalies: Subjunctive Narration in Kathrin Röggla’s “die ansprechbare” and “Der Wiedereintritt in die Geschichte I” Karin Krauthausen (bio) In recent years, the work of Kathrin Röggla has been the object of considerable attention. This interest has focused largely on a theme that can be identified in many of her literary essays, as well as in her lectures and texts on poetics: impending disaster—which is to say, a sudden interruption of…
Ermittlung der Empirie. Zu Ernst Machs Methode des Gedankenexperiments
Investigation of Empiricism. On Ernst Mach’s Conception of the Thought Experiment. The paper argues that Ernst Mach’s conception of the thought experiment from 1897/1905 holds a singular position in the lively discussions and repeated theorizations that have continued up to the present in relation to this procedure. Mach derives the thought experiment from scientific practice, and does not oppose it to the physical experiment, but, on the contrar…
A Writer Looking for His Writing Scene
Argument The famous Cahiers of Paul Valéry (1871–1945) cannot be reduced to a single scientific discipline, a specific philosophical tradition, or a literary genre. For today's reader these notebooks constitute a format sui generis , one very often characterized by an “observation of a second order”: in the Cahiers Valéry uses writing, drawing, and calculating not only for purposes of argumentation; he also pays attention to the significance of s…
Hans Blumenbergs möglicher Valéry
In der deutschsprachigen Geisteswissenschaft der 1960er Jahre spielen Paul Valérys Schriften eine wichtige Rolle bei der Ausbildung einer neuen interdisziplinären Forschung, für die insbesondere die Gruppe »Poetik und Hermeneutik« einstand. Vor diesem Hin
Paul Valéry and Geometry
In the course of the nineteenth century, the development of non-Euclidean geometries and topology led to wide-ranging discussions on the foundations of mathematics. The new mathematical objects and the accompanying disputes also became a source of fascination for literature. A paradigmatic instance of this is the French writer and theorist Paul Valéry (1871-1945), whose Cahiers (1894-1945) show a constant preoccupation with mathematical problems.…
