Human Rights in a Global World
In Rathlef's and Ziegler's plays the need for human rights becomes tangible through the seemingly Other, disrupting the quotidian order of the (bourgeois) realm. The plays explore racial premises placed in close relationship with intertextual correlates, in particular bourgeois tragedies where the female protagonists embody complex moral values in a challenging environment: both plays under scrutiny here similarly rely on the moral impeccability …

Metaphorical Contracts and Games
The question of how to devise and justify political order for a secular age is still at the heart of political discourse today. Social contracts provided an early political and philosophical answer to these issues, but they also manifested themselves in eighteenth-century German literature: This article will examine how Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Friedrich Schiller engaged with the specific propositions of contractarianism (in particular Thom…
The Relational Self
This work examines Han Suyin’s representation of her Eurasian identity in relation to her maternal inheritance, focusing on her autobiography The Crippled Tree, the first volume in the series China: Autobiography, History. Drawing on Paul John Eakin’s concept of relationality in life writing, we consider that Han’s Eurasian identity was formed through her interactions and negotiations with significant others such as her mother. We argue that Han …
Settled and Unsettled Spaces
In Sophie von La Roche’s novel Erscheinungen am See Oneida (1797/98), property not only functions as a category that assists the “imposition of the same system of exchange everywhere” (as G. C. Spivak postulates for the processes of globalization); La Roche also emphasizes the bioconnective dimensions and the corresponding ethical limitations of access. La Roche’s valiant settlers and their environment are emphatically understood as a holistic, l…
Autorität
Der Begriff der Autorität verortet sich im 20. Jahrhundert in einer komplexen Matrix zwischen zeitgeschichtlichem Problembewusstsein, »konservativem« Denken und politischer Theoriebildung. Drei Perspektiven kennzeichnen die Rede von Autorität im 20. Jahrhundert: erstens die vermeintliche Krise einer vormals fraglosen Gültigkeit, zweitens der Versuch genealogischer Rückversicherung durch Versatzstücke der Tradition und drittens die Behauptung, Aut…
Joachim Heinrich Campe’s Robinson the Younger
In his adaptation of Robinson Crusoe, Campe sets out to examine the legitimacy of his contemporary social reality (in Europe in the broadest sense) by tracing its origin back to the most basic roots conceivable. The experimental character of his book is emphasised and—to an extent—explicitly introduced through the frame narrative which constitutes Campe’s most important addition to Defoe’s story: Here the emergence of the rules and routines are e…
Silke-Maria Weineck. The Tragedy of Fatherhood
Dynamics of exemption
This Special Issue compiles selected contributions from a workshop held in the School of Modern Languages and Cultures at Durham University, United Kingdom in 2013. The introduction details the specific terminology and the epistemological interest in aesthetic representations of `gangs`, here understood as a lens through which a conventional understanding of morality can be scrutinised
The free zone
This article scrutinises concepts of deregulation against the backdrop of the 'New Capitalism' as presented in the episode 'Hamsterdam' in the American TV series, The Wire: when the major in charge of the Western District of Baltimore secretly decides to pull the police force from the war on drugs in order to re-dedicate their energy to police work proper, he de facto legalises drugs in a specific quarter of his district. Read through theories of…
Chaos Und Form, Raum Und Ethos in Stifters Bunte Steine
Form, order, and the desire to create structure are ubiquitous in Adalbert Stifter's work, both as theme and in the presentation of his oeuvre. It is striking that quotidian rituals and emergency situations such as thunder and snowstorms are often intrinsically tied to places. In Stifter's narratives the spatial concurrence of danger as a manifestation of formlessness, and structure as a potential remedy for the precarious situations, reveals a s…
