    Open AccessHans Ulrich GumbrechtARTICLEHistoria y Grafía2023

    A partir de una concepción diferente, tanto de Fukuyama como de sus críticos, acerca del llamado “fin de la Historia”, se plantean dos formas de concebir este “fin”. En primer lugar, que la visión histórica del mundo ha perdido su anterior centralidad institucional en el espacio de lo cotidiano, y, en segundo, que la disciplina requiere una profunda revisión de sus premisas, por lo que ha de redefinir sus potenciales funciones, y finalmente, sust…

  • Expansive Energy: An Alternative Portrait of Denis Diderot

    Hans Ulrich GumbrechtARTICLENew Literary History2023

    Historians of the Enlightenment are stymied by Denis Diderot's cloven polymathy. An insoluble dilemma arises between, on one hand, the amazing range of interests attested in his roles as both editor and contributor for the Encyclopédie and, on the other hand, his incorrigible dilettantism, in the centrifugal and often inconclusive pursuit of whatever topic came his way. We will do better to relinquish synthesis and highlight instead the multiplic…

  • Embodiment, empathy, rituals. What to do with the past after the end of history: Corporação, empatia, rituais. O que fazer com o passado após o fim da história

    Open AccessHans Ulrich GumbrechtARTICLECaminhos da História2022

    Partindo dos pressupostos de que, em primeiro lugar, a disciplina acadêmica de “História” estava alicerçada na “visão histórica do mundo”, tal como se estabeleceu por volta de 1830 e que, em segundo lugar, não prevalece mais no cotidiano do nosso presente, este ensaio levanta a questão de quais as consequências poderia ter a prática dos historiadores. Com foco na “corporificação” como um novo modo de mediação entre passado e presente, discute-se …

  • El espacio del pensar de Baltasar Gracián

    Open AccessHans Ulrich GumbrechtARTICLEHistoria y Grafía2021

    Baltasar Gracián impresionó a la posteridad como una figura de perfil llamativo, entre cuya obra y circunstancias de vida existía una relación formativa y esclarecedora. Los eruditos que lo han estudiado pusieron de relieve sobre todo aspectos específicos: por ejemplo, su lugar en la tradi- ción de la historia intelectual, problemas filológicos individuales de di- fícil resolución, o momentos de particular intensidad en la historia de la recepció…

    Hans Ulrich GumbrechtBOOKProse of the World2021Cited by: 1

    A lively examination of the life and work of one of the great Enlightenment intellectuals Philosopher, translator, novelist, art critic, and editor of the Encyclopédie , Denis Diderot was one of the liveliest figures of the Enlightenment. But how might we delineate the contours of his diverse oeuvre, which, unlike the works of his contemporaries, Voltaire, Rousseau, Schiller, Kant, or Hume, is clearly characterized by a centrifugal dynamic? Takin…

    Die interdisziplinäre Forschungsgruppe »Poetik und Hermeneutik« und ihre Mitglieder haben die geistes- und kulturwissenschaftliche Landschaft der alten Bundesrepublik geprägt wie vielleicht sonst nur noch die Kritische Theorie. Zahlreiche Interviews mit den wichtigsten noch lebenden Akteuren erlauben einen ebenso erkenntnisreichen wie unterhaltsamen Blick hinter die Kulissen von Poetik & Hermeneutik. Unter welchen Bedingungen und mit welchen Absi…

  • Jak podchodzić do „poezji jako rodzaju uwagi”

    Open AccessHans Ulrich GumbrechtARTICLEForum Poetyki2016

    Publikujemy jeden z ważniejszych tekstów poetologicznych Hansa Ulricha Gumbrechta, w którym pokazał, jak pewne formalne aspekty poezji umożliwiają nieoczekiwane doświadczenia temporalne. Oto podczas lektury konkretnego wiersza pod wpływem prozodii czas staje w miejscu, a przeszła chwila staje się na nowo obecna. Gumbrecht łączy swoje rozpoznanie z sytuacją współczesnych czytelniczek i czytelników literatury, którzy, jak zauważa, zamieszkują od ja…

  • The Beautiful Form of Sadness: "Machado de Assis' "Memorial de Aires

    Open AccessHans Ulrich GumbrechtARTICLEPortuguese Literary and Cultural…2016

    Memorial de Aires is not simply a novel of sadness but a novel that shows how sadness can grow into a form between the dimensions and through the movements of time. Between an existential future that can only hold nothing, a present that has become empty, and a past that is now receding from the present, time appears to move slowly. It is from this perspective that we can read Machado de Assis' Memorial de Aires and Martin Heidegger's Sein und Ze…

  • "Já não mais "a coisa mais importante dentre as menos importantes: A presença do futebol como provocação intelectual

    Open AccessHans Ulrich GumbrechtARTICLEPrometeus2016

    Para a Copa do Mundo de Futebol de 1974, a seleção alemã - que, a propósito, sendo a favorita e jogando em casa, venceu sem qualquer brilho - gravou, pela primeira vez, uma canção cantada em coro, cujos título ("Futebol é a nossa vida") e verso mais famoso ("Futebol Soberano rege o mundo")nos fazem hoje recordar o statussocial de que gozava o esporte em torno de meio século atrás. Naturalmente, a intenção da letra era ser "bem-humorada", para ser…

    Este artigo reflete sobre a relação entre pedagogia e a filosofia da presença, argumentando a favor da incorporação desta última na formação de professores, especialmente na área de história da educação.

Apontam para a necessidade de se considerar os ganhos e perdas dessa substi…

    Since 2008, the Georgia State University doctoral training program in Community Psychology has made several modifications to coursework requirements, qualifying examinations, community practicum requirements, and advisement processes.

  • The Future of Reading? Memories and Thoughts toward a Genealogical Approach

    Hans Ulrich GumbrechtARTICLEboundary 22014

    Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht’s “The Future of Reading? Memories and Thoughts Toward a Genealogical Approach” asks a fundamental question: How does the younger generation of students and readers approach a text, and in which ways does their constant reading via one online device or another, as a ubiquitous electronic background activity, change their experience of interacting with the printed word? Gumbrecht bases his observations on two seminars that he…

  • Incarnation, Now: Five Brief Thoughts and a Non-Conclusive Ending

    Hans Ulrich GumbrechtARTICLECommunication and Critical/Cultural…2011Cited by: 1

    This article problematizes the renewed appeal of incarnation, a signifier that points to a vague desire in our present and perhaps, altogether, to an unclear future promise, rather than to the complex history of elaborate theological meanings with which the word had long been related. Incarnation is one among a number of concepts and topics that had become almost unspeakable since the eighteenth century—and that have recently returned to intellec…

  • Introduction: The Long Shadow Of Political Theology

    Hans Ulrich GumbrechtARTICLEModern Language Notes2011

    Introduction:The Long Shadow Of Political Theology Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht (bio) Strictly speaking, the phrase "political theology in the Middle Ages" is anachronistic—even anachronistic on different levels. But to identify such tensions between a historical environment and a complex meaning can become a way of unfolding the latter's intellectual potential. In our specific case, it may enable us to see more distinctly that long shadow by which a ce…
