Recovering Kafka's rhetorical unconscious
Kafka has become answerable to cultural studies, in one form or another, to an extraordinary degree—a fact that speaks for the seemingly inexhaustible ability of his work to accommodate “forms of the real” both contemporaneous with his writing and in the decades following. So, there is Kafka, with his celebrated “Ohr für das Kommende,” held, as in “Beim Bau der Chinesischen Mauer,” Das Schloß, and Der Proceß, to have anticipated today's intractab…
The Mind in Exile
Walter Kaufmann
The first complete account of the ideas and writings of a major figure in twentieth-century intellectual lifeWalter Kaufmann (1921-1980) was a charismatic philosopher, critic, translator, and poet who fled Nazi Germany at the age of eighteen, emigrating alone to the United States. He was astonishingly prolific until his untimely death at age fifty-nine, writing some dozen major books, all marked by breathtaking erudition and a provocative essayis…
A Meditation on Prizes
A Meditation on Prizes Stanley Corngold I will attempt a short phenomenology of the prize, including evocations of personal experience, which might be validated by their historical dimension, since I am of an age when my personal experience derives from the (very) long nineteenth century. That a phenomenological approach might include an appeal to subjective experience should come as no surprise, since what is phenomenology except a refined, mask…

The Distinction of Fiction
The Aesthetic Will
The scholar David Halliburton is now completing a two-volume work of masterpiece proportions entitled On the Fateful Discourse of Worldly Things, a summa of his thinking on the rhetoric of politics and literature following a major engagement with Heidegger's poetics. The range of thinkers and poets he cites and discusses is wide and various, but Halliburton's allusions to Hölderlin (1770-1843) and the epistolary novel Hyperion (1797-99) are strik…

David Schur's elegant, incisive study of figure of the way-a figure of philosophical method-leads from Heraclitus and Parmenides over Plato and Heidegger's readings of Heraclitus on past Maurice Blanchot's reading of Kafka to Kafka's parable On Parables and The Judgment. goal is to show a striking regularity in rhetorical elaboration of this figure (hodos) in a o…

Franz Kafka
In Stanley Corngold?s view, the themes and strategies of Kafka?s fiction are generated by a tension between his concern for writing and his growing sense of its arbitrary character. Analyzing Kafka?s work in light of ?the necessity of form,? which is also a merely formal necessity, Corngold uncovers the fundamental paradox of Kafka?s art and life. The first section of the book shows how Kafka?s rhetoric may be understood as the daring project of …

Wit and Judgment in the Eighteenth Century
In the eighteenth century, in the work of Lessing and Kant, the fortunes of wit and judgment divide. The opposition between these categories grows marked: in Lessing's Hamburgische Dramaturgie (1767-68)1 judgment scourges wit, emphatically. When the category of judgment reappears in central position in Kant's Kritik der Urteilskraft (1790),2 it is no longer as the scourge of wit but certainly as its supercessor. Wit has no place in aesthetic judg…

Where Babylon Ends
A severe will to form runs through the first three volumes of Nathaniel Tarn's poetry: Old Savage/Young City (1964), Selection: Penguin Modern Poets No. 7 (1965), and Where Babylon Ends (1968). Here a poetic consciousness has determined to constitute itself in forms exactiy adequate to itself, to open the algebraic eyes of paradise. The poetry recounts the conditions of its making, noting the absence of a source, the difficulty of beginning and t…
Sein und Zeit
The effect upon poetics of Sein und Zeit during the fifty years of its history now has a history of its own. Explicit references to in Sein und Zeit are in fact very few. For this reason Beda Allemann speaks of an absence of connection between Sein und Zeit and the phenomenon of as such (and not merely as pre-ontological evidence).l But he goes on to note that apparently nothing stands in the way of interpreting the results of the existential ana…

Freud as a Literary Text
Last fall the abduction Schleyer, the hijacking the Lufthansa jet, and the suicide Baader and Raspe struck France as a lightning flash for one instant illuminating Germany as a sort blasted mass-perhaps a desert or a lunar landscape, but more sinister: enshadowed, indefiniite, yet lurking too. It was possible, it seemed, to say anything precise about Germany except as what the flash light, the flash truth, lit up: only as what the lightning flash…

Mann as a Reader of Nietzsche
Toward the end of his life, in 1952, Thomas Mann wrote to Hermann Weigand this triumphant sentence: Even in these times it is possible for a man to construct out of his life and work a culture, a small cosmos, in which everything is interrelated, which, despite all diversity, forms a complete personal whole, and which stands more or less on an equal footing with the life-syntheses of earlier ages.1 According to Harold Bloom in The Anxiety of Infl…
