Steffen Schneider

Comparatio, Volume 7 (2015), Issue 1, Page 53 - 74

[...]

‘The Legend of St. Julian the Hospitaller’ is full of religious elements alluding to the tradition of mysti-cism. The present article analyzes the functions of these elements on different levels of the text: at first, mysticism serves as a means to construct the action and to depict the protagonist (i.e. his passage from the warrior to the ascetic saint); furthermore it provides the semanti [...]

The first decades of the 20th century are marked by an awakening interest in mysticism manifesting it-self in different social and cultural domains, literature, art and science. As a form of experience as well as a mode of thought and discourse, mysticism is inquired into and evaluated in its diverse variations, across confessional and cultural boundaries. Against the background of the contempo [...]

Jenseits der Geschichte. Ernst Jüngers Eumeswil im Zeichen der Posthistoire Beitrag

Nils Lundberg

Comparatio, Volume 7 (2015), Issue 2, Page 317 - 333

[...]

The following article elucidates in how far and to what extent Ernst Jünger’s novel Eumeswil reflects central motifs and conceptions that are programmatically connected to the notion of ‘posthistoire’ and its discursive presence during the second half of the 20th century. Focussing on the protagonist’s resignation in view of a highly pessimist understanding of ‘the end of history’ [...]

Balzacs Mystizismus und der „bouddha du nord“. Interpretationen der Lehren Swedenborgs in ‚Louis Lambert‘ und ‚Séraphîta‘. Zum Beziehungsdreieck von Wissenschaft, Mystik, Kunst Beitrag

Betül Dilmac

Comparatio, Volume 7 (2015), Issue 1, Page 39 - 51

[...]

As an object of literary reception the Swede Emanuel Swedenborg emerges less in his character as a natural scientist. Swedenborg attracted the interest of literary figures – such as August Strindberg, Charles Baudelaire or Jorge Luis Borges, for example – rather in his character as a visionary and expert on the transcendent. This is also true for his reception by Honoré de Balzac. In Balza [...]

Ähnlichkeit und Entstellung. Mindere Mimesis und maßgebender Anblick bei Platon und Walter Benjamin Beitrag

Friedrich Balke

Mimesis originally does not signify the imitation of things or actions, but refers to a representation in a dancing performance accompanied by song and music. Before Plato judged it according to its adequacy to ideas, it functioned as a fundamental medium of changing the self and becoming another in the context of religious cults. The article inquires into the continuing influence of a mimesis [...]

Nach der „République mondiale des Lettres“. Gibt es noch eine französischsprachige Weltliteratur? Beitrag

Wolfgang Asholt

Comparatio, Volume 7 (2015), Issue 2, Page 199 - 215

[...]

Since the publication of ‘La République mondiale des lettres’ by Pascale Casanova (The World Republic of Letters) in 1999, questions such as ‘What is world literature?’ (Damrosch), or ‘Where is World literature?’ (Pradeau/Samoyault) have been raised. These questions indicate that the notion has lost its former evidence in the wake of the “Philology of World literature” (1952) o [...]

Irene Albers

Comparatio, Volume 7 (2015), Issue 2, Page 181 - 198

[...]

Claude Simon’s ‘Album d’un amateur’ (1988) has hardly been noticed so far by scholars and researchers. The article offers a new reading of the work, whose principal aim consists not only in relating the ‘Album d’un amateur’ to Simon’s fictional universe, but also in revealing its programmatic character, insofar as Simon imparts a multi-medial dimension to his theoretical reflect [...]
