Critique as Counterproduction: Repair Work in Alexander Kluge The Germanic Review: Literature, Culture, Theory (IF 0.1) Pub Date : 2023-09-04 Jörg Kreienbrock
Abstract This essay investigates the notion of counterproduction in the writings of Alexander Kluge. In Kongs große Stunde (2015), Kluge identifies counterproduction as an essentially reparative practice. It combines a constructive ethos of care with the deconstructive attitude of critique. In this sense, repair work as counterproduction offers a model to overcome the age-old dichotomies of theory

Kracauer, Bachofen, and the “bedeutungsleere Naturfundament” The Germanic Review: Literature, Culture, Theory (IF 0.1) Pub Date : 2023-09-04 Carl Gelderloos
Abstract In his 1927 essay “Die Photographie,” Siegfried Kracauer attributes to photography the ability to intervene in the dialectic, as old as history itself, between nature and thought. Paradoxically, precisely because photography can only reproduce meaningless fragments of the visible world in its attempt to offer a total, gapless coverage of reality, its failure can render the process of signification

Without Beginning or End1 The Germanic Review: Literature, Culture, Theory (IF 0.1) Pub Date : 2023-06-02 Ulrike Haß
Abstract The chorus is not an invention of the theater. From the far-branching rural Dionysias, the chorus once started out, to appear in the Greek poleis in the early fifth century BCE. These new city-states were based on strict binary divisions: polis and oikos, skene and orchestra, protagonist and chorus, man and woman. The missing link in-between these opposites is called cosmos. The chorus, which

Der komische Chor – das Chorische der ‚komischen Person‘ The Germanic Review: Literature, Culture, Theory (IF 0.1) Pub Date : 2023-06-02 Bettine Menke
Abstract While the tragic chorus has drawn much attention and analysis, the comedic chorus has gone largely overlooked in the fields of classical philology, literary studies, philosophy, and theater studies. But the chorus of Greek comedy is distinct from that of tragedy. It is a kind of swarm. It lives on in the comical personage of later comedies, though these presumably have no chorus. The choruses

Kitchen and Cosmos: Chorus, Gender, and Politics in Aristophanes' Ekklesiazusai (Assembly Women) The Germanic Review: Literature, Culture, Theory (IF 0.1) Pub Date : 2023-06-02 Sebastian Kirsch
Abstract This paper presents a re-reading of Aristophanes’s comedy Ekklesiazusai (Assembly Women). It shows that this play exhibits the aporias of the binary gender order, which evolved in classical fifth-century Athens, along with other dualisms typical of the period, such as the opposition of pólis and oíkos. The paper argues that Aristophanes negotiates these dualisms against the background of changing

Abstract Against the backdrop of approaches that frame the Anthropocene in scenic terms (“Anthropo-scene,” Una Chaudhuri), this paper examines scenic ecologies in Arno Schmidt’s Black Mirrors and Werner Herzog’s Lessons of Darkness. Based on the analysis of the spatio-temporality and agency of Schmidt’s and Herzog’s scenic ecologies, the essay explores the extent to which the chorus facilitates a rethinking
