Zur Inszenierung körperlicher Defizite als Manifestation poetischer Potenz in Ulrichs von Liechtenstein ‘Frauendienst’

Aufsatz von Ronny F. Schulz

Abstract

This essay deals with the mise-en-scène of art and disability in Ulrich von Liechtenstein’s Frauendienst, a fictional autobiography from around 1250. The operation of a cleft lip of the first-person narrator and the cutting off of a finger in the service of his lady are read against the background of various discourses. It turns out that the medical topic is transformed into a poetological discourse: The physical infirmity is, e.g., idealized and aestheticized when the truncated finger is included into a golden book cover. In thematizing disability, however, it also becomes clear that the poet’s sufferings make him distinguishable from the sufferings of others and that he ultimately finds a unique characteristic in his suffering.

Buckel, Blutsturz und das tägliche Befinden. Widerständige Körperlichkeit im Zeitalter der Autonomie (Lichtenberg, Schiller, Stifter)

Aufsatz von Daniel Ehrmann

Abstract

Vitality is a main aspect of literature since the 18th century. The new conception of literature as art, that was developed around 1770, also changed the notion of the poet, who act as a ‘second maker’ and creates works of art as an effigy of himself. Not all and even some of the most famous authors between 1750 and 1850 fit this very influential depiction. The paper presents reasons for that in the historical context and explores some of the consequences. It lays out the frictions between the notion of autonomous production and the actual limitations imposed on it by the bodies that have to execute it.
