Heinrich von Kleist's problematic relationship with the philosophy and the aesthetics of idealism informs his parodic, rebellious, and destructive oeuvre. This book focuses on this relationship and examines Kleist's female leading characters and their role as amorphous ciphers for his own subversive aesthetic theory. Through parody these characters call into question idealist philosophy regarding truth, knowledge, and gender, and offer a theory of aesthetic representation that replaces traditional binary oppositions with pluralities and nonclosure. Nietzsche may have opened the door to postmodernism; however, Kleist unlocked it with four cunning female voices. This is the first book in Kleist scholarship to focus solely on Kleist's female leading figures and their symbolic role as both character and literary theory - a theory anticipating Derridean deconstruction.

Memory in German Romanticism treats memory as a core element in the production and reception of German art and literature of the Romantic era. The contributors explore the artistic expression of memory under the categories of imagination, image, and reception. Romantic literary aesthetics raises the subjective imagination to a level of primary importance for the creation of art. It goes beyond challenging reason and objectivity, two leading intellectual faculties of eighteenth-century Enlightenment, and instead elevates subjective invention to form and sustain memory and imagination. Indeed, memory and imagination, both cognitive functions, seek to assemble the elements of one’s own experience, either directed toward the past (memory) or toward the future (imagination), coherently into a narrative. And like memories, images hold the potential to elicit charged emotional responses; those responses live on through time, becoming part of the spatial and temporal reception of the artist and their work. While imagination generates and images trigger and capture memories, reception creates a temporal-spatial context for art, organizing it and rendering it "memorable," both for good and for bad. Thus, through the categories of imagination, image, and reception, this volume explores the phenomenon of German Romantic memory from different perspectives and in new contexts.

This book examines the theoretical affiliations between the most notable proponent of literary realism, Honoré de Balzac, and two understated but key representatives of the French New Wave, Éric Rohmer and Jacques Rivette. It argues that their film criticism, which gradually led to the establishment of a common aesthetic vision of cinema (the “politique des auteurs”), owes more to Balzac and the nineteenth-century novel than to any intellectual trend of the immediate post-war period. By considering the films of Rohmer and Rivette as an extension of their writings (essays, film reviews, scriptwriting, novels and interviews), this volume analyses the changing and sometimes opposed ways in which they applied Balzacian principles and themes to their cinematic practice. Essentially, it understands the exchange between art forms, past traditions and contemporaneous currents as the overlooked yet common thread that links these three authors, through their own re-appropriations of classical and romantic aesthetics in their explorations of modern French society. In doing so, this study provides further nuance to the “conservative” versus “progressist” rupture that is generally assumed between the two directors, and offers an innovative reading of The Human Comedy in the light of post-war ideas on authorship, film adaptation, classicism and modernism.

The history of literature about war is marked by a fundamental paradox: although war forms the subject of countless novels, dramas, poems, and films, it is often conceived as indescribable. Even as many writers strive towards an ideal of authenticity, they maintain that no representation can do justice to the terror and violence of war. Readings of Schiller, Kleist, Jünger, Remarque, Grass, Böll, Handke, and Jelinek reveal that stylistic and aesthetic features, gender discourses, and concepts of agency and victimization can all undermine a text's martial stance or its ostensible pacifist agenda. Spanning the period from the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars to the recent wars in Yugoslavia and Iraq, this book investigates the aesthetic, theoretical, and historical challenges that confront writers of war.

"This book scrutinizes for the first time a key element in Kleist's thought and poetic process: his obsession with the problem of passivity. Scholars have long been attracted to the dynamic, larger-than-life characters in Kleist's fiction and drama, overlooking the fact that Kleist's works often turn on moments of stasis, as these same protagonists are suddenly and sometimes brutally rendered passive. Through a careful, historically grounded, and original investigation incorporating extensive primary research in late-Enlightenment natural philosophy and eighteenth-century medical practices, the study sheds light on these nodal points in Kleist's work, contending that these structures of passivity are so pervasive and so systematic in his work that they can justifiably and profitably be viewed as constituting a kind of poetics."--BOOK JACKET.

Dieses Buch untersucht wie Heinrich von Kleist die Medien seiner Zeit handhabte. Es geht darum zu zeigen, wie eng Kleists literarisches Schaffen verbunden war mit seinen Publikationsprojekten, und zu diskutieren, wie seine Literatur als eine Reflexion der neuen politischen Ordnungen und kommunikativen Bedingungen um 1800 anzusehen ist. Die Untersuchung wirft einen intensiven Blick auf Kleists Mediennutzung und untersucht neben seiner Praxis des Briefeschreibens seine vielfältigen Publikationsprojekte z.B. die Kunstzeitschrift Phöbus oder die Berliner Abendblätter. Kleists literarisches Schaffen ist Teil dieser publizistischen Kalküle, stellt aber auch auf einer inhaltlich-ästhetischen Ebene immer wieder die Komplexität und das Scheitern von Kommunikation in den Vordergrund. Kleists philosophische und essayistische Texte wie der Text über das "Marionettentheater" bilden eine Matrix ab, die diese publizistischen und literarischen Experimente auf einer theoretischen Ebene beschreibbar machen. Kleists Arbeit als Autor, Theoretiker und Publizist war darauf ausgerichtet, Kommunikation neu zu denken und zu reflektieren, dass soziale Kommunikation um 1800 aus komplexen Interaktionen hervorging, die eine neue Einbindung de Publikums nötig machten.

Im Umgang mit Gattungen zeigen sich Konventionalität und Rebellion, Opportunismus und Widerständigkeit, Normativität und Anarchie des Schreibens. Vor dem Hintergrund der Gattungsfrage versammelt dieser Band kultur- und literaturwissenschaftliche Annäherungen an Kleist. Gattung wird in den Beiträgen nicht allein literaturgeschichtlich verstanden, sondern als philosophische, anthropologische, biologische, ästhetische und politische Kategorie diskutiert. Dabei rücken Figuren der Transgression, Restitution und Inkorporation von Ordnungssystemen ins Zentrum der Aufmerksamkeit. Kleist verleiht der Gattungsfrage um 1800 ein neues Gewicht.
