Von Dante zu Derrida. Kabbala und Literaturtheorie

Le texte peut être consulté en ligne: http://tillkuhnle.homepage.t-online.de/Text11.pdf En partant de Dante et de la méthode pour lire des allégories qu'il a présentée dans sa 13e épitre à Cangrande della Scala, puis de Giovanni Pico della Mirandola (De arte cabalistica), l'article cherche à démontrer l'importance du Sohar pour la génèse d'une théorie de la littérature. Des auteurs ou penseurs comme Blanchot, Borges, Derrida, Eco et de Saussure sont cités. Par ailleurs, sont présentées les ébauches d'une (re)lecutre de la "Comédie" de Dante et du "Pendule de Foucault" d'Eco. Autres auteurs cités: G. Genette, E. Jabès, Lévi-Straus, Novalis, G. Scholem. Des éléments de cette contribution ont été repris dans le texte "Aleph ou la parole des origines" (Cahiers Benjamin Fondane 17, référence sur HAL

Casanova beschrieb in seinen Memoiren bei seinen amourösen Abenteuern eingehend den Gebrauch von Coitus interruptus und Kondomen zur Schwangerschaftsverhütung. Die Masturbation wurde von ihm eher im Zusammenhang mit der reinen sexuellen Triebstillung beschrieben. Die Vermeidung von Geschlechtskrankheiten stand für ihn beim Gebrauch von Kondomen nicht im Vordergrund. Zeitgenossen wie James Boswell, der Marquis d’Argens, der Comte de Mirabeau oder der Marquis de Sade beschrieben neben den von Casanova genannten Methoden zur Schwangerschaftsverhütung den Analverkehr, den Oralverkehr, das Einlegen von mit verschiedenen Mixturen getränkten Schwämmen in die Scheide und den Geschlechtsverkehr von Männern und Frauen untereinander, im Sinne der homosexuellen Liebe. De Sade hob sich bezüglich der Direktheit seiner Beschreibungen von allen anderen deutlich ab. Er schilderte mit großer Detailverliebtheit das, was sonst nur angedeutet wurde. Das Risiko der Ansteckung mit einer Geschlechtskrankheit wurde von ihm angesprochen. Anal- und Oralverkehr nannte er als konkrete Möglichkeiten der Vermeidung einer Infektion, wenngleich dieses aus heutiger Sicht nicht das Infektionsrisiko als solches verminderte, sondern nur den Infektionsort vom Genitalbereich an andere Stellen verlagerte. Zusammenfassend läßt sich sagen, daß im 18. Jahrhunderts mit Masturbation, Oral- und Analverkehr, Gebrauch von Kondomen, Einlegen von getränkten Schwämmen in die Scheide und Coitus interruptus verschiedene Methoden zur Schwangerschaftsverhütung bekannt waren. Der Zugang zu entsprechender Literatur war aber nur dem kleinen, gebildeten Teil der Bevölkerung möglich. Entsprechende Bücher zu erwerben wurde durch die dazu notwendigen finanziellen Mittel weiter eingeschränkt. Die Tabuisierung des Themas durch die Kirche tat ein ihriges dazu, diese Erkenntnisse auf eine verhältnismäßig kleine Gesellschaftsgruppe zu beschränken. Die Vermeidung von Geschlechtskrankheiten mußte aus gesellschaftlichen Gründen hinter die Notwendigkeit der Schwangerschaftsverhütung zurücktreten

El Arte Erótico de Mihály Zichy

Nueva edición del libro El arte erótico de Mihály Zichy (segunda edición), consta de 39 láminas comentadas. Zichy, de origen Húngaro (1827-1906) es considerado unánimemente por la crítica como uno de los mejores artistas eróticos del siglo diecinueve. Pero existe todo una controversia y desconocimiento como dice el autor en cuanto a entender porqué es arte erótico y porqué no llamar a esto pornografía barata

Heraldy of Vukčić Hrvatinić

U radu se razmatra heraldička ostavština pripadnika obitelji Vukčić Hrvatinić (Hrvoja, Katarine i Jurja Vojsalića) koja je zasvjedočena izvorima sfragističke, numizmatičke i heraldičke naravi, kao i reljefima u kamenu i kovini. U slučaju reljefa na zidu jajačkih katakombi autor daje novo viđenje opredjeljujući se za heraldičku manifestaciju žalovanja u skladu s funerarno – sepulkralnom namjenom samoga prostora. S obzirom da su u dosadašnjim historiografskim, heraldičkim i numizmatičkim radovima rabljeni u osnovi pogrešni nazivi za oba Hrvojeva grba autor daje prijedlog novoga, odgovarajućega, nazivlja. U slučaju grbova Hrvoja Vukčića Hrvatinića potvrđeni su raniji stavovi o njihovu podrijetlu i heraldičkim uzorima za formiranje; utvrđene su i vremenski situirane etape njihova razvoja. Autor također određuje podrijetlo križeva na jednome njegovu grbu. Pri istraživanju etapa razvoja Hrvojevih grbova autor zaključuje da je prije uvođenja prvoga grba s figurama prvoga seniora splitski herceg morao imati svoj, za sada samo djelimično dokumentirani, osobni grb (protogrb), te definira njegove elemente (figure). U slučaju moćnika što ih je dala izraditi Katarina Vukčić Hrvatinić analizirani su vrijeme i kontekst njihove pojave, te je na temelju podataka iz izvorne diplomatičke građe, povijesnih podataka i analize pečata obitelji Kosača data nova atribucija grba na njima. Autor se u pitanju pečata Jurja Vojsalića Hrvatinića opredjeljuje se za jednu od dvije ranije definirane inačice. Na temelju izvornih podataka rekonstruirani su izvorni metali i boje grbova Hrvoja i Katarine, a na temelju analogije predpostavljeni metali i boje protogrba i Jurjeva grba, te su utvrđene izmjene nastale s kasnijim tzv. Ilirskim grbovnikom. Autor na kraju daje shematski prikaz razvojnoga puta heraldike Vukčića Hrvatinića koji obuhvata sve poznate inačice grbova pripadnika ove obitelji u razmatranome četrdesetogodišnjem razdoblju.The article offers an analysis of the heraldic legacy of several members of the Vukčić Hrvatinić family (Hrvoje, Katarina, and Juraj Vojsalić), attested in sources of sphragistic, numismatic, and heraldic nature, as well as in stone and metal reliefs. The author has taken into account the heraldic images in coins issued by Hrvoje as a Herzog of Split, in his Glagolitic missal, a relief on the wall of his catacombs in Jajce, and in the so-called Illyrian Book of Heraldry, which has been considered as a secondary source. As for the relief on the wall of his catacombs in Jajce, the author has offered a fresh insight, opting for the heraldic representation of mourning in accordance with the funerary-sepulchral function of the given space. Regarding the fact that the present historiographic, heraldic, and numismatic scholarship has used rather erroneous terminology for Hrvoje’s two coats-of-arms, the author has here proposed new and more adequate terms. Earlier hypotheses on the origin of Hrvoje’s heraldry and its models in the light of their bearer’s vassal status and his change of seniors (first Ladislaus of Naples and then Sigismund of Luxemburg) have been confirmed, and the origin of crosses on one of his coats-of-arms clarified. The author has also established an evolutionary chronology of Hrvoje’s heraldry. Since the first coat-of-arms (with figures on the shield and in ornamentation) used by Hrvoje appears in many variants, the author has analysed their development and established an order of emergence, followed by an analysis of the substitution of this coat-of-arms through a second one, taking into account the monetary reasons for this heraldic reform. As for the evolution of Hrvoje’s heraldry, the author has concluded that, before introducing the first coat-of-arms with the figures of his first senior, the duke must have had his own, personal proto-heraldry, which has so far been documented only fragmentarily, and defined its elements (figures). Thereby the only available data on the heraldry of other members of the Vukčić Hrvatinić family offered by the contemporary primary sources has taken into consideration: reliquaries commissioned by Katarina and the seal of Juraj Vojsalić, used by Hrvoje’s children Vuk and Vojislav. As for the heraldic symbol on the reliquaries, the author has assigned it to Katarina on the basis of diplomatic sources, historical data, and an analysis of a seal of the Kosač family (thus refuting the previous scholarly attributions to Duke Sandalj Hranić), while in the case of heraldry on Juraj’s seal, one of the previously established variants has been corroborated. The original metal types and colours of the coats-ofarms of Hrvoje and Katarina have been reconstructed, and analogy has been used in order to propose the metal types and colours of the proto-heraldry and Juraj’s heraldry, indicating subsequent alterations introduced by the so-called Illyrian Book of Heraldry. Eventually, the author has offered a schematic presentation of the evolution of heraldry of the Vukčić Hrvatinić family, including all the heraldic variants known to have been present in this family during the forty-year long period that has been the focus of this research

« Bonne fortune, galanterie et jeu sont fort souvent capricieux ». Stabilité et crise des rôles sexués dans le jeu à l'époque moderne

Depuis le début de l'époque moderne, il n'est guère tant question de chance que dans le contexte du discours sur le jeu. Etant l'un des moyens de divertissement et de sociabilité le plus couramment utilisé, le jeu devient un thème sérieux dans de nombreux écrits moralistes, théologiques, philosophiques, juridiques, littéraires et techniques traitant de la juste façon d'utiliser temps et argent. En témoignent les classifications en jeux de hasard, d'adresse et en jeux dits mixtes (comme par ex..

„Warm brothers“ on trial: The image of the male homosexual as constructed by homosexuals themselves and by others during the NS period in Austria

Abstract: Based on the court records of 1,500 men accused of homosexual conduct from the Viennese Civil Courts and Military Courts from Austria under National Socialist rule, a sample of 434 men was selected randomly and analyzed quantitatively. The article aims to provide the most comprehensive survey hitherto of the self-perceptions of male homosexuals and of the ways they were perceived by others in that period. The descriptions of identities that were used in the selected case histories by the persecuting authorities and as self-definition by the victims were collected and interpreted in accordance with international discussions that have taken place in historical gender and LGBTIQ Studies. Additionally, the social background of the persecuted men and information on the structure and extent of the persecution were analyzed.Abstract: Based on the court records of 1,500 men accused of homosexual conduct from the Viennese Civil Courts and Military Courts from Austria under National Socialist rule, a sample of 434 men was selected randomly and analyzed quantitatively.
