Playtime: William Shakespeare, Jacques Tati, Paul Celan

The poem "Playtime" by Paul Celan (1968) shows a fabric of intertextual allusions to the homonymous film by Jacques Tati. These references concern a critical representation of the phenomena of depersonalisation and standardisation which pervade the contemporary age. The activities of writing and translating do not stand in a direct relationship here. Nonetheless, the work of Celan in the poem is deeply linked with a question that, albeit treated in different ways, is touched both in Shakespeare’s drama and in Tati’s film. The question regards the possibility of transmitting events or situations from the past to a present which is characterised by historical ignorance. The analysis brings to light a Shakespearian signature which relates in particular to the conception of historical time as elaborated in "Hamlet".La poesia "Playtime" di Paul Celan (1968) presenta un tessuto di allusioni intertestuali al film di Jacques Tati che porta il medesimo titolo.

Literaturwissenschaftliches Schreiben zwischen Mimesis und Abstraktion: Von Jean Leclerc zu Peter Szondi und Roland Barthes

Starting from an allegory in Jean Leclerc's Ars critica (1697), the article investigates in which ways writing in literary studies can take place between the poles of mimesis and abstraction. The theoretical reflections are exemplified by two concrete writing projects: Peter Szondi's work on the essay "Eden” (1971) and Roland Barthes' work on the book S/Z (1968)

Unverminderte Gegenwärtigkeit: Wie Literatur Zeit thematisiert und erfahrbar macht

Zeiterfahrungen spielen in der Literatur eine besondere Rolle. Sie sind nicht nur Thema von Erzählungen, sondern artikulieren sich auch in der Gestaltung von Rhythmen oder in der Provokation von Erinnerungen und Erwartungen. Im Schreiben und Lesen von Literatur kommt es zu einer eigenen Art von Zeiterfahrung. Die Momente des Schreibens und Lesens sind vergänglich, dabei aber doch auf die relative Beständigkeit der Schrift bezogen. Gerade durch den Kontakt mit der Schrift können uns überlieferte Texte vom Gefühl der Zeitnot befreien und eine mögliche Zukunft aufzeigen

Articular cartilage and labral lesions of the glenohumeral joint: diagnostic performance of 3D water-excitation true FISP MR arthrography

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of MR arthrography in the detection of articular cartilage and labral lesions of the glenohumeral joint using a transverse 3D water-excitation true fast imaging with steady-state precession (FISP) sequence. Materials and Methods: Seventy-five shoulders were included retrospectively. Shoulder arthroscopy was performed within 6months of MR arthrography. MR images were evaluated separately by two radiologists. They were blinded to clinical and arthroscopic information. Arthroscopy served as the reference standard. Results: For the detection of humeral cartilage lesions, sensitivities and specificities were 86% (12/14)/89% (50/56) for observer 1 and 93%/86% for observer 2) for the transverse true FISP sequence and 64%/86% (50%/82% for observer 2) for the coronal intermediate-weighted spin-echo images. The corresponding values for the glenoidal cartilage were 60% (6/10)/88% (51/58) (80%/76% for observer 2) and 70%/86% (60%/74% for observer 2) respectively. For the detection of abnormalities of the anterior labrum (only assessed on true FISP images) the values were 94% (15/16)/84% (36/43) (88%/79% for observer 2). The corresponding values for the posterior labrum were 67% (8/12)/77% (36/47) (observer 2: 25%/74%). The kappa values for the grading of the humeral and glenoidal cartilage lesions were 0.81 and 0.55 for true FISP images compared with 0.49 and 0.43 for intermediate-weighted fast spin-echo images. Kappa values for true FISP evaluation of the anterior and posterior part of the labrum were 0.81 and 0.70. Conclusion: Transverse 3D true FISP MR arthrography images are useful for the difficult diagnosis of glenohumeral cartilage lesions and suitable for detecting labral abnormalitie
