Ruler Portraits and Ruler Cult in the Pergamon Gymnasion

Zu Bildnisstatuen attalidischer Könige im Gymnasion von Pergamon besitzen wir vielfältige archäologische und epigraphische Zeugnisse. Systematisch wurden aber die Zusammenhängedieser unterschiedlichen Zeugnisgruppen bisher nicht untersucht. Der Beitrag zielt darauf ab, den Bestand an Herrscherbildnissen im Gymnasion von Pergamon zu bestimmen und ihre Funktionen und Rolle im Rahmen der Pergamenischen Herrscherrepräsentation im gymnasialen Raum zu beschreiben. Vor allem wird herausgearbeitet, in welchem Bezug die Bildnisse zum Herrscherkult standen, der dort praktiziert wurde, und wie sie bis zur Spätantike bewahrt oder umgestaltet wurden. Visuelle Integration und visuelle Kontinuität erscheinen dabei als die wichtigsten Konzepte

“It was a fine day in August 1913.” Air Temperature and Societal Upheaval in Robert Musil’s “The Man Without Qualities”

In Robert Musil’s fragmentary novel, The Man Without Qualities, history and poetics connect in a very potent manner. A salient example of this is the famous sentence, “It was a fine day in August 1913”, where societal upheaval is portrayed. Meteorological information contrasts and corresponds with scien-tific facts and documented historical events. Above all, it is Musil’s ironic style which brings the text’s literary power of commentary to the fore.In Robert Musil’s fragmentary novel, The Man Without Qualities, history and poetics connect in a very potent manner.

Kontingenz-Erfahrung in der Romantik : Ausdrucksbegehren und Zensur bei Karoline von Günderrode

This article provides an overview of the life and work of Karoline von Günderrode (1780-1806) in the German Romantic period. Karoline von Günderrode is one of the most radical modern writers of her time as she expresses the experience of contingency, the signature of a modern age. The article also examines aspects of gendered censorship in her work, especially in her dramas. To understand the phenomenon, it is necessary to view censorship both from the outside and from within. Eighteenth-century drama and theatre were taboo fields for women. Günderrode reacted with a three-fold self-censorship: in her form of expression, in her choice ti write under two pseudonyms (Tian and Ion), and in her decision to leave a number of dramas unfinished. Karoline von Günderrode commited suicide at the age of 26, and it is possible to read even her suicide as an act of censorship in the context of the experience of contingency in the Romantic Period
