The Novel as Moment of In-Between. Oikological Considerations on the Where of Belletristic Prose
Vanbrabant, Jonas Kristiaan ; Sepp, Hans Rainer (advisor) ; Nielsen, Cathrin (referee)
The Novel as Moment of In-Between. Oikological Considerations on the Where of Belletristic Prose Jonas Vanbrabant Abstract This master's thesis addresses the phenomenon of belletristic prose from an oikological point of view, on the question of the place of reading and writing. Considering the novel, and in the same breath the novella and the short story, as multiple moments of 'in-between' opens up perspectives beyond the phenomenologically superseded dichotomy of receptionist aesthetics on the one hand and productionist poetics on the other. Drawing on a wide variety of thinkers from the broader field of Husserl's legacy, notably Adorno, Bakhtin, Blumenberg, Derrida, Eco, Henry, IJsseling, Kundera, Levinas, Palmen, Richir, Ricœur, Schapp, Schütz, Sepp and Stein, the in-betweenness of the novel is explored in three chapters. Firstly along the selves of the reader and writer and the characters, showing, with focus on the role of empathy and affective phantasy, that these figures cannot but be configured inside the in-between of the literary work. In the second chapter regarding the problem of fiction, in which, minding the realistic and the imaginative preserved in fiction, the novel is being depicted as woven or weavable fabric, which precisely because of its in-betweenness leads to meaning and sympathy....
Will to Power and Eternal Return: A critical Reading of Heidegger's Interpretation of Nietzsche
Guzun, Madalina ; Sepp, Hans Rainer (advisor) ; Nielsen, Cathrin (referee)
Le point central de mon travail sera de proposer une nouvelle interprétation de la notion Nietzschéenne de l"éternel retour, à partir de l"approche de Heidegger. Comme la situation herméneutique qui dirige la lecture heideggérienne est le problème de la technique, je commencerai par le fait de montrer en quelle mesure cela ne fait qu"un, pour Heidegger, avec la fin de la métaphysique. Cette dernière, il la trouve accomplie justement par la philosophie de Nietzsche, qui transforme le devenir en un être stable et éternel. Si pour Heidgger la volonté de puissance déploie le même mouvement que la technique, c"est parce que toutes les deux sont une manière de faire sortir du retrait afin de rendre présent. L"éternel retour consisterait alors dans l"affirmation de cette présence comme un « maintenant » qui ne s"écoule plus. Néanmoins, j"essayerai de montrer que la lecture de Heidegger ne s"arrête pas à une perspective à partir de laquelle le temps se montre comme une suite de « maintenants », et qu"il offre aussi une autre voie pour comprendre l"éternel retour. Si la pensée de l'éternel retour est vue en tant qu"événement qui s"inscrit lui-même dans le cercle, cela produira une discontinuité essentielle. L"interprétation que je veux proposer en suivant cette voie entraînera par la suite le problème du...
"The search for female identity". A philosophical and literary study on the representation of female self-identification using the example of occidental and post-soviet literature
Chernova, Iana ; Sepp, Hans Rainer (advisor) ; Nielsen, Cathrin (referee)
This work has been given the title "The Search for Female Identity" because its core question is: what constitutes female self-identification? This search is carried out by searching literary traces, since self-identification can be deconstructed by analyzing the texts. Texts by an Austrian and a Soviet-Russian writer were chosen as the basis for this deconstruction. In a comparison of their two writings, the difference between the two socio-political systems in terms of their possible influence on self-identification could also be crystallized. The theories used (mainly poststructuralist) together with the interpretations help to extract the pre-discursive nature of the texts and to decipher the image of femininity. The analysis carried out showed that in both societies this picture is full of myths, however, they were developed and implemented differently. In the course of this development the individualistic Western culture encounters the limits of its individuality, which also affects women and influences their unity in themselves. Meanwhile, the post-Soviet society striving for all-round collectivism fails to control the construction of identity, since it does not offer enough playground for self-determination and overwhelms especially women with the imposed standards. Key words: female...
Forms of Absorbedness: The Role of Dream Analysis in the Early Works of Eugen Fink
Chu, Ming Hon ; Sepp, Hans Rainer (advisor) ; Nielsen, Cathrin (referee)
In Vergegenwärtigung und Bild, his doctoral thesis published in 1930, Fink has worked out the idea of being absorbed in a world for elaborating the specificities of unreality. And the phenomenon of being absorbed in a world is most exemplarily effective in the case of dream. The phenomenon of dream opens up a theoretical horizon for questioning the reality of the factual world, by indicating the conceivability that the factual world we believe as real might turn out to be a dream for another real world. Thanks to the "epistemological argument", Fink thereby discloses a conceivable emigration from the pre-given world to another world, with the clue of dream. And this "transworld" movement is not only an arbitrary speculation like a round square, but transcendentally threatens the self-familiarity of man. We would like to put forward the idea that the faith in the world is relativized by the conceivable unreality of our pre-given world. In this work, we attempt to articulate the transcendental instability of world- belief. Since the subject of transworld movement is neither a man living in the pre-given world, for it quits the pre-given world, nor the transcendental subject in its purity, for it is still situated in a worldly context, we suggest the inquiry of transword movement to be a supplementary part...
