H. Steinthal's (1823-1899) interpretation of linguistic form, however, made it the servant of psychology. The Formungstrieb (drive to formation) of Georg von der Gabelentz (1840-1893) challenged Steinthal's conception and placed a renewed emphasis on aesthetics. In this endeavour, Gabelentz drew on the work of such figures as August Friedrich Pott (1802-1887), Hans Conon von der Gabelentz (1807-1874) and William Dwight Whitney (1827-1894). In this paper, we examine Gabelentz' Formungstrieb and place it in its historical context.}, language = {en} } @article{Lenz2016, author = {Lenz, Markus Alexander}, title = {THINKING THE CONTEMPORARY BY THE LYRICAL: THE WORK OF NICANOR PARRA AND ROBERT BOLANO}, series = {Alea : estudos neolatinos}, volume = {18}, journal = {Alea : estudos neolatinos}, publisher = {Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Faculdade de Letras}, address = {Rio de Janeiro RJ}, issn = {1517-106X}, doi = {10.1590/1517-106X/182-313}, pages = {313 -- 328}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Two Chilean poets with equal and yet different conceptions of poetry: While Nicanor Parra is considered one of the most important Latin American lyricists of the 20th century, the poetry of novelist Roberto Bola{\~n}o only finds little attention in comparison to his highly successful prose. Yet both authors give constructive answers to the possible functions of contemporary poetry under an epistemology based upon materialism that affects language as emancipatory capacity of each human individual. A comparative reading of two volumes of their poetry, Parra's well known Poemas y antipoemas (1954) and Bola{\~n}o's last 'collection of poems' Tres (2000), does not only demonstrate some structural links. The urgent question concerning the benefits of literature among globalized societies, involving highly complex cultural and linguistic identities, could benefit from a revived awareness towards poetry as historically relative formalization of language, but also as an efficient instrument to reflect the restrictions of language in times of its economic and cultural-industrial standardization.}, language = {es} } @article{Ette2016, author = {Ette, Ottmar}, title = {THINKING THE FUTURE: THE POETICS OF MOVEMENT AND TRANSAREA STUDIES}, series = {Alea : estudos neolatinos}, volume = {18}, journal = {Alea : estudos neolatinos}, publisher = {Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Faculdade de Letras}, address = {Rio de Janeiro RJ}, issn = {1517-106X}, doi = {10.1590/1517-106X/182-192}, pages = {192 -- 209}, year = {2016}, abstract = {This article tries to rethink the epistemic foundations of contemporary thinking.

Thus, both in his person and in his creative work he combined different cultural worlds in a polylogical way.1 Two painters boasted that very same Inca descent - they were the last two great masters of the Cuzco school of painting, which over several generations of artists had been an institution of excellent renown and prestige, and whose economic downfall and artistic marginalization was vividly described by the French traveller Paul Mancoy in 1837.2 While, during the 18th century, Cuzco school paintings were still much cherished and sought after, by the beginning of the following century the elite of Lima regarded them as behind the times and provincial, committed to an 'indigenous' painting style. The artists from up-country - such was the reproach - could not keep up with the modern forms of seeing and creating, as exemplified by European paragons.

This recognition bodes well for the future of philology and of literary production. Through multiperspectival writing, knowledge of life may be attainable without being reduced to a single political, medial, cartographical, geocultural, or aesthetic logic. As a laboratory for polylogical thinking, literature does not represent reality, as Erich Auerbach put it. Rather, it represents multiple lived, experienced, or relivable realities. Whoever is open to a polylogical reception of the literatures of the world can perceive and experience how life knowledge transforms into lived knowledge and how knowledge for survival turns into knowledge for living together. However, literature can be more than it is only if it stays aware of the void, of lack, of privation, of the interminable: aware of the end that never is an end. Such a planetary concept of the literatures of the world offers valuable opportunities to all those who do not fall into the trap of contenting themselves with a supposed abundance of text.}, language = {en} } @article{Hennemann2016, author = {Hennemann, Anja}, title = {A cognitive-constructionist approach to Spanish creo empty set and creo}, series = {Folia linguistica}, volume = {50}, journal = {Folia linguistica}, publisher = {De Gruyter}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {0165-4004}, doi = {10.1515/flin-2016-0017}, pages = {449 -- 474}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @article{Klettke2016, author = {Klettke, Cornelia}, title = {Einleitung}, series = {Giacomo Leopardi - Dichtung als inszenierte Selbstt{\"a}uschung in der Krise des Bewusstseins}, journal = {Giacomo Leopardi - Dichtung als inszenierte Selbstt{\"a}uschung in der Krise des Bewusstseins}, editor = {Klettke, Cornelia and Neumeister, Sebastian}, publisher = {Frank \& Timme}, address = {Berlin}, pages = {17 -- 24}, year = {2016}, language = {de} } @article{Klettke2016, author = {Klettke, Cornelia}, title = {Hybridit{\"a}t von fr{\"u}hneuzeitlicher Kartographie und geographischem Imaginaire im Orlando furioso von Ariosto - Die Helden als Weltreisende auf den Spuren der Entdecker}, series = {Literatur leben.
