In the past two decades or so, this ruralist paradigm has been effectively superseded by a metropolitan imaginary in which the modern, globalised megacity increasingly functions as representative of India as a whole. Has the village, then, entirely vanished from the cultural imaginary in contemporary India? Addressing economic practices from upper-class consumerism to working-class family support strategies, this paper attempts to trace how 'the village' resurfaces or survives as a cultural reference point in the midst of the urban.

Dieser Artikel untersucht die Fußnoten in Humboldts Essai politique sur l‘île de Cuba (1826). Zwar ist es nicht immer leicht, die manchmal recht geheimnisvollen Verweise zu entschlüsseln, dennoch lohnt sich der Versuch: Humboldts Fußnoten geben nicht nur Auskunft über seine umfassenden Netzwerke des Wissens. Sie verweisen auch auf Auseinandersetzungen verschiedener Gelehrter über Humboldts Schriften. Schließlich beinhalten sie Humboldts Reaktionen auf solche Auseinandersetzungen. Eine Untersuchung von Humboldts Fußnoten erlaubt es folglich dem Leser, mehr über Humboldt den Wissenschaftler aber auch Humboldt den Mensch zu erfahren. N2 - When it comes to footnotes, Alexander von Humboldt was ahead of his times even though his references leave much to be desired by today’s academic standards. This article examines the footnotes of Humboldt’s Essai politique sur l‘île de Cuba (1826). While it is not always easy to decipher his sometimes cryptic references, the undertaking is worthwhile: Humboldt’s footnotes do not only reveal his vast networks of knowledge. They also provide glimpses of ongoing, contemporary disputes among different scholars that involve Humboldt’s writings. They also present Humboldt’s reactions to such disputes. Exploring Humboldt’s footnotes consequently allows the reader to access both Humboldt the scholar and Humboldt the human being. N2 - Quand il s’agit de notes, Alexandre de Humboldt était en avance sur son temps, même si ses références laissent beaucoup à désirer par rapport aux normes universitaires d’aujourd’hui. Cet article examine les notes de l’Essai Politique sur l‘île de Cuba de Humboldt (1826). Même s’il n’est pas toujours facile de déchiffrer ses références parfois cryptiques, l’entreprise vaut la peine: les notes de Humboldt ne révèlent pas seulement ses vastes réseaux de savoir. Ils fournissent également des aperçus de conflits contemporains en cours entre les différents spécialistes qui s’occupent des écrits de Humboldt. Ils présentent également les réactions de Humboldt à de tels différends. Explorer les notes de Humboldt permet donc au lecteur d’accéder à la fois Humboldt le savant et Humboldt l’être humain.

The focus is on their trip from Genève to Kabul that Ella Maillart and Annemarie Schwarzenbach made together in 1939/1940 and Nicolas Bouvier 1953/1954 with the artist Thierry Vernet. The comparison shows the strong connection between the journey and life and between ars vivendi and travel literature. This book also gives an overview of and organises the numerous terms, genres, and categories that already exist to describe various travel texts and proposes the new term travelling narration. The travelling narration looks at the text from a narratological perspective that distinguishes the author, narrator, and protagonist within the narration. In the examination, ten motifs could be found to characterise the travelling narration: Culture, Crossing Borders, Freedom, Time and Space, the Aesthetics of Landscapes, Writing and Reading, the Self and/as the Other, Home, Religion and Spirituality as well as the Journey. The importance of each individual motif does not only apply in the 1930s or 1950s but also transmits important findings for living together today and in the future. N2 - Das Buch vergleicht die Texte von drei Schweizer Autoren: Ella Maillart, Annemarie Schwarzenbach und Nicolas Bouvier. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Reise von Genève nach Kabul, die Ella Maillart gemeinsam mit Annemarie Schwarzenbach 1939/1940 und Nicolas Bouvier 1953/1954 mit dem Künstler Thierry Vernet unternahmen. Der Vergleich zeigt die enge Verbindung zwischen der Reise und dem Leben sowie zwischen ars vivendi und Reiseliteratur. Das Buch gibt einen Überblick über die zahlreichen Begriffe, Gattungen und Kategorien, die bereits zur Beschreibung verschiedener Reisetexte existieren, und schlägt den neuen Begriff der reisenden Erzählung „travelling narration“ vor. Die reisende Erzählung betrachtet den Text aus einer narratologischen Perspektive, die den Autor, Erzähler und Protagonisten innerhalb der Erzählung unterscheidet. In der Untersuchung konnten zehn Motive gefunden werden, die die reisende Erzählung charakterisieren: Kultur, Grenzüberschreitung, Freiheit, Zeit und Raum, Ästhetik der Landschaft, Schreiben und Lesen, das Selbst und / oder der Andere, Heimat, Religion und Spiritualität sowie die Reise. Die Bedeutung jedes einzelnen Motivs gilt nicht nur für die 1930er oder 1950er Jahre, sondern vermittelt auch wichtige Erkenntnisse für das Zusammenleben heute und in der Zukunft. N2 - Le livre compare les textes de trois auteurs suisses : Ella Maillart, Annemarie Schwarzenbach et Nicolas Bouvier. L'accent est mis sur le voyage de Genève à Kaboul qu'Ella Maillart et Annemarie Schwarzenbach ont effectué ensemble en 1939/1940 et Nicolas Bouvier 1953/1954 avec l'artiste Thierry Vernet. La comparaison montre le lien fort entre le voyage et la vie et entre l'ars vivendi et la littérature de voyage. Ce livre donne également un aperçu et organise les nombreux termes, genres et catégories qui existent déjà pour décrire les différents textes de voyage et propose le nouveau terme narration itinérante „travelling literature“. La narration itinérante examine le texte dans une perspective narratologique qui distingue l'auteur, le narrateur et le protagoniste au sein de la narration. Au cours de l'examen, dix motifs ont été trouvés pour caractériser le récit de voyage : La culture, la traversée des frontières, la liberté, le temps et l'espace, l'esthétique des paysages, l'écriture et la lecture, le soi et l'autre, la maison, la religion et la spiritualité ainsi que le voyage. L'importance de chaque motif individuel ne s'applique pas seulement aux années 1930 ou 1950, mais transmet également des conclusions importantes pour le vivre ensemble aujourd'hui et à l'avenir.

Especially in his early years, he sees psychology as the antagonist of the kind of theater that he envisages, the "modern tragedy". In the last decade of his life, Camus worked on the novel "Requiem for a Nun" by William Faulkner, whom he greatly respected, in order to stage it. The confrontation with this work and its highly psychologically driven plot makes Camus virtually give up on his anti-psychological attitude.

A1 - Otty, Lisa T1 - Space and pattern in linear and postlinear poetry empirical and theoretical approaches JF - European journal of English studies : official journal of the European Society for the Study of English (ESSE) N2 - This article derives from two interdisciplinary research projects funded by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council, involving the application of psychological experimental techniques to the study of poetic form and reader response. It discusses the semantic and expressive effects of space and pattern in innovative forms of contemporary British and American poetry. After referring to some historical and theoretical contexts for these issues, the article analyses the results of experiments using eye-tracking, manipulations of text, memory tests and readers' recorded responses and interpretations. The first group of poems studied were lineated, with extended spaces within lines and displacement of lines from the left margin. Referring to a poem from Geoffrey Hill'sCanaan(1996), the authors show that such use of space may serve to articulate syntactical structures, but may also promote richer interpretation by encouraging cross-linear semantic connections. The second technique studied was the break from linear into postlinear poetry, as an initially lineated sequence shifts to pages of dispersed text. In readings of Susan Howe'sPythagorean Silence(fromThe Europe of Trusts, 1990), the authors detected more radical effects of space, shape and pattern, with associated consequences for interpretative strategies and aesthetic responses. Finally, the article discusses the potential for both mutual support and heuristic challenge between an empirical study of reader response, and a historical-theoretical approach as exemplified by Jerome McGann's interpretation ofPythagorean Silence.
