Neuware - Sind Künstler Wissenschaftler und sind Wissenschaftler auch Künstler Gibt es tatsächlich einen Mehrwert der literarischen gegenüber der soziologischen Form und wie kann dieser aussehen Die Frage nach dem Verhältnis von Wissenschaft und Kunst bildet den Ausgangspunkt und die Motivation für die Untersuchung von Döblins 'Amazonas-Trilogie'.Um diese Frage zu beantworten, bedient sich die vorlie-gende Arbeit eines der umfassendsten und ambivalen-testen Begriffe zeitgenössischer Sozial- und Literaturwis-senschaft: des Begriffes der Moderne.Wegweisende Vordenker der Moderne, wie z.B. Max Weber, Theodor W. Adorno, Jürgen Habermas, Michel Foucault und Vilém Flusser kommen in der Untersuchung ebenso zu Wort wie Vertreter der Postcolonial Studies und des New Historicism.Döblin weitet mit der Trilogie 'Amazonas' seine Diagnose der Moderne, die bereits in seinen früheren Romanen immer wieder durchscheint, und die sein gesamtes Schaffen prägt, in gewaltiger Weise aus.Indem er den imagologischen Rahmen vom fünfzehnten Jahrhundert bis in die Gegenwart spannt und neben ethnologischem und historischem Material zahlreiche, stilistisch heterogen wirkende Erzählformen miteinander verknüpft, unternimmt er den groß angelegten Versuch, seine Vision des Phänomens der Moderne literarisch umzuSetzen.

Alfred Döblin is one of the most important twentieth-century German writers. This volume reassesses the uniquely interdisciplinary quality of his texts, which are paradigms of the encounter between literary and scientific modernity. It analyses Döblin´s best-known literary works as well as his medical essays, political journalism and autobiographical texts, and it situates him in relation to other writers such as Heine, Benn, Brecht and Sebald. Wide-ranging and with contributions in English and German, this is a valuable study for students and advanced researchers alike.

This collection of High Modernism among Austrian and German writers includes:--Pogrom and a selection from The Case of Sergeant Grischa by Arnold Zweig--"The Murder of a Buttercup" and a selection from Berlin Alexanderplatz (recently cited as one of the 100 Most Meaningful Books of All Time in a survey that was reported in The Guardian, and made into a landmark multipart television series by Rainer Werner Fassbinder) by Alfred D÷blin--Selections from Jew Snss and The Oppermans by Lion Feuchtwanger--A selection from The Seventh Cross and "Excursion of the Dead Girls" by Anna Seghers

Probing study of how literature can redeem the revelatory, redemptive powers of language.In this probing look at Alfred Döblin’s 1929 novel Berlin Alexanderplatz and the stories of W. G. Sebald, Redeeming Words offers a philosophical meditation on the power of language in literature. David Kleinberg-Levin draws on the critical theory of Benjamin and Adorno; the idealism and romanticism of Kant, Hegel, Hölderlin, Novalis, and Schelling; and the nineteenth- and twentieth-century thought of Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Derrida. He shows how Döblin and Sebald―writers with radically different styles working in different historical moments―have in common a struggle against forces of negativity and an aim to bring about in response a certain redemption of language. Kleinberg-Levin considers the fast-paced, staccato, and hard-cut sentences of Döblin and the ghostly, languorous, and melancholy prose fiction of Sebald to articulate how both writers use language in an attempt to recover and convey this utopian promise of happiness for life in a time of mourning.

Fascinated by the nature of the Jewish identity, Doeblin, the author of "Berlin Alexanderplatz", a non-practising Jew in Berlin in the 1920s, decided to visit Poland to try to discover his Jewish roots. This book is a record of that journey. He describes Polish-Jewish language and tradition, the striking costumes and colourful markets, and the terrible poverty that surrounded everything. The book is both a personal investigation into ancestry and a portrait of a unique society on the eve of its destruction.

This fascinating exploration of a work that was the epitome of German literary modernism illuminates in chilling detail the death of the Weimar Republic's left-leaning culture of innovation and experimentation. Peter Jelavich examines Alfred Döblin's Berlin Alexanderplatz (1929), a novel that questioned the autonomy and coherence of the human personality in the modern metropolis, and traces the radical discrepancies that came with its adaptation into a radio play (1930) and a film (1931). Jelavich explains these discrepancies by examining not only the varying demands of genre and technology but also the political and economic contexts of the media―in particular, the censorship practices in German radio and film. His analysis culminates in a richly textured discussion of the complex factors that led to the demise of Weimar culture, as Nazi intimidation and the economic strains of the Depression induced producers to depoliticize their works. Jelavich's book becomes a cautionary tale about how fear of outspoken right-wing politicians can curtail and eliminate the arts as a critical counterforce to politics―all in the name of entertainment.

This book provides a rigorous but elementary introduction to the theory of Markov Processes on a countable state space. It should be accessible to students with a solid undergraduate background in mathematics, including students from engineering, economics, physics, and biology. Topics covered are: Doeblin's theory, general ergodic properties, and continuous time processes. Applications are dispersed throughout the book. In addition, a whole chapter is devoted to reversible processes and the use of their associated Dirichlet forms to estimate the rate of convergence to equilibrium. These results are then applied to the analysis of the Metropolis (a.k.a simulated annealing) algorithm.The corrected and enlarged 2nd edition contains a new chapter in which the author develops computational methods for Markov chains on a finite state space. Most intriguing is the section with a new technique for computing stationary measures, which is applied to derivations of Wilson's algorithm and Kirchoff's formula for spanning trees in a connected graph.

Alfred Döblin (1878-1957) was one of the great German-Jewish writers of the 20th century, a major figure in the German avant-garde before the First World War and a leading intellectual during the Weimar Republic. Döblin greatly influenced the history of the German novel: his best-known work, the best-selling 1929 novel Berlin Alexanderplatz, has frequently been compared in its use of internal monologue and literary montage to James Joyce's Ulysses and John Dos Passos's Manhattan Transfer . Döblin's oeuvre is by no means limited to novels, but in this genre, he offered a surprising variety of narrative techniques, themes, structures, and outlooks. Döblin's impact on German writers after the Second World War was considerable: Günter Grass, for example, acknowledged him as "my teacher." And yet, while Alexanderplatz continues to fascinate the reading public, it has overshadowed the rest of Döblin's immense oeuvre. This volume of carefully focused essays seeks to do justice to such important texts as Döblin's early stories, his numerous other novels, his political, philosophical, medical, autobiographical, and religious essays, his experimental plays, and his writings on the new media of cinema and radio.
