The essay explores Peter Weiss’s play “Die Ermittlung” (1965) and public reactions to it in BRD, DDR and Sweden.

The chapter deals with Peter Weiss’s translation of a short story by Swedish author Stig Dagerman (1923-1954) and intertextual dynamics in Peter Weiss’s early prose work.

August Macke und Franz Marc pflegten bis zum Tod eine innige Freundschaft, die in
einem gemeinsam gemalten Bild einen fast utopischen Ausdruck fand: Das Paradies-
Fresko in Mackes Haus in Bonn. Das überlebensgroße Bild zeugt einerseits vom seltenen,
aber gelungenen Versuch einer künstlerischen Zusammenarbeit. Zum anderen

Bibliography on late medieval and early modern book production in the German speaking areas.

This article examines Franz Marc’s writing as a discrete project. Marc’s contradictions and complications invite a complex reaction as does his tendency to deliberately misread and misstate both historical events and the work of other people.

To perceive animals ethologically means acknowledging that animals feel, think, experience, and imagine the world. Ethology has come to include interpretive pursuits as well as traditional field studies, and as I show, Marc’s practice encompassed both asp…[Read more]
