November 2010Der Streit um die Existenz des Menschen
by Józef Tischner, Steffen Huber, Steffen Huber
Der Priester und Philosoph Józef Tischner, Vordenker der Gewerkschaft Solidarnosc, gilt als einer der wichtigsten polnischen Intellektuellen des 20. Jahrhunderts. In den Jahren vor seinem Tod wandte er sich noch einmal seinen theologischen und philosophischen Lebensthemen zu. Im Dialog mit Kant und Descartes, Kierkegaard, Levinas und Sartre, aber auch in der Auseinandersetzung mit den Werken Warlam Schalamows und Witold Gombrowiczs stellt er radikale Fragen: Hat der Mensch im Zeitalter des totalitären Terrors, in der Epoche von Auschwitz und Kolyma, nicht seine Menschlichkeit verloren? Müssen die Begriffe des Guten, die Vorstellungen von Gerechtigkeit, Freiheit und Verantwortung angesichts der immensen Schuld nicht neu gedacht werden? Tischners These lautet: Selbst wenn der Mensch tot ist, so bedeutet dies vor allem, daß er existiert hat. Wenn er aber existiert hat, so kann er wiedergeboren werden. Die Interpretation existentieller Erfahrungen und Kategorien wie Hoffnung und Verzweiflung, Leib und Seele, Gnade und Gnadenlosigkeit weisen den Weg zu einem Neuentwurf dessen, was der Mensch sein könnte.

May 2008Die Romane
by Thomas Bernhard, Martin Huber, Wendelin Schmidt-Dengler
Ein Schriftsteller wollte er nicht sein, vielmehr "jemand, der schreibt". Zugleich begriff er sich als "Geschichtenzerstörer" und "Übertreibungskünstler", wurde von andern als "Misanthrop" oder "Alpenbeckett" charakterisiert. Eins steht bei solch unterschiedlichen Ansichten fest: Bernhards Werke, die Prosa wie die Dramen, zählen unbestritten zur Weltliteratur und sind in annähernd 50 Sprachen auf dem Erdball zu lesen. Die vorliegende Quarto-Ausgabe präsentiert seine neun Romane im gesicherten Textbestand – vom Debütroman Frost aus dem Jahr 1963 über Das Kalkwerk und Korrektur bis zum gewaltigen Schlußband Auslöschung von 1986. Martin Huber und Wendelin Schmidt-Dengler beschreiben Entstehung, Relevanz und Wirkung des Bernhardschen Romanwerks in einem ausführlichen Schlußessay. Dieser Band bietet im Vergleich zu den Einzelbänden eine Preisersparnis von 71%.

October 2015Mysterien für alle
Kleinste Aufzeichnungen
by Joseph Beuys, Steffen Popp
Man muss kein Joseph-Beuys-Kenner sein, um sich seine »kleinsten Aufzeichnungen« zu erschließen. Ein ungebundenes Notizbuch in Form fliegender Blätter und Zettel, sind sie über den Kontext des künstlerischen Werks hinaus immer auch als eigenständige Texte, Textbilder lesbar. Begriffsstudie, philosophische Reflexion, poetisches Fragment und politischer Traktat bezeichnen den Raum, in dem sich die Notate bewegen, ohne sich um Definitionen literarischer Genres zu kümmern. Was sie durch mehr als vier Jahrzehnte und über verschiedene Werkphasen hinweg verbindet, ist weniger eine bestimmte Form als das nicht nachlassende Interesse ihres Verfassers, das eigene Denken im Zuge der Niederschrift zu fokussieren und weiterzutreiben. Graphisch und vom Gestus her erinnert manches an Unternehmen symbolisch-begrifflicher Weltkartierung etwa Swedenborgs oder Jakob Böhmes, auf die Beuys sich bezogen hat, zugleich sind es unverkennbar Kartierungen seiner eigenen Zeit, die das Verhältnis von Ökonomie und Natur ausmessen, Transzendenz im Menschen verorten, künstlerische und gesellschaftliche Herausforderung engführen und in die Verantwortung des Einzelnen stellen. Ansätze zu Sternkarten für einen irdischen Gebrauch. Steffen Popps Auswahl zielt – nicht zuletzt im Sinne der Beuys'schen Rede vom »erweiterten Kunstbegriff« – auf das poetische Moment dieser »kleinsten Aufzeichnungen«. Sie lädt zu ihrer näheren Erkundung ein, mit wachem Blick für einen möglichen Gebrauch in der Gegenwart.
