Die Kunst ist keine Immaculata Beitrag Einige Thesen zur Bedeutung schöner Stellen für die Kanonbildung. Auch der Versuch einer Antwort an Heinz Schlaffer. Wolfgang Braungart Germanisch-Romanische Monatsschrift, Jahrgang 68 (2018), Ausgabe 1, Seite 89 - 105 Texts suitable for the canon are attributed long-lasting cultural validity. Being considered suitable for the literary canon is based on two foundations – one is alternatively called ‘life reality’, ‘Lebenswelt’, ‘social world’, or ‘historical-cultural world’, and the other one ‘poetic and aesthetic conclusiveness’. Literature, like all art, is not immaculate. It cannot be left untouched by the world. Literature rather has to prove itself in life. My essay develops the thesis that the understanding of literary works of art starts with what the German language calls ‘schöne Stellen’ (beautiful passages or citations), because both aspects, life reality and aesthetic conclusiveness, come together here.
Standard: Literatur Beitrag Die Kunst, das Individuelle und Günter Eichs Himbeerranken Wolfgang Braungart Germanisch-Romanische Monatsschrift, Jahrgang 65 (2015), Ausgabe 1, Seite 63 - 77 The standards of literary studies must be developed and continuously proven in dynamic and self reflexive hermeneutic interactions with literature itself. Hereby, it should be always remembered that literature is – together with religion – the most complex, most differentiated discourse of self-understanding and self-interpretation created by mankind. Therefore and first of all, literary studies must not neglect this standard: the genuine dignity of literature itself.
