Lässig – subtil – lakonischAbgesehen von den Anmerkungen und wenigen kleineren Modifikationen entspricht der folgende Text demjenigen der Antrittsvorlesung, die ich zur Übernahme meines Lehrstuhls für Vergleichende Literaturwissenschaft (SoSe 2010) am 25. Mai 2011 an der Rheinischen Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn gehalten habe. Der Charakter des Vortrags (für ein nicht nur akademisches Publikum) wurde nach Möglichkeit gewahrt. Die Hinweise auf Forschungsliteratur beschränken sich auf ein Minimum.

The concept of grace is as complex as it is wide-ranging: it is relevant to social history and the history of religion, to mythology, theology, law, ethics, social aesthetics, art theory, and the theory of culture. The Three Graces embody a structure of giving, receiving, and returning, i.e., actions that form part of the discourse on exchanging goods and gifts, – one that is normally quite distinct from the discourse on aesthetics and art theory. The question arises: how can aspects of the grace-discourse be reformulated by means of the gift-discourse? How can we form a conceptual configuration of gift, social interaction, and art? From a wide array of possible examples, some are singled out here for closer inspection: Castiglione’s sixteenth-century model of courtly society, the connection between the social aesthetic use of the concepts of grazia and sprezzatura, and their role in art theory, as well as the enhanced meaning of these concepts in the combined discourses on love, art, and (theological) grace that are to be found in the friendship between Michelangelo and the poet Vittoria Colonna; examples from the eighteenth to the twentieth century include Schiller’s considerations on grace and Charis, giving and being gifted, as well as Nietzsche’s new morality associated with lightness and self-giving. The essay is framed by Pliny the Elder’s anecdote about the competition between Apelles, the master of charis, and his fellow painter Protogenes, and by Pasternak’s modern version of it: a short story about two rival writers and their antagonistic exchange of gifts.

"No remoinho da tendência-espiral": questões de estética, literatura e ciências naturais na obra de Goethe

Em seus últimos anos de vida, Goethe esteve obcecado pela assim chamada "tendência-espiral". Essa questão, contudo, de modo algum constituía algo novo para ele, como demonstram claramente suas formulações anteriores em torno de linhas curvas e espirais. De fato, essas formas encontram-se nas zonas de intersecção entre literatura, artes visuais (em especial, as ornamentais) e estudos científicos. Uma referência crucial para as estéticas do final do século XVIII foi a famosa concepção de William Hogarth sobre a "linha da beleza" (1753), a qual também deixou vestígios nos escritos de Goethe, até mesmo em sua fase tardia. O presente trabalho examina sua elegia "Amynthas" (1799), o ensaio "Touro fossilizado" (1822), assim como textos sobre a metamorfose das plantas e a tendência-espiral da vegetação. Formas espirais parecem ter exercido fascínio tão intenso sobre Goethe porque elas possibilitam, com seus múltiplos significados e funções, extrapolar fronteiras entre diferentes gêneros e disciplinas e estabelecer conexões entre diferentes pensamentos. Essa atividade intelectual transgressora, a que chamaríamos de "interdisciplinaridade", continuou sendo modelar para importantes pensadores do século XX, tais como Paul Valéry, Walter Benjamin ou Aby Warburg.
