In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird gezeigt, wie der Dichter der zweiten Hälfte des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts geistig in eine Isolierung gerät, die es ihm nicht mehr erlaubt, sittliche Werte der Vergangenheit unbesehen hinzunehmen; er muβ sie vielmehr untersuchen und sich gegebenenfalls neue Werte schaffen. Für Storm bedeutet dies die bewuβte Lösung vom christlichen Glauben, der in einigen Novellen als Zeichen menschlicher Unreife bewertet und überwunden wird. An die Stelle der verlorenen göttlichen Liebe tritt die menschliche, an die Stelle der menschlichen Abhängigkeit von Gott tritt die Suche nach dem Mitmenschen, die gegenseitige Abhängigkeit durch das Band der Liebe. Die Ehe verleiht einem solchen Bund Ausschlieβlichkeit, Dauer und Tiefe; sie schenkt dem Menschen einen Halt im Leben. Nur auf diesem Fundament kann sich die Familie gründen und erhalten. In der Familie findet der Einzelne den zeitlichen Anschluβ an Vergangenheit und Zukunft, reicht damit über die Begrenzung der eigenen Lebenszeit hinaus. Hat der Mensch im Rahmen der Ehe und der Familie einen organisch gegründeten Platz gefunden, dann darf und soll er sich im Geist der Nächstenliebe seiner Umwelt tätig annehmen. Hier, wie in der Ehe, reift der Mensch zur vollwertigen Persönlichkeit, wenn er sich ohne Vorbehalt dem andern gibt, auch wenn die Umwelt nicht zu dem gleichen Dienst bereit ist. Storm gibt für das sittliche Bemühen des Menschen, für dessen Suchen nach einem organisch-harmonisch bestimmten Platz nur einen Grund: Alles geschieht, damit das Leben an sich erhalten bleibe und gefördert werde. Die Ewigkeit ist dem Menschen verlorengegangen, da heiβt es, die einem zur Verfügung stehende Lebensspanne auszuweiten, einmal durch den Kontakt zura Mitmenschen, zum an-deren durch die Verbindung im Rahmen der Familie zur Vergangenheit und zur Zukunft. Das Leben an sich wird zum höchsten sittlichen Wert, alle anderen Werte, einschlieβlich der Liebe, finden nur in ihrer lebenserhaltenden Funktion einen positiv-ethischen Gehalt. / Arts, Faculty of / Central Eastern Northern European Studies, Department of / Graduate

The thesis is an attempt to refute the indictment of Storm's work as being sentimental and melancholy, arguing that such a judgment fails to take account of the writer's portrayal of tragedy in the final seventeen years of his life. Chapter One analyses a number of aspects of Storm's thought and experience which disposed him towards a tragic view of the world: this includes an examination of the possible impact of the popular philosophies of Feuerbach, the Materialists, Darwin and Schopenhauer, as well as the significance of his educational background, his career as a judge, and his attitude to family life, religion, politics and society. Chapter Two considers the aesthetic convictions underlying Storm's conception and portrayal of tragedy, looking also at the idea of the Novelle as a suitable medium for tragedy and at the relationship between the author's later work and the tragedies of Naturalism. Chapters Three to Five present a detailed study of six individual Novellen which treat themes representative of Storm's work. Chapter Three focuses on Storm's attitude to the destructive potential of prejudice and superstition in society, taking Renate (1878) and Ein Doppelganger (1886) as examples of "The Tragedy of Social Compulsion". Chapter Four investigates his pessimistic preoccupation with the subject of heredity, discussing John Riew' (1885) and Der Herr Etatsrat (1881) as cases of "The Tragedy of Genetic Compulsion". Chapter Five is entitled "The Tragedy of Personal Responsibility": it examines Ein Bekenntnis (1887) and Zur Chronik von Grieshuus (1883) as Novellen in which the leading characters incur specific moral guilt, and considers the nature and results of their attempts to atone for their crime.

In interpreting Der Schinmelreiter by Theodor Storm, the deconstructive method always leaves room for more interpretation; a deconstructive interpretation may simply acknowledge a variety of critical opinions, not necessarily considering one more valid than another, but arguing that all of than together are necessary to form a collective interpretation. I have examined traditionally important views of Storm's work, those of Stuckert and Silz, who argue for a positive heroic example in the main character Hauke Haien, and who consider the supernatural in a less structurally important light, but attribute it to Storm's personal views and geographic background. Ellis, Findlay and Jennings offer an examination of narrative structures and a study of mythic elements in the structure. They break some of the longer-held opinions, redefine realism and draw attention to conflicting character traits of Hauke, suggesting psychological explanations for his mythification. Jost Hermard represents the new directions in social commentary. His interpretation emphasizes possible political criticisms and examines the work in the light of German society in the late nineteenth century.

Assim, buscamos rastrear os procedimentos através dos quais o pueblo-nación chileno é transformado no principal sujeito de suas narrativas históricas, a partir de quais dispositivos conceptuais ele procurou tornar a nação chilena uma entidade tangível, conformando, assim, um discurso sobre sua nacionalidade.

La presente tesis nace con el propósito de aportar a las recientes discusiones que se han efectuado respecto al pensamiento latinoamericano, específicamente, a la existencia o no existencia de lo que se podría denominar como filosofía latinoamericana y en particular, filosofía chilena. Generalmente, la discusión se desarrolla desde la pregunta ¿hay filosofía en Chile o filosofía chilena? Para poder contestar tal interrogante, es necesario recapitular el desarrollo teórico desde los inicios de la República chilena. Por ello, pareció importante abordar a dos pensadores que sostuvieron los primeros debates teóricos, en los cuales se jugó la validez de algunas ideas filosóficas. En ese contexto, la llamada disputa historiográfica entre Andrés Bello y José Victorino Lastarria expresa de forma genuina los primeros aires de una intelectualidad propiamente latinoamericana a pesar de efectuarse en base a ideas europeas o a una reproducción de ellas, pero que no deja de expresar una forma específica de articular un pensamiento con colores propios.

Tal perspectiva de análise abrangerá não só o tratamento dado a essa temática, bastante cara à literatura alemã, mas também a sua representação no contexto do Realismo Poético e na própria evolução do gênero novela. Em Pole Poppenspäler o conflito gerado pela transição entre duas diferentes perspectivas, a do mundo pequeno burguês e a do artista, condensa-se, de forma simbólica, na trajetória das personagens Tendler e Paul, ao mesmo tempo em que está presente, de modo realista, a caracterização geográfica e humana das "pessoas simples" ("kleine Leute"), como camponeses, operários e artesãos. Também a regionalização geográfica e linguística estão de acordo com o repertório típico do realismo do século XIX, por meio da representação das paisagens alemãs e do uso de dialetos. Para que a nossa hipótese de interpretação fosse efetivamente realizada, a história do gênero novela foi revista em seus diferentes momentos de existência. Desse modo, pôde-se investigar de que maneira a alteração dos pressupostos históricos provoca alterações na representação do conflito entre as mentalidades do artista e do burguês / Abstract: The goal of this research is to analyze the short-novel Pole Poppenspaeler as a narrative organized around the theme of the opposition between the artist and the bourgeois citizen. Such an analysis perspective will comprehend not only the treatment given to the theme (very dear to German literature), but also the representation the theme has in the context of Poetic Realism, besides the way the genre of short-novel has develop itself. In Pole Poppenspaeler, the conflict generated by the transition between two different perspectives (one from the bourgeois world and another from the artist) condense itself, in a symbolic way, through the characters¿s Tendler and Paul journey; at the same time, it is present (in a realistic manner) the geographic and human characterization of "simple people" ("kleine Leute"), like countrymen, workmen and artisans. Also the geographic and linguistic regionalization are according to the typical repertory of the XIXth century realism. In order to our hypothesis of interpretation be effectively executed, the History of the short-novel as a genre was reviewed in its different moments of existence. Therefore, it is possible to investigate how the alteration of the hystorical processes provokes an alteration in the representation of the conflict between the artist¿s and the bourgeois citizen¿s mindsets.
