Concentrating on the genre of minnerede, the papers in this volume develop approaches to the relationship of text and culture in the Middle Ages. It focusses on the density of repetition, the availability of rhetorical gestures, the conventionality and the breaks with convention, the metaphorical indulgence and the construction of gender roles.

This study treats a central complex of issues which have hitherto received little attention from Goethe scholars, namely the question of the conception and position of the subject in Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's novels and shorter narrative pieces. In his study the author combines approaches from the history of ideas and poetology in a systematic way and succeeds in demonstrating that the question of the ego, its identity and boundaries is a recurring problem in Goethe's writings, and one that he obviously did not succeed in resolving; at the same time he shows that Goethe's figures, with their internal breaks, already display clear features of the modern subject.

The study examines narrative processes and modes of writing in hitherto neglected early works by Franz Kafka. Close readings of the texts reveal how his writing develops towards a dream-like imaginative narration. This analysis of Kafka's early work reveals for the first time the prerequisites for that literary breakthrough in which Kafka entered the literary scene as a narrator in 1912.

Als prekarer Teil des affirmativen Reichspatriotismus (1870-1880) trieben diffamierte oder gering geachtete Geschichtsromane wie Dahns Kampf um Rom, Fontanes Vor dem Sturm, Freytags Ahnen oder Sacher-Masochs Weiblicher Sultan Geschichtsreflexion und Identitatsbildung entscheidend voran. Wie Meyers Jurg Jenatsch problematisieren sie den zeitgenossischen Umgang mit Geschichte und stehen damit am Beginn der Krise des Historismus. Die vorliegende Dispositivanalyse weist das hochreflexive Ineinander von Affirmation und Subversion nach, zu dem sich die Romane mit Nietzsches Historienschrift, Droysens Geschichtssemiotik, Menzels Abkehr vom Geschichtsgemalde, aber auch mit Denkmaleinweihungen, den Jubelfeiern 1870/71, Verlagsanzeigen, Professorenromanen, Zeitschriftenartikeln und -illustrationen verschranken. Eingehende Interpretation gangiger und abseitiger Text- und Bilddokumente entwerfen zentrale Elemente der Kulturgeschichte des 19. Jahrhunderts vollig neu.

Die Untersuchung geht der Frage nach, wie Normen uber das gegenseitige Verhalten von Frauen und Mannern vermittelt werden. Aus sozialpsychologischen, ritual- und diskurstheoretischen Ansatzen entwickelt sie fur das Medium Drucktext ein Modell, wonach vor allem die Darstellung von Konfliktverlaufen normativ wirkt.Die Arbeit fuhrt vor, dass in protestantischen deutschen Drucktexten des 17. Jahrhunderts die funf Konfliktverlaufsmuster 'Kompliment', 'Disputation', 'Verleumdung', 'Rehabilitation' und 'Bue' fur die Vermittlung von Normen des gegenseitigen Verhaltens der Geschlechter verantwortlich sind. Sie kommen in so unterschiedlichen Gattungen wie Schafergedicht und Landesordnung vor, halten sich nicht an Grenzen inhaltlich definierter Diskurse und werden als normative Muster selbst durch abweichende Variation konstitutiert.
