Villy Sørensen was a prominent intellectual figure of 20th-century Denmark. His work spanned social commentary, philosophy, and literature. He was a sophisticated literary critic, author of tales based on Norse and Greek mythology, and an outstanding translator of Latin and German literature, particularly of modernist writers of the German-language tradition such as Franz Kafka and Hermann Broch. His fiction comprises only a small part of his oeuvre, the most notable being the early tales Sære historier (1953) and Ufarlige historier [Harmless Tales] (1955), and a later collection of short prose, Formynderfortællinger [Tutelary Tales] (1964). The remainder of his legacy consists of philosophical and cultural treatises, and literary criticisms such as Digtere og dæmoner (1959). In this latter work, Sørensen, who was especially oriented towards German letters, provides in-depth perspectives on such modernist writers as Franz Kafka, Hermann Broch, and Thomas Mann. To the philosophy of culture belongs Seneca—humanisten ved Neros hof [Seneca: The Humanist at the Court of Nero] (1976), in which Sørensen’s impressive scholarship and overview are displayed to the full. Moreover, his body of work includes a number of renderings, collections of lectures, speeches and essays, and newspaper commentaries.

Symbolic Space

The Magic Mountain (Der Zauerberg) of Thomas Mann is one of the masterpieces of German literature in particular, of the 20th century world literature in general. In the novel, Thomas Mann created a symbolic space with the mountain in Davos and the nursing center of Davos for tuberculosis patients. The Davos Mountain influenced by sacred mountains in Grimm's fairy tales, is an experience and challenge space for the characters of the novel, especially for Hans Castorp. The nursing center of Davos for tuberculosis patients is a space to test people' patience before the hardships of life with the obsession of disease and death, pushing people to choose: stop walking, accept defeat or continue fighting for a meaningful life.

Theoretical Assumptions

The paper discusses the Bildungsroman as a subgenre of the novel regarding main characters of two German Bildungsromans, Goethe’s Wilhelm Meister from the novel Wilhelm Meister’ Apprenticeship and Thomas Mann’s Hans Castorp from the novel The Magic Mountain. First are considered theoretical assumptions of the Bildungsroman in general and then its position in 20th century when modern writers abandon notion of the hero as a fuly developed, stable and coherent character and give space to reflections, recollections and stream of consciousness. The central part of the paper deals with analyses of main characters of two Bildungsromans, Goethe’s Wilhelm Meister, the main character of the novel which is considered as a paradigm of the subgenre, and Mann’s Hans Castorp, as a parodied character from the Bildungsroman of 20th century. Key words: Bildungsroman, Goethe, Wilhelm Meister’s Aprenticeship, Thomas Mann, The Magic Mountain, parody.

Este artigo analisa a novela Morte em Veneza, de Thomas Mann, tomando como referência alguns conceitos da psicanálise. Quero ressaltar que não tomo a trama da novela e seus personagens como elementos para a construção de um caso clínico, mas sim de uma aproximação entre a literatura de Thomas Mann e a psicanálise de Freud, ambas em plena construção no início do século XX. Abstract This article analyzes Thomas Mann’s novel Death in Venice taking into account some concepts in Psychonalysis. Emphasis is placed not upon the novel and its charaters as elements for the construction of a clinical case, but on an approximation between Mann’s literature and Freud’s Psychoanalysis, both under construction in the early 20th century.

History Of

Die Geschichte des sackförmigen oder fusiformen Aneurysmas reicht in die Zeit der alten Ägypter, Byzantiner und Griechen zurück. Vesal 1557 und Harvey 1628 führten den Begriff in die moderne Medizin ein, indem sie bei je einem Patienten einen pulsierenden Tumor intra vitam feststellten und post mortem verifizierten. Weitere Eckpfeiler bildeten die Monographien von Lancisi und Scarpa im 18. bzw. beginnenden 19. Jahrhundert. Die erste wirksame Therapie bestand in der Kompression des Aneurysmasacks von außen, die zweite in der Arterienligatur, der John Hunter 1785 zum Durchbruch verhalf. Endoaneurysmoraphie (Matas) und Umhüllung mit Folien wurden breit angewendet, bevor Ultraschalldiagnostik und Bypass-Chirurgie Routineverfahren wurden und die Prognose dramatisch verbesserten. Die diagnostischen und therapeutischen Probleme in der Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts werden anhand von zwei prominenten Patienten dargestellt, Albert Einstein und Thomas Mann, die beide im Jahr 1955 an einer Aneurysmaruptur verstarben.

Abstract. Dyslexia is a phenomenon for which the brain correlates have been studied since the beginning of the 20th century. Simultaneously, the field of education has also been studying dyslexia and its remediation, mainly through behavioral data. The last two decades have seen a growing interest in integrating neuroscience and education. This article provides a quick overview of pertinent scientific literature involving neurophysiological data on functional brain differences in dyslexia and discusses their very limited influence on the development of reading remediation for dyslexic individuals. Nevertheless, it appears that if certain conditions are met – related to the key elements of educational neuroscience and to the nature of the research questions – conceivable benefits can be expected from the integration of neurophysiological data with educational research. When neurophysiological data can be employed to overcome the limits of using behavioral data alone, researchers can both unravel phenomenon otherwise impossible to document and raise new questions.
