Das Hauptthema des Artikels ist die Rezeption der österreichischen Literatur der Zwischenkriegszeit in den Wiadomości Literackie. Das war eine der populärsten Zeitschriften dieser Periode, die sich sowohl die kulturelle Bildung der Gesellschaft, als auch die Verbreitung der fremden Literatur zum Ziel setzte. Am meisten wurde zwar die französische Literatur propagiert, man schenkte aber auch viel Aufmerksamkeit den deutschsprachigen Autoren (das beweisen Forscher, die im Artikel zitiert wurden). Man unterschied damals zwischen der deutschen und der österreichischen Literatur nicht, aber es wurden viele Verfasser, die heutzutage als Vertreter der österreichischen Literatur gelten, präsentiert: Joseph Roth, Stefan Zweig, Rainer Maria Rilke, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Arthur Schnitzler, Ödön von Horváth, Franz Werfel u.a. Die Autorin beschreibt und kommentiert die Interviews mit den Schriftstellern, die Rezensionen ihrer Bücher und andere Artikel in der Zeitschrift Wiadomości Literackie.

In 1922 Sigmund Freud wrote to fellow Viennese author and dramatist Arthur Schnitzler: ‘I believe I have avoided you out of a sort of fear of my double’. Through a series of reflections on this imagined doubling and its reception, this paper demonstrates that the ambivalent desire for his literary other attested by Freud's confession goes to the heart of both theoretical and historical questions regarding the nature of psychoanalysis. Bringing Schnitzler's resistance to Freud into conversation with attempts by psychoanalytically oriented literary scholars to affirm the Doppengängertum of the two men, it argues that not only psychoanalytic theories and modernist literature but also the tendency to identify the two must be treated as historical phenomena. Furthermore, the paper contends, Schnitzler's work stands in a more critical relationship to its Viennese milieu than Freud's: his examination of the vicissitudes of feminine desire in ‘Fräulein Else’ underlines the importance of what lies outside the oedipal narrative through which the case study of ‘Dora’ comes to be centered on the uncanny nexus of identification with and anxious flight from the other.

This chapter discusses not only how the fabric of relations binds people to all others, but also how its fissures are a part of the “nature” or the “essence of life,” at least “human life.” If it is true that all life, however it defines its belonging, is protected by the ideals and the institutions that constitute a common good for humanity, and if it is true, more importantly, that no one can elude murderous consent, then the paradox of murderous consent is that humanity's common good turns against life itself. Rather than merely accept, encourage, and promote the destruction of life, the fabric of relations that should prevent such annihilation assists it. All wars, all acts of violence, whether civil or between states, trample on the ideals of humanity, even as those who are responsible for the abuse proclaim these same ideals as their own. Nothing that safeguards life is immune from being invoked and exploited so as to effect this kind of reversal. This was the bitter conclusion—as expressed in his Reflections on War and Death—that Sigmund Freud reached in 1915 after the first of four long years of mutual devastation by Europe's nations. Stefan Zweig—in The World of Yesterday: Memories of a European, a retrospective on the war—came to this same conclusion regarding literature, though twenty-five years later.

This paper aims to analyse Elena Ferrante’s use of the metaphor of playing with dolls in her novel, La figlia oscura (The Lost Daughter). With a view of shedding a light on this issue, the first part of the paper will review the prominent essays of Sigmund Freud, Ernst Jentsch, Walter Benjamin, Rainer Maria Rilke and Charles Baudelaire that question the nature of playing with dolls in terms of psychology with various focuses. These essays generally agree on the fact that playing with dolls is a strong threshold to come to terms with the self, as well as on the fact that this coming to terms with the self is by nature not guaranteed. The second part will examine Elena Ferrante’s dealing with the problem of playing with dolls and her character’s journey to death and a possible psychological resurrection.

The prophet and the prophetic feature prominently in Rainer Maria Rilke’s Neue Gedichte (1907) and in Stefan Zweig’s one and only pacifist drama Jeremias (1917). This chapter examines the poetic and rhetorical significance of their renderings of the Jeremiah myth through in-depth textual and structural analysis. It shows the critical attitude towards the prophetic as expressed in Rilke’s poem “Jeremia” challenging the divine voice, which had turned the prophet into its mere mouthpiece. Furthermore, it discusses the interrelation between Rilke’s poem and Zweig’s drama in thematic terms, as well as the influence of Nietzsche’s Zarathustra on both.
