Calderón De La Barca

This paper intends to outline a panorama of the stage directions present in the seven plays by Calderón de la Barca of which the autograph manuscript has been preserved, in order to observe the modifications they suffered when the texts were transmitted to other ancient testimonies, with some specific references to modern critical editions. The analysis intends to show if there is regularity in this process, either towards the amplification, or towards the reduction, of the stage directions written by Calderón. It has been verified, however, that neither Calderón was regular in his writing practice with respect to the stage directions, nor were the following testimonies, no matter if they were printed editions or company manuscripts, although the genre and the scenic complexity of the plays seem to be behind the behaviour of the poet. Only in the Vera Tassis editions a conscious and quite systematic work regarding the stage directions has been perceived, tending in general to the addition of explicit indications that could be deduced from the dialogue, with the intention, presumably, of facilitating the reading of the texts.

AbstractThe paper compares the typography of the first edition of Goethe’s collected writings 1787–1790 with the layout (‹mise en page›) of the manuscript copies from which the print was set. It tries to establish the textual authority of particular typographic devices for print dramas such as the indications of scenes, stage directions, and speech prefixes by tracing their relation to the manuscript setting copies and their development in subsequent volumes of the print edition, but especially for the tragedy Torquato Tasso. It turns out that print typography is sensitive to the manuscript record but shows substantial tendencies to introducing additional typographic hierarchy, thereby underlining outward form, i. e. external characteristics of classicist drama. Later editions published during Goethe’s lifetime seem to go much further in this direction. The consequences for the typographic setup in critical editions of Goethe’s dramas are discussed.

Writing Practice

This article, written in the form of an untimely academic novella is a text, which explores academic authoring as thinking and writing practice in a place called Sweden. The aim is on inquiries of geographical space, place, and academia, and the interrelation between the social and symbolic formation of class, gender and whiteness. The novella uses different writing strategies and visual representations such as documentary writing and photographing from the research process, letters to a friend, and memories from childhood, based on three generations of women's lives. The methodology can be described as a critical reflexive writing strategy inspired by poststructuralist and postcolonial feminist theory and literary fiction, and additionally by methodological approaches in the humanities and social sciences, such as theorizing of letters, memory work, and narrative, and autobiographical approaches. In particular, it draws on work by the theorist critic and writer of fiction, Hélène Cixous, and the feminist author and theorist Charlotte Perkins Gilman, drawing on interpretation of Cixous' essay “Enter the Theatre” and Gilman's story “The Yellow Wallpaper.” Characteristics of the untimely academic novella elaborate with possible forms of the symbolic, visual, and performative photographic and sensory in writing research; furthermore, time, social change, and unfinal endings play a pervasive role. It may be read as a story that situates and theorizes embodyment, landscape, and power through the interweaving of forest rural farming spaces and academic office spaces by tracing autobiographical imprints of an untimely feminist author. “The Snow Angel and Other Imprints” is the second article in a trilogy of untimely academic novellas. The first, with the title “The Professor's Chair,” was published in Swedish in 2007 (in the anthology “Genus och det akademiska skrivandets former,” (Eds.) Bränström Öhman & Livholts), and forthcoming in English in the journal Life Writing 2010.

The present study reviews D. Popovici’s founding attempts in the field of literary history. It pursues his activity along four axes: critical editions of modern Romanian authors, studies in literary history, university lectures and “Studii literare” [Literary Studies], the scientific journal he founded as a professor of Cluj University. Both original and modern in his theoretic, methodologic as well as academic options, Popovici is a founder of institutions and initiator of a research school. His scientific projects are singular in their scope. Yet his critic posterity destines him to an unwarranted “singularity”. Our reflection focuses upon the exemplary elements in the scholar’s destiny.
