Offener Lesekreis mit Blanche Kommerell zu Christa Wolfs »Kein Ort. Nirgends«
Friedrich Schlegel äußerte 1799 hellsichtig: »Die Geschlechtsverschiedenheit ist nur eine Äußerlichkeit des menschlichen Daseyns (...) in der That sind die Männlichkeit und die Weiblichkeit, wie sie gewöhnlich genommen und getrieben werden, die gefährlichsten Hindernisse der Menschlichkeit.«
Passend zur aktuellen Ausstellung »Männerbilder« widmet sich der Lesekreis dem Thema »Männlichkeit«: Heinrich von Kleist, his letters and Christa Wolf's studies of Kleist's Penthesilea are this time the focus of more detailed reading. In the Romantic period, the period of change and the androgynous gender designs were also challenged gender roles. The 21 year old Caroline of Günderrode said: "Many times I had the unfeminine desire to throw myself into a wild tumult of battle to die. Why was I not a man! I have no sense of feminine virtues, for women happiness. Only the wild, great, I like shiny. It is an unfortunate but incorrigible imbalance in my soul, and it will and must remain so, because I am a woman and have desires like a man without a man's strength. That's why I'm so changeable, and so at odds with me ... "The desire to escape the staring role reversals, runs like a leitmotif through the Women's Writing of the early 19th Century: If I could learn "like the boys" (Fanny Lewald), "If I were a man but at least only" (Annette von Droste-Hülshoff) Oh I want a boy to be "(Bettine Brentano). Heinrich von Kleist was also "on the" search for a safe sex. Christa Wolf describes in "No place. Nowhere "(1979) a fictional meeting between Caroline of Günderrode and Heinrich von Kleist. As two kindred spirits, they inevitably draw to identify itself as the world and himself suffering.
It is worthwhile, as always, a closer look: in the literary text and social conditions.
