Wednesday, 23 October 2002
3 - 5 p.m.
Reading Group
ROBERT MUSIL'S 'DER MANN OHNE EIGENSCHAFTEN'
The group will focus on the intellectual and aesthetic challenge presented
by the narrator's ironic portrayal of Mach's positivism, Nietzsche's
perspectivism and the neo-positivism of the 'Wiener Kreis'. The concept of a
'subject without qualities' and its significance for late twentieth-century
Austrian literature will be examined.
The group will meet monthly by arrangement under the chairmanship of the
Centre's Co-Ordinator, Lektor Dr Martin Liebscher.
