The present article discusses, in a first step, ground-breaking recent publications on the lyric subject, and dedicates itself, in a second step, to a new concept of lyric persona, which is devised to overcome the constrictions of the categories of subject and subjectivity and to open access of theory to all kinds and eras of lyric poetry from the Old English Seafarer to modern concrete poetry. The first book to be reviewed is Autor und Subjekt im Gedicht. Positionen, Perspektiven und Praktiken heute (2021), a collection of essays which pursues an argumentatively stimulating dialogical strategy. The articles begin with Wolf Schmid's twenty theses on the abstract author, an appropriation of the narratological »implicit« author to the theory of lyric poetry. This statement is followed by a number of articles which alternatingly argue in favour of and against the concept of the abstract author. Peter Hühn, for instance, believes the term to be analytically especially fruitful, while Ralph Müller speaks of it as a »narratological spectre«. It is significant that, using Schmid's term, Rainer Grübel analyzes a number of intriguing modern Russian poems, which he calls hybrid, since he identifies transitions from poetic to quasi reality-related passages and diagnoses concomitant stylistic changes in the texts. The international perspective is then widened by a comprehensive investigation of Russian, German and English terminological traditions. Marion Rutz demonstrates that handbooks and textbooks are by far not compatible. Among other terms she deals with the controversial German term »das lyrische Ich« (the lyric I). An investigation of the use of this term is then afforded by Hermann Korte's examination of the poetry and poetics of Gottfried Benn, Thomas Kling and Durs Grünbein. Subsequently, a group of articles deals with the fate of the subject in recent and current German poetry. Analyzing poems by Sabine Scho, Anne Cotton and Thomas Kling, Friederike Reents verifies, instead of »subject fatigue«, new possibilities of the subject. Analogous insights are gained by Mirjam Springer in her investigation of the lyric portrait and in a politically tempered article by Peter Geist, which discovers examples of varying degrees of imaginative self-construction going together with increasing author-relatedness. The volume concludes with a large-scale philosophically oriented article by Henrieke Stahl which constructs the model of a polymorphous subject based on Heinrich Barth's existential variant of transcendental philosophy. The second publication to be discussed is Varja Balžalorsky Antić's monograph The Lyric Subject. A Reconceptualization (2022), which, though treating roughly the same subject as Autor und Subjekt, is oriented a totally different way. Like the one year previously published work, Antić proceeds from the awareness that the numerous new developments of poetry call for a reconceptualization of the genre and especially of the concept of the subject. In order to clarify the relation between the subject of language and the subject of poetry, she makes wide-ranging excursions into philosophy and discourse theory, which have not been undertaken in that way by other researchers in the field. Antić's treatment of the prehistory of the concept of subjectivity is comprehensive. She erects her edifice of ideas on the basis of the theories of Émile Benveniste, Henri Meschonnic and others. Also, she goes back to Germanophone philosophers and theorists like Friedrich Schleiermacher and Wilhelm von Humboldt. In particular, she emphasizes the development of Benveniste's linguistics of enunciation to Meschonnic's poetics of enunciation, according to which subjectivity does not reside in the lyric persona, but in the »the transsubject, the I-you of enunciation expanded onto all discourse«. In this context Meschonnic's rhythm theory, which has profound ethical implications, is of central importance. Literary works which she subjects to analysis are troubadour poetry, in which she identifies polyphony and internal dialogism and consequently subjectivization, Nerval's sonnet »El Desdichado«, to which she applies Paul Ricœur's dialectic of ipse and idem, and Henri Michaux' long poem »La Ralentie«, in which she identifies »dispersed multiplicity« and simultaneously integrated totality. The last chapter »Recapitulation and Systematization of Subject Configuration« has deserved special attention. Inspired by a short article, »Persona. Its Meaning and Significance«, by James Dowthwaite (2023), the present author elaborates the concept of the lyric persona in the last part of the contribution. The creative capacity of persona is seen to occupy the free space between the empiric author and the finished product. The independence of the persona from the author has a liberating quality, which allows the author a fictional space and a range of possible expressions. The lyric persona can be called the aesthetic and cognitive laboratory between author and poem, which is responsible for the invention of speakers, the use of pronouns and all the formal and aesthetic elements represented in the poem. One advantage of the persona concept is that it has a liberating effect in regard to the overuse of the subject concept, though forms of I-saying are within the reach of the persona. Another advantage is the scope of the term persona. It can be applied from the Old English »Seafarer« to modern concrete poems like Edwin Morgan's »Pomander«. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Der in einschlägigen wissenschaftlichen Diskursen gängige Begriff der Postdigitalität (vgl. Cramer 2014) bezeichnet einen tiefgreifenden Transformationsprozess, der alle relevanten Dimensionen des gesellschaftlichen Lebens tangiert. Nicht nur die Omnipräsenz und Ubiquität des Digitalen spielen dabei ein zentrale Rolle, auch die Hybridität «alter» und «neuer» Medien bzw. medientechnologischer Infrastrukturen sowie auch Hybrisierungen von (Künstler:innen-)Subjekten gehen damit einher und verändern grundlegend die Perspektive darauf, wer in künstlerischen Prozessen Subjekt ist bzw. als was sich Subjekt konstelliert. Postdigitalität als Kulturwandel ist allerdings keine gängige Perspektive im bildungspolitischen Kontext Schule. Im Spannungsfeld zwischen Tradierung und Transformation konfligieren auch Subjekt-, Bildungs- und Kunstverständnisse. Unter Bezugnahme auf Latours Netzwerkparadigma der Akteur-Netzwerk-Theorie, auf New Materialism wie auch auf praxeologische Perspektiven eines doing subject werden im Folgenden die grundlegenden Transgressionen und Grenzauflösungen reflektiert, die sich sowohl für den pädagogischen als auch künstlerischen Kontext ergeben. Die Transgressionen sind dabei zweifach zu rahmen: zum einen hinsichtlich der pädagogischen Dimensionen Subjekt und Bildung, zum anderen hinsichtlich der Transformation des Kunstbegriffs. Beide Dimensionen werden für das Schultheater als eine performative Praxis der Reflexion postdigitaler Kulturen zusammengeführt und in ihrer Abgrenzung zum vorherrschenden schulisch-institutionalisierten Subjekt-, Bildungs- und Kunstverständnis reflektiert.

The article comparatively asks about the form of subject orientation in children's theology and children's philosophy. Central to this is the respective understanding of the subject, which is located in the matrix of strong - weak and static - dynamic. Both children's theology and children's philosophy work with a strong concept of the subject. However, this is more static in children's theology than in children's philosophy. On the strong - weak axis, it becomes clear that children's philosophy is more explicit about the contextuality and interconnectedness of subjects than children's theology. The orientation towards the strong, rather static subject in children's theology proves to be didactically ambivalent. It endangers the goal-orientation, but protects against a didactics of images. The different forms of subject orientation in children's theology and children's philosophy are explained by specific competitive relations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In diesem Beitrag wird der coronabedingte Berührungsentzug und der dadurch entstandene skin hunger aus phänomenologischer Perspektive beleuchtet. Dabei wird zunächst die Leiblichkeit des Subjektes thematisiert und erläutert, dass zwischen Leiblichkeit und Berührung ein gegenseitiges Konstitutionsverhältnis besteht. Darauf aufbauend, wird die Haut als Medium der Berührbarkeit und zugleich ihre identitätsstiftende Bedeutung vorgestellt. Die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Leib und dem Haut- Ich macht deutlich, dass das Subjekt ständig mit sich selbst, der Welt und potentiell mit seinen Mitmenschen in Berührung steht. Die Zwischenleiblichkeit und die in ihr grundgelegte Möglichkeit zur Fremdberührung, welche stets durch die Haut vermittelt ist, eröffnen ein Verständnis für die Gewichtigkeit der Haut-Nähe und Haut-Berührung für die intersubjektive Kommunikation und für die menschliche Vulnerabilität. Schließlich werden zentrale Gesichtspunkte des permanenten Berührungsentzuges, welcher einen erheblichen Vulnerabilitätsfaktor darstellt, vermittelt.

The article discusses the connections between education and media and proposes the use of media constellation analysis as an approach. It emphasizes that media play an important role in educational processes and that traditional educational theories often have a weak understanding of media. The media constellation model considers media as complex constellations consisting of materialities, knowledge/practices, content, and subject positions. The text examines the relationship between subject and medium in the context of cinema and emphasizes that subject and medium influence and produce each other. It also points out that subject positioning has a political dimension and includes certain individuals while excluding others. The article discusses various educational theoretical positions in relation to media constellations and emphasizes the importance of media practices in everyday life. It is stated that further research is needed to theoretically investigate the relationship between media and education in a more informed manner. [Extracted from the article]
