Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich Germanistik Neuere Deutsche Literatur Note 2 PhilippsUniversität Marburg Veranstaltung Thomas Mann Der Zauberberg 17 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis Sprache Deutsch Abstract In der Literaturwissenschaft scheint die Gattungsbestimmung des Zauberbergs eine schwierige Angelegenheit darzustellen Eine große Anzahl von Literaturwissenschaftlern haben sich bereits mit dieser Thematik auseinandergesetzt allerdings ohne zu einem eindeutigen für alle verbindlichen Ergebnis bei der Kategoriezuweisungen des Romans zu kommen Vielfältige Interpretationsmodelle sind so im Laufe der Jahre entstanden Jürgen Scharfschwerdt schreibt hierzu Überblickt man die bisher erschienene Literatur so erweist sich sehr schnell dass die Unterschiede zwischen den vorliegenden Ergebnissen wohl nicht größer gedacht werden können Die Deutungen reichen von einer Erneuerung bis hin zu einer absoluten Parodie des Bildungsromans Aber auch andere Interpretationen unabhängig von dem Genre der Bildung werden unternommen Einige sprechen von einem Gesellschafts andere von einem Zeit und wiederum manche von einem Entwicklungsroman Bestimmte Tendenzen lassen sich in dem Werk von Thomas Mann für jede Auslegung finden und so wurden fast alle Möglichkeiten der Deutung für Thomas Manns Zauberberg verbindlich zu machen gesucht Bereits 1921 also noch während der Arbeit an seinem Werk hat Thomas Mann den Zauberberg als einen Bildungsroman bezeichnet Entsprechende Bemerkungen lassen sich häufiger finden Auch wenn die Forschung diese Aussagen Manns zunächst dankbar aufnahmen und eine Reihe von Interpreten somit den Zauberberg zu den Bildungsromanen rechneten wurde dieser Gattungsbezeichnung vielfach wie bereits erwähnt widersprochen Diese Arbeit wird das Interpretationsmodell des Autors aufgreifen und versuchen diese Gattungszuordnung im Laufe der Arbeit zu rechtfertigen

A contemporary of Descartes and Newton Athanasius Kircher S J 1601280 was one of Europes most inventive and versatile scholars in the baroque era He published more than thirty works in fields as diverse as astronomy magnetism cryptology numerology geology and music But Kircher is most famousor infamousfor his quixotic attempt to decipher the Egyptian hieroglyphs and reconstruct the ancient traditions they encoded In 1655 after more than two decades of toil Kircher published his solution to the hieroglyphs Oedipus Aegyptiacus a work that has been called one of the most learned monstrosities of all times Here Daniel Stolzenberg presents a new interpretation of Kirchers hieroglyphic studies placing them in the context of seventeenthcentury scholarship on paganism and Oriental languages Situating Kircher in the social world of baroque Rome with its scholars artists patrons and censors Stolzenberg shows how Kirchers study of ancient paganism depended on the circulation of texts artifacts and people between Christian and Islamic civilizations Along with other participants in the rise of Oriental studies Kircher aimed to revolutionize the study of the past by mastering Near Eastern languages and recovering ancient manuscripts hidden away in the legendary libraries of Cairo and Damascus The spectacular flaws of his scholarship have fostered an image of Kircher as an eccentric anachronism a throwback to the Renaissance hermetic tradition Stolzenberg argues against this view showing how Kircher embodied essential tensions of a pivotal phase in European intellectual history when preEnlightenment scholars pioneered modern empirical methods of studying the past while still working within traditional frameworks such as biblical history and beliefs about magic and esoteric wisdom
