Liebe im Zeitalter der Wissenschaften vom Menschen
Der Physiker, Psychologe, Ingenieur, Offizier und Schriftsteller Robert Musil schreibt Literatur mit Herrschaftsanspruch. Er verfolgt das Ziel, in der Literatur das gesamte Wissen seiner Zeit zu konzentrieren und zu übertrumpfen. Dabei geht Musil von der Annahme aus, daß sich alle kurrenten Sprach- und Wissensordnungen beim "gesprächigsten" Thema treffen: der Liebe. Kunst wird schon beimfrühen Musil zur exakten Wissenschaft, und sein unvollendeter Roman "Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften" ist ein Spiegelbild der Welt imentropischen Verfall."(...) Perhaps the most brilliant and original comprehensive study of Musil of recent years is Gerhard Meisel's monograph of 1991. (...)"Distinguished outsider: Robert Musil and his critics, Columbia 1994

Die sexuelle Krise
Aus dem Buch: "Diese Arbeit befaßt sich mit einem Thema, über welches dermalen mehr geredet und geschrieben wird, als vielleicht über jedes andere. Wenn aber so viel geredet wird von einer Sache, so ist das immer ein Zeichen großer Not durch sie. So wie der menschliche Körper nur dann gesund ist, wenn man seine einzelnen Teile nicht spürt, so der gesellschaftliche Organismus, wenn sich seine einzelnen Probleme nicht allzusehr aus dem Gesamtgefüge herausheben. Und wenn Hunderte von Stimmen über einer einzigen Frage laut werden, so ist das keinesfalls eine Modeströmung, sondern Not, die nach Ausdruck ringt." Inhalt: - Kritik der Ehe in ihrer heutigen Gestalt - Das Wesen der ehelichen Gemeinschaft - Das legitime Moment der Ehe - Das soziale Moment der Ehe - Das Suggestionsmoment der Ehe - Kant und die Metaphysik der Sitten - Völkergeschichtliches zur Moralfrage - Die Errichtung von Extremforderungen - Vom Wesen der Liebe - Liebesspiel - Das Dämonium der Liebe - Der Liebeshaß - Liebesnot - Wesen und Ursprung der Prostitution - Die Nötigung zur Prostitution - Die melancholische Travestie - Der Geldpunkt - Zur Reform der Prostitution - Ursprung und Notwendigkeit der Frauenbewegung - Die Bekämpfung der Frauenbewegung - Die Berechtigung zum tätigen Leben - Die schädigenden Momente der Frauenbewegung - Allgemeine Rassenprobleme - Der Sexualkampf - Sozialismus und Selektionstheorie - Zeugungsreformation - Psychologie des Geschlechtskampfes - Geschlechtspsychologie des Mannes - Kapitel - Die Berechtigung zum Sexualleben - Die Ursachen des Elends - Das besondere Sexualelend der Frau - Die psychopathischen Folgen des sexuellen Elends - Resolutionen - Grete Meisel-Heß (1879 - 1922) war eine österreichische Schriftstellerin und Frauenrechtlerin.

Capital as Literature
Studies of Marx, particularly of his masterwork Capital (1867), are as a rule tutelary—they attempt to explain him. Even literary readers of Marx from Raymond Williams to Fredric Jameson seek to secure Marxist tenets by means of Marxian style. ‘Capital’ as Literature: Marx Against Himself departs from this tradition by reading Capital as literary in its own right rather than as political economy with style as its filigree rather than its focus. Here Marx emerges in a different light. If literature is writing that calls whatever is settled into question, then Marx's writing is literature, not because of its revolutionary program, but because Marx's rhetoric, particularly its key trope of chiasmus, undoes the coherence of the notions it propounds, especially in Capital. Marx's chiasmatic style turns Capital into a mise en abyme and Marx's enterprise into an example of what it describes rather than its foil or antidote: the structure of capital itself. Capital, like capital, is a self-begetting production machine whose fungibility as a form is one and the same with the money economy it unravels. ‘Capital’ as Literature: Marx Against Himself shows how this irony unfolds and what the implications are for epistemology, cultural studies, and literary criticism.

Intellektuellen
Aus dem Buch: "Olga war in der verflossenen Nacht durch jene unerwartete und au�ergew�hnliche Begegnung an das schmerzlichste Erlebnis ihrer Jugend erinnert worden. Diese "Jugend" schien f�r sie selbst hinter ihr zu liegen, und, was das Seltsame war, sie beklagte das nicht. Denn ihr war, als h�tte sie sich all ihre "Jugend" hindurch gegen niederziehende, schwerlastende M�chte zur Wehr gesetzt, als h�tte sie ihre ganze, junge Kraft gegen den Druck eines dunklen Schicksals stemmen m�ssen, bis es endlich, endlich ein wenig lichter und freier um sie geworden war." Grete Meisel-He� (1879-1922) verheiratete Gellert, war eine �sterreichische Schriftstellerin.

Literary Freud
In this book, Perry Meisel argues that Freud's texts are properly literary, and casts Freud as both literary theoretician and practitioner. Here, after an introductory reception history of Freud as literature, Meisel provides a series of close readings of Freud's major texts that take literary representation as their central focus. As for Freud's influence on others, it, too, is structured like a literary history, argues Meisel. He discusses Freud's influence on modernism, Strachey's Standard Edition (once again the subject of debate with the recent Penguin retranslations), and Freud's influence on Michel Foucault. Finally, we explore the relationship of Freud and literature. Does an understanding of how Freud himself writes and influences help us to read literature and interpret it anew?

Suchende Seelen (Vollst�ndige Ausgabe)
Grete Meisel-He� (1879-1922) war eine �sterreichische Schriftstellerin und Frauenrechtlerin. Aus dem Buch: "Sie fing an, die Umrisse zu erkennen, die ihr bis jetzt verschwommen gewesen waren. Mit starren Augen sah sie hin, wie es sich reckte und dehnte und langsam die m�chtige Pranke hob. Ein riesiges, sphinxhaftes Unget�m hinter tausend wirren, d�steren Schleiern, die nur der Blick durchdringt, den das Leid gesch�rft ... �berall sah sie es jetzt. Wie die Menschen sich abm�hten, den Kolo� zu erklimmen! Und er lie� sie an sich heran. Und sie klommen, in Schwei� und Blut gebadet, rastlos, unerm�dlich. Es hielt still, mit steinernem L�cheln. Aber was sie nicht merkten, war, da� es ihnen heimlich, langsam, stetig die besten Kr�fte stahl. Und wenn sie dort waren, wo sie hingewollt und hingemu�t, dann fielen sie zusammen wie morscher Zunder." Inhalt: - Das Leid - Die L�ge - Krisis

German Refugee Historians and Friedrich Meinecke
This collection of letters from German refugee historians to their teacher Friedrich Meinecke sheds light on questions of emigration and German-Jewish and German-American identity. It also reflects the deep impact that emigrant historians had on American teaching and research in European history, as well as on the rebuilding of German historiography after it was discredited during the Nazi era.

Willy Meisl, “King of the Sports Journalists”
Willy Meisl was an Austrian-Jewish sports journalist who dominated the field during the Weimar Republic. A son of Viennese coffee houses, Meisl intellectualised sports writing in the interwar years, covering themes like professionalism, tactics and sporting antiquity for wide audiences, in styles more commonly found in the newspapers’ culture sections. Contemporaries called him the King of the Sports Journalists. But his work was affected profoundly by the Nazis’ rise to power, whereupon he began to write about Nazism’s roots, the terror it unleashed, and about the Jews and Jewish identity; exposing the fallacies of the racial theories that forced him into exile. This volume presents his most searing writings on these themes. Presented in their original German, but with introductory material in English, the texts show Meisl to be one of the interwar period’s foremost chroniclers of change, and will reintroduce readers to a now largely forgotten pioneer of journalism between the wars.

How Plays Work
Why are readers who are generally at home with narrative and discursive prose, and even readily responsive to poetry, far less confident and intuitive when it comes to plays? The complication lies in the twofold character of the play as it exists on the page - as a script or score to be realized, and as literature. Martin Meisel's engaging account of how we read play plays on the page shows that the path to the fullest imaginative response is an understanding of howplays work. What is entailed is something like learning a language - vocabulary, grammar, syntax - but learning also how the language operates in those concrete situations where it is deployed.Meisel begins with a look at matters often taken for granted in coding and convention, and then - under 'Beginnings' - at what is entailed in establishing and entering the invented world of the play. Each succeeding chapter is a gesture at enlarging the scope: 'Seeing and Hearing', 'The Uses of Place', 'The Role of the Audience', 'The Shape of the Action', and 'The Action of Words'. The final chapters, 'Reading Meanings' and 'Primal Attractions', explore ways in which both the drive forsignificant understanding and the appetite for wonder can and do find satisfaction and delight. Cultivated in tone and jargon-free, How Plays Work is illuminated by dozens of judiciously chosen examples from western drama - from classical Greek dramatists to contemporary playwrights, both canonical and relatively obscure. It will appeal as much to the serious student of the theatre as to the playgoer who likes to read a play before seeing it performed.
