Topic: Arno Schmidt


  
  Arno Schmidt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arno Schmidt (January 18, 1914 in Hamburg - June 3, 1979 in Celle) was a German author and translator.
Schmidt was a strict individualist, almost a solipsist.
His theory of etyms is developed in his magnum opus Zettels Traum, in which an elderly writer comments Poe's works in a thought stream, while discussing a Poe translation with a couple of translators and flirting with their teenage daughter.

 Arno Schmidt - Wikipedia
Arno (Otto) Schmidt (Amburgo 18 gennaio 1914 - Celle 3 giugno 1979), è stato uno degli scrittori più importanti della Germania del dopoguerra; la sua posizione, unica nella letteratura del XX secolo, è costruita sul conflitto fra il racconto tradizionale e l'avanguardia delle tecniche narrative.
Schmidt viene chiamato alle armi nel 1940 (in artiglieria); trasferito poi in Alsazia e, dal 1942, in Norvegia.
Nel febbraio del 1945 Alice Schmidt si trasferisce dalla suocera, con l'occupazione della Slesia da parte dei sovietici diventata questione di giorni, a Quedlinburg, riuscendo a salvare così i manoscritti del marito e una edizione completa di Christoph Martin Wieland.

 reVIEW : Heise
Schmidt's imagined future is shaped by the context of the Cold War and its implications for the divided Germany of the 1950s and 60s.
Schmidt's protagonists, however resistant they may be to the "official" sphere of culture, often seem more at home in the world of books than the world of people, and find the countryside quite congenial to their pursuits.
In all of Schmidt's science fiction texts, then, the fundamental issue is the fate of culture and education in societies that have gone past the point of self-destruction, and in which only vestiges of the earlier civilizations remain.

 Radio Dialogs II - Arno Schmidt
Schmidt concentrates on authors that he believes are overlooked (and was, in fact, almost single-handedly responsible for the renewed interest in some of them in the German-speaking countries over the past decades).
Schmidt shows that even the case of Frenssen is not easily reduced to fl and white, and he handles the complex issues well.
Schmidt again is very good in pointing out influence and regard, something otherwise easily overlooked, and while he skims across the surface manages still to provide a great deal of salient detail, giving a better impression of the man's accomplishments and significance than most full-length biographies or studies.

 Arno Schmidt - Wikipedia
Schmidt wurde 1940 zur Wehrmacht (Artillerie) eingezogen; zunächst stand er im Elsass, dann ab 1942 in Norwegen, von wo er sich an die Front meldete, um einen kurzen Heimaturlaub zu bekommen, in dem er die Flucht seiner Frau nach Westen organisierte.
Arno Schmidt war nach 1945 (cum grano salis) befreundet mit Alfred Andersch, Wilhelm Michels, Eberhard Schlotter und Hans Wollschläger sowie später mit Jan Philipp Reemtsma, der ihn finanziell sehr unterstützte.

Arno Schmidt (1914-1979) is not a well-known figure in German media studies.
Schmidt's merger of various disciplines through poetic representation must be seen within the larger context of his encyclopedic project labeled "Großn Dichtungn" (ZT 1047), which seeks to reconstruct and weld together knowledge buried in memory.
Schmidt views the multiple forms of knowledge inserted in a literary text as a means of communicative circulation: "ein verschränkter Ahnen=, and Enkel=Dienst" (SdA 177).

Arno Schmidt (January 18, 1914in Hamburg June 3, 1979 in Celle) was a German author and translator.
But Schmidt was a German who had served the Wehrmacht, and his vociferous postwar contempt for Nazism has not prevented Freudian-minded critics from locating a general strategy of denial at the root of Schmidt's resistance to the currents of European thought at midcentury.

 Arno Schmidt in Greifswald
Arno Schmidt, dessen Werke man heute recht vergeblich in Bücherläden sucht, lebte von 1914 bis 1979 ein unspektakuläres Leben nach außen hin, er hatte in den 30iger Jahren eine Kaufmannslehre absolviert, ging zum Militär, mit dem er in Europa herumkam...Frankreich, England, Schweden, Norwegen und Dänemark waren die Stationen.
All der Unterlagen, die Schmidt nach seinem Tod 1979 hinterließ, nahm sich der Hamburger Jan Philipp Reemtsma an und gründete eine Stiftung, die sich für das Haus Arno Schmidts in Bargfeld, seinen Nachlaß und dessen Veröffentlichung verantwortlich fühlt.
Schmidt mit Goethe vergleichen zu wollen, wäre wohl übertrieben, aber mit der Sorgfalt, mit der die umfangreiche Ausstellung in Greifswald zusammengestellt wurde, kann man denken, daß Arno Schmidt zumindest Reemtsma und seinen Kollegen Goethe ebenbürtig ist.

 The Iowa Review: Review
First, because as an "intellectual," in the best sense of that term, Schmidt was more than equipped to respond to such signalings and the world-historical contexts from which they issued; instead, autodidactic and hostile to the academy, he became a one-man literary-critical industry, composing impassioned and isolationist manifestoes in defense of his own works.
This is, Schmidt argued, a formal imitation of the disjunctive and discontinuous reality of consciousness, and it is meant to decelerate, defamiliarize, "dehydrate" (Schmidt's term) the act of reading---to force a reader out of his or her receptive passivity into participation in the "process" of the text.
To read Schmidt for the first time is either to find this immediately toxic---philosophically, methodologically, syntactically---or else to be utterly seduced by the delights of what might be called Schmidt's "hyperrealism"---the meticulous moment-by-moment capture and transmission of experience.

 Dalkey Archive Press: Arno Schmidt
The novella was Schmidt's preferred form at the beginning of his writing career, and this volume collects the ten novellas he wrote between Entymesis (1949) and Republica Intelligentsia (1957), most of the them appearing here in English for the first time.
Ranging from Schmidt at his most inviting and whimsical to Schmidt at his most cerebral and complex, the stories are a perfect introduction to his work.
Among Schmidt enthusiasts, scholars, and fans, the two novels stand in sharp contrast to one another, the first belonging to his early, more realistic phase, and the second introducing his later, more experimental phase.

 The School for Atheists - Arno Schmidt
Arno Schmidt's The School for Atheists is a play-novel.
Sound is more important to Schmidt than spelling, rooting in etymology is an exercise he can't pass up at any turn, and every few sentences he forces two words where usually there is only one (beginning a word with the same letters, for example, but allowing for two endings, e.g.
However, Schmidt's etym-ological interests, his rooting in / for word-roots, and his poly-glot/gluttony make for a metaGerman original that does, in many respects, simplify the foreign re-renderers task; in addition, English is the popular second tongue in the book.

Arno Schmidt, whose work is gradually being made available in English by the proficient and adventurous translator John E. Woods (also responsible for recent renditions of Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain and Buddenbrooks) is one of German literature's best kept secrets.
Like Joyce, who is the subject of the final piece in the book, Schmidt indulged in unorthodox punctuation, spellings, and grammatical experimentation; his work is also acerbic, somewhat misanthropic, maddening and entertaining -- the result, most likely, of the cruel segment of German history he witnessed, and of his lively intelligence.
In these discussions, for which he wrote all the parts, Schmidt plays all of his devils and their advocates with equal ferocity.

His early response to the writings of Arno Schmidt resulted in generous support for this radically experimental avantgardist.
By 1980 he had absolved all obligations towards his father's cigarette concern and sold his shares profitably, so that in 1984 he could establish the Arno Schmidt Foundation to take care of an oeuvre and legacy that Reemtsma sees as embodying the "psychological physiognomy of the 20th century".
Another link with Arno Schmidt involved Reemtsma's interest in Christoph Martin Wieland, the Enlightenment author whose great late novel "Aristipp" was the subject of a doctorial thesis entitled "The Book of the I", much praised among scholars.

Diese Anordnung ist Schmidts Versuch, die Simultaneität von Geschehen, bewussten Gedanken und unbewusst gelenkten Assoziationen und Triebregungen in einer für den Leser übersichtlichen Weise bereits im Textbild wiederzugeben.
Ungewöhnlich ist aber auch der von Schmidt im Laufe von zwei Jahrzehnten entwickelte Schreibstil: Die Regeln der traditionellen Orthographie sind aufgelöst (in Zeiten vor der Rechtschreibreform provoka-tiefer als heute), und ebenso regelfern ist die eigenwillige, quasi selbst schon narrative Zeichensetzung (?...!...?...!!!).
In Verarbeitung von Freuds Theorie des Unbewussten und seiner sprachlichen Strukturierung (Träume, Fehlleistungen, Assoziationen) entwickelte Schmidt eine Schreibweise, die in ihrer Angleichung der Orthographie an die gesprochene Sprache und einer systematischen "Verschreibkunst" eine permanente Mehrdeutigkeit des Textes erzeugt - mehrdeutig vor allem im sexuellen Sinne.
