Measuring the World. Preface
Julie K. Allen
Taking the Measure of National Greatness: Georg Brandes’
Condemnation of German Imperialism
In numerous public speeches and essays published around the turn of the 20th
century, the Danish intellectual Georg Brandes (1842—1927) criticized Ger-
many’s imperialistic behavior, in particular its oppressive treatment of the Dan-
ish minority in Slesvig-Holstein, as incompatible with true national greatness.
In Brandes’s view, many of the same traits and actions that bolstered Germany’s
national pride and international might violated human rights and compromised
human dignity, thus diminishing Germany’s moral and cultural stature.
Grounded in the traditions of bourgeois liberalism, Brandes’s brand of cos-
mopolitan nationalism privileges the “universal” conception of the nation as a
civic union in which the rights of heterogeneous ethnic groups must be pro-
tected by the state to which they belong, regardless of that state’s dominant
linguistic and ethnic identity. His defense of oppressed minority groups against
the economic and military might of German imperialism exemplifies his priv-
ileging of the universal over the national. (JKA)

Das Wetterleuchten der Weltliteratur. Eine Debatte um 1900
Georg Braudes s essay „Weltlitteratur,“ which appeared in the Litterarische
Echo in 1899, marks the beginning of a debate lasting until World War I about
the relationship of world literature and Heimatdichtung. The debate culminated
in the conflicts of its two most prominent representatives, the Jewish literary
scholar Richard M. Meyer and the nationalist literary historian Adolf Bartels.
The two had their first encounter in 1900 over their respective histories of
German literature, as Bartels launched a relentless antisemitic campaign against
Meyer’s work. When they both published their histories of world literature in
1913, the debate was revived. Bartels rejected any form of cosmopolitan world
literature discourse put forth by Meyer. For Bartels, instead, the question of the
“Wesen des Volkstums” was the true essence of literary studies. With this work,
he stands, on the one hand, in the tradition of antisemitic thinking reminiscent
of Ernst Moritz Arndt and, on the other hand, appears as an early cultivator of
the kind of nationalist racial and cultural policy that would culminate in the
crimes of National Socialism. (PG; in German)

Measuring the Borderland in Sabrina Janesch’s Katzenberge
(2010)
This contribution considers the role that borders and borderlands play in mea-
suring the world. ’ I argue that the increased awareness of the inherent tensions
of borders and border spaces and their shifting constellations have produced a
border poetics. Border poetics is a particular narrative and cultural practice that
moves borders to the center of the narrative and turns actual topographic and
geopolitical border sites into a staging ground for more universally oriented
figurative and literal border crossings. The analysis of Katzenberge highlights
how ‘world,’ when measured from the perspective of the borderland, is made
visible as a network of flexible and highly mobile constellations of affiliation
and belonging between variously conceived boundaries. Because of the simul-
taneous engagement with universal and particular border experiences, and its
commitment to flexible trans-border connections, border poetics can be under-
stood as an idiom of the cosmopolitan imagination within the context of a
“critical cosmopolitanism” (Delanty). (KM-C)

China Circulating in Early Modern German Print Media
This paper argues broadly that China was an important concern at early modem
German courts because East Asia constituted a region into which German elec-
tors hoped to expand their own political power. Their ventures were only some-
times successful, leading thus to a cycle of political engagement with and de-
tachment from East Asia. Within the publishing world, information about China
was constrained by the limited access Europeans had to the Middle Kingdom.
Even though Jesuit missionaries provided the most scholarly accounts of the
Chinese elite, their reports and translations did not satisfy the growing demand
for writing about China; thus early modern publishers repeated many of the
same narratives and descriptions of China in ever-new reformulations of fa-
miliar texts. This article examines the on-again, off-again media cycle of early
modem representations of China. (DP)

German Visual Culture: From National to European Style
This article focuses ostensibly on the moving image. It starts with a discussion
of cinema six years before its invention. In doing so we step back from the
projected moving image and consider its emergence in precisely the larger
visual field dominated by the transition from universalist to national style. From
there the article goes on to consider 1) the way that an attention to national
style has affected cinema and shaped (German) film studies; 2) how the national
style that culminated in New German Cinema has given way to a transnational
European style undoing stable signifiers of German culture, with the 4 German
images’ of the 1970s giving way in the 1990s to ‘images of Germany’ or even
a more general ‘images made in Germany’; and 3) how the digital revolution
in the 21st century has ruptured the frame of the silver screen and freed the
moving image to stream through new formats and in new places and in which
furthermore the changes wrought by digital reproducibility have resulted in
what we can identify as a culture industry 2.0. (RH)

World versus Worldview: Heidegger’s Thinking on Art as a
Critique of German Historicism
This article suggests that Heidegger’s thinking about art is an integral part of
his overall philosophical project critiquing dominant metaphysical views in the
Germany of his time. Heidegger’s understanding of the work that art does
assumes a central role in his project at a critical moment in German intellectual
life when critiques of historicism were strengthening. Heidegger engages such
critiques through pointing out connections between German historicism and
modem metaphysics. My contribution is to detail some of what is at stake in
Heidegger’s thinking about art as it connects to his critique of historicism on
ontological grounds, specifically in the opposition of his understanding of a
“world” created through art to the historicist “worldview.” Ultimately, I argue
that the. mode of thinking Heidegger associates with art is necessary for the
ontological transformation needed for understanding human existence as the
basis of history (instead of any metaphysical ideals, such as historicist progress).

Linguistic Borderlands: Exploring the Role of Language in
Colonialist and Nationalist Ideologies Exemplified in Uwe Timm’s
Morenga
This essay explores the link between language and power through the definition
of political and personal borders exemplified in Uwe Timm’s novel Mor-
enga, which depicts the Nama rebellion in German Southwest Africa. I inves-
tigate how the ideologies and atmosphere of this time are depicted with regard
to the historical role of language in the German Colonial period, both in the
submission and subjugation of the African language and dominance of the
German language, and its role in the suppression of the native Nama and Herero
people. I also explore the ways in which language is repeatedly part of a failed
learning process in the novel, demonstrated by the inability to achieve inter-
cultural understanding and its result in the creation of “new” pidgin languages.
Furthermore, I investigate the use of bureaucratic language to convey an au-
thoritative presence, as it is used in historical and pseudo-historical documents
and focalization through various figures and media throughout the novel. (LY)
