ein Samstags-Tucholsky für euch (aus "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles", 1929)

Kurt Tucholsk – Das möblierte Zimmer
Die Vermieterin spricht:
Nee - das alaub ich meine Mieter nich, daß hier 'n Stück wechjenommen würt - diß muß allens so bleiben! Diß is doch schön! Sehn Se, diß schmückt die Wände, un denn is jedes Stick auch 'ne Erinnerung! Hier: diß is die Toteninsel von Bölkiehn, diß hat mir mein seliger Mann nach unse Hochzeitsreise aus Gollnow mitjebracht, un diß hier is auch von mein Seligen, diß is echt Porzellan, „Auf Flüjeln des Jesanges" heißt diß, und diß hier is Rom mitsams der Wohnung des Papstes, und diß is von Tante Frieda, und das is die Wachthurch, und diß hier is 'ne Wette: da ham sie in Kejelklub von Max, was mein Sohn ist, jewett, wer am längsten kann 'n Jas Pilsenes uffn Kopp trahren, un da hat er jewonnen, un da ham sie ihm diB jeschenkt, „Die Ausdauer wird jekrönt* steht drunter, un das is Henny Pochten als Kamaliendame, und diß sind die Leuchter von meine Hochzeit, und das bin ich als junges Mädchen, Gottseidank! es war alles da! - un das is Hindenburg und diß is Lerne leiden ohne zu klagen, damit die Herren sehen, sie sind bei einer bessern Familie, und nee ... also, das alaub ich meine Mieter nicht, daß sie hier 'n Stück wecknehm - !"

While preparing just found this rereading Benjamin: Hegel & Hasenheide, Uckermark & Fourier…

from Benjamin, Arcades Project:
"When property has been abolished throughout Germany, these ultra-clever Berliners will set up a Démocratie Pacifique on the Hasenheide.... Watch out! A new Messiah will presently arise in the Uckermark—a Messiah who will tailor Fourier to accord with Hegel, erect a phalanstery upon the eternal categories, and lay it down as an eternal law of the self-developing idea that capital, talent, and labor all have a definite share in the product. This will be the New Testament of Hegelian-ism; old Hegel will be the Old Testament; the 'state,' the law, will be a 'taskmaster over Christ'; and the phalanstery, in which the privies are located in accordance with logical necessity, will be the 'new Heaven' and the 'new Earth, the new Jerusalem descending from heaven decked out like a bride." Engels to Marx, Barmen, November 19, 1844, in Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, Briefwechsel, vol. 1, 1844-1853, ed. Marx-Engels-Lenin Institut (Moscow and Leningrad, 1935), p. 11.22

Happy about these plant-handbook proofs and excited for the upcoming volume put together by @isabelkranz.bsky.social & @joelalala.bsky.social. I wrote about vegetal imagination in outer space, radishes on the ISS, and the "astrobiological apriori" – stay tuned! #Astrobiology #Plantstudies #HistSci

Erinnert mich an diese Stelle bei Goethe (bei Blumenberg); frage mich, ob diese Anwendung sehr ähnlicher Metaphorik trotz ganz anderer – gegenläufiger? – Logik hier etwas bedeuten könnte… Yet, and probably, I just read too much Blumenberg.

Enjoying my close reading of all that is implied in Guillory calling Auerbach‘s and Sedgwick‘s readings ”most virtuoso hermeneutic performances.“

Finishing this book got me through the pandemic & made a dream come true! A deep history of the agential autonomy of short narrative forms since 1700 – topos, lettre de cachet, fable, novella, fairy tale, proverb, commonplace, epiphany, enacted story, videotale … www.zonebooks.org/books/150-ci...

This 2001 photo was taken 5 years before I arrived at @viadrina.eu but the vibe matches my seminar and excursion experiences, with and w/o Karl Schlögel. Happy he'll receive the Friedenspreis @boersenverein.bsky.social on Sunday: A reminder of the mind-body-intensity of site-specific humanities.
