Editor's Note:
Schuster argues that H. C. Artmann's literary work is composed of a structuralist imagination that corresponds with Saussurean semiology and the perspective of synchrony. Following a discussion of relevant contexts such as biography, scholarship, Austrian culture and methodology, Artmann's aesthetic principles are considered under the headings of "synchrony," "arealism" and "smallness." These principles account for the three sign-categories that are characteristic of his work: aliens, angels, and monsters. By defining postmodernity as bi-paradigmatic irony, Artmann's strong potential for post-modernity is applied to the prose texts dracula dracula, tök ph'rong süleng, and Grünverschlossene Botschaft. // Three Contexts of Artmann's Work Biographic Context - Scholarly Context - Artmann's Aesthetic in His Plays Artmann's Aesthetic in His Work Generally - Cultural Context of Austrianness - Austrianness as Ideology - Artmann's "schneewittgenstein": The Motif of the Surface Artmann's Synchrony in Bi-Paradigmatic Opposition to Austrian Diachrony - Methodology: Theorizing Postmodernity - German-language/Austrian Discourses on Postmodernity and Artmann's Potential for Postmodernity - German-language Discourses on Postmodernity: The Issue of History Artmann's Defense of Popular Culture - Austrian Contexts of Postmodernity: Literature and Critical Discourses Artmann's Potential for Postmodernity - Methodological Framework - Radical Constructivism (McHale, Glasersfeld, Schmidt) - Paradigms of Signification: Two Perspectives (Diachrony, Synchrony), - Three Ideologies (Communicationism, Poststructuralism, Structuralism) - Literary Theory and Analytic Philosophy of Science - General Semiotics Semiotics and Postmodernity - Definition of Postmodernity (Postmodern Signification): Bi-Paradigmatic Irony - Structural (Static) Irony: The Minimal Version of Irony - Mono-paradigmatic Irony and Bi-paradigmatic Irony Artmann's Aesthetic of Autonomy and Smallness - Three Aesthetic Principles (Aesthetic Co-notations Ci, Cn, Cm) - Smallness: Tertiary Principle (Co-notation Cm) - Special Smallness: Concreteness - Psychological Smallness in Artmann's Self-portraits Arealism: Secondary Principle (Co-notation Qi) Synchrony: Primary Principle (Co-notation Q) - Surface Display, Analytic Reasoning, Non-Bretonian Surrealism - Apragmatic and Structuralist Authorship - Structuralist Rhetoric: Parody, Irony, Metaphor - Containment: - The Methodic Ideal of Contextual Closure, - the Aesthetic Ideal of Co-textual Enclosure - Four Special Aspects of Contextual Closure: - Multiple Closure, Structural Enclosure of Communicative Closure, - Mise-en-tableau, Methodic Horror of Poststructural Disclosure - Space and Visuality - From Co-text [text] to CiCuCm [.]: - The Structuralist Design of Artmann's Work - Co-text[text]: The Paradigmatic Formula of Artmann's Work Co-notation[notation]: Relative Primacy of Signified over Signifier Co-notation [.]: Absolute Primacy of Co-notation over Notation CiCuCm [.]: Absolute Primacy of Artmann's Aesthetic Co-notations - Ideology - Rhetoric: - Artmann's Three Typical Sign Categories - Black-black Signs (the Aliens): Black Ideology - Black Rhetoric - drei lieder (1953): Structural Death of the Christian God-as-Author Heavy Aliens: Schmaltzy Expressivity, Signature, Patriarchy, War - White-white Signs (the Angels): White Ideology - White Rhetoric - Proklamation (1953): Don Quixote; Virgin Mary's Immaculateness Co-Mary: Artmann's Structuralist Version of the Virgin Mary - White-black Signs (the Monsters): White Ideology - Black Rhetoric Nero and Wieland der Schmied: The Black Weight of life Death as a Black Metaphor of Stasis, Sweetened by Humor and Childlikeness [Kindhaftigkeit] med ana schwoa^pm dintn (1958): Monstrousness in Dialect Ught Monsters: Blac.
