Unterlaufenes Erzählen

Short Description

The monograph examines four works from the Middle High German courtly literature (“Lanzelet” by Ulrich von Zatzikhoven, “Parzival” by Wolfram von Eschenbach, “Tristan” by Gottfried von Strassburg, and “Wigalois” by Wirnt von Grafenberg). Phenomena like ambiguities, vagueness, ruptures in coherence are connected with the psychoanalytic view of speech as a dynamic intertwining of different often contrasting messages. With this perspective that was heavily inspired by Jacques Lacans’s works, the study undertakes to pursue an ‘other’ narration undermining the narration.
