Throughout his life, he had major influence on figures as diverse as Goethe, Schiller, Kant, Hegel, Hölderlin, Kierkegaard, and a host of others. Hamann is also one of the most difficult-to-read authors in the German language, writing in an ultracondensed, hyperallusive language for which he became infamous--and which his detractors constantly used to dismiss him. Today, Hamann has been picked up by literary theorists as a precursor of the linguistic turn. The Last Mask focuses on Hamann's final work, Entkleidung und Verklärung (1786), which was consciously conceived of as an "Abschluss" of his "kleine Autorschaft" and a final defense against his critics. Equally philological and theoretical, it identifies a number of previously unnoticed manuscript alterations that help answer some long-standing questions in Hamann scholarship as well as open new doors for inquiry. Importantly, the manuscripts show that Hamann is one of the earliest theorists of the virtual in our sense of the word today, using the word "virtualiter" to describe his own theory. He links this theory with the concept of the mask or disguise, and conceives of texts as fabrics or textiles composed of threads and strings. The philological focus is on Hamann's understanding of intertextuality, and on the basis of his dominant string images his notion of virtuality is brought into conversation with Deleuze's idea of a plane of immanence through the image of a skein of immanence, a knotted bundle of thread which solidifies into a three-dimensional virtual space--a new perspective in contemporary discussions surrounding the nature of virtuality 536 $a Made possible with the generous support of the Centre for Arts and Cultural Theory (ZKK), the Department of Comparative LIterature (AVL), and the Forschungskredit of the University of Zurich $c Grant No. FK-19-057. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references 600 10 $a Hamann, Johann Georg, $d 1730-1788 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Hamann, Johann Georg, $d 1730-1788. $t Entkleidung und VerklaÌrung. 600 17 $a Hamann, Johann Georg, $d 1730-1788. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00028841 650 0 $a Masks. 650 0 $a Masquerades. 650 7 $a Masquerades. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011181 650 7 $a Masks. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011082 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 710 2 $a ZuÌrcher Hochschule der KuÌnste, $e sponsor. 710 2 $a UniversitaÌt ZuÌrich, $e sponsor. 830 0 $a Think art (Zurich, Switzerland) 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117024234.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=899173568FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
