About the Book

English summary: Current discourse in German Women's Literature has concentrated on the writings of prominent authors such as Anna Louisa Karsch, Sophie von LaRoche, Henriette von Egloffstein, Sophie Mereau, Caroline Schlegel, Bettine von Arnim, Rachel Varnhagen, and Anna Amalia, the duchess of Weimar. In contrast to these women and their embrace of popular forms such as the novel, travel literature, poem or drama, the Silesian writer Sigismunde Uhtke (1752-1813) is inspired by the expressive language of Baroque literature and the moods evoked by its anachronistic style. A cursory reading of her short moral and pedagogical narratives seems to suggest a female ideal that conforms to the stereotype propagated in 18th century Tugendschriften. Yet a closer reading reveals that the first-person narrator not only critiques but also subverts the image of the docile wife and mother who takes care of her family, raises her children with exemplary pedagogical methods and increases the family finances with her frugality and managerial talents. Rewriting the discourse of female normative behavior, Uhtke creates a resourceful character in the persona of the recluse who has shed the role of the traditional 18th century female to claim an independent consciously autonomous selfhood. In creating a new genre, Der weibliche Eremitenblick auf das Theater der Welt (The Female Gaze on the Theater of the World) refashions the medieval Vita of the Saints into the narrative of a woman who has found her voice. Whereas the medieval recluse lives her life in pursuit of perfectio, i.e. in unconditional service to Christ, Uhtke's recluse defines her hut as a space of vision of an enlightened human condition. Both actor and spectator, she not only views the spectacle, but comments it, interferes with it, subverts it, and determines its direction. The contemplative pious existence is replaced by an outward looking view that aims at improving the lives of others because her own sorrowful life experiences had provided her with a profound insight into the human psyche. Intertwining personal Christian faith with the rationality of the enlightenment and the emotions of the age of sensibility, Uhtke fashions a space of action that shapes interhuman relationships through the lens of progressive female agency. German description: Bisher hat sich die Forschung vorwiegend mit Werken bekannter Schriftstellerinnen und der damit verbundenen Konstruktion und Reprasentation von gender beschaftigt: so mit Anna Louisa Karsch, Sophie von LaRoche, Henriette von Egloffstein, Sophie Mereau, Caroline Schlegel, Bettine von Arnim, Rachel Varnhagen oder mit der Weimarer Herzogin Anna Amalia. Im Gegensatz zu den Frauen, die sich in den gangigen Gattungen wie Roman, Reisebeschreibung, Gedicht und Drama versuchten und in einzelnen Fallen auch profilierten, schreibt die Schlesierin Sigismunde Uhtke (1752-1813) in bildhafter und ausdrucksstarker, dem Barockroman entlehnter Sprachgebung kurze moralisch-padagogische Texte, die beim ersten Lesen - so der Eindruck - lediglich die in den zeitgenossischen Tugendschriften vorgegebene stereotype Weiblichkeit zu propagieren suchen. Die Ich-Erzahlerin ist jedoch keineswegs die Gattin und Hausfrau, die einer Familie bzw. einem Familienverband vorsteht, die Kinder vorbildlich erzieht und sich durch ihre wirtschaftlichen Kenntnisse um die finanzielle Vergrosserung des Besitzes verdient macht. Neu im Diskurs des 18. Jahrhunderts ist diese persona einer Eremitin, die die traditionelle Rolle der Frau abgelegt hat und eine eigenstandige unabhangige Identitat als Frau beansprucht. So schafft sie sich mit ihrem kleinen Werk Der weibliche Eremitenblick auf das Theater der Welt ein Genre, das die mittelalterlichen Heiligenviten der Reklusen zu einer modernen vom subjektiven Ich gestalteten Erzahlform umschreibt. Wahrend die Klausnerinnen wie die Klausner in ihrem Streben nach perfectio in vollkommener Abkehr von der Welt in der Nachfolge Christi einen asketischen Lebenswandel wahlten, versteht Uhtkes Eremitin ihre Hutte als Ort des Ausblicks auf das von Eitelkeit und Nichtigkeit beherrschte Welttheater, von dem sie wohl als Akteurin abgetreten ist, das sie aber nun als Zuschauerin betrachtet, reflektiert, kommentiert und weiterhin mitbestimmt. An die Stelle einer strengen, nach innen gerichteten religiosen Lebensform tritt nun eine der Welt zugewandte Sicht, die mit der aus eigener Lebenserfahrung gewonnenen Kenntnis der Vorgange in der menschlichen Psyche auf ihre Mitmenschen einzuwirken versucht. Aktives Engagement hat damit Prioritat vor weltabgewandter Meditation. Mit der Vernetzung von christlichem Glauben, der dem Barock entlehnten Metapher des theatrum mundi, der Vernunft der Aufklarung und der Emotion der Empfindsamkeit realisiert Uhtke damit einen Handlungsspielraum, der mit dem Anspruch auf Wirklichkeitserfahrung, Reflexionsarbeit und Selbstdarstellung die Dynamik der zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen durch ausdrucksstarke Erzahlstrategien lebhaft vor Augen fuhrt.
