Jean Firges
Jean Firges (born April 25, 1934 in Sankt Vith , Belgium; † June 13, 2014 ), also Johann Firges or Hannes Anderer ( pseudonym ), was a literary scholar and writer who grew up in Ostbelgien and later became a German (and writing in German) .
Life
Jean Firges studied German , Romance and Italian studies at the Universities of Leuven , Heidelberg , Freiburg , Genoa and Cologne . In Cologne he received his doctorate in 1959 under Wilhelm Emrich on the poetry of Paul Celan . After completing his doctorate and the subsequent legal clerkship , he worked for five years as a teacher at a high school in Cologne, after which he became an assistant at the Rhineland University of Education in Aachen . In 1970 he took up the position of professor for French language and literature at the Ludwigsburg University of Education . Firges had been retired since 1999.
Jean Firges completed training in systemic therapy in 1997/98 . In 1997 he founded the literary and scientific Sonnenberg Verlag , which was initially based in Annweiler am Trifels and has since moved to Landshut .
Research focus Celan
From 1957 Firges dealt with Celan's work. At that time the first two volumes of the poet had just appeared, "Mohn und Gedächtnis" and "Von Schwelle zu Schwelle". That year Firges also met Celan personally on a visit to Paris. In 1959 he wrote his dissertation with Wilhelm Emrich , the first in Germany on Celan. He continued researching Celan's poems and secondary literature; since 1989 he has been publishing about him again. Most recently, in 2011, as part of a detailed biography of the poet, he published Black Sun Melancholy, a book about Celan's progressive mental illness. Firges examined Celan's schizoid melancholy on the one hand from the perspective of systemic therapy and on the other hand from the perspective of Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis .

Remarks
- ↑ the first German Diss. Generally on Celan
- ↑ After Celan's reading, a student (who presented himself anonymously) had an anti-Semitic caricature about C. with front cover, which indicated his Jewish origins, at the Univ. published. Celan, informed by Firges, put great pressure first on him and then on the university administration to find out the name. C. went so far, (unsuccessfully) refusing the dissertation F. ' to demand if he does not give the name. After James K. Lyon: Paul Celan and Martin Heidegger . An unresolved conversation 1951-1970. Johns Hopkins University Press , Baltimore 2006, ISBN 978-0-8018-8302-6 , pp. 88 f., Readable online. The process shows the high sensitivity Cs at that time.
