Speak of language.

“What does a writer do at a university?” Asks the second owner of the poetics lectureship, Barbara Köhler, in her inaugural lecture, and gives an answer: “She creates writing, creates it, creates here: a present.”

The poetics lectureship enables “to build bridges between science and art as well as the opportunity for students to experience freedom in times of increasingly narrowing academic structures and to deal with the aesthetic theory and practice of a living author in direct contact as part of their studies To gain knowledge of the so-called "literary business", to be able to gain experience with their own literary creativity and, in the happiest case, perhaps to be stimulated into literary production ", says Jürgen Fohrmann .

This volume introduces the first three poetics lecturers and lets them have their say in the written form of their inaugural lectures: the translator and Arabist Stefan Weidner , the author and text artist Barbara Köhler and the author Oswald Egger , successor to Thomas Klings at the Hombroich rocket station .

It is supplemented u. a. with a foreword by Jürgen Fohrmann , laudations by Sabine Mainberger , Thomas Fechner-Smarsly and Kerstin Stüssel and a poem by Götz Gericke, Stefanie Kunkel and Anne Christina Scheuss.

Thomas Kling. Double exposure. Exhibition catalog

Edited by Gabriele Wix and Kerstin Stüssel

The poet and essayist Thomas Kling , who died in 2005 at the age of 47, has had a major impact on German-language literature since the 1980s. He countered the view of the self in the literature of the 1970s, the so-called new inwardness, with an orientation towards reality and its media constitution. This includes the language in its historical layers and its broad spectrum from technical language to colloquial use; The visual media play a decisive role here.

The exhibition in the art and museum library starts at the interface between image and word and the friction effects of these media in Klings' writing, when it traces the material traces of the poet's intensive engagement with the visual arts.
