Gennadij Ajgi translates his auratic manner of perceiving into poetry. For him, the poem becomes an epistemic medium transcending the sensory perception of nature for a hidden, spiritual level. Les Murray, conversely, demonstrates an autopoietic understanding of nature: The poet himself becomes the medium of the living being. Christian Lehnert takes up impulses from both orientations. He combines the opposing concepts so that they correspond to the hierarchical levels of his religious and metaphysical vision of the world. The three authors all aim to alter the attitude of humans towards nature through their ‘translation from nature into poetry’ so that humankind will open itself towards nature and raise it from an object which can be instrumentalised to an autonomous subject on equal footing with humanity itself.

Die russische Versepik erreicht zwar weder die Popularitat noch die Quantitat, wie sie die anglophone Welt zeigt, ist aber deutlich starker und formenreicher als im deutschsprachigen Raum ausgepragt. Ahnlich wie in der deutschsprachigen Literatur ist es in der russischsprachigen Literatur eher das literarisch ambitionierte Feld, welches versepische Formen aufgreift und diese in Absetzung von der Tradition innovativ weiterentwickelt. Es zeichnet sich durch Formen von Hybridisierungen gattungsspezifischer Sprechmodi und Merkmale sowie nicht zuletzt von Prosa und Vers, gesprochener und poetisch gestalteter Sprache aus, die zur Gestaltung und Brechung von Subjektivitat eingesetzt werden.

Die Frage nach Erkenntnis durch oder in Lyrik fällt weder exklusiv in einen genuin literaturwissenschaftlichen oder gar lyrikologischen Aufgabebereich, noch in den der Philosophie, etwa in die Ästhetik oder die Erkenntnistheorie, aber bedarf zu ihrer Erörterung eines Zugangs aus der Sicht sowohl spezialisierter Lyrikforschung als auch der philosophischen Erkenntnistheorie

In them, the witch Baba Yaga is reinterpreted, on the one hand, as an initiator into female self-liberation and self-realisation and, on the other, as a catalyst for the release of creativity. Through Baba Yaga, the protagonists discover and develop an autonomous self that derives its strength from the aesthetic act, whereby art resp. poetry and autonomy are shown to coincide. Meanwhile, femininity stands for the human soul, freed from the structural constraints imposed by the masculine principle of logos. The figure of Baba Yaga is thus chosen simultaneously and very likely independently by both authors as an archetype for the soul’s discovery of its own autonomy in aesthetic (self-)creation, while the genre of the ‘novel in poems’ itself reflects this motif of formal self-constitution.

Georg Picht transformed Benjamin’s aura-concept into a method of pre-rational knowledge forms, whose mediums includes foremost music, but also poetry and art. In modern nature poetry the varieties of aura cognition can be determined and described with the help of Benjamin’s and Picht’s concepts: Gennadij Ajgi creates poetic equivalents for the experience of nature-aura; Keijiro Suga makes a diagnosis of aura of areas of natural sites or landscapes and their historical transformation through war and nuclear catastrophe (Fukushima); Christian Lehnert translates auratic communication with nature in poetic conversations.

On the basis of case studies, this issue addresses the challenges of poetry in transition and stimulates new approaches in lyric theory and methodology.

The ‘novel in poems’ appears in different subtypes, which can be categorized according to the following criteria: (1) the presence of one speaker versus several speakers, (2) the presence of a speaker as lyric protagonist and/or narrator, and (3) the presence of a blend of distinct modes of lyric, narrative, and dramatic representation in various forms of combination. Specific characteristics of the ‘novel in poems’ are: 1) variation of constituent poetic forms with different degrees of semantic autonomy and brevity; 2) hyper-structuring through symmetries, holism, and equivalences; 3) a tendency to differentiate mediating instances within the text; 4) the reduction or elimination of the narrator or of narrative principles and the use of an omnipresent textual subject; 5) the pr...

In this paper, M-PSK signals are classified using the optimized polynomial classifier. The distinct features i.e., higher order cumulants (HOC's) are extracted from the noisy received signal and the dataset is generated with different number of samples, various SNR's and on several fading channels. The proposed classifier structure classifies the overall modulation classification problem into binary sub-classifications. In each sub-classification, the extracted features are expanded using polynomial expansion into higher dimension space. In higher dimension space numerous non-linearly separable classes becomes linearly separable. The performance of the proposed classifier is evaluated on Rayleigh and Rician fading channels in the presence of additive white gaussian noise (AWGN). The polynomial classifier performance is optimized using one of the famous heuristic computational techniques i.e., Genetic Algorithm (GA). The extensive simulations have been carried with and without optimization, which shows relatively better percentage classification accuracy (PCA) as compared with the state of art existing techniques.

If XIX century poetry still believed to depict an absolute natural world, after 1945 it was no longer possibile to consider nature as an object separated from the human being and subjected to him. This foreword shows how the poetical discourse on natural hystory after 1945 necessarily implied a doscourse on human history. Far from being absolute, nature in Anthropocene finally proved to be transient and transitory.

Das Modell wird einerseits transzendentalphilosophisch mit Bezug auf die Existenzphilosophie Heinrich Barths begrundet, der das Subjekt analog zum asthetischen Phanomen in vier Stufen beschreibt, und andererseits durch eine hermeneutische Methode asthetischer Rekonstruktion operationalisiert, die aus der Kombination Objektiver und Strukturaler Hermeneutik gewonnen wird. Abschliesend wird an Beispielen demonstriert, dass dieses Modell erlaubt, sowohl polymorphe, die vier Ebenen gegeneinander ausspielende (Elena Svarc) als auch homogene, sie zusammenfuhrende Lyrik (Aleksandr Ulanov) zu beschreiben.

Nevertheless, the subject has resurfaced in contemporary practice in a wide range of new and complex forms specific to the lyric mode. This article suggests a multilevel model for both the formal and historical analysis of the subject in contemporary lyric poetry.
