The latter takes refuge in three modes of encapsulating contingency into speech: 1. by placing it into the framework of the paradox of speaking about the unsayable, 2. by empowering its phantasms to reinvoke a past which was repressed by the constraints of official culture, 3. and, conversely, to efface historical traces of the given culture, official or non, by constructing an ‘unprecedented culture’, a cultural a-topia. These different approaches to contingency – transcendent, mnemonic, and anti-mnemonic – either foster divergent sets of argumentation within the fantastic text, and/or are implemented by textual strategies.

In A Tomb for Boris Davidovich (Grobnica za Borisa Davidovica) that reality is the Great Terror of the late 1930s, in The Hourglass (Pescanik) it is the massacre on the Danube in Novi Sad in 1942, perpetrated by Hungarian fascists, and the death of Kis's father in Auschwitz. Though this reality is to be represented by authentic stories rather than fiction, the authentic in his prose texts does intertwine with the phantastic, not an irrealistic phantastic that projects alternative worlds, but a phantastic "documentation" of catastrophe. The phantastic is legitimized by authenticity and vice versa.1 Consequently, the documents presented in Kis's novels are, as in Borges's Ficciones, factual as well as fictitious. In his ethical poetics, however, or "po-ethics," as he calls it, Kis distances himself from the ludic erudition of Borges's fictive documents.2 While Borges uses fictive documents in order to denounce the contingency of facts and

Renate Lachmann kommentiert die Terminologien und analysiert literarische Texte sowie eine Auswahl an Modi der Wissensdarstellung (Kircher, Comenius). Sie greift dabei nicht nur auf neorhetorische Begriffe (Verfremdung, Intertextualität), sondern auch auf Begriffe der klassischen Rhetorik (Memoria, Evidentia, Affekt) zurück. Damit gelingt ihr die Beschreibung von Übersetzungs- und Aneignungsverfahren (der russische Heine, Nabokovs Puskin), der ›verborgenen‹ Aspekte der Texte Gogols und der affektgesteuerten Texte Dostojewskis.

There are four aspects of rhetoric to be pointed out: l . rhetoric as the art of persuasive speech; 2. rhetoric as a doctrine (including its institutionalisation); 3. rhetoric as a descriptive apparatus; 4. rhetoric as a normative authority. The latter two aspects allow to define rhetoric as a secondary grammar and its function as that of a metatext. In the process by which a culture organizes itself the rhetorical text achieves the status of a metatext and thus comes into the same level as those texts through which a cultural system attempts to describe itself. Rhetoric describes and prescribes procedures for the construction of communicative forms and communicative situations in which speech is used for various purposes; that is, it takes on the task of making language functional. The dichotomous conception of language which rhetoric developed at its very beginning motivates the dichotomy between aesthetic (poetic) and practical functions of language. Rhetoric as a secondary system with normative claims and internalized (social and aesthetic) values becomes a decisive factor in the attempt of a culture to organize its lingual and communicative system, on the one had because of the deeply rooted dichotomy, on the other because of the tendency of rhetoric to build up a unified language with definite features and clear functions on the basis of the dichotomous scheme. Rhetoric as metatext, including its normative and descriptive functions, collapses in the 18th century, due to a new system of aesthetic values. The criticism of rhetoric is based on concepts of creativity and originality and a new evaluation of lingual questions. Thus the function of rhetoric as a stabilizing force is overthrown. The cultural context develops new decriptive systems with inherent normativity : stylistics, semantics, theory of literature, linguistic poetics, new (semiotic) rhetoric. The new disciplines retrace the path of rhetoric toward the stabilization of the unified language.
