The Criticism of Cultural Techniques:The Problem of Writing in Gottfried Keller's Novella Die miβbrauchten Liebesbriefe
With the process of literalization,the popularization of education,as well as the development of the conception of Bildung during the New Humanism,reading and writing became the dominant cultural techniques in the mid-nineteenth century.In collaboration with the capital operation,they laid a solid foundation for the bourgeois society.The concept of aesthetic autonomy,originated in the eighteenth century,gradually departed from the inherited models of imitation and representation of traditional literature.Meanwhile,the issue of self-referentiality of literature was also highlighted in this process.Revolving around the plots of transcription and reproduction of the love letters,Keller's novella Die miβbrauchten Liebesbriefe manages to satirize the complex situation of bourgeois individual between body,emotion,media and conventions of cultural communication,thereby caricaturing and reflecting on the contradiction and compromise between Bildung,writing and the real life.
