英文摘要 | This paper looks at “fever,” “weather,” and “symptoms” in Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain in terms of the development, before an effective cure for this disease was discovered, of a clinical concept of tuberculosis. The perspective of our current age (process, condition) of globalization will serve as frame of reference for this study of Mann's masterpiece, written and set in early 20th -century Germany. Walter Benjamin claims that when a vision drawn from the present points to the possibility of further dividing an historical fragment, the revolutionary chance arises that something canceled may be divulged in a smaller unit that still preserves it. In a literary text that views Nature as something lying beyond human intervention and the sanatorium as a disciplinary apparatus, there inevitably exist units that dissolve under the scrutiny of the present. The infinitely smaller units emerging out of this dissolution clamor to be reorganized into new configurations, with new conceptions being formed in the process. |
