About this Item

Hardcover. Remembering and forgetting are omnipresent phenomena in the context of literary history. There are many authors who no one knows anymore, as socio-cultural change often changes the framework for collective memory processes. One example is the Saarland writer Karl Christian Mueller (pseudonym: Teut Ansolt), one of the most prominent and controversial leaders of the youth movement, who has now almost been forgotten. In the post-war period he took on a prominent position in the cultural sector, including. as chairman of the "Saarland Authors' Association" and the "Saarland Cultural Circle", and was committed to rebuilding and establishing the "Trucht" as an autonomous group of boys. His work, composed over fifty years, includes poetry, dramas and amateur plays, several short stories and novellas, writings critical of culture, as well as a late work that identifies him as an outstanding natural poet as well as an experimental historical poet.

About this title

Synopsis

English summary: Remembering and forgetting are ubiquitous phenomena in the context of literary history. There are many authors that no one remembers, because socio-cultural change often changes the context for collective memory processes. Almost-forgotten writer Karl Christian Muller (pseudonym: Teut Ansolt) from the county of Saarland is phenomenological evidence of this. Since the late Weimar Republic, he has been one of the most prominent and controversial leaders and authors of the German Youth Movement. In post-war Germany he took on cultural tasks in a prominent position, which included chairman of the Saarland Author Association and the Saarland Cultural Committee as well as managing director of the Germany-Foundation. He also committed himself to maintaining the reconstruction and the establishment of Trucht as an autonomous group of boys. His work includes poetry, drama, and amateur dramatics, several short stories and novellas, critical writings as well as his late work, which identifies him both as an outstanding poet of nature and a historical poet with a passion for experiment. German text. German description: Erinnern und Vergessen sind omniprasente Phanomene im Kontext der Literaturgeschichte. Autoren, die keiner mehr kennt, gibt es viele, da der soziokulturelle Wandel oftmals den Rahmen fur kollektive Erinnerungsprozesse verandert. Ein Beispiel ist der heute nahezu in Vergessenheit geratene saarlandische Schriftsteller Karl Christian Muller (Pseudonym: Teut Ansolt), eine der prominentesten und umstrittensten Fuhrungsfiguren der Jugendbewegung. In der Nachkriegszeit ubernahm er an herausgehobener Stelle Aufgaben im Kulturbetrieb, u. a. als Vorsitzender des Saarlandischen Autorenverbandes und des Saarlandischen Kulturkreises, und engagierte sich fur den Neuaufbau und die Etablierung der Trucht als autonome Jungengruppe. Sein uber funfzig Jahre hinweg entstandenes Werk umfasst Lyrik, Dramen und Laienspiele, mehrere Erzahlungen und Novellen, kulturkritische Schriften sowie ein Spatwerk, das ihn sowohl als herausragenden Naturlyriker als auch experimentierfreudigen Geschichtslyriker ausweist.
