- Abstract
The wanderer motif played an important role during the 19th-Century German art, literature, and philosophy, mostly because of its capacity for embodiment and for connecting places, discourses, and related motifs like the summit experience and man before a borderline situation. Both Caspar David Friedrich's and Friedrich Nietzsche's renditions of this figure add two unexpected aspects: the wanderer staged as a rear-view figure and as a dancer, respectively. The purpose of this paper is to confront these two seldom connections with the wandering experience and its motifs, and to show how the temporal structure of Friedrich's rear-view figure and Nietzsche's conception of Zarathustra as a wandering dancer are not only deeply connected with each other, but also with our own experience of time.
