- Title
GRENZEN DES FRAGMENTS.
- Authors
Burdorf, Dieter
- Abstract
In this paper, the term >fragment< is first defined in the context of a theory of the >work<, i.e., the completed artifact: unlike works, fragments are deficient artifacts in at least one respect. Moreover, it is outlined where the fragment reaches its limits. This means on the one hand the material delimitation of the fragment from its surroundings by cuts, breaks, and contours, on the other hand the conceptual delimitation of the fragment from adjacent literary forms of prose and poetry, e.g. aphorism, sketch, draft, cut-up, or monostichon. Finally, >total fragments< (George Steiner) are considered, that is, extreme forms of fragmentation, especially such cases in which artifacts have failed, been lost or destroyed completely or almost completely, this means: they have reached a maximum of deficiency. The focus of the argumentation lies in the field of literature; however, other arts and media are often used for comparison.
