Synopsis

In a series of readings of Sophocles, Holderlin, Baudelaire, Nietzsche and Benjamin, Rainer Nagele investigates the extraordinary territory that lies not merely between texts but also between languages - in translations. This space between texts and languages is approached in the figure of the echo. It is the figure of a transmission through and with the help of resistance. It is a complex figure that cannot be reduced to the simple repetition of a stable entity or origin. And yet, Nagele argues, it is in this "echo-chamber" of resonances that history in all its concreteness has its place and becomes readable.
