Konferenzbericht: Genialität für alle Fälle


Sabina Auckenthaler, Der Standard, 30.10.2006

Two Austrian genius, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig Wittgenstein were the subject of a symposium of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. "The Making of ... genius" dealt well with their marketing. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig Wittgenstein: the musical child prodigy from Salzburg is described as an unusual child's head, not the luxury and extravagance averse. Wittgenstein is however as far as possible without humor, and is often considered with attributes such as "deep seriousness" or "ascetic". Common to the famous Austrians, that both were in his lifetime as a genius and be celebrated as such. This compound was last weekend, the Commission on Culture and Theatre Studies at the Austrian Academy of Sciences on the occasion of the conference "The Making of ... Genius. "Austrian and German scientists were concerned with questions about the biographies of the two" great "men and the conditions or the commercialization of" genius ".

in the genesis of genius legends play a significant role. The musicologist Manfred Permoser illuminated the mystification surrounding Mozart's death, which was promoted not least by his wife, Constanze. The widow of the rumor spread, the musician wrote the Requiem for himself. It also launched sent the suspect, Mozart had been poisoned. And even if it already secured in the early 19th century was regarded as scientific, that Mozart died without any influence from outside was haunted by several poisoning theories long biographies and press and were further spun from fiction and film world. The genius status Mozart - also on his work as a musician out - was that was only good for so Permoser.Deutlich also at the meeting that Mozart's genius in the local scientific community not inviolability is readily: when the German Werner Janssen, a philosopher and director of the Arts and Science Festival Euriade "in his speech said that he could find in Mozart's letters," absolutely nothing intellectual, "he thereby provoked strong opposition. Jansen sees the letters as evidence that Mozart even in adulthood, the discrepancy between the genius musician and the obedient, lonely child never overcome hat.Auch for genius status of Wittgenstein legends have played a role, such as Austrian Klaus Puhl of the company Wittgenstein pointed out. Thus, a long-time rumors were circulating, the philosopher has lectured at Cambridge lying on his back and he was working as a goat herder in Turkey. Wittgenstein's homosexuality in turn offered to posterity, like Mozart's predilection for Fäkalausdrücke in his letters to his cousin, material for much speculation. Against the use of the name of the great thinker of the elite university, as it was for a time in conversation, the philosopher would have no objection Puhl had.

Quite different was this the Innsbruck linguist Werner Zillig. He criticized the marketing of the name of science, Wittgenstein's use, either by naming an elite university or by the FWF Wittgenstein Prize awarded. The name of Wittgenstein's famous now so will just abused only as a fashion label. Zillig also criticized the "dismemberment of the estate of Wittgenstein" in partly hostile to related institutions. This "jealousy" are the quality of the Wittgenstein Research abträglich.Abgesehen of these insights into the scientific community (n), the meeting provided an opportunity to learn about Wittgenstein as an architect. The house Wittgenstein in Vienna's third district where the meeting took place, was built under planning significant influence of the philosopher for his sister. In the 70 years the house narrowly avoided a crash, "because at that time in Austria, hardly anyone knew Wittgenstein," said Bernhard Leitner, Professor of Applied Arts in Vienna. It is thanks to its use also relevant that the house was then not yet demolished.
