Abstract

From Franz Woyzeck to Raymond Norwood Bell: Textual references to Georg Büchner’s Woyzeck in Geblendeter Augenblick by Gert Jonke. This article describes a series of examples of textual references to the unfinished drama Woyzeck (1835) by Georg Büchner, contained in the short story Geblendeter Augenblick. Anton Weberns Tod (1996) by Gert Jonke. Despite the textual correspondences, the analogies between Jonke’s charachter Raymond and Büchner’s Woyzeck are more illusory than real though. And indeed, the underlying concepts of existentialism in Jonke’s text are basically alien to Büchner’s tangible accusation to society.
