Zur wissensvermittelnden und erkenntnisgenerierenden Funktion von Schemata in Lyrik am Beispiel einiger Altersgedichte von Harald Hartung T1 - Schema L? On the Knowledge-Imparting and Knowledge-Generating Function of Schemata in Poetry on the Example of a Few Poems of Aging by Harald Hartung T2 - Internationale Zeitschrift für Kulturkomparatistik Bd. 1 (2019): Lyrik und Erkenntnis N2 - This paper characterizes several ways of transferring knowledge via lyric poetry. It is argued that conveying information via schemata is a prevalent mode of that kind. But there are also others like employing a concise use of language or pointing at other texts using intertextual references. Besides, many poetry books establish some sort of a lyric sequence to further elaborate a certain topic. As information in lyric poetry is not only schematized, but also sketchy, from a critical reception point of view it may also be highlighted that recipients can make use of it as some kind of a template that enables them to gain new insights related to their own living environment. The important role of schemata as well as the other kinds of knowledge transfer specified in this paper are exemplified with reference to the contemporary poetry of ageing and with a special focus on several poems by Harald Hartung. As ageing is a process that becomes more and more important to western societies due to demographic development, the poetry of ageing and of old age in particular may serve as a tool for gaining knowledge and especially knowledge of what-it-is-like regarding that topic. This adds even more authority to the question of how knowledge is transferred via literature and lyric poetry in particular.
