Alexander Kluge’s revolutionary storytelling for the 21st-century pivots on the production of anti-realist hope under conditions of real catastrophe. Rather than relying on possibility alone, his experimental miniatures engender counterfactual horizons of futurity that are made incrementally accessible to lived experience through narrative form. Innovative close readings and theoretical reflection alike illuminate the dimensional quality of future time in Kluge’s radical prose, where off-worldly orientation and unnatural narrative together yield new sensory perspectives on associative networks, futurity, scale, and perspective itself. This study also affords new perspectives on the importance of Kluge’s creative writing for critical studies of German thought (including Kant, Marx, Benjamin, and especially Adorno), Holocaust memory, contemporary globalization, literary miniatures, and narrative studies of futurity as form. Cosmic Miniatures contributes an experiential but non-empirical sense of hope to future studies, a scholarly field of pressing public interest in endangered times.

»Die poetische Kraft der Theorie« bezieht sich für Alexander Kluge weniger auf reine »Philosophie« oder die abgesonderte »Lust am Denken« als vielmehr auf die altgriechische Praxis der »Theoria«. Wie der antike Theoretiker namens Theoros, der als Gesandter aus fremden Ländern heimkehrte, um von anderen Völkern und Kulturen zu erzählen, strebt Kluges Interesse an der poetischen Kraft der Theorie nach der Anreicherung der menschlichen Wesenskräfte, die subjektive Erfahrung von Differenz in einer Krisenzeit auszudrücken, in der die Werkzeuge des Erzählens verarmt sind. Diese Ausgabe des Jahrbuchs erkundet Kluges Theorie dieses narrativen Potenzials im stürmischen Zeitalter der Digitalität, das von Algorithmen regiert, mit Informationen überflutet und von sozialen Unruhen zerrüttet ist."The poetic power of theory" has for Alexander Kluge less to do with pure "philosophy" or the solitary "pleasures in thinking" than with the ancient Greek practice of "theoria". Like the ancient theoretician called theoros, who returned home from foreign lands to tell of other peoples and cultures, Kluge''s interest in the poetic force of theory seeks to fortify humankind''s essential powers for expressing the subjective experience of difference at a time of crisis when the necessary tools for narration have become impoverished. The sixth volume of the yearbook queries Kluge''s theory of narrative''s potential in the stormy age of digitality governed by algorithms, flooded with information, and disrupted by social conflict.
