Abstract

en_US Amazon's short summary is helpful: Die Fabel löst, wenn sie als Kommunikationsmittel Erfolg hat, beim Leser eine Erkenntnis aus. Dieses Buch beschreibt in seinem Hauptteil die geistigen Leistungen der Kommunikationspartner, auf denen dieser Erfolg beruht. Die im Anhang interpretierten stoffgleichen Fabeln verschiedener Epochen und Länder geben Beispiele eines spielerischen, fantasievollen und geschichtsschweren Gedankenaustausches. This book works from the supposition that, just as a conversation partner has grammatical structures that allow him to understand a speaker's declaration, there is an explainable connection between stimulus and reaction when rhetorical and poetic strategies are at work, which in like fashion provoke understanding. Coenen works from the way a metaphor provokes understanding and even decision about behavior. He wants to examine how a fable text releases in the fable-addressee the necessary achievements necessary to fable-communication. For his purposes he needs to separate rhetorical fable from instructive fable. The former is ordered to a concrete case of disagreement and is meant to help decide the case. The latter, belehrende, fable serves to deliver some general wisdom about life. If it impacts decisions at all, it will be in the long term. The process that the fable text initiates is different in the two cases. A first part of the book then offers an overview of the genre. The second part is the crucial part of this book: analysis of the act of communication of a fable. A four-part appendix compares belehrende fables concerning the same material. This is a book I would want to read in the midst of a good group discussing, challenging, sifting.
