| Summary: | Arriving from recent research on western esotericism and worldview literature around 1900 this article investigates the poetics of German fin-de-siècle cosmogonic discourse by reading Hanns Hörbigers so-called “Welteislehre” or Glazial-Kosmogonie (1912) and Rudolf Steiners “spiritual-scientific” writings, most of all his Akasha-Chronik (1904/08) and Geheimwissenschaft (1910). In focusing predominantly on the specific rhetorical and representational strategies involved in propagating and transmitting a knowledge of the universe and its respective origins, it can be seen that these projects not only both mask and reflexively embrace their epistemological limitations but also devote extensive effort to various textual and performative acts of beginning. |
