Die Zeitschrift Tumult und ihre Inszenierung des ›Selbstdenkens‹

The article deals with the history of the journal Tumult. Vierteljahresschrift für Konsensstörung and its self-designation as a ›self-thinker‹ borrowed from Arthur Schopenhauer and Karl Heinz Bohrer. The ›self-thinker‹ in the sense of a heroic resistance narrative is positioned in the magazine as a radical contrasting figure to an ostensibly conformist social consensus. Against this background, the literary texts presented in Tumult are discussed in terms of their political program.
