Abstract:
The Graveside Orations of Carl Einstein. 2019 marks the centenary of the murder of Rosa Luxemburg by a gang of fascists in Berlin, Germany. Her body was dumped in the river and not retrieved for many months. On 13 June 1919, a memorial was held. At the ceremony, there were a number of graveside orations. One was given by the art theorist and writer Carl Einstein. Einstein’s contribution has been the subject of some confusion.
Through the multiple substitutions of Carl Einstein – a practice that Einstein pursued throughout his life – the themes of masked subjectivity, mistaken identities, of persons that are substituted after the event, of orations, speeches, and texts rewritten, speculated upon and redelivered that celebrate, map and fictionalise a past life are explored in this book.
