[sandyman-on-a-pirateship]

Trying to get germans to watch "sandman" (by neil gaiman) is quite a challenge cause there are already two wildly popular pieces of media with that name or a similar one out here.

The first one is the novel "the sandman" by E.T.A. Hofman, a quite terrifying literary classic from the dark romantic period, which a lot of students were forced to read and analyse at some point in their schooltime.

The other one is a childrens tv show thats been going on for over 60 years starring this dude:

who is basically called "the little sandguy"

So if you tell people that they should watch "sandman" they'll either think you want to subject them to relive the horrors of their schooltime or the horrors of their childhood.

(The little sandguy throws sleepsand into your eyes and makes you sleepy and you have to go to bed after the show. I used to tactically cover my eyes with my hands so the sand wouldn't get into them and i could stay awake longer.)

I've successfully talked a few people into watching the show and they told me quite relieved that it was very different than they expected it to be.

NEW VIDEO!

There‘s something incredibly magnetic about brooding, tortured souls in media. Dr. Faustus, Holden Caulfield, Professor Snape, Victor Frankenstein… the list goes on. What is it about them that draws us in? We’ve got a few ideas…

Neil Gaimans "The Sandman" but every evening Dream disguises himself with a little goatee and a little red pointed hat and visits children to throw sand in their eyes and make them sleep.

symptomatic of my longstanding & somewhat disturbing curiosity that my eyes zoom in on any mention of opticians, such as on pg 17 of the Altmann biography

of all the artisanal goods produced in the 16th-19th century, glasses & other lenses seem to be coded as Jewish in contemporary literature. This pattern is particularly visible in E.T.A. Hoffman's short story "The Sandman," where the antisemitically-coded mad scientist Coppelius (a.k.a. my favorite character) reappears as a seller of magical lenses which deceive the protagonist Nathanael into falling in love with the automaton Olympia.

Within Hoffman's tale the glasses Coppelius handles are associated with the dominant eye-motif of the story & possibly with the alchemical instruments of Nathanael's father, but it doesn't offer an explanation for the broader use of glasses to feminize/racialize/demean Jewish characters in literature. Was optics a field of production not regulated by guilds with restrictive religious covenants? Was it a result of the lingering obsession with Spinoza? Something else entirely?

I know prejudice doesn't "make sense" but I wonder if there's not a term paper in here somewhere. Probably about Knobloch's symbolic inversion of the Coppelius encounters in his descriptions of Dr. Schiff within Herr Moses in Berlin.

#my favorite prof does not hesitate to explain to the class when a character from 19th century literature is an antisemitic archetype #it is somewhat harder for her to explain why they are so consistently my favorite character in the story #coppelius was minding his business doing alchemy & nathanael just happened to project all his trauma onto him #he's not even a victor frankenstein type he takes accountability for Olympia #antisemitism cw #baruch spinoza #eta hoffman #der sandmann #herr moses am alexanderplatz #alexander altmann #herr moses in berlin #heinz knobloch

"[...] was denn das für ein Mann sei, der Sandmann? »Ei Thanelchen«, erwiderte diese, »weißt du das noch nicht? Das ist ein böser Mann, der kommt zu den Kindern, wenn sie nicht zu Bett gehen wollen und wirft ihnen Händevoll Sand in die Augen, daß sie blutig zum Kopf herausspringen, die wirft er dann in den Sack und trägt sie in den Halbmond zur Atzung für seine Kinderchen; die sitzen dort im Nest und haben krumme Schnäbel, wie die Eulen, damit picken sie der unartigen Menschenkindlein Augen auf.«"

"Mir war es als würden Menschengesichter ringsumher sichtbar, aber ohne Augen – scheußliche, tiefe schwarze Höhlen statt ihrer. »Augen her, Augen her!« rief Coppelius mit dumpfer dröhnender Stimme."

Der Sandmann - E.T.A. Hoffmann

(transl. under the cut)

"Full of curiosity to hear more of this Sandman, and his particular connection with children, I at last asked the old woman who tended my youngest sister what sort of man he was. “Eh, Natty,” said she, “do you not know that yet? He is a wicked man, who comes to children when they will not go to bed, and throws a handful of sand into their eyes, so that they start out bleeding from their heads. These eyes he puts in a bag and carries them to the half-moon to feed his own children, who sit in the nest up yonder, and have crooked beaks like owls with which they may pick up the eyes of the naughty human children.”

"It seemed to me, as if I saw human faces around without any eyes–but with deep holes instead. “Eyes here, eyes!” said Coppelius in a dull roaring voice."

I've already been in love with André so much but after seeing him in Sandmann yesterday I fell for him so much harder. I swear I had a breakdown afterwards I can not handle this.
