    Abstract: E. T. A. Hoffmann's Haimatochare , an epistolary fiction set in Hawaii, defamiliarizes the narrative of an erotic colonial fantasy by coaxing the reader into the assumption that its alluring central figure is an Indigenous woman and then revealing her to be an insect. This article studies the dynamics of misapprehension within the text, beginning with Walter Benjamin's misreading of its title as “Heimatochare,” a mistake that has proved strangely persistent in the critical literature. By reading Haimatochare alongside Der Sandmann , the article shows how Haimatochare introduces a web of “Heimat”‐related terms that both solicit the misreading and indicate the insect's identity such that the central revelation is already partially intuited and thus takes on an uncanny aspect. Furthermore, in making “Heimat” present across the narrative and then destabilizing it, the text unfolds an experience of “Heimweh,” where home is both fantasy and sickness at once.

    Abstract: Abstract As scholars familiar with his manuscripts and drawings will know, E.T.A. Hoffmann had the idiosyncratic and rather charming habit of signing off some of his informal letters not with a signature in the conventional sense, but with a spontaneous self-portrait: a doodle. The aim of this article is to examine such forms by framing them within the context of a broader question about Hoffmann’s doodles and drawings. Specifically, it places his ‘signature doodles’ at the centre of a graphic conversation between the contingencies of the medium and an impulse towards meaningful form. It is in that sense that they open up a space for new reflections on the author’s relationship to writing and drawing, registering a vision of the author not as an authorizing or authoritative entity, held above and separate from the work, but rather as a peculiar entanglement of self and work, whose identity is defined and confirmed from within the act of composition.

    Abstract: Abstract With his illustrations for E.T.A. Hoffmann’s Rat Krespel and Der Sandmann , the German artist Stephan Klenner-Otto enters into a creative dialogue which combines the writer’s fantastic juxtapositions of the everyday and the supernatural with the artist’s surrealist intertwining of the realistic, the quirky and the grotesque. The latter’s self-irony amplifies the former’s satire, expressing the kinship that forms the basis of Klenner-Otto’s engagement with Hoffmann and his characters. From this 21 st -century vantage point, the illustrator redefines the youthful hero and the beautiful heroine as middle aged and unprepossessing, the eccentric artist as disturbingly non-human, and the threatening ‘supernatural’ figure as a baleful member of the ‘real’ world. Klenner-Otto pays homage to Hoffmann through the intensely personal interpretation of his tales.
