Long abstractThis essay shows how the “dual crisis” of modernity and its accompanying twofold topology of interiority and exteriority have been reflected upon and tackled in modern literature. In my reading of Peter Waterhouse’s “Das Klangtal” (“The Sound Valley,” 2003), I show that modern literature can be a medium through which we can re-sensualize our language and educate our corporeal responsiveness to our own naturalness. Based on a conversation between Waterhouse’s “Klangtal,” Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s “[Lord] Chandos letter” (1902) and Gernot Böhme’s ecological aesthetics, I argue for an ecocritical approach that helps us experience and intensify the sensuality of language. This approach also calls on us to educate our senses to the effect that we learn to be responsive to the nature that we ourselves are.
