Gegengeselligkeit

Abstract
The present article focuses on the opening song Frischauf, ihr Klosterbrüder mein of the collection Studentenschmaus (‘Student Feast’) by Johann Hermann Schein (1626). The song is analyzed in form and content, and then interpreted as an example of ‘meta-sociability’, i.e. sociability is its message as well as its medium. By following the intertextual allusions to the humanistic satire Epistolae virorum obscurorum, and other references, it is shown that the ‘meta-sociability’ in Schein’s song is directed against other forms of sociability and can therefore be understood as ‘counter-sociability’.
