Section IV: Art, Theatre, Literature, Music, Culture

Workshop:

Scientific and Non-Scientific Discourses in Modern “Literaturwissenschaft 

 

Chair: Mark Gelber

 

This session aims to explore modern and contemporary “Literaturwissenschaft,” the “scientific” study of literature and literary culture, from the point of view of its utilization of scientific (and non-scientific) discourses. While papers should focus on recent developments characteristic of twentieth and twenty-first century European scholarship, papers which analyze aspects of the tradition from pre-modern periods (going back to the classical age, Plato, Aristotle, etc.) are also welcome, insofar as they provide points of departure, contrast, and background for the discussion of contemporary tendencies. Papers which focus on issues related to “Literaturwissenschaft” and psychoanalytic criticism, formalism, structuralism, phenomenological criticism, post-structuralism, new historicism, feminism and gender criticism, and post-colonialism are especially welcome.
