Since the 1990s, following the end of postmodernism, literary theory has lost much of its dynamics. This book aims at revitalising literary theory exploring two of its historical bases: German poetics and aesthetics. Beginning in the 1770s and ending in the 1950s, the book examines nearly 200 years of this history, thereby providing the reader with a first history of poetics as well as with bibliographies of the subject. Particular attention is paid to the aesthetics and poetics of popular philosophy, of the Hegel-school, empirical and psychological tendencies in the field since the 1860s, the first steps towards a plurality of methods (1890–1930), theoretical confrontations during the Naz...
Designed to reform contemporary British society, Joseph Addison and Richard Steele’s The Tatler (1709-1711) and The Spectator (1711-1712, 1714) rely heavily on the representation of contemporary manners. In shaping such behavioural images, the authors made use of the satirical character sketch. Their character sketches (re)create social interactions between fictionalised representatives of moral types of men and women located in contemporary London. This study examines how Addison and Steele employed the character sketch to create a ‘cosmography’ of (wo)man by actively engaging with the observational approaches of contemporary naturalists. Addison and Steele adapted distinctly empirica...

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Neuere Deutsche Literatur, Note: 1,3, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (Institut für deutsche Literatur), Veranstaltung: Regeln der Simulation. Fiktionalitätstheorien., Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Goethes letzter Text seiner "Unterhaltungen deutscher Ausgewanderten", "Das Märchen", 1795 publiziert, lässt sich aufgrund seines wahrhaft märchenhaften Inhalts unschwer als fiktional identifizieren: Eine sprechende Schlange verwandelt sich in eine Brücke, ein Mops in einen Edelstein und ein Riese in eine große Säule – aber wie ist es um das Verhältnis dieses zweifelsfrei fiktionalen Textes zur Realität bestellt?
