Work on Concepts. The History of Controversies within the Research Group Poetik und Hermeneutik (1966-1984)

本项目考察了研究小组POETIK UND HERMENEUTIK的工作，该小组是作为跨学科对话组织的，并希望在人文学科中引入一种新的实践形式。由于其跨学科的工作，包括国际讨论，该小组被认为是在很大程度上负责现代化的话语在德国在世纪后半叶的人文。该项目分析了研究小组的条件，工作形式和效果，以检查这种社区意见是否真正有效，并探讨其局限性在哪里。一个重要的先决条件是重读17卷会议论文与新提供的，广泛的档案材料，以发展作为人文研究的典范案例的诗歌和解释的历史。为了澄清理论利益如何与其制度框架以及更广泛的学术政治相关联，研究小组的工作将从四个方面进行审查。(1)以概念史的争论为例，该项目将探讨跨学科对话的条件，这些条件导致了理论上的新方向或未能这样做。(2)这是必不可少的个人网络，沟通标准和构成规则的分析，这项工作持续了30多年，确保该集团的杰出声誉。 (3)在这种情况下，该项目询问小组的研究过程及其结果如何与当代文学研究中的某些讨论有关，这些讨论基本上发生在国家文学的学科秩序中，这些秩序被20世纪60年代的大学改革所确认。一个特别的重点将是POETIK UND HERMENEUTIK成员和Zentralinstitut für Literaturgeschichte der Akademie der Wissenschaften der DDR [民主德国科学院文学史中央研究所]的文学学者之间的相互感知和交流的检查，只要该集团存在，就持续进行。该项目将探讨迄今未发表的材料是否支持该团体的观点，即该团体认为自己是一个使德国人文学科现代化的圈子，形成了一个有影响力的追随者学校，并引起了范式的转变。为了做到这一点，第一次，在广泛的出版和档案材料的支持下，对人文学科历史的基础研究将与现代科学研究方法联系起来，这些方法对文学研究和人文学科的有用性将通过一个具体的案例来检验。本文的研究结果将有助于对诗歌与阐释学的历史进行更深入的研究。

This project examines the work of the research group POETIK UND HERMENEUTIK, which was organized as an interdisciplinary dialog and wanted to introduce a new form of practice in the humanities. Because of its interdisciplinary work that includes the international discussion, the group is credited with being largely responsible for modernizing the discourse in the humanities in Germany in the second half of the twentieth century. The project analyzes the conditions, work forms, and effects of the research group in order to check whether this communis opinio is really valid, and to explore where its limits are. An essential precondition for this is the rereading of the 17 volumes of conference papers in connection with newly available, extensive archival materials to develop the history of POETIK UND HERMENEUTIK as an exemplary case for research in the humanities. In order to clarify how theoretical interests relate to their institutional framework as well as wider politics of scholarship, the work of the research group will be examined under four aspects.(1) Using the example of controversies about conceptual history, the project will look into the conditions of the interdisciplinary dialog that led to new directions in theoryor failed to do so. (2) Essential for this is the analysis of the personal networks, communicative standards, and the constitutive rules within which this work continued for more than 30 years, ensuring the groups outstanding reputation. (3) In this context, the project asks how the process of the groups research and its results relate to the contemporary discussion in literary studies at certain points, which basically took place within the disciplinary orders of the national literatures, orders that were confirmed by the university reforms of the 1960s. A special focus will be the examination of the mutual perception and exchange between members of POETIK UND HERMENEUTIK and literature scholars at the Zentralinstitut für Literaturgeschichte der Akademie der Wissenschaften der DDR [Central Institute of Literary History at the Academy of Sciences of the GDR], which took place continuously for as long as the group existed. The project will explore whether hitherto unpublished material supports the groups view of itself as a circle that modernized the humanities in Germany, formed an influential school of followers, and caused a paradigm shift.In order to do so, for the first time, basic research on the history of the humanities, supported by extensive published and archival material, will be linked with methods of modern science studies, and the usefulness of these methods for literary studies and the humanities in general will be tested against a concrete case. The results of this research will lead to a detailed study on the history of POETIK UND HERMENEUTIK.
