Currentness. On the history of references to the present in German Literature and the temporalization of the present around 1800

该项目的主要目标是实现对发生在1770年至1835年之间的“现在”的时间化的话语过程的全面研究，其与当代文学参考史的相关性及其理论基础。“现在”的意义发生了变化，这一发现将在1800年左右的时间反射中得到验证。“现在”的这种时间化的媒介和话语历史背景，以及发生在1800年左右的时间（青年，世代）的生物学术语的建立，都将被检查。两者都要面对对现在的文学参考的反思和实践。到目前为止，既没有人分析过这个词的历史发展和“现在”的语义，也没有人写过关于“现在”的文学参考的理论和历史。但文学的时代性及其理论基础的反映是1770年以来现代文学的一部分。特别要研究的时期：1770年、1795/1800年、1806/1813年和1830/1835年。

The main target of the project is to realize a comprehensive research of the discursive process of temporalization of 'the present' taking place between 1770 and 1835, its relevance for a history of contemporary references in literature, and its theoretical basis. The finding of a shift of meaning of 'the present' is to be verified in view of the reflection of time that can be studied around 1800. The media- and discourse-historical background of this temporalization of 'the present' is to be examined as well as the establishment of biological terms of time (youth, generation) that occurs around 1800. Both are to be confronted with the reflection and the practice of literary references to the present. To this date, neither has the historical development of the term and the semantics of 'the present' been analyzed nor - in this view - a theory and a history of literary references to the present been written. But the reflection of the currentness of literature and its theoretical basis is part of modern literature since 1770. Periods that are to be studied especially: 1770, 1795/1800, 1806/1813 and 1830/1835.
