The Hartlaub family - Perception of history and aesthetic concepts in the early 20th century

科学项目处理文学和文化在20世纪初世纪将审查历史的看法和发展的科学以及美学项目在一个历史时期标志着灾难。它将专注于一个被文化科学研究忽视的重要家庭的分歧但相互关联的观点和著作：艺术历史学家古斯塔夫·弗里德里希·哈特劳布的家庭，他的妻子费利西，他是一名记者，他们的两个孩子，历史学家兼作家费利克斯·哈特劳布和作家吉诺·哈特劳布。该项目假设1933年至1945年之间的历史代表了美学概念和科学研究的历史先验。该项目将证明，对历史的批判性反思是这个家庭和魏玛共和国后期知识分子（哲学家，美学家，艺术史学家，作家和特写作家：阿比瓦尔堡，古斯塔夫拉德布鲁赫，西奥多W。阿多诺和其他更多）。它将研究这些迄今为止完全被忽视的星座。它将侧重于有关忧郁、炼金术和魔法的科学和美学概念，但也将侧重于在1933年前后的印象下，这些概念的修改和变化，正如本小组所讨论的那样。将文学史与思想史结合起来，发现和描述独特的美学观念。该项目将1933年至1945年的时代嵌入更广泛的时间段：1928年至1958年。

The scientific project dealing with literature and culture in the early 20th century will examine the perception of history and the development of scientific as well as aesthetic projects in a historical period marked by catastrophes. It will focus on the diverging but interconnected views and writings of an important family who have been neglected by cultural-scientific research: the family of Gustav Friedrich Hartlaub, an art-historian, his wife Félicie, who worked as a journalist, and their two children, the historian and writer Felix Hartlaub and the writer Geno Hartlaub. The project assumes that history between 1933 and 1945 represents the historical a priori of aesthetic concepts as well as of scientific research. The project will prove that the critical reflection of history was central for this family and some acquainted circles of intellectuals of the late Weimar Republic (philosophers, aestheticians, art-historians, writers and feature writers: Aby Warburg, Gustav Radbruch, Theodor W. Adorno and others more). It will examine these constellations which have been totally neglected so far. It will focus on scientific and aesthetic concepts concerning melancholy, alchemy and magic, but also on their modifications and changes under the impressions of the years before and after 1933 as they were discussed in this group. History of literature and history of ideas will be combined in order to discover and describe unique aesthetic concepts. The project embeds the era from 1933 to 1945 in a broader period of time: from 1928 to 1958.
