Laboratory Weimar: Constellations in Culture, Politics, Society 1918 - 1933

我的研究项目将于2018年周年纪念年完成，目的是撰写一本关于魏玛共和国文化和文学的专著。这一独特的历史-文化研究整合了我对过去15年期间的研究成果，是对该领域研究的一个专题贡献。该项目首先发现，在过去的20年里，存在着关于魏玛共和国的各种历史文化研究，然而，尽管历史研究做出了贡献，但还没有从文化和文学研究的角度对德国历史上这一关键时代进行全面研究。20世纪60年代和70年代就有关于这一主题的研究，但最近的研究还没有；在德国的德国研究领域尚未就德国文化和文学史上这一关键时期做出贡献。这本专著一方面将概述那个时期的文化和文学。另一方面，它将产生新的推动力，特别是关于非同步现象的同时以及政治发展与文化现代化之间的差异；此外，魏玛时期将被评估为20世纪社会文化现代性的整体背景的一部分。

The aim of my research project, which is to be completed in the anniversary year 2018, is to work on a monograph on the culture and literature of the Weimar Republic. The distinctly historico-cultural study, which integrates findings from my research on the period from the past 15 years , is a topical contribution to the research in this field. The project starts off with the finding that there exists varied historico-cultural research on the Weimar Republic from the past two decades, yet, while there are contributions from history studies, there is no comprehensive study on this pivotal age in German history from the perspective of cultural and literary studies. There are studies from the 1960s and 1970s on the topic, yet a more recent study is missing; there has not yet been made a contribution on this crucial period in German cultural and literary history from the field of German studies in Germany. The monograph will, on the one hand, provide an overview of the culture and literature of that period. On the other hand, it will set new impulses, especially with regard to the phenomenon of the simultaneity of the non-simultaneous and with that, the differences between political development and cultural modernization; furthermore, the Weimar period will be assessed as part of the overall context of societal and cultural modernity in the 20th century.
