The Group "Das jüngste Elsaß" - Border Literatures and their European Openings

该项目旨在对奥托·弗莱克(1880-1963)、所罗门·格兰巴赫(1884-1952)、贝恩德·伊斯曼(1881-1967)、约翰尼斯·莱昂哈德斯(化名汉斯·科赫)(1881-1952)、勒内·普雷沃特(1880-1955年)、勒内·希克勒(1883-1940年)、恩斯特·斯塔德勒(1883-1914)和赫尔曼·温德尔(1884-1936)这八位作家的全部作品进行详细研究，他们于1901年在斯特拉斯堡成立了一个名为“Das jünste Elsaé”的团体。一方面，它展示了20世纪上半叶冲突最多的边界之一是如何被阿尔萨斯文学的一部分以模范的方式看待、描述、绘制和讨论的，这一边界对法德关系至关重要，长达50多年，但大部分仍未探索，部分仍未开发。另一方面，它描述了该学派如何在这一边界之争中影响欧洲的思想，通过对这一问题的考察，可以对文学中关于欧洲的辩论的起源和发展提供大致的见解。其目的是重新定位阿尔萨斯在柏林和巴黎之间的文学地图上，并为阿尔萨斯文学史、地区文学及其概念化、边境文学作为真正的文学研究贡献于边境研究、欧洲文学及其论述史，以及尤其是法德文学关系的研究增添新的维度。

The aim of the project is to prepare a detailed study of the complete works of the eight authors, Otto Flake (1880–1963), Salomon Grumbach (1884–1952), Bernd Isemann (1881–1967), Johannes Leonhardus (pseudonym of Hans Koch) (1881–1952), René Prévôt (1880–1955), René Schickele (1883–1940), Ernst Stadler (1883–1914) and Hermann Wendel (1884–1936), who came together in Strasbourg in 1901 to form the group called "Das jüngste Elsaß". On the one hand, it shows how one of the most conflict-ridden borders in the first half of the 20th century, which was of crucial importance for relations between France and Germany, was perceived, described, mapped and discussed in exemplary manner for a period of over 50 years by a section of Alsatian literature which is still largely unexplored and partly untapped. On the other hand, it describes how the group influenced European thinking in the dispute over this border, an examination of which offers the prospect of general insights into the origins and development of debates on Europe in literature. The intention is to reposition Alsace on the literary map between Berlin and Paris and to add new dimensions to research into Alsatian literary history, regional literatures and their conceptualisations, border literatures as a genuine literary studies contribution to border studies, the Europe of literature and its discursive history, and, not least, Franco-German literary relations.
