Büchner’s Animals: A Bestiary

在b<s:1>奇纳的简短作品中，有很多动物被发现。书中明确提到动物的次数接近250次，总共提到了100种不同的动物。这些动物使一个同时连贯和分化的问题领域与b<s:1>奇纳尔的工作联系在一起，其中人类学，政治理论，物种政治和美学的元素相遇：通过这些动物，b<s:1>奇纳尔的文本反映了人类的不安全地位，社会等级的暴力机制以及生物及其美学的政治化-特别是怪诞-舞台。b<e:1>奇纳并没有把这些问题作为一个详尽的理论来提出，而是把它们分散在他的文学文本中各种各样的动物术语和物种中。计划中的项目旨在将这些分散的暗示收集到一个综合研究中，然而，通过这样做，对b<s:1> chner提到的每一种特定动物都给予适当的关注。动物词典的格式旨在实现这种多样性统一的概念，在b<e:1>奇纳的作品中发现的动物在83个条目中被单独解释，从A wie Affe（英文：A for Ape）到Z wie zweif<e:2>; ler（英文：两足动物），并汇集在一个专著中，试图完整。这项事业一方面是锚定在b<s:1> chner研究领域内。通过这种方式，它与马尔堡b<s:1> chner Ausgabe （MBA 2000-2013）的注释传统以及过去20年内出现的b<s:1> chner的文化研究和认识论研究方法联系在一起。另一方面，这项工作是在文化和文学动物研究的框架内进行的。通过这种方式，它与一种新的研究范式联系在一起，这种范式在过去10年里以自己的特定话语和一套理论和方法建立起来。因此，拟议的项目最终旨在将两个截然不同的领域结合在一起：作者研究和动物研究。该项目可以综合利用PI以前的研究成果。关于b<s:1>奇纳尔，除其他外，有一本手册、一本专著、一本文集和15篇论文可供使用，关于动物研究，有一本手册、三本文集和83篇论文，其中五篇特别关注格奥尔格·贝<e:1>奇纳尔作品中的动物。在这五篇论文中，以及三个学期的报告和演讲手稿中，83个计划条目中的42个已经起草；其余41个参赛作品的准备工作（研究、论证）已经完成。

In Büchner’s short work there are remarkably many animals to be found. Animals are mentioned explicitly nearly 250 times, with altogether one hundred different animal species being mentioned. These animals enable a simultaneously coherent and differentiated field of questions to be bound to Büchner’s work, in which elements of anthropology, political theory, Species Politics and aesthetics meet: Through these animals Büchner’s texts reflect on the insecure position of the human, the violent mechanisms of social hierarchies and the politicisation of the biological and its aesthetic - in particular, grotesque - stagings. Büchner does not present these questions as an elaborate theory, rather scatters them throughout his varied animal terms and species within his literary texts. The intended project aims to collect these scattered insinuations within one integrative study, yet by so doing dedicate suitable attention to each of Büchner’s particular animal mentions. The format of the Bestiary aims towards this concept of unity in variety, with the animals found in Büchner’s works to be individually interpreted across in 83 entries from A wie Affe (Eng: A for Ape) to Z wie Zweifüßler (Eng: Bipeds) and brought together within a monograph in an attempt at completeness. This undertaking is on one hand anchored within the field of Büchner research. In this way it is linked to the tradition of annotation of the Marburger Büchner Ausgabe (MBA 2000-2013) as well as to the cultural studies and epistemological studies approaches to Büchner that have emerged within the last 20 years. On the other hand, the undertaking is situated within the framework of Cultural and Literary Animal Studies. In this way it is linked to a new research paradigm which established itself with its own specific discourse and set of theories and methods within the last 10 years. Thus, the proposed project ultimately aims towards bringing together two otherwise widely differentiated fields: Author studies and Animal Studies. The project can make use of a comprehensive body of previous research of the PI. With regards to Büchner, there are, among others a handbook, a monograph, a collected volume and 15 essays to make use of, and with regards to Animal Studies a handbook, three collected volumes and 83 essays of which five have a special focus of animals in the works of Georg Büchner. In these five essays, as well as in presentations and lecture scripts from three semesters, 42 of the 83 planned entries have already been drafted; the preparatory work (research, argumentation) for the remaining 41 entries is already complete.
