Literary Meteorology. Knowledge, Practice, and Aesthetics of Weather 1750-2013

DFG资助的项目“文学气象学”声称揭示天气是现代文化的主要关注点。它由两部分组成：关于雪的文学和研究史的历时性研究（b<s:1>特纳）和关于阿德伯特·斯蒂特（甘珀）时代气象学的一系列文章。在项目开展过程中，出现了几个不可预见的障碍：气象研究的历史必须在更大程度上从历史原始资料中重建。此外，文学与天气的互动方式也远远超出了人们的预期。概念化这大大增加了主题的复杂性，需要在理论和方法上加强研究框架。这就是为什么这个项目还没有完成的原因。再过一年，这个项目就会结束，完全满足最初的要求。

The DFG funded project »Literary Meteorology« claims to disclose weather as being a major concern of modern culture. It consists of two parts: A diachronic study about the literary and research history of snow (Büttner) and a series of articles on the meteorology in the time of Adalbert Stifter (Gamper). During the work on the project, several unforeseeable obstacles occurred: The history of meteorological research had to be reconstructed to a significant greater extent from historical source material. Furthermore, the manifold ways literature engages with weather exceeded the expectations by far. Conceptualizing this considerably increased complexity of the topic demanded theoretical and methodological enhancement of the research framework. This is the reason why the project has not yet been completed. Within one further year the project could be brought to an end fulfilling entirely its original claim.
