Currentness. On the history of references to the present in German Literature and the temporalization of the present around 1800

该项目的主要目标是实现对1770年至1835年发生的“现在”时间化的话语过程、其与当代文学史的相关性及其理论基础的全面研究。“现在”的意义发生了变化，这一发现有待于从1800年前后可以研究的时间反映中加以验证。媒体和话语的历史背景，这种时间化的“现在”是要检查，以及建立的生物术语的时间（青年，一代），发生在1800年左右。两者都面临着文学对当下的反思和实践。到目前为止，既没有分析这个术语的历史发展和“现在”的语义学，也没有-在这种观点下-一个理论和文学参考现在的历史被写下来。但文学的时代性及其理论基础的反映是1770年以来现代文学的一部分。特别要研究的时期：1770年，1795/1800年，1806/1813年和1830/1835年。

The main target of the project is to realize a comprehensive research of the discursive process of temporalization of 'the present' taking place between 1770 and 1835, its relevance for a history of contemporary references in literature, and its theoretical basis. The finding of a shift of meaning of 'the present' is to be verified in view of the reflection of time that can be studied around 1800. The media- and discourse-historical background of this temporalization of 'the present' is to be examined as well as the establishment of biological terms of time (youth, generation) that occurs around 1800. Both are to be confronted with the reflection and the practice of literary references to the present. To this date, neither has the historical development of the term and the semantics of 'the present' been analyzed nor - in this view - a theory and a history of literary references to the present been written. But the reflection of the currentness of literature and its theoretical basis is part of modern literature since 1770. Periods that are to be studied especially: 1770, 1795/1800, 1806/1813 and 1830/1835.
