Expected Heroes: Heroic Waiting in German Literature of the Early 20th Century (D06 [B08])

该项目致力于“英雄等待”的星座，即一方面是等待本身的英雄化，另一方面是弥赛亚期望的投射。这种关系将在类型学的帮助下系统地表征，并在1900年至1939年之间的德国文学历史研究中加以区分。特别强调的将首先放在文学等待场景中英雄代理的反映上，其次是坚持不懈的英雄化对现代新时代制度的反应程度的问题，第三是英雄作为反映现在的一种手段的功能。

The project is dedicated to the constellation of 'heroic waiting', namely the heroization of waiting itself on the one hand and the projection of messianic expectations on the other. This relationship will be characterized systematically with the help of a typology and differentiated in historical studies on German literature between 1900 and 1939. Special emphasis will be placed first on the reflection of heroic agency in literary waiting scenes, second on the question of the extent to which heroizations of perseverance react to the new temporal regimes of the modern age, and third on the function of the heroic as a means of reflecting on the present.
