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

该项目的目的是准备对八位作者的完整作品进行详细研究，他们是Otto Flake (1880-1963), Salomon Grumbach (1884-1952), Bernd Isemann (1881-1967), Johannes Leonhardus （Hans Koch的笔名）（1881-1952），ren<s:1> Prévôt (1880-1955), ren<s:1> Schickele (1883-1940), Ernst Stadler（1883-1914）和Hermann Wendel(1884-1936)，他们于1901年聚集在斯特拉斯堡，形成了一个名为“Das jngste Elsaß”的团体。一方面，它展示了20世纪上半叶冲突最严重的边界之一，这对法国和德国的关系至关重要，是如何在50多年的时间里被阿尔萨斯文学的一部分以典范的方式感知、描述、绘制和讨论的，这部分文学在很大程度上仍未被探索和部分开发。另一方面，它描述了这个团体如何影响欧洲人对这条边界的争论，对它的研究提供了对欧洲文学辩论的起源和发展的一般见解的前景。其目的是在柏林和巴黎之间的文学地图上重新定位阿尔萨斯，并增加新的维度来研究阿尔萨斯文学史，区域文学及其概念化，边界文学作为真正的文学研究对边界研究的贡献，文学的欧洲及其话语历史，以及，尤其是法德文学关系。

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.
