ars et natura: Pliny’s micronarratives reflecting on art in the context of the Naturalis Historia (B01)

该项目与老普林尼的“自然史”（Naturalis Historia）有关。他将艺术视为金属、石头和土壤中自然不可分割的一部分，也将其视为反映艺术的微故事（轶事等）。CRC的方法允许在它们彼此的关系中观察这两个方面：微叙事将作为反思的人物来探索，帮助我们认识到自然史和美学话语之间的相互依赖性。这将表明，不仅关于自然的知识历史是有争议的，而且艺术在自然中的地位以及自然史在文学领域的地位也是有争议的。该项目以创新的方式将专业文本整合到美学话语中，为CRC的研究议程做出了贡献。

The project is concerned with the 'natural history' (Naturalis Historia) of Pliny the Elder. He treats the arts both as an integral part of nature among metals, stones and soils as well as in micronarratives (anecdotes etc.) reflecting on art. The approach of the CRC allows for viewing both aspects in their relatedness to each other: The micronarratives will be explored as figures of reflection that help us recognize the interdependencies between discourses of natural history and aesthetics. This will show that not only the history of knowledge concerning nature is at issue but also the place of the arts in nature as well as that of the Naturalis Historia in the field of literature. The project contributes to the research agenda of the CRC by integrating specialist texts into the aesthetic discourse in an innovative manner.
