Stratigraphies of Knowledge. Archeological Poiesis and the Hermeneutics of (Post)Modernity

该研究项目调查了从1800年左右到现在的考古学诗学和诠释学的关系。史前考古学对文学研究特别感兴趣，因为它具有内在的解释学作用，并且是人类史前史的科学：解释过去的考古学策略，尤其是民族学的类比，使它首先成为世纪文学的热门话题，然后是1900年左右现代性理论中的一个争论性组成部分，最后是20世纪和21世纪世纪人文学科运作和项目的隐喻来源。重新定位的背景下，批判性地反映了解释学作为科学研究的基本特征。因此，可以研究三个层次的知识：第一，考古学中的解释学思维，因为它存在于人种学的类比中，作为一种基本的结论性操作，它植根于石器时代的发明，是考古学创造的典范，直到我们现在，特别是在考古学本身的方法论反思转向中，最重要。第二，考古学创造与知识文化的相关性：至少从19世纪世纪中期开始，民族学的类比推动了民族学作为理解欧洲史前史的辅助学科的兴起。特别是石器时代获得牵引力作为一个心灵景观，并生动地着色：文学治疗的dilemma，考古人员和研究认真对待生产性的文学力量：现代性的需求和主观性被投射回来，例如在流行的史前小说类型中，为了创造一种对奇怪和陌生的史前生活的理解，并作为自我的来源。这些石器时代的认知、解释和世界建构角色可以追溯到我们当代对古饮食和古人类学根源的性别、社会和行为模式的关注。最后，重点将放在考古学对解释学理论及其批评的作用上，即考古学如何被有效地用作隐喻的来源，主要源于其核心能力的重新认识，在2000年左右重新配置人文学科：发掘，遗迹，人工制品材料，最后是档案馆的运作都是重要的概念，与考古学的工具化的（反）解释学（后）现代性及其对作为认识对象的文化技术的转向。

The research project investigates the relationship of archeological poiesis and hermeneutics from around 1800 until the present. Prehistoric archeology is especially of interest for the study of literature because of its inherently hermeneutic operations and its standing as the science of human prehistory: The archeological strategies of interpreting the past, especially the ethnological analogy, render it first a popular topic of 19th century literature, then an argumentative component in theories of modernity around 1900 and finally a source of metaphors for the operations and projects of the humanities in the 20th and 21st century within the context of a reorientation that critically reflects hermeneutics as a fundamental trait of scientific study. Three layers of knowledge can therefore be investigated:First, hermeneutical thinking in archeology as it is present in the ethnological analogy, which as a basic conclusive operation is grounded in the invention of the stone age period, paradigmatic for archeological poiesis and most consequential up to our present time, especially in the methodological reflective turn in archeology itself.Secondly, the relevance of archeological poiesis for cultures of knowledge: At least from the middle of the 19th century on, the ethnological analogy drives the rise of ethnology as an ancillary discipline for the understanding of European prehistory. Especially the stone age gains traction as a mindscape and is colored in vividly: literary treatments of diggings, archeological personnel and research take the productive literary power seriously: modernity’s wants and subjectivities are projected back, for example within the popular genre of prehistoric fiction, in order to create an understanding of strange and alien prehistoric lives within and as a source for the self. These epistemic, explanatory and world building roles of the stone age can be traced right up to our contemporary preoccupation with paleo diets and paleoanthropologically rooted models of gender, society and behavior.Finally emphasis will be put on the role that archeology plays for hermeneutic theory and its critiques, that is, how archeology is productively used as a source of metaphor, mostly derived from a reconception of its core competences, for a reconfiguration of humanities around 2000: excavations, vestiges, artefacts, material and finally the workings of the archive are all notions important to the engagement with archeology's instrumentalization for the (anti-)hermeneutics of (post)modernity and its steering towards techniques of culture as epistemic objects.
