26 April 2020: Online workshop organized by the DFG-funded research group 2305 "Traditions of Genre and Emergence"
Workshop Traditions of Genre and Emergence
Date: Monday, 26 April 2020, 9.00–18.00.
In the last decades of literary and cultural research emergence has been established as a key concept for the designation and description of the appearance of the New. It hence seems evident/appropriate for the purpose of our research project to take a closer look at the operability of this concept. Of particular interest for us is the question if and how the phenomenon of emergence can be made productive regarding its relation between genre and the individual text on the one hand and the transformation of the generic structure on the other.
Together with our guests Markus Kersten, Christiane Reitz, Stefan Seeber, Katja Weidner, and Dirk Werle we examined different traditions of genre from the perspective of “emergence”. In each case, it was be necessary to look closely at the sense in which the term is used and what explanatory value is attributed to it.
The event was held online via Webex.
