This exploratory workshop is designed to investigate aspects of the legacy of the Romantic fragment in literary and philosophical discourses in English and German literature around 1900. Its aims are:
-To explore intellectual synergies between literary theory, aesthetic theory, art history and music-To identify thematic overlaps and differences in those respective disciplines-To consider cultural parameters around 1900 that suggested the fragment as a desired form of expression-To investigate matters of intentionality behind the fragment as a form of art-To consider examples in the reception of fragmentary works as well as the legacy of Romantic theory in this reception
