Tragiczna historia literatury – projekt (nie)szczęśliwy? Wokół koncepcji Waltera Muschga
Journal Title: Śląskie Studia Polonistyczne - Year 2014, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
The article is an attempt to find a formula, which would allow to look at the “history of literature” category through a new perspective – based on incongruence of current paradigms with challenges of modern literature science. The author, while not undermining the hitherto achievements in this area, attempts to show that it is still possible to construct a positive project, which would allow to describe the history of literature. In order to do so, she presents the works of Walter Muschg, a German-speaking researcher, especially his epochal Tragische Literaturgeschichte, in order to deliberate on the possibility of using the “tragedy” category in works on history of literature by replacing the widespread chronological order with a spiritual one, which would function above history. L’article est une tentative de trouver une formule permettant d’observer l’« histoire de la littérature » dans une autre perspective, en raison de l’inapplication des paradigmes employés jusqu’à présent aux défis s’imposant à la science de la littérature contemporaine. Sans chercher à contester l’héritage théorique dans ce domaine, l’auteure tient à prouver qu’il est toujours possible de construire un projet positif autorisant la description de l’histoire de la littérature. C’est pourquoi l’auteure rappelle les travaux du chercheur allemand Walter Muschg, notamment son oeuvre majeure, Histoire tragique de la Littérature, qui l’invite à envisager une possibilité d’employer la catégorie du « tragique » dans les travaux concernant l’histoire de la littérature, en remplaçant l’ordre chronologique par un ordre spirituel et transhistorique.
