Raumkonfigurationen in Der Romantik (Schriften Der Internationalen Arnim-Gesellschaft)

by Walter Pape (Editor)

Around 1800 there is a new symbolisation and narration of ´internal spaces`, spiritual and psychic processes, states or relationships which do not lend themselves to direct observation. This volume focuses on the narrated ´real` spaces of Romanticism it deals with the cultural encoding of houses and rooms, castles and towers, but also of open spaces – the vastness of the sea, riverscapes and distant lands. The analyses are to be understood as a contribution within the currently proclaimed spatial or topographical turn to a new dimensioning of a complex of central importance for both narrative and representational techniques and for cultural anthropology.
