Der Band unternimmt eine theoretisch-methodologische Grundlegung der Beziehungen zwischen Literatur und Naturwissenschaft. Er verbindet kultursemiotische, narratologische und wissenschaftsphilosophische Ansätze und erweitert die Bandbreite vorliegender Perspektiven zum Konnex 'Literatur und Wissenschaft' um einen neuen Zugang: den der zeichen- und erzähltheoretisch informierten und physiktheoretisch refl ektierten Interformation. Untersucht werden Texte von E.T.A. Hoffmann bis Durs Grünbein, von Johannes Kepler bis Albert Einstein. This volume establishes theoretical and methodological principles on the relationship between literature and science. It combines approaches from the fields of cultural semiotics, narratology, and the philosophy of science, and supplements the range of existing approaches toward the nexus of literature and knowledge with a new approach, that of interformation, informed by semiotic and narrative theory, and reflecting on the theory of physics.

Fragen und Antworten der Hirnforschung, Quantenmechanik oder Evolutionstheorie gehen in Romane ein, und Physiker oder Biologen verwenden rhetorische Sprachbilder, um ihre Erkenntnisse zu vermitteln oder sogar erst zu generieren. Dass literarische und wissenschaftliche Interessen sich nicht nur überschneiden, sondern im Kern eins sind, das war zu Keplers, Lichtenbergs oder Goethes Zeiten noch selbstverständlich. Sie wieder allgemein so sichtbar zu machen, wie sie es für zahlreiche Autoren der Gegenwartsliteratur - etwa Richard Powers, Thomas Lehr oder Raoul Schrott - stets geblieben ist, daran arbeiten in einer ungewöhnlichen Kooperation die Erlanger Departments für Physik und für Germanistik im Forschungszentrum ELINAS. Die Beiträge der Reihe widmen sich einerseits naturwissenschaftlichen Themen in literarischen Texten - etwa in Romanen des Amerikaners Richard Powers, der Chinesin Can Hue oder des Deutschen Raoul Schrott. Sie beleuchten andererseits aber auch, welche Rolle Ästhetik in Literatur und Naturwissenschaften spielt.

Physics and Literature is a unique collaboration between physicists, literary scholars, and philosophers, the first collection of essays to examine together how science and literature, beneath their practical differences, share core dimensions - forms of questioning, thinking, discovering and communicating insights.This book advances an in-depth exploration of relations between physics and literature from both perspectives. It turns around the tendency to discuss relations between literature and science in one-sided and polarizing ways. The collection is the result of the inaugural conference of ELINAS, the Erlangen Center for Literature and Natural Science, an initiative dedicated to building bridges between literary and scientific research. ELINAS revitalizes discussion of science-literature interconnections with new topics, ideas and angles, by organizing genuine dialogue among participants across disciplinary lines.The essays explore how scientific thought and practices are conditioned by narrative and genre, fiction, models and metaphors, and how science in turn feeds into the meaning-making of literary and philosophical texts. These interdisciplinary encounters enrich reflections on epistemology, cognition and aesthetics.

Many writers deal intensively with the knowledge of physics that shapes the worldview, often ignored by literary criticism and science. Their reasons are as varied as the books they write. Letting them have their say in interviews enriches the discourse about the two cultures with a voice that knows both: literature and physics. We encounter physics in all areas of life; Starting with devices in the engineered civilization, over the description of phenomena in nature up to the fundamental understanding of the world, which has become different through quantum and relativity theory. It is therefore not surprising that writers use physical knowledge to tell about people and the world in which they live. Experimental literature and metaphors in physical theories are just two subjects that come up in the interviews with Ulrike Draesner, Durs Grünbein, Michael Hampe, Jens Harder, Reinhard Jirgl, Thomas Lehr, Ulrich Woelk and Juli Zeh. Everyone agrees that physics and literature are two ways of knowing the world that complement and condition each other.
