Vor dem Hintergrund der im 18. Jahrhundert erstmals manifest werdenden funktionalen Ausdifferenzierung der modernen Gesellschaft wird das Verhältnis zwischen Literatur und Wissenschaft an Beispielen aus dem französischen (Diderot, Rousseau, Balzac, Flaubert, Zola, Proust, Houellebecq), deutschsprachigen (Goethe, Freud, Musil), italienischen (Vico, Manzoni, Pirandello, Svevo, Calvino, Del Giudice) und spanischsprachigen Bereich (Pío Baroja, Borges, Cortázar, Volpi) untersucht. Dabei zeigt sich, dass es trotz der zunehmenden Trennung der Bereiche (die C. P. Snow auf die Formel der ,zwei Kulturen' gebracht hat) immer wieder zu poetologisch und epistemologisch aufschlussreichen Interferenzen von Literatur und Wissenschaft kommt. Während im 18. Jahrhundert literarische Texte noch einen Platz in der offiziellen Wissensordnung hatten, wächst im 19. Jahrhundert das Bewusstsein für die grundlegende Differenz der Bereiche. Aufgrund der Dominanz der Naturwissenschaften und des Positivismus versuchen literarische Texte seit Balzac sich durch die poetologische Funktionalisierung (natur-)wissenschaftlicher Modelle zu legitimieren. Im 20. Jahrhundert werden in der teilweise skeptischen Auseinandersetzung mit wissenschaftlichen Modellen die Grenzen der Literatur ausgelotet.

Since its origin, American literature has always had an uneasy relationship with science: born at a time when science was becoming a profession, it repeatedly referred to it, implicitly or explicitly, in order to assert its difference or, on the contrary, to gain a certain form of legitimacy. The purpose of this book is to show how scientific discourse informs literary writing, and to consider the relationship the two types of discourse have maintained: mutual metaphorization, questioning or ...

One of the most contentious questions in contemporary literary studies is whether there can ever be a science of literature that can lay claim to objectivity and universality, for example by concentrating on philological criticism, by appealing to cognitive science, or by exposing the underlying media of literary communication. The present collection of essays seeks to open up this discussion by posing the question's historical and systematic double: has there been a science of literature, i.e. a mode of presentation and practice of reference in science that owes its coherence to the discourse of literature? Detailed analyses of scientific, literary and philosophical texts show that from the late 18th to the late 19th century science and literature were bound to one another through an intricate web of mutual dependence and distinct yet incalculable difference. The Science of Literature suggests that this legacy continues to shape the relation between literary and scientific discourses inside and outside of academia.

The Theater of Experiment explores the crucial role of spectacle in the establishment of modern science. It analyzes eighteenth-century theatrical representations of science in order to demonstrate how experimental natural philosophy was itself a kind of performing art that was shaped by a wider culture of spectacle in the Enlightenment.

"The Diseased Brain and the Failing Mind charts changing cultural understandings of dementia and alzheimer's disease in scientific and cultural texts across the 20th Century. Reading a range of texts from the US, UK, Europe and Japan, the book examines how the language of dementia - regarding the loss of identity, loss of agency, loss of self and life - is rooted in scientific discourse and expressed in popular and literary texts. Following changing scientific understandings of dementia, the book also demonstrates how cultural expressions of the experience and dementia have fed back into the way medical institutions have treated dementia patients"--
