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.

Ce livre présente, de façon systématique, le renouveau qu'ont connu l'histoire et l'étude des sciences (les Science Studies) depuis trente ans. Mettant en garde contre les batailles faciles et de peu d'intérêt entre " rationalistes " et " relativistes ", Dominique Pestre nous introduit à la complexité des problèmes qui ont été soulevés et qui restent sans solutions simples. Montrant en quoi ce renouveau n'est pas propre à l'histoire et à l'étude des sciences, mais qu'il est vrai de l'ensemble des sciences sociales, il en étudie les conséquences. En termes épistémologiques, en revenant sur les grands classiques; en termes économiques et sociaux, en analysant les intrications profondes entre les sciences, les techniques et les pouvoirs; en termes historiques, en parlant de régime de production et de régulation des sciences en société; en termes politiques, enfin, en revenant sur les débats contemporains autour des techno-sciences et de leurs effets.

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.
