Description
The linguae& litterae series, edited by Peter Auer, Gesa von Essen and Werner Frick, documents the research activities of the School of Languageand Literature of the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (FRIAS). These research activities in literary studies and linguistics are characterized by an approach that is theoretically and methodologically "state of the art" and interdisciplinarily open.
In linguistics the accent is on the corpus-based, quantitative and qualitative investigation of language; in literary studies the focus is on the comparative, transdisciplinary analysis of literary phenomena in their cultural contexts. At the same time the series deals with the productive interfaces and synergies between modern linguistics and literary studies (as well as the humanities, social and natural sciences with which they interact). It seeks a new, contemporary reformulation of the humanities research curriculum and its problem and concept orientation for the future.
The series has a clear international orientation - each volume is multilingual, containing German, English and French contributions and, depending on the volume, articles in Italian or Spanish as well. Each individual volume is peer reviewed by an international editorial board.
Each year 2-4 volumes are published.
Goethe wrote Faust II and Wilhelm Meister's Journeyman Years over a period of decades. Both works thematize the beginning of the 19th century as an epochal shift marking the end of century-old traditions and the advent of modernity. Especially the Journeyman Years , the novel of Goethe's old age, shows how 'the new' was manifested as the universal utilitarization of all areas of reality. This study interprets the novel as medium of reflection that integrates the knowledge of the present and past, in order to present it in the protagonists' actions and experience as a means of 'beholding understanding'.

"Das Moderne besteht nicht nur in einer gegenüber den Lehrjahren grundlegend veränderten Erzählweise, die die unterschiedlichen narrativen Formen kunstvoll zu verbinden sucht, sondern auch in der selbstreflexiven Reaktion auf den folgenreichen Übergang von der ständischen zur funktionsorientierten Gesellschaft. Um diesen komplexen Übergang geht es dem Verf. in seiner auf eigene Arbeiten und zahlreiche vorliegenden Literatur aufbauenden, ebenso gründlichen wie diffenrenzierten Darstellung."
Wilhelm Voßkamp in: Germanistik Redaktion 2011, Band 52, Heft 1-2
