Literature and Integrity

Gesprächsleitung: Jan Niklas Howe

The panel investigates the problematic role of integrity in poetic conceptions of subjectivity. From Greek tragedy to postmodern novel, literature privileges constellations in which integrity remains unrequited. This may point to either an aesthetics of integrity or an implicit ethics of literature; the panel addresses both options with examples from literary history.
