Wissenschaften vom Imaginären: Sammeln, Sehen, Lesen und Experimentieren bei Roger Caillois und Elias Canetti
Book information
Description
Science and the imaginary are not mutually exclusive: Even scientific methods such as collecting and experimentation have an imaginary backside. In the works of Elias Canetti and Roger Caillois, which are situated between science and literature, the book traces an alternative conceptual tradition of the imaginary that undermines central dichotomies of 20th century thinking – nature/culture, identity/difference, fact/fiction.
