Anfangen. Zur Konstitutionsphase der Forschungsgruppe »Poetik und Hermeneutik«

The research group »Poetik und Hermeneutik« is frequently considered to have an exemplary status for other research groups and colloquiums. However, up to now there has been no detailed history of the beginnings of »Poetik und Hermeneutik« itself, which in turn casts its eye on role models, predecessors and founder constellations. The present article dares to make a first attempt at describing the manifold interweaving of institutional, personal and thematic connections that played a role in the group's founding, in order to not only present »Poetik und Hermeneutik« as a prospective model, but also classify its founding according to pre-existing structures.
