PhD Project

Revolution and science - romantic ideals in the works of Andrei Platonov (WT)

The dissertation project is dedicated to the works of the Russian author Andrej Platonov (1899-1951) and examines it on the basis of an understanding of romanticism that is derived from the concept of romanticism as a continous phenomenon in modern societies. The question arises as to what extent and why a romantic poetic figure is present in Platonov's texts. The presence of a romantic utopian striving for a ‘golden age’ and its failure to achieve it could be seen as a plausible reaction to the radical changes that came with the Russian Revolution 1917 and the process of socialist construction. Taking particular account of the themes ‘Romanticism and sciences’ and ‘Romanticism and politics’, Platonov's works are brought into closer contact with early Romantic poetics, especially that of Friedrich von Hardenberg, and its specific interweaving of art, (moral) philosophy and science for the first time.
