Abstract According to widespread prejudice, it was only about 1900 that the influence of society on literature became an important scholarly issue. On the contrary, it will be demonstrated that, since the beginnings of its literary history, the literature of the Middle Ages has been discussed within its social context. At the same time, it will be shown in this article that between 1895 and 1930 some exceptional figures, in particular, Paul Kluckhohn and Edward Schröder, though representing the intellectual atmosphere of their time, nonetheless contributed to the development of a method of correlating medieval society and literature that until today remains of more than historical interest.

Abstract In the first decades of the 20th century, literary studies in the history of ideas (Geistesgeschichte) experimented with sociological and socio-historical perspectives and concepts in search of a stable basis. In doing so, it reacts to the problems of historical-philological research that focuses on social aspects of literary change. In the competition for the sovereignty of interpretation, holistic(national, ethnic) concepts also prevail against empirical findings.

Abstract The article reconstructs Levin Ludwig Schücking’s History of Taste as a method of writing literary history. Moreover, it lays out, for the first time, the cultural and literary-political dimensions of his approach by considering the context of the history of literary studies comprehensively. The article demonstrates how Schücking refers to sociology in a twofold manner: as a way of scholarly thinking that is related to certain methodological techniques, and as a way to overcome the “crisis of modernity” manifested in the rift between authors and readers in literary life.

Abstract To define more precisely what “literary sociology” means around 1930 (and what it is capable of), the article looks at one particular encounter of sociological theory and literary material: the scholarship on the baroque. Particularly two traits of this specific form of literary sociology are brought into focus: its relation to the antipositivist “Geistesgeschichte” that precedes it and its role in delineating a new form of literary history that delimits the role of the author. Particular attention is given to the writings of the scholar Arnold Hirsch (1901–1954) because they offer a particularly sophisticated reflection of the forms and functions of literary sociology.

Abstract This paper explores the sociology of art as a subfield of disciplines other than sociology in the first few decades of the 20th century. Special attention is paid to the so-called “allgemeine Kunstwissenschaft” as a conceptional framework for the sociology of art, as described by Heinz Sauermann and René König. It is argued that notions of the artwork’s aesthetic properties, traditionally subject to philosophical aesthetics, co-determine the scope and range of sociological approaches to art. This is also the case with the sociology of literature.

Abstract This article focuses on Karl Viëtor’s (1892–1951) literary-sociological oriented Baroque research and follows its development up to a generalized literary-sociological research program. Viëtor defines his stance on the sociology of literature by distancing himself from two strands of thought: on the one hand, from different versions of “Geistesgeschichte” (represented e. g. by Fritz Strich, Oskar Walzel, or Emil Ermatinger), and, on the other hand, from various materialistic positions based on the base/superstructure-model (such as those by Franz Mehring or Karl August Wittfogel). First, I will examine Viëtor’s unpublished lecture History of German Literature in the Age of Baroque (Geschichte der deutschen Literatur im Zeitalter des Barock, 1922/1923 until 1937), which is his repository for his baroque publications in the 1920 s, that also inspired in-depth research conducted by his students. Secondly, I will analyze Viëtor’s Program of a Sociology of Literature (Programm einer Literatursoziologie, 1934), a critical examination of relevant contributions by Erich Rothacker and others, both from bourgeois and Marxist backgrounds. In this text, Viëtor outlines the sociology of literature in two ways: as a sociology of literary life and as a sociology of literary works.
本文主要关注卡尔Viëtor(1892-1951)以文学社会学为导向的巴洛克研究,并跟踪其发展到一个广义的文学社会学研究计划。Viëtor通过远离两种思想来定义他在文学社会学上的立场:一方面,远离不同版本的“Geistesgeschichte”(如弗里茨·施特里希、奥斯卡·瓦尔泽尔或埃米尔·埃尔马廷格),另一方面,远离基于基础/上层建筑模型的各种唯物主义立场(如弗朗茨·梅林或卡尔·奥古斯特·维特福格尔)。首先,我将检查Viëtor未发表的讲座《巴洛克时代的德国文学史》(Geschichte der deutschen Literature im Zeitalter des Barock, 1922/1923至1937年),这是他在20世纪20年代巴洛克出版物的仓库,也激发了他的学生进行的深入研究。其次,我将分析Viëtor的《文学社会学纲领》(Programm einer Literatursoziologie, 1934),这是对埃里希·罗萨克(Erich Rothacker)等人在资产阶级和马克思主义背景下的相关贡献的批判性考察。在本文中,Viëtor从两个方面概述了文学社会学:作为文学生活的社会学和作为文学作品的社会学。
