Antiken-Rezeption als interkulturelles Phänomen

For the time being, research mostly ignores complex cross-cultural phenomena if they are not connected to the globalisation discourse. This contribution is meant to work against this one-sidedness and is dedicated to cross-cultural reference patters which are most of all of a literary-aesthetic and hermeneutics-theoretical nature. The focus is on the reception of antiquity which, since the aesthetic revolution of about 1800, can no longer be clearly considered the continuation of a line of tradition but, by way of a distancing attitude, becomes particularly interesting for a cross-cultural view.
