    Issues and insights from the fields of brain research, quantum mechanics, and evolutionary theory have passed into novels, and physicists and biologists often use rhetorical metaphors to communicate and even evoke their discoveries. The essays in this volume examine natural scientific themes in literary texts - such as the novels of Richard Powers, Can Hue, and Raoul Schrott - and the use of rhetoric and metaphor in the natural sciences.

    Lucinda Cole's Imperfect Creatures offers the first full-length study of the shifting, unstable, but foundational status of "vermin" as creatures and category in the early modern literary, scientific, and political imagination. In the space between theology and an emergent empiricism, Cole's argument engages a wide historical swath of canonical early modern literary texts--William Shakespeare's Macbeth, Christopher Marlowe's The Jew of Malta, Abraham Cowley's The Plagues of Egypt, Thomas Shadwell's The Virtuoso, the Earl of Rochester's "A Ramble in St. James's Park," and Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe and Journal of the Plague Year--alongside other nonliterary primary sources and under-examined archival materials from the period, including treatises on animal trials, grain shortages, rabies, and comparative neuroanatomy. As Cole illustrates, human health and demographic problems--notably those of feeding populations periodically stricken by hunger, disease, and famine--were tied to larger questions about food supplies, property laws, national identity, and the theological imperatives that underwrote humankind's claim to dominion over the animal kingdom. In this context, Cole's study indicates, so-called "vermin" occupied liminal spaces between subject and object, nature and animal, animal and the devil, the devil and disease--even reason and madness. This verminous discourse formed a foundational category used to carve out humankind's relationship to an unpredictable, irrational natural world, but it evolved into a form for thinking about not merely animals but anything that threatened the health of the body politic--humans, animals, and even thoughts

    Science on Stage is the first full-length study of the phenomenon of "science plays"--theatrical events that weave scientific content into the plot lines of the drama. The book investigates the tradition of science on the stage from the Renaissance to the present, focusing in particular on the current wave of science playwriting. Drawing on extensive interviews with playwrights and directors, Kirsten Shepherd-Barr discusses such works as Michael Frayn's Copenhagen and Tom Stoppard's Arcadia. She asks questions such as, What accounts for the surge of interest in putting science on the stage? What areas of science seem most popular with playwrights, and why? How has the tradition evolved throughout the centuries? What currents are defining it now? And what are some of the debates and controversies surrounding the use of science on stage? Organized by scientific themes, the book examines selected contemporary plays that represent a merging of theatrical form and scientific content--plays in which the science is literally enacted through the structure and performance of the play. Beginning with a discussion of Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus, the book traces the history of how scientific ideas (quantum mechanics and fractals, for example) are dealt with in theatrical presentations. It discusses the relationship of science to society, the role of science in our lives, the complicated ethical considerations of science, and the accuracy of the portrayal of science in the dramatic context. The final chapter looks at some of the most recent and exciting developments in science playwriting that are taking the genre in innovative directions and challenging the audience's expectations of a science play. The book includes a comprehensive annotated list of four centuries of science plays, which will be useful for teachers, students, and general readers alike.

    Representations of the mind have a central place in Shakespeare’s artistic imagination, as we see in Bottom struggling to articulate his dream, Macbeth reaching for a dagger that is not there, and Prospero humbling his enemies with spectacular illusions. Phantasmatic Shakespeare examines the intersection between early modern literature and early modern understandings of the mind’s ability to perceive and imagine. Suparna Roychoudhury argues that Shakespeare’s portrayal of the imagination participates in sixteenth-century psychological discourse and reflects also how fields of anatomy, medicine, mathematics, and natural history jolted and reshaped conceptions of mentality. Although the new sciences did not displace the older psychology of phantasms, they inflected how Renaissance natural philosophers and physicians thought and wrote about the brain’s image-making faculty. The many hallucinations, illusions, and dreams scattered throughout Shakespeare’s works exploit this epistemological ferment, deriving their complexity from the ambiguities raised by early modern science.Phantasmatic Shakespeare considers aspects of imagination that were destabilized during Shakespeare’s period—its place in the brain; its legitimacy as a form of knowledge; its pathologies; its relation to matter, light, and nature—reading these in concert with canonical works such as King Lear, Macbeth, and The Tempest. Shakespeare, Roychoudhury shows, was influenced by paradigmatic epistemic shifts of his time, and he in turn demonstrated how the mysteries of cognition could be the subject of powerful art.

    Die Auseinandersetzung mit den Wissenschaften ist für das Werk von Novalis konstitutiv gewesen. Kaum ein zweiter Autor der Klassik und Romantik hat sich so intensiv und kompetent mit dem zeitgenössischen Kenntnisstand und den Strukturmustern der Wissensorganisation befaßt. Der Band enthält die Vorträge der 1. Fachtagung der Internationalen Novalis Gesellschaft. Die quellenkritisch, historisch-hermeneutisch und diskursanalytisch ausgerichteten Beiträge zeigen, wie die Wissenschaften dabei durch ihre "Poetisierung" erweitert und zusammengeführt werden. Engagement with the sciences is an integral feature of Novalis' work. Hardly any other author in the Classic and Romantic period can match the intensity and competence of his concern with the achievements of contemporary research and the structural patterns underlying the organization of knowledge. This volume contains the papers delivered at the 1st meeting of the International Novalis Society. The approaches range from the critical examination of sources through historical-hermeneutic perspectives to discourse-analytic studies, but they all demonstrate how Novalis' 'poeticization' of the sciences both extends and unifies them.

    Mit dem Leitthema »Wissen in Literatur« sind nicht die durch Literatur vermittelten und bewahrten Kommunikationen über kulturelle Gegebenheiten und Normen gemeint, die das Alltagshandeln anleiten oder dieses Verhalten reflektieren; gemeint ist vielmehr das in den Einzelwissenschaften seit dem 17. Jahrhundert produzierte (oder dort abgewiesene) >neue Wissen< über die Natur und den Menschen, das eine Änderung der humanen und sozialen Selbstdeutungen bewirkt. In der Folge entstehen konkurrierende Natur- und Darstellungskonzepte sowie neue Formen der poetischen Durchdringung des Wissens, die auf die Literatur und die Wissenschaften gleichermaßen zurückwirken. The theme of this volume, 'knowledge in literature', refers not to the way in which literature communicates cultural phenomena, events, and norms regulating or reflecting everyday action and behaviour. Instead, it focuses on the 'new knowledge' about nature and the human animal produced (or rejected) in individual branches of science and learning since the 17th century and the changes it has effected in human and social self-interpretation. The consequence of this has been a spate of rival concepts of nature and representation and new forms of literary penetration and appropriation of knowledge that display repercussions both on literature itself and on science, philosophy and the humanities.

    Der Band analysiert das Verhältnis von Literatur und Wissen ausgehend von einer Auffassung von Literatur, die diese nicht als zu erkennenden Gegenstand oder zu definierendes Objekt, sondern als ihrerseits Theorie und Wissen produzierende Rede betrachtet, welche sich immer schon im Austausch mit anderen Feldern des Wissens befindet. Angesichts des spezifischen epistemologischen Status ihres »Gegenstandes« ist Literaturwissenschaft zu unablässiger Selbstreflexion aufgefordert. »Literatur und Wissen« wird hier als Formel für eine theoretische und methodische Unruhe verstanden - als eine Praxis des konsequenten In-Frage-Stellens des Gegenstandsbereiches, der Verfahren, Darstellungsweisen und Situierung von Literaturwissenschaft. Anhand literarischer Texte und anderer medialer Inszenierungen unternehmen die Beiträge des Bandes je singuläre Grenzgänge zwischen Literatur und Wissen. Sie behandeln Themen wie Intellektualität, Entortung von Sprache, theatralische Rede, Inszenierungsformate, Institutionalisierungen von Wissen, Dialoge und Dialogizität, Wunder und Macht sowie Text-Bild-Verhältnisse - und in allen geht es um das Wissen von und der Literatur. »Weiterlesen« insistiert dabei auf Konstellationen, Verschiebungen, Unterbrechungen, Fortsetzungen der Lektüre, die weniger auf das Finden einer neuen Stelle aus sind als auf die nochmalige Lektüre derselben, die eben damit nicht mehr dieselbe wäre. Es ist dies ein rhythmisiertes, von Literatur affiziertes Lektüreverfahren, wie es Marianne Schuller in ihren Arbeiten entwickelt hat. Der Band ist ihr als Festschrift gewidmet.

    Lucinda Cole's Imperfect Creatures offers the first full-length study of the shifting, unstable, but foundational status of "vermin" as creatures and category in the early modern literary, scientific, and political imagination. In the space between theology and an emergent empiricism, Cole's argument engages a wide historical swath of canonical early modern literary texts--William Shakespeare's Macbeth, Christopher Marlowe's The Jew of Malta, Abraham Cowley's The Plagues of Egypt, Thomas Shadwell's The Virtuoso, the Earl of Rochester's "A Ramble in St. James's Park," and Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe and Journal of the Plague Year--alongside other nonliterary primary sources and under-examined archival materials from the period, including treatises on animal trials, grain shortages, rabies, and comparative neuroanatomy. As Cole illustrates, human health and demographic problems--notably those of feeding populations periodically stricken by hunger, disease, and famine--were tied to larger questions about food supplies, property laws, national identity, and the theological imperatives that underwrote humankind's claim to dominion over the animal kingdom. In this context, Cole's study indicates, so-called "vermin" occupied liminal spaces between subject and object, nature and animal, animal and the devil, the devil and disease--even reason and madness. This verminous discourse formed a foundational category used to carve out humankind's relationship to an unpredictable, irrational natural world, but it evolved into a form for thinking about not merely animals but anything that threatened the health of the body politic--humans, animals, and even thoughts

    Mit dem Leitthema »Wissen in Literatur« sind nicht die durch Literatur vermittelten und bewahrten Kommunikationen über kulturelle Gegebenheiten und Normen gemeint, die das Alltagshandeln anleiten oder dieses Verhalten reflektieren; gemeint ist vielmehr das in den Einzelwissenschaften seit dem 17. Jahrhundert produzierte (oder dort abgewiesene) >neue Wissen< über die Natur und den Menschen, das eine Änderung der humanen und sozialen Selbstdeutungen bewirkt. In der Folge entstehen konkurrierende Natur- und Darstellungskonzepte sowie neue Formen der poetischen Durchdringung des Wissens, die auf die Literatur und die Wissenschaften gleichermaßen zurückwirken. The theme of this volume, 'knowledge in literature', refers not to the way in which literature communicates cultural phenomena, events, and norms regulating or reflecting everyday action and behaviour. Instead, it focuses on the 'new knowledge' about nature and the human animal produced (or rejected) in individual branches of science and learning since the 17th century and the changes it has effected in human and social self-interpretation. The consequence of this has been a spate of rival concepts of nature and representation and new forms of literary penetration and appropriation of knowledge that display repercussions both on literature itself and on science, philosophy and the humanities.
