Doctoral Project

Konzeptionen des Fremden in der Prosa Aleksandr Grins — abgeschlossen
Concepts of the stranger in Aleksandr Grin's prose — completed
 

In the dissertation project, the concept of the other/alien in Russian literature and culture - in their direct connection with the concept of ownership - is examined on the basis of selected travel texts by the Russian writer Aleksandr Grin. The project argues that the far-reaching disregard of Grin’s aesthetically high-quality work by literary scholars is in part due to his unusual “handling” of others/aliens in Russian culture. Grin's prose stands in stark contrast to the travel texts of other Russian writers - of the 20th as well as earlier centuries - in which the (negatively assessed) other/alien is perceived mostly in relation to a sense of ownership and thus is sharply limited. The other/alien plays an important role for Grin not only in terms of content, language and aesthetics; the boundaries to one's ownership of space/place are also blurred, the previously clear axiology is thereby questioned. This makes Grin's novels, novellas and short stories themselves foreign to Russian culture. By examining Grin's concepts of the other/alien, important insights into the cultural and aesthetic literary characteristics of this author are gained. Equally, the example of his prose can make a significant contribution to the still under-researched field of Russian travel literature.
