Orient as Otherness in German Literature

Panel: 
Literature and Science II
Abstract: 

Goethe’s “West-East Divan” shows the relationship between literature and oriental studies as a trend in German literature. Not only the structure of the “Divan” in lyric and prose (poem and discourse), but also Goethe’s method in the lyric and prose part circumstantiate the complex relationship between literature and science.
