Demiurgen in der Krise: Architektenfiguren in der Literatur nach 1945

Translated title of the contribution: Demiurgs in crisis: Architects in post 1945 literature

Sarah Pogoda

Research output: Book/Report › Book › peer-review

Abstract

Reconstruction of a cultural history of the architect as a demiurge, beginning with Plato's Timaios and completing with Peter Sloterdijk's Sphärologie, in order to analyse the metaphorical dimensions of architects in fiction, ranging from immediate post-war literature through to GDR and contemporary literature. The analysis of more than 60 novels, short stories and plays revealed hidden discourses on ideas and mentalities linked to changing understanding of a ‘demiurgian humanism‘ – a concept that is in its German specification still employed in the self-understanding of the ‘Berlin Republic‘ today.
