Topics
Das Institut für Geschichtswissenschaft und Literarische Kulturen widmet sich der kulturwissenschaftlich orientierten geschichts- und literaturwissenschaftlichen Forschung und Lehre. Einen besonderen Schwerpunkt bildet die Erforschung kulturgeschichtlicher und literarischer Phänomene des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts. Es gliedert sich in die Abteilungen Geschichtswissenschaft und Literarische Kulturen.
Geschichtswissenschaft
Der Bereich der Sozial- und Kulturgeschichte beschäftigt sich mit der Beschreibung der kulturellen und sozialen Vergesellschaftungsprozesse in ihrem historischen Kontext. Dies ermöglicht vor allem auch einen Blick auf historische Transformationsprozesse, wie sie sich strukturell, aber auch in Biographien ausprägen.
Literarische Kulturen
Die Bezeichnung "Literarische Kulturen" betont den kulturwissenschaftlichen Charakter der im Fächerensemble der Lüneburger Kulturwissenschaften praktizierten Literaturwissenschaft. Auch diese widmet sich im Kernbereich – ganz wie die traditionell orientierten literaturwissenschaftlichen Institute – zunächst und vor allem den literarischen Werken: ihrer Ästhetik, den Umständen ihrer Produktion, ihrer Geschichte sowie den Lektüren, die sie hervorgerufen haben.
