Prolog till den litterära vetenskapsteorin

Abstract

The article ”Prologue to the literary theory of science” is part of an ongoing research project named ”On writing as a method”, in which I explore the intellectual and emotional overlaps between academic writing and poetry writing. In this article, I am interested in concepts such as ”truth”, ”meaning”, ”meaningfulness” and ”grief”, which I examine through a literary or poetic linguistic discourse. That is all, and still nothing has been said, or at least not in the precise way, as did the Austrian poet Ingeborg Bachmann: ”O schließ /die Augen schließ! / Preß den Mund auf den Biß!”
