Allegorie : DFG-Symposion 2014

"The symposium reviews and extends perspectives on allegory drawn from the work of Walter Benjamin and Paul de Man. Modern and post-modern self-reflective practices that employ the fragment, citation, collage and an ironic presentation of meta-fictionality have stimulated a return to allegory as an analytic category. Allegory opens the way to a new understanding of symbolic practices previously conceptualized as mimetic."-- Provided by publisher
