Because that limitless state is not anchored in any beginning or destination, it can disrupt history at any moment and indeed cannot be separated from history's ordinary functioning; it thus becomes a part of history itself, its internal excess. In readings of Immanuel Kant, Mary Wollstonecraft, Willian Godwin, William Wordsworth, Lord Byron, and Percy Bysshe Shelley, this book explores how this internal excess takes the form of an infinitely demanding ethics and a traumatic sublime, both of which becomes most visible in the subject's encounters with a geological history marked by endless disaster. Rather than producing a grounded, secular subject, modernity's initial gesture brings about an array of disastrous subjectivities, each haunted by its radically vulnerable, nonsecular condition."-- Geschichte 1790-1830 gnd 1800-1899 fast Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 gnd Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd Moderne (DE-588)4039827-4 gnd Romantik (DE-588)4050491-8 gnd Subjektivismus (DE-588)4183908-0 gnd English literature 19th century History and criticism Romanticism Civilization, Modern Subjectivity Civilization, Modern fast English literature fast Romanticism fast Subjectivity fast Criticism, interpretation, etc fast Stoppsignal FRED 27.01.2020 nebis DS IDSBB 100 1- Collings David 1959- (DE-588)170895890 Verfasser aut SWISSBIB 576295949 BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 IDSBB A100 A100 100FM UBH AOe 45217 NELA1002001 IDSBB DSV51 DSV01 A100 http://www.ub.unibas.ch/tox/IDSBB/007134849/PDF pdf VIEW Inhaltsverzeichnis
