The study ‘›Haltung‹ und Realismus. Zur Theorie poetischer Verallgemeinerung’ investigates the political implications of the concept of form in the context of the (post-)Marxist debate on literary realism between Georg Lukács, Bertolt Brecht, Walter Benjamin, Theodor W. Adorno and Alexander Kluge: How do humans relate to themselves and to reality? Are they the creators of this relationship or merely passive observers of the conditions that prevail over them? (How) can they behave in an emancipatory way?
