Subproject C04 examines Heimat ciphers, their structure and function against the background of the conditions of their genesis, development and change. Visual ciphers from the mid-19th century to the present are examined in a variety of source material - illustrated art magazines, novels, their film adaptations and Heimat films. The topographical focus is on the German-speaking world - also as the country of origin of the concept of Heimat - and as a comparative foil on France (especially Provence).
The following full-time position (100 percent) is to be filled in the subproject C04 „Visual Ciphers of Home in the Visual Arts, Literature and Film“ (focus on French literature and film from the 1840s onwards, i.a. Méry, Dumas, Daudet, Pagnol) from 1 October 2024 initially until 30 June 2028:
