Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Theisen examines the literary themes of the works of several famous writers during the romantic period. She stresses that for romanticism, chaos is a metaphor for the transition from an old to a new order, connected to the ideas of self-similarity, recursion, self-organization, and complexity. However, romantic thought also transcendentalizes this figure of transition through a poetological calculus with the infinite that relies on a self-generated indeterminacy.
