After the Enlightenment and before Realism, Romanticism is one of those great epochs of art that were directional not only in a regional or national context but especially in a European context. The specific value of Romanticism is that it is in this epoch that two ideas crystallize which will continue to play a fundamental role in the further development of aesthetic and political thought in Western culture, namely the ideas of individuality on one hand and Volkskultur - folksiness on the other. In the field of aesthetics, the idea of individuality will derive, among other things, from the a priori demand for the originality of the work (a demand that is now generally valid in the field of canonical literature), while the Romantic discovery of the people will mean for the further development of art a turning away from the conventional poetological claims of high art and, on the contrary, demand for the authenticity of artistic expression. In the field of political theory and practice, from the abstract idea of individuality will derive the idea of human rights as the cornerstone of future democratic states, and from the idea of folksiness, among other things, the concept of nationalism, which will become the dominant principle of all European "nations" during the 19th century. - The seminar aims to present Romanticism in a European context, with particular reference to German and Scandinavian/Nordic developments, with the emergence and critique of the ideas of individuality and humanity (as well as the contradictions that may lie between them) as a leitmotif.
