Paul de Man, for example, declared that 'a literary text is not a phenomenal event' and therefore 'solicits an understanding that has to remain immanent'. In his study, Christian Jany challenges such a strict division by shifting attention to the interplay between perceptual and narrative processes. The introduction of key phenomenological concepts and, above all, Hegel's conception of sense perception as a 'story' prepare this shift theoretically. The following analyses of scenic descriptions - or scenographies - of perception by Novalis, Rilke, and Proust demonstrate the interplay of perception and narration in practice. The things a Rilkean poem has us see, the subtle resonances of the opening scene of Proust's \u003cem\u003eRecherche\u003c\/em\u003e, and the strange fusions of thought and feeling that some 'blue flower' generates in Novalis's \u003cem\u003eHeinrich von Ofterdingen\u003c\/em\u003e are exemplary cases in point of this ambitious study in literary aesthetics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChristian Jany is a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Literary and Cultural Studies, ETH Z?ich.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christian Jany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1781885109\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781781885109\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Legenda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.57d","brand":"Christian Jany","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44077306577151,"sku":"9781781885109","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_351ceeb4-9d77-43f3-a4fa-d3a7d57b9199.jpg?v=1685469282","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/scenographies-of-perception-christian-jany-9781781885109","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
