Abstract The research project aims to make the occult visible as a component of Viennese modernism. It connects to a research context that understands occultism and esotericism not as opposed to modernism, but rather as concepts of knowledge that promoted it. Unlike Berlin, Munich and Leipzig, Vienna around 1900 has been little researched in this context to date. This study remedies this research gap by examining an extensive and disparate corpus of texts in detail for the first time. Das Forschungsprojekt verfolgt das Ziel, das Okkulte als Bestandteil der Wiener Moderne sichtbar zu machen. Es schließt an einen Forschungskontext an, der Okkultismus und Esoterik nicht als der Moderne entgegengesetzte, sondern vielmehr als sie befördernde Wissenskonzepte begreift. Die vorliegende Studie behebt diese Forschungslücke, indem sie erstmals ein umfangreiches und disparates Textkorpus eingehend in den Blick nimmt.
AbstractList This study examines the interactions between literature and occultism in Vienna around 1900. For the first time, it examines a comprehensive and disparate corpus of texts and asks how philological work relates to a worldview in which nothing is accidental and everything is meaningful. Occult knowledge operates in the realm of "border science": It intrudes into authorized areas and pushes the conventional boundaries of science, society, politics, and art. In short, it affects the self-image of a modern, progressive life around 1900. Literature is just one artistic form of expression among many in which boundaries are explored and pushed. At the heart of this study are nine thematic complexes that make the occult tangible in its everyday manifestations through a variety of literary and non-literary texts.
