This website presents the results of the collective research carried out by a Franco-German team, mainly based at the University of Paris-Est/Marne-la-Vallée and the University of Tübingen. The project is entitled “Biological Time, Historical Time. Transfers and Transformations of Patterns in Nineteenth-Century Literature” and deals with the emergence in the literary texts of the nineteenth century of thinking patterns and representations of time borrowed from two different fields: history and biology (or rather natural science at a time when the field of biology is not yet constituted). The aim of this website is to disseminate the results of this research, to present our working assumptions, and to generate feedback on this particular line of investigation, as up until now the study of the intertwining of historical and biological patterns in literary texts has been fairly neglected, especially from a Franco-German perspective.
