Science, Nature, and the Self in the work of Alfred Döblin and Robert Musil

My project examines the special place occupied by scientific (and philosophical) knowledge in the work of these two canonical Modernist authors. Analysing a selection of their prose works in coordination with their theoretical and scientific writings, I want to consider both the role that they respectively envision for the self in an increasingly technologized world, and the ways in which literature might reflect and even constitute it.
