The ERC Project (Consolidator Grant) "

DERIVATE:
"Retelling and Repetition:

Towards a Literary History of Derivation" inquires into the practice of retelling as a springboard for conceptualising literary history in terms of a history of derivations.

Starting from the premise that retelling is a transhistorical concept, the project sheds new light on the processes of reception that find their expression in the current interest in and relevance of premodern material as witnessed by the surge of retellings in contemporary English literature.

The project triangulates (classical) reception studies, medieval literary studies as well as literary theory, especially postmodernist theory, and scrutinizes the practice of retelling premodern (ancient and medieval) texts in contemporary English literature.

The doctoral researchers will carry out research under the supervision of the Principal Investigator.

They will be required to contribute to collaborative activities as part of the project DERIVATE, present their research at national and international conferences, and be involved in the organisation of events and workshops.

A strong background and/or interest in interdisciplinary work is highly desirable.
