6. Sinnesstämning, skratt och hypokondri : Om estetisk erfarenhet i Kants tredje Kritik
Sammanfattning : This thesis considers Immanuel Kant’s notion of sensibility in the Critique of the Power of Judgment (1790) and Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of View (1798).

Sammanfattning : This dissertation examines precision as an aesthetic concept and practice in texts by Witold Gombrowicz (1904–1969), Inger Christensen (1935–2009) and Herta Müller (1953–).
