Editorial: Workshop on European formalisms (Germanic countries and Eastern Europe) Formalism’ as an epistemological fact

Abstract

This thematic issue is the result of the colloquium Workshop on European formalisms (Germanic countries and Eastern Europe) held at the University of Burgundy in June 2022. This meeting brought together international experts in the field to examine what is now perceived as a major epistemological fact of the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. This meeting was a continuation of other scientific events stemming from the same line of research (for example, the international colloquium “Between psychologism and formalism: psychological aesthetics between Germany and Russia (1860-1930)”, Free University of Berlin, Berlin, 10-11 June 2016; the international colloquium “FORME(S) / FORMALISME(S)”, University of Lausanne, 20-21 March 2019).
