Dr. Jacobs' research focuses on several interconnected areas within German literary studies. Her primary interests include the effects of temporalization around 1800, German-French literary relations since the Enlightenment, literary exoticism and ethnopoetry from the 19th to 21st centuries, language and religion, literary didactics, and the aesthetics and knowledge history of the mood concept. Her work demonstrates a particular strength in bridging historical literary analysis with philosophical and aesthetic inquiry, especially in her extensive research on mood concepts across different literary periods.
Analysis of Dr. Jacobs' publication record reveals a sustained scholarly engagement with German literary modernism, particularly focusing on figures like Kierkegaard, Hofmannsthal, Rilke, and Goethe. Her work consistently explores the intersection of mood, aesthetics, and philosophical concepts, with a notable emphasis on how temporal frameworks shape literary expression. The progression of her research shows increasing sophistication in connecting mood concepts with broader philosophical and religious frameworks, particularly in her more recent work on Kierkegaard and religious communication.
Dr. Jacobs has made significant contributions to German literary scholarship through her monographs Stimmungskunst von Novalis bis Hofmannsthal (2013/2016) and Goethe und die Renaissance (1997), along with numerous scholarly articles spanning from the 1990s to the present. Her work has appeared in respected journals and edited volumes across German literary studies, philosophy, and interdisciplinary humanities publications.
While specific details about her advising and grant activities are not provided in the available materials, her extensive publication record and continued academic presence suggest active participation in scholarly communities and likely mentorship of graduate students in German literary studies.
