Abstract: Mediality and Materiality are two concepts and paradigms that have long been one of the focal points in literary and cultural studies in recent decades. If we analyze the structure and motive - its thematic significance - of Goethe's West-Eastern Divan from these two dimensions and explore the specific issues of mediality and materiality in this poetic collection, we may easily pry into Goethe's reflection on and interpretation of the medial-material conditional structure in his later work. In Goethe's view, it is clearly probable to establish a utopia of multiple reference and diversity, in which mediality and materiality may gain a sort of vitality for transformation.

Key words: Goethe, West-Eastern Divan, mediality, materiality
