He then went to the Central Institute for the History of Literature at the Academy of Sciences of the GDR in Berlin as a research assistant , where he worked until 1992. During this time he completed his habilitation in 1989 with studies on the history of reflection of poetic imagination between the Enlightenment and the modern . Barck's academic focus lay in the literary history of Spanish and French modernism, the history of literary studies and the theory of aesthetic thought.
