Sea of Literatures
Mediterranean studies flourish in literary and cultural studies, but concepts of the Mediterranean and the theories and methods they use are very disparate. This is because the Mediterranean is not a simple geographical or historical unity, but a multiplicity, a network of highly interconnected elements, each of which is different and individual. Talking about Mediterranean literature raises the question of whether the connectivity of Mediterranean literature can or should be limited in some way by constructing an inside and an outside of the Mediterranean. What kind of connectivity and fragmentation do literary texts produce, how do they build and interrupt references (to the real, to fictional forms of representation, to history, but also to other texts and discourses), how do they create and deny communication, and how do they engage with and reflect literary and non-literary concepts of the Mediterranean? These and other questions are considered and discussed in the over twenty contributions gathered in this volume.
Affective Geographies
By reading the works of Miguel de Cervantes through the history of emotion, this book defies a series of long-standing commonplaces about the author's writing and the Mediterranean region at large.
Dante's "Vita Nova"
This original volume proposes a novel way of reading Dante’s Vita nova, exemplified in a rich diversity of scholarly approaches to the text. This groundbreaking volume represents the fruit of a two-year-long series of international seminars aimed at developing a fresh way of reading Dante’s Vita nova.

Giacomo Leopardi – Dichtung als inszenierte Selbsttäuschung in der Krise des Bewusstseins
Leopardi setzt sich nicht nur mit den großen Illusionen im kollektiven Bewusstsein der Menschheit von den Uranfängen her auseinander, sondern auch autoreflexiv mit der Standpunktsuche als Dichter und Philosoph. Diese vollzieht sich in immer neuen Inszenierungen, in denen Täuschung und Selbsttäuschung die Unvollkommenheit, den Mangel kaschieren. Die als Illusionen enttarnten einstigen Menschheitsideale überführt Leopardi in den Bereich des Ästhetischen, um mit seiner Sprache des Indefiniten ihre Trugbildhaftigkeit zu zelebrieren. Der Vorstellung der Schattenhaftigkeit des Menschen, die zu Nietzsche und in die Moderne führt, entsprechen der Traum und der Wachtraum. Diese Nachtbereiche der Seele treten in Konkurrenz zur Realität und bilden Reservoire für die Imagination, in der sich vage neue Menschheitsentwürfe, z.B. in Richtung auf die Exploration des Mondes und die künstliche Intelligenz, erahnen lassen.

Vie Lombarde e Venete
This collective volume deals with the reception and assimilation of different forms of knowledge in Northern Italy in the 18th and early 19th centuries. This knowledge originated in Germany, Austria and France and was communicated through literature. The aim of this book is to show the European significance of Northern Italy as hub of cultural mediation and assimilation processes ‐ a role which has received little attention until now.
