To initiate its new Ph.D. Program in Transcultural German Studies, jointly offered by the University of Arizona and the University of Leipzig, the Department of German Studies at the University of Arizona organized an international conference on Transcultural German Studies in Tucson from March 29-31, 2007.

The contributions that comprise the volume are by scholars who work in a number of related fields, exploring transcultural phen...

Die Biographie "Georg Büchner" (Rostock 2010) ist die gründlich überarbeitete und erweiterte Neuauflage einer 1983 im Bibliographischen Institut Leipzig erschienenen Bildbiographie. Diese lehnte sich unter anderem an das Buch "Georg Büchner und seine Zeit" von Hans Mayer (erschienen Frankfurt am Main 1972 und 1977, zuerst Wiesbaden 1946) an. Die aktuelle Überarbeitung erfolgte vor allem anhand der Veröffentlichungen Jan-Christoph Hauschilds über Büchner; speziell der 2004 in zweiter Auflage in Reinbek bei Hamburg erschienenen rororo Monographie. Hinzugezogen wurde aber auch die von Ariane Martin verfasste Biographie "Georg Büchner", Stuttgart 2007, und weitere Literatur. Übernommen wurden insbesondere Neudatierungen, etwa von Briefen, sowie präzisere Einordnungen biographischer und werkgeschichtlicher Daten und Fakten; teilweise auch ausführlichere Darstellungen von damaligen Geschehnissen und Zusammenhängen. Es wurden auch einige, zuvor unberücksichtigt gebliebene Briefe, die in der Marburger Ausgabe beziehungsweise in der kritischen Studienausgabe des Briefwechsels Büchners, hrsg. von J.-Chr. Hauschild, enthalten sind, zitiert.
A Sea of Love presents 95 letters exchanged between Hamburg and Antebellum USA by the famous Berlin born scholar, encyclopedist, and knowledge broker Francis Lieber (1798-1872) and his wife, Hamburg born Mathilde in 1839-1845. Their letters offer rare insights in the privacy of marriage and family life, self perceptions, notions of surroundings, as well as mental settings of the spouses. Beyond genuine individual phenomena of their Atlantic emotions their epistles show ways and methods of international communication and networking. Their writings reflect general notions and ideas shared by well-educated citizens of an Atlantic Republic of Letters connected by culture, interests, and emotions.
Georg Büchner: Contemporary Perspectives examines the continuing relevance of Büchner in the early twenty-first century in terms of politics, science, philosophy, aesthetics, cultural studies and performance studies. It situates Büchner’s interdisciplinary work in relation to the philosophical, scientific and religious discourses of his time, while also investigating the ways in which Büchner’s intersectional writings anticipated – sometimes uncannily – questions and problems which were to become central concerns in modernism and after. The nineteen essays in the book, some in English and some in German, uniquely combine close readings of individual passages and images with wide-...

Organic waste composting is another excellent example to demonstrate the power and the benefits of nexus thinking. Even though organic waste composting itself is not a new topic, those who want to start a new project or align an ongoing project with nexus thinking, find it difficult to gather the necessary information. With nine case studies from four continents, this book aims to fill above gap in literature. While current literature on composting is often found to be limited to either soil/agriculture sector or waste management sector, this book presents a combined point of view. This open access book starts with an introductory chapter that describes the need to bring the waste management...
Die erst nach Georg Büchners Tod erschienene fragmentarische Erzählung "Lenz" (1839) gehört zu den Meisterwerken der deutschsprachigen Prosa. Büchner schildert in seiner einzigen Erzählung die fortschreitende psychische Erkrankung des Sturm-und-Drang-Autors Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz (1751–1792) während des kurzen Aufenthalts beim Pfarrer Johann Friedrich Oberlin im Januar/Februar 1778. Die innovativen Erzähltechniken ermöglichen dem Leser ein Miterleben von Lenz' Erkrankung – die Grenzen zwischen Innen- und Außenwelt, von Vernunft und Wahnsinn scheinen zu zerfließen. Die Studienausgabe erschließt den Text in seiner historischen Gestalt und Überlieferung, auf dem aktuellen Stand der Editionswissenschaft.
In this Open Access book, Katharina Merian discusses memories of Marielle Franco from the perspective of the concept of dangerous memory introduced by the political theologian Johann Baptist Metz. Franco was an Afro-Brazilian human-rights activist and city councilor of Rio de Janeiro who was assassinated on March 14, 2018. Her murder elicited worldwide protest and empathy. Today she is considered an international symbol in the fight for human, women, and LGBTQ+ rights. Based on the memories of people from Franco’s inner circle, the study explores Franco’s life, what it meant to the people around her, and how her image was transformed following her murder. By critically engaging with Metz...
