andererseits - Yearbook of Transatlantic German Studies
andererseits provides a forum for research, commentary, and creative work on topics related to the German-speaking world and the field of German Studies. Works presented in the publication come from a wide variety of genres including book reviews, poetry, essays, editorials, forum discussions, academic notes, lectures, and traditional peer-reviewed academic articles. In addition, we welcome contributions by journalists, librarians, archivists, and other commentators interested in German Studies broadly conceived. As a specifically transatlantic endeavor, we also highlight select topics in American Studies that impact German Studies. By publishing such a diverse array of material, we hope to demonstrate the extraordinary value of the humanities in general, and German Studies in particular, on a variety of intellectual and cultural levels. This issue features sections about German Studies approaches to media literacy, Stephen Dowden's book »Modernism and Mimesis« and the poetics of ambiguous memory.

Bridal-quest Epics in Medieval Germany
König Rother, Salman und Morolf, the Münchner Oswald and Grauer Rock (otherwise known as Orendel) have had a troubled position in the literary history of medieval Germany. Forced into a normative generic framework as either 'Minstrel Epic' (Spielmannsepik) or 'Bridal-quest Epic' (Brautwerbungsepik), these texts have been viewed conventionally according to an essentially teleological classification or a schematic ideal. Bowden challenges the premises of such a view with a detailed history of the textual scholarship, and revaluates these so called 'Bridal quests' on their own terms, offering detailed and suggestive readings of each work without the distortions or limitations inherent in the traditional interpretative model. Sarah Bowden is Powys Roberts Research Fellow at St Hugh's College, Oxford.
Salomon und Markolf – Ein literarischer Komplex im Mittelalter und in der frühen Neuzeit
Der lateinische Prosaroman "Dialogus Salomonis et Marcolfi", der eine Auseinandersetzung zwischen den Prinzipien Weisheit auf Seiten Salomons und List auf Seiten des Marcolfus bietet, wird im 14., 15. und 16. Jahrhundert mehrfach Ausgangspunkt literarischer Bearbeitungen in der Volkssprache. In verschiedenen Gattungen (Spruchgedicht in Versen, Prosaübersetzung, Fastnachtspiel, comedi, Meisterlied) wird der Stoff übersetzt und interpretiert, dabei auch von seinen in einigen Fällen namentlich bekannten Autoren (Gregor Hayden, Hans Folz, Hans Sachs, Zacharias Bletz) gekürzt oder moralisch gedeutet. Ein zweiter Erzählstrang, derjenige des Brautwerbungsepos "Salman und Morolf", ist überlief...
