The expression “North of the North” refers both to an objective, geographical reality – the territories situated at the highest latitudes on our planet – and to a subjective, mental construction which came into being many centuries ago and has been developed, modified and differentiated ever since. The chapters in the present volume examine various aspects of that concept, analysing texts and works of art from a range of regions and periods. La notion de « Nord du Nord » renvoie tout autant à la réalité géographique objective que sont les territoires des latitudes les plus élevées de notre planète qu’à une construction mentale subjective qui s’est constituée, développ...

Opening the Books of Moses presents an introduction to the first five books of the Bible. It is written for any student engaged in the scholarly study of these most central of biblical texts. The aim throughout is to examine the books with a view to illuminating the ideas, beliefs and experiences of the time. This broad overview provides: a survey of the current state of Pentateuchal research; an analysis of how the texts were shaped by their time and audience; an outline of Jewish areas in the Persian period; the study concludes with an analysis of key concerns in the study of the Pentateuch, notably the Torah, geography, ethnicity, the nature of Yahweh and other deities, theories of cult, treaties and oaths, and Moses himself.
„Die private scheisse von millionen menschen muss endlich ihre konsequenzen haben“ – als sich diese Forderung Bernward Vespers während des „Deutschen Herbstes“ erfüllt, ist der Autor bereits tot. Das Buch allerdings, in dem der denkwürdige Satz zu finden ist, der Romanessay Die Reise, erscheint ausgerechnet im Sommer jenes fatalen Jahres 1977. Seither wird Die Reise immer wieder als „Nachlass einer ganzen Generation“ beschworen. Die Rezeptionsgeschichte des Textes ist jedoch geprägt von vereindeutigenden und reduktiven Lesarten. Diesen stellt der vorliegende Band aktuelle Forschungsbeiträge gegenüber, die sich Vespers Schaffen in nüchterner Weise und aus methodisch heterogenen Perspektiven annähern.
Warum und wie lösen literarische Texte Skandale aus? Was ist eigentlich ein Literaturskandal? Und auf welche Erkenntnisse und Theorien der Skandalforschung anderer Disziplinen kann die Literaturwissenschaft aufbauen? Regina Roßbach beantwortet diese Fragen mit einem Modell des Literaturskandals als Kommunikationsphänomen. Wie seine Analyse mit der Interpretation literarischer Texte kombiniert werden kann und wie ein Vergleich verschiedener Literaturskandale gelingt, zeigt sie anhand historischer Literaturskandale um Charles Baudelaires Les Fleurs du Mal, Émile Zolas L’Assommoir, Oscar Wildes The Picture of Dorian Gray, Klaus Manns Mephisto, Salman Rushdies The Satanic Verses und Martin Walsers Friedenspreisrede beziehungsweise seinen Roman Ein springender Brunnen.
