Berlin International

Die Literaturszene im Berlin der 1970er und 1980er Jahre lässt sich auf beiden Seiten der Mauer durch umfangreiche Internationalisierungsprozesse beschreiben: Schrittweise, mit einem Höhepunkt gegen Ende der 1980er Jahre, bildeten sich Infrastrukturen heraus, die insbesondere West-Berlin als Aufenthalts- und Begegnungsort für internationale Autor:innen attraktiv machten, während sich auch auf DDR-Seite eine internationalisierte literarische Szene entwickelte. Die 15 literaturwissenschaftlichen Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes untersuchen exemplarisch anhand von Institutionen, Programmen oder kulturpolitischen Verträgen die Beschaffenheit bilateraler Beziehungen auf literarischem Gebiet...

The Vigorous Core of Our Nationality

The Vigorous Core of Our Nationality explores conceptualizations of regional identity and a distinct population group known as nordestinos in northeastern Brazil during a crucial historical period. Beginning with the abolition of slavery and ending with the demise of the Estado Novo under Getœlio Vargas, Stanley E. Blake offers original perspectives on the paradoxical concept of the nordestino and the importance of these debates to the process of state and nation building. Since colonial times, the Northeast has been an agricultural region based primarily on sugar production. The area's population was composed of former slaves and free men of African descent, indigenous Indians, European wh...

Verb-second as a reconstruction phenomenon

This investigation of V2-movement addresses the question which role the lexical content of the moved element plays during sentence processing. It draws on original theoretical arguments, empirical data and results from psycholinguistic experiments. The main finding is that the lexical content of the V2-verb is interpreted only at the end of the clause, i.e. at the base position of the finite verb.

Guimarães Rosa und Meyer-Clason

With its new subtitle, Romance Literatures of the World, the book series mimesis presents an innovative and integral understanding of the Romance world and Romance Studies from the perspective of literary studies and cultural theory. It takes account of the fact that the fascinating development of Romance literatures and cultures both in Europe and beyond has set in motion worldwide dynamics which continue the great traditions of the Romance world and open up new horizons for them. mimesis works from a transareal understanding of Romance Studies which integrates Romance literatures and cultures both within and outside Europe and which transcends the national and disciplinary boundaries which often conceal the interactions between different traditions and developments in Europe and the Americas, in Africa and Asia. In the archipelago of Romance Studies, mimesis reveals how the representation of reality in the Romance literatures of the world opens the door to a multilingual cosmos of diverse logics.

Zum 100. Geburtstag des »Erfinders« des modernen Literaturbetriebs: Lyriker und Literaturprofessor – Walter Höllerer (1922–2003) verband poetischen Ausdruck und akademische Reflexion.

Auch bei der Gruppe 47 mischte Höller...
