Ex Oriente Lux: Literaturwissenschaftliche und imagologische Ansätze
In der zweiten Publikation der Reihe "Germanistik in der Türkei" wird die Vielfältigkeit der Forschungsthemen innerhalb der türkischen Germanistik unter dem Titel "Ex Oriente Lux: Literaturwissenschaftliche und imagologische Ansätze" dargestellt. Alte und neue Vorstellungen angesichts einer jahrhundertelangen Orient-Okzident Debatte werden in diesem Band diskutiert und analysiert. Der vorliegende Band widmet sich unterschiedlichen Themenschwerpunkten: Deutsch-türkische Begegnungen in ihrem historischen Kontext und die Erörterung zeitgenössischer Kontakte und Konfrontationen. Darüber hinaus findet seitens der AutorInnen eine Beleuchtung kultur- und übersetzungswissenschaftlicher Perspektiven statt sowie eine Auseinandersetzung mit verschiedenen Themengebieten der Sprachwissenschaft und der Didaktik. Ein gemeinsames Anliegen aller Beiträge ist die Vermittlung zwischen den Kulturen.
The Drinker
One of the great German writers of the 20th century draws from his own life to present a “brave, fearless, and honest” tale of one man’s dark descent into depression and alcoholism (The Sunday Times, London) This astonishing, autobiographical tour de force was written by Hans Fallada in an encrypted notebook while he was incarcerated in a Nazi insane asylum. Discovered after his death, it tells the tale—often fierce, often poignant, often extremely funny—of a small businessman losing control as he fights valiantly to blot out an increasingly oppressive society. In a brilliant translation by Charlotte and A.L. Lloyd, it is presented here with an afterword by John Willett that details the life and career of the once internationally acclaimed Hans Fallada, and his fate under the Nazis—which brings out the horror of the events behind the book.

Sustaining Musical Instruments / Food and Instrumental Music
This 7th volume of SIMP is dedicated to two large themes that were discussed in the last Study Group Symposium held online and arranged by the Music Faculty of the University of the Visual and Performing Arts, Colombo, Sri Lanka, in March 2021: ``Re-invention and Sustainability of Musical Instruments'' and ``Instrumental Music and Food''. Thirteen contributions were compiled in this volume relating to the first theme, while seven contributions were chosen to represent the second. The first part of the contributions illustrates that musical instruments have a long and regionally intertwined history. Often it is hard to say who invented a specific type first as well as to answer if musical instruments were used symbolically or supported in any way supported regional cultural aspects, or what feature of musical instruments had the strongest impact on local developments. The last seven contributions deal with various phenomena such as banquet music, ritual music and food offerings, instrumental ambience music, and festivals.
