Mein Leben in Deutschland vor und nach 1933
Wissenschaftsgeschichte im neuen Licht. Die Nazis unterbrachen 1935 die Karriere des aufstrebenden Philosophen und Heidegger-Schülers Karl Löwith abrupt. Der Grund: seine jüdische Herkunft. 1940 im Exil rechnet Löwith mit seinem Deutschtum und mit falschen Weggefährten ab. Erstmals erscheint der Bericht jetzt im vollen Wortlaut des Originals. Ergänzt um eine Fülle von neuen Erkenntnissen und Materialien, treten jetzt Verflechtungen und Netzwerke zu Tage, die bislang im Dunkeln geblieben waren.

200 Years of National Philologies
The 17 contributions in this volume pursue a positioning of the philologies, which - based on the 'Volksgeist' (popular spirit) of the 19th century and the cultural studies of the 20th century - must reposition themselves in the 21st century. The contributions address questions such as: What changes are occurring with increasing globalization? Are national literatures increasingly being absorbed into the so-called "world literature"? The authors come from the fields of Romance studies, German studies and English studies. They deal with topics of literary historiography, canonization, comparative literature, and also questions of the future.
Literature Redeemed
In the post-Soviet period, discussions of "postmodernism" in Russian literature have proliferated. Based on close literary analysis of representative works of fiction by three post-Soviet Russian writers – Vladimir Sorokin, Vladimir Tuchkov and Aleksandr Khurgin – this book investigates the usefulness and accuracy of the notion of "postmodernism" in the post-Soviet context. Classic Russian literature, renowned for its pursuit of aesthetic, moral and social values, and the modernism that succeeded it have often been seen as antipodes to postmodernist principles. The author wishes to dispute this polarity and proposes "post-Soviet neo-modernism" as an alternative concept. "Neo-modernism" embodies the notion that post-Soviet writers have redeemed the tendency of earlier literature to seek the meaning of human existence in a transcendent realm, as well as in the treasures of Russia's cultural past.
Digital Scholarly Editions Beyond Text
Scholarly editions contextualize our cultural heritage. Traditionally, methodologies from the field of scholarly editing are applied to works of literature, e.g. in order to trace their genesis or present their varied history of transmission. What do we make of the variance in other types of cultural heritage? How can we describe, record, and reproduce it systematically? From medieval to modern times, from image to audiovisual media, the book traces discourses across different disciplines in order to develop a conceptual model for scholarly editions on a broader scale. By doing so, it also delves into the theory and philosophy of the (digital) humanities as such.
