Mehrsprachigkeit und das Politische
Dieser Band vermittelt Kenntnisse zu aktuellen Entwicklungen in der deutschsprachigen und baltischen exophonen Literatur. Der besondere Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Wechselbeziehung zwischen Mehrsprachigkeit und dem Politischen. Der politische Aspekt bleibt dabei nicht auf das politische Engagement der Autoren oder die erzählten politischen Hintergründe beschränkt, sondern das Politische des Literarischen selbst wird in dem Sinne miteinbezogen, dass der politische Raum durch kulturelle Phänomene geformt wird, durch die Erzeugung von Weltansichten. Mit Yoko Tawada, José FA Oliver, Christian Kracht, Peter Waterhouse, Barbi Markovic, Margeris Zarinš und Gohar Markosjans sind nur einige der Autorinnen und Autoren genannt, deren Texte im Band untersucht werden.
TransArea
Der vorliegende Band geht von der These aus, daß Globalisierung kein rezentes Phänomen, sondern ein langanhaltender, sich über mehrere Jahrhunderte erstreckender Prozeß ist, der sich in vier Phasen beschleunigter Globalisierung unterteilen läßt und die Frühe Neuzeit der europäischen Geschichtsschreibung über die weltweit unterschiedlich divergierenden Modernen mit unserer Gegenwart in den ersten Jahrzehnten des 21. Jahrhunderts verbindet. Wir sollten gewiß nicht damit aufhören, die Phänomene der Globalisierung aus dem Blickwinkel der Ökonomie oder der Politik, des Finanzwesens oder der Rechtsprechung, der Medizin, der Geschichte oder der Geographie zu betrachten; aber wir sollte...
Moving Words
In the decades since the fall of the Berlin Wall, Berlin has re-emerged as a global city in large part thanks to its reputation as a literary city – a place where artists from around the world gather and can make a life. Moving Words foregrounds the many contexts in which life in the city of Berlin is made literary – from old neighbourhood bookshops to new reading circles, NGOs working to secure asylum for writers living in exile to specialized workshops for young migrant poets. Highlighting the differences, tensions, and contradictions of these scenes, this book reveals how literature can be both a site of domination and a resource for resisting and transforming those conditions. By att...
Tawada Yoko
This collection draws from scholars across different languages to address and assess the scholarly achievements of Tawada Yōko. Yōko, born in Japan (1960) and based in Germany, writes and presents in both German and Japanese. The contributors of this volume recognize her as one of the most important contemporary international writers. Her published books alone number more than fifty volumes, with roughly the same number in German and Japanese. Tawada’s writing unfolds at the intersections of borders, whether of language, identity, nationality, or gender. Her characters are all travelers of some sort, often foreigners and outsiders, caught in surreal in-between spaces, such as between lan...

Beyond the Mother Tongue
Beyond the Mother Tongue examines distinct forms of multilingualism, such as writing in one socially unsanctioned “mother tongue” about another language (Franz Kafka); mobilizing words of foreign derivation as part of a multilingual constellation within one language (Theodor W. Adorno); producing an oeuvre in two separate languages simultaneously (Yoko Tawada); and mixing different languages, codes, and registers within one text (Feridun Zaimoglu).
Language Learner Narrative
Increasing numbers of people have contact with other cultures and languages. Language Learner Narrative examines representations of this phenomenon in literary texts using an applied linguistic approach. This analysis of written narratives of language learning and cross-cultural encounter complements objective studies in intercultural communication and second language acquisition research. Kant’s use of the term Mündigkeit in his essay “What is Enlightenment?” is used to frame the complex issues of language, identity, meaning and reality presented by the texts. Augmented by Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of linguistic capital, this framing forms a counterpoint to the positioning of these...
Heinrich von Kleist
The works and biography of Heinrich von Kleist have fascinated authors, artists, and philosophers for centuries, and his enduring relevance is evident in the emblematic role he has played for generations. Kleist’s prose works remain “utterly unique” seventy years after Thomas Mann described their singular appeal, his dramas remain “disturbingly current” four decades after E.L. Doctorow characterized their modernity, and twenty-first century readers need not read far before finding the unresolved questions of the current century in Kleist. Heinrich von Kleist: Artistic and Aesthetic Legacies explores examples of Kleist’s impact on artistic creations and aesthetic theory spanning over two centuries of seismic metaphysical crises and nightmare scenarios from Europe to Mexico to Japan to manifestations of the American Dream.
Scholarly Editing and German Literature: Revision, Revaluation, Edition
Scholarly Editing and German Literature: Revision, Revaluation, Edition offers international perspectives on the process, products and impacts of a commonly overlooked aspect of literary scholarship – scholarly editing contributions range from medieval to contemporary, correspondence to poetry, their forms from reports on works in progress to theoretical considerations. Bodo Plachta's observation that schools of scholarly editing in North America and Europe share a common origin and a basic set of common premises opens the volume and serves as an introduction to the five thematic groups: Material and Extralinguistic Elements and the Construction of Meaning, The Process of Editing and Editing Process, Edition and Commentary, Editing and Similar Second-Order Processes and Textual Creation, Edition and Canon(ization). Contributors: Peter Baltes, Kenneth Fockele, Nikolas Immer, Lydia Jones, Melanie Kage, Monika Lemmel, Claudia Liebrand, Ulrike Leuschner, Elizabeth Nijdam, Nina Nowakowski, Rüdiger Nutt-Kofoth, Gaby Pailer, Bodo Plachta, Jeremy Redlich, Annika Rockenberger, Catherine Karen Roy, Per Röcken, Johannes Traulsen, and Thomas Wortmann.
