Metrical Claims and Poetic Experience
This volume contributes to the fields of lyric poetry and poetics (especially poetic form), aesthetics, and German literature by intervening in debates on the social functions, cognitive and emotional effects, and the value of poetry. It builds on, and moves beyond, previous theories of rhythm to tie meter more particularly to the specificities of poetic language in blending of embodied responses, cultural situations, and linguistic particularities. The book examines the German-language tradition across three centuries, arguing that the interdisciplinarity and richness of metrical theory and practice emerge in the heterogeneity of poetry and its defenders in their specific historical moments...
The Palgrave Handbook of Affect Studies and Textual Criticism
This volume provides a comprehensive account of how scholarship on affect and scholarship on texts have come to inform one another over the past few decades. The result has been that explorations of how texts address, elicit, shape, and dramatize affect have become central to contemporary work in literary, film, and art criticism, as well as in critical theory, rhetoric, performance studies, and aesthetics. Guiding readers to the variety of topics, themes, interdisciplinary dialogues, and sub-disciplinary specialties that the study of interplay between affect and texts has either inaugurated or revitalized, the handbook showcases and engages the diversity of scholarly topics, approaches, and projects that thinking of affect in relation to texts and related media open up or enable. These include (but are not limited to) investigations of what attention to affect brings to established methods of studying texts—in terms of period, genre, cultural contexts, rhetoric, and individual authorship.
Animals, Machines, and AI
Sentient animals, machines, and robots abound in German literature and culture, but there has been surprisingly limited scholarship on non-human life forms in German studies. This volume extends interdisciplinary research in emotion studies to examine non-humans and the affective relationships between humans and non-humans in modern German cultural history. In recent years, fascination with emotions, developments in robotics, and the burgeoning of animal studies in and beyond the academy have given rise to questions about the nature of humanity. Using sources from the life sciences, literature, visual art, poetry, philosophy, and photography, this collection interrogates not animal or machin...

Realism: Aesthetics, Experiments, Politics
Realism seems to be everywhere, both as a trending critical term and as a revitalized aesthetic practice. This volume brings together for the first time three aspects that are pertinent for a proper understanding of realism: its 19th-century aesthetics committed to making reality into an object of serious art; the experiments with and against realism by 20th-century modernist, postmodernist, or magical realist writing; and the politics of realism, especially its ambitions to map the complex realities produced by global capitalism and climate catastrophe. This juxtaposition of aesthetics, experiments, and politics unsettles the entrenched opposition between realism and experimental literature...
Universality After Universalism
The idea of universalism inherited from the French Revolution has been strongly discredited by its colonial history; today, it is also the target of nationalist attacks. What remains of it? Now available in English, Markus Messling's critically acclaimed study shows how contemporary Francophone literatures seek, after European universalism, approaches to a new universality, without which knowledge and justice cannot be organised in world society. With a foreword by Souleymane Bachir Diagne
Rhyme and Rhyming in Verbal Art, Language, and Song
This collection of thirteen chapters answers new questions about rhyme, with views from folklore, ethnopoetics, the history of literature, literary criticism and music criticism, psychology and linguistics. The book examines rhyme as practiced or as understood in English, Old English and Old Norse, German, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish and Karelian, Estonian, Medieval Latin, Arabic, and the Central Australian language Kaytetye. Some authors examine written poetry, including modernist poetry, and others focus on various kinds of sung poetry, including rap, which now has a pioneering role in taking rhyme into new traditions. Some authors consider the relation of rhyme to other types of form, notably alliteration. An introductory chapter discusses approaches to rhyme, and ends with a list of languages whose literatures or song traditions are known to have rhyme.
Die Verwandlung von Paris
Für Leben und Werk des Dichters und Kunstkritikers Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867) spielt Paris, das mit den baulichen Veränderungen unter Napoleon III. und Haussmann zur Metropole wird, eine zentrale Rolle. Baudelaire entwirft Denkbilder städtischer Moderne, wenn er etwa die Anschauung der Menge in eine bedrohliche Meereskulisse verwandelt. Das Ich, vorgestellt im Gefährt des Schiffes, droht unterzugehen. Die Beiträge des Bandes stellen Baudelaires Analyse zeitgenössischer Lebenswelt neu vor. Dabei finden rezeptionsgeschichtliche Perspektiven auf sein Werk ebenso Berücksichtigung wie die grundsätzliche und aktuelle Frage, welche Rolle dichterische, besonders lyrische Sprache für die Ausbildung von kritischem Bewusstsein und differenziertem Sprachvermögen spielt.
Rational urteilen und entscheiden
Das Buch ist Ergebnis und erweiterte Zusammenstellung jahrelanger Vortrags- und Lehrtätigkeit zu Schlüsselqualifikationen im weitesten Sinne. Der Verfasser hat es gewagt, immer weiter in das für ihn zunächst fremde, aber äußerst aufregende und fruchtbare Reich der Psychologie einzudringen. Das schlichte Ziel: Die vielfältigen und äußerst nützlichen Erkenntnisse der Psychologie auch in der (juristischen) Praxis zielführend einsetzen zu können.
