The Right to Difference
Develops a theory of intercultural literature to reconcile diversity with traditional notions of German identity
Border Visions
Over the last several decades, the boundaries of languages and national and ethnic identities have been shifting, altering the notion of borders around the world. Borderland areas, such as East and West Europe, the US/Mexican frontera, and the Middle East, serve as places of cultural transfer and exchange, as well as arenas of violent conflict and segregation. As communities around the world merge across national borders, new multi-ethnic and multicultural countries have become ever more common. Border Visions: Identity and Diaspora in Film offers an overview of global cinema that addresses borders as spaces of hybridity and change. In this collection of essays, contributors examine how cine...
Stillness of the Sea
Concerned with a war-crimes trial in the Hague, and the continuing conflict between the past and the present, this novel is an outstanding achievement in human and literary terms.
Germans Going Global
Germans Going Global is the first monograph in English to address in depth the interrelatedness between contemporary German literature and globalization. In an interdisciplinary framework and through detailed readings of a wide variety of texts, the study shows how the challenges globalization has posed for Germany over the last two decades have been manifested and reimagined in aesthetic production. Analyses of the literary marketplace and public debates illuminate the more material sides of this development. The study also analyzes the ways in which German-language writers born between 1955 and 1975, such as Chr. Kracht, Th. Meinecke, J. Hermann, S. Berg, F. Illies, K. Röggla, J. v. Düff...
Transnationalism in Contemporary German-language Literature
"Transnationalism" has become a key term in debates in the social sciences and humanities, reflecting concern with today's unprecedented flows of commodities, fashions, ideas, and people across national borders. Forced and unforced mobility, intensified cross-border economic activity due to globalization, and the rise of trans- and supranational organizations are just some of the ways in which we now live both within, across, and beyond national borders. Literature has always been a means of border crossing and transgression-whether by tracing physical movement, reflecting processes of cultural transfer, traveling through space and time, or mapping imaginary realms. It is also becoming more ...

Wertedebatte: Von Leitkultur bis kulturelle Integration
Die Debatte um die Werte, die unsere Gesellschaft zusammenhalten und auf die sich die Mehrheit der in Deutschland Lebenden beziehen, gleicht einer Fieberkurve. Mal geht die Temperatur hoch, hitzig, fieberhaft wird diskutiert, gestritten, polemisiert, was erlaubt ist, was in Deutschland üblich ist, wer was tun muss, um dazugehören, wie unsere Leitkultur auszusehen hat. Dann wieder sinkt die Temperatur der Debatte etwas. Es finden mehr sachliche Diskussionen statt, die sich durch ernsthaftes Nachdenken und eine kritische Reflexion auszeichnen. Die Wertedebatte gehört ohne Zweifel zu den wichtigsten Diskussionen der letzten Jahre. Die sogenannte Flüchtlingskrise hat diese Debatte noch ei...
Ost-Geschichten
Die öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit, die den literarischen Kulturen des östlichen Mitteleuropa mittlerweile zukommt und die sich auch in den Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaften spiegelt, hat noch kaum in den literaturdidaktischen Diskurs Eingang gefunden. Demgegenüber bildet an unseren Schulen eine aus den Staaten der östlichen Hälfte Mitteleuropas zugewanderte Schülerschaft die größte Gruppe innerhalb einer nach wie vor wachsenden Zahl von Schüler_innen mit Migrationshintergrund. Im Rahmen der interkulturellen Literaturdidaktik präsentiert der Band vielfältige Zugänge und Anknüpfungspunkte für die Vermittlung und Behandlung literarischer Texte aus und über Ostmitteleuropa in Schul...
