The Poetry of Class
In the early 19th century, a new social collective emerged out of impoverished artisans, urban rabble, wandering rural lower classes, bankrupt aristocrats and precarious intellectuals, one that would soon be called the proletariat. But this did not yet exist as a unified, homogeneous class with affiliated political parties. The motley appearance, the dreams and longings of these figures, torn from all economic certainties, found new forms of narration in romantic novellas, reportages, social-statistical studies, and monthly bulletins. But soon enough, these disorderly, violent, nostalgic, errant, and utopian figures were denigrated as reactionary and anarchic by the heads of the labour movement, since they did not fit into their grand linear vision of progress. In this book, Patrick Eiden-Offe tells their story, tracing the making of the proletariat in Vörmarz Germany (1815–1848) through the writings of figures like Ludwig Tieck, Moses Hess, Wilhelm Weitling, Georg Weerth, Friedrich Engels, Louise Otto-Peters, Ernst Willkomm, and Georg Büchner, and in so doing, revealing a striking similarity to the disorderly classes of today.
Genealogical Fictions
Moving through time, he uncovers often-unsuspected novelistic continuities and international transformations and echoes, from Maria Edgeworth's Castle Rackrent, published in 1800, to G. Tomasi di Lampedusa's 1958 book Il Gattopardo.By revealing the "family resemblance" of novels from Great Britain, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Brazil, this volume shows how genealogical narratives take on special significance in contexts of cultural periphery. Welge links private and public histories, while simultaneously integrating detailed accounts of various literary fields across the globe. In combining theories of the novel, recent discussions of cultural geography, and new approaches to genealogical narratives, Genealogical Fictions addresses a significant part of European and Latin American literary history in which texts from different national cultures illuminate each other in unsuspected ways and reveal the repetition, as well as the variation, among them.
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.

Akademisches Lesen
Lesen ist die Grundlage akademischer Wissenserzeugung und wird an den Hochschulen vorwiegend durch wissenschaftliche Bibliotheken organisiert. Das akademische Lesen zeichnet sich dabei durch spezifische Leistungen und Anforderungen aus, die über die verfügbaren Lesemöglichkeiten, -praktiken und -medien adressiert werden. Obwohl sich die erlernten Lesefähigkeiten, die routinierten Lesepraktiken und etablierten Lesemedien mit der Digitalisierung nachhaltig verändert haben, sind die damit verbundenen Konsequenzen für Studierende, Lehrende und Forschende kaum erforscht. Der Band fragt deshalb in interdisziplinärer Perspektive danach, was wir eigentlich über wissenschaftliche Lesekompetenzen, Lesepraktiken und Bibliotheken im Kontext digitaler Entwicklungen in den letzten Jahren wissen.
Novel Affinities
Challenges traditional novel scholarship that emphasizes the individual and the Bildungsroman, broadening the focus to the family and both canonical and non-canonical novels, reading them together with biological, legal and pedagogical texts.

Christian Kracht‘s Aesthetics
The contributions to this volume are devoted to Christian Kracht's aesthetics under two main aspects: On the one hand, with regard to sometimes irritatingly twisted actualizations of that self-reference and reservation which, since Kant, is to be evaluated as a central mode of the aesthetic; on the other hand, with regard to interferences with areas that are usually perceived as extra-aesthetic, but which can be evaluated as ferments of contemporary aesthetics: Stagings in the field of the literary establishment, the aesthetic under media and market conditions, and in the focus of canonization and criticism. Kracht's Frankfurt Poetics Lectures, which were intensively commented on by the media, form the background to this discussion.

Grenzgänger des 20. Jahrhunderts
Heinrich Hauser (1901–1955) gehört zu den ungewöhnlichsten Autoren des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts. In einzigartiger Weise hat er die Rollen des Schriftstellers, Journalisten, Fotografen und Filmemachers mit denen des Reisenden, Arbeiters und Technikers verbunden. Der Sammelband präsentiert neue Forschungen zu dem Grenzgänger zwischen Literatur, Journalismus und Reportage, aber auch der Kunst und der Welt der Maschinen. Sein vielschichtiges Werk und seine hochproduktive Existenz verbanden die Zeiten vom deutschen Kaiserreich bis zur Bundesrepublik. Nach großen Erfolgen in den Weimarer Jahren wurde Hausers Leben vom Nationalsozialismus erschüttert, zu dem er sich ambivalent verhielt. Ste...
