Deutsch-ostasiatische Studien zur interkulturellen Literaturwissenschaft

ISSN: 1660-8682

Germanistik als eine der Nationalphilologien wird in Europa zumeist auf sprach- und/oder literaturwissenschaftlicher Grundlage betrieben. In Ostasien dagegen beschäftigt man sich nicht nur mit der deutschen Sprache und Literatur, sondern auch mit vielen anderen Bereichen der deutschsprachigen Kultur. Deshalb ist die sogenannte Auslandsgermanistik zumindest in Ostasien nicht so sehr als Philologie, sondern eher als Kulturwissenschaft im Sinne von "cultural studies" zu begreifen. Ihre fachwissenschaftliche Arbeit beginnt üblicherweise mit der Übersetzung, die schon eine Menge geschichtlicher, landeskundlicher und soziologisch-mentalitätshistorischer Kenntnisse voraussetzt. Sie findet ihren interkulturellen Status zunehmend dadurch, daß vermehrt interdisziplinäre, vor allem kulturwissenschaftliche Aspekte einbezogen werden. Wissenschaftsgeschichtlich spielten die japanischen Germanisten eine vermittelnde Zubringerrolle für den internen germanistischen und ästhetischen Kulturaustausch in Ostasien.

Kulturelle Identitäten. Studien zur Entwicklung der europäischen Kulturen der Neuzeit / Cultural Identities. Studies in Early Modern and Modern European Cultures

Die Geschichte der europäischen Neuzeit wird geprägt von der Herausbildung von Nationalstaaten, die kontinuierlich unter Bildung jeweils wechselnder Allianzen in militärische, konfessionelle, kulturelle und wirtschaftliche Konkurrenz um die Vorherrschaft in Europa und außerhalb dessen in Konkurrenz treten. Diese Buchreihe bietet ein Forum für Studien, die kulturelle Ausdrucksformen und Institutionen von Nationalstaaten einerseits kontrastiv untersuchen, um diese aus ihren historischen und gesellschaftlichen Bedingungen besser verstehen zu können. Ziel der Reihe ist es, durch Sammelbände und Monographien Beträge zu einer schärfer profilierten neuzeitlichen Kulturgeschichte zu versammeln und dadurch zum einen den nationalkulturellen Entwicklungen gerecht zu werden und zum anderen den europäischen Dialog zwischen den Nationalkulturen darzustellen, der die Vielfalt und Dynamik der neuzeitlichen europäischen Kultur herausgebracht hat.
