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.

Exile Studies
Exile Studies is a series of monographs and edited collections that takes a broad view of exile, including the life and work of refugees from National Socialism, and beyond. The series explores the different global and cultural spaces of exile and refuge as well as the specific historical, political and social concerns of exile writers and artists. The series engages with recent theoretical approaches to exile to shed new light on the unique conditions of mass flight from National Socialist persecution, with a particular interest in the work of Jewish refugees of the period. A plurality of theoretical approaches is encouraged, featuring research that reaches beyond national frameworks or disciplinary boundaries and takes multi-directional, transcultural or comparative approaches. The series aims to make connections to studies on more recent groups of refugees and to contribute to current debates. Themes include persecution, exclusion and delocalization, legacies of displacement, loss and acculturation as well as the creation of new homes and networks. The series promotes dialogue among transnational, Jewish and memory studies, and among diaspora, Holocaust and postcolonial studies. It invites research that acknowledges questions of gender, race, class, religion and ethnicity as indispensable tools for understanding the cultural processes connected to the lives and works of refugees and exiles.
