Challenging the myth of monolingualism
\"Despite the fact that transnational movement and intercultural encounter are the signs of our present time, questions of belonging and legitimation of citizenship in most West-European countries still largely depend on monolingual norms and the problematic conflation of the idea of a national language with that of the mother tongue. This volume explores literary negotiations of and challenges to this powerful myth of monolingualism in various, mostly West-European cultural contexts. The focus of these explorations ranges from the ethics of mono- and multilingualism and the persistent ideology of nativity and the native speaker, to multilingual strategies and the trials and tribulations of translating multilingual texts. The volume also contains contributions by awarded literary writers, such as Yoko Tawada, Ramsey Nasr, Chika Unigwe and Fouad Laroui: texts that demonstrate the creative multiplicity of language and the disruptive potential of multilingualism in action.\"--Cover p. 4.

Multilingual Philology and Monolingual Faust: Theoretical Perspectives and a Reading of Goethe's Drama
This paper conceptualizes multilingual philology as a method for reconstructing and interpreting the interplay of the manifold forms of multilingualism to be found in literary texts—including texts generally considered monolingual. From a philological point of view, it demonstrates the functional equivalence between linguistic and rhetorical constraints governing textual structures and shows how their thorough analysis can help to investigate the (subversive or affirmative) politico-cultural agency of literature. The effectiveness of this method is demonstrated through a reading of Goethe's Faust.

Handbuch Medien der Literatur
Mehr und mehr werden die Fragen nach den medialen und medientechnischen Bedingungen von Literatur in den literaturwissenschaftlichen Curricula verankert – zumal im Zuge der Umstrukturierung der Studiengänge. Gleichwohl fehlt auf dem Buchmarkt bislang ein Handbuch, das Studierenden sowie Fachwissenschaftlern auf diesem nur schwer zu überblickenden Arbeitsfeld Orientierung bietet. Zwar liegen Standardwerke zur Medientheorie bzw. Mediengeschichte vor; es gibt jedoch einen steigenden Bedarf an einer Überblicksdarstellung, die diese Forschungsgebiete in ihrem Bezug auf Literatur erfasst. Das Handbuch schließt diese Lücke und informiert umfassend über die Medien der literarischen Texte einerseits sowie andererseits über die Medien der literarischen Kommunikation. Es bietet eine Bestandsaufnahme des aktuellen Forschungsstandes auf diesem Gebiet und stellt daher für angehende ebenso wie für erfahrene Literatur- und Buch-, aber auch Theater-, Film-, Medien- und Kulturwissenschaftler eine wichtige Informationsgrundlage bereit.

Vers und Lyrik
The article provides a critical review of recent theories on lyric poetry, and develops a new concept that describes what lyric poetry is, taking account of the rightly claimed conceptual incommensurability of this genre. The proposed concept of lyric poetry is historically specific, but has systematic consequences for genre theory in general. Lyric poetry is described as an evolutionary developing sequence rather than as a set of texts - and the article claims that any genre should be described that way. The sequence, henceforward called lyric poetry, was constituted in the 18th century when a loosely connected bundle of versified forms came to be treated as one genre. Ever since, lyric poetry has participated in the self-programming of literature as an autonomous art. It develops by experimenting with forms of segmenting speech, making use of different levels of the linguistic structure. The re-description of lyric poetry finally leads to suggestions for a more nuanced and historically sensitive formal analysis of poems.
