Die ersten beiden Beitrage, die Briefe Therese von Bacherachts aus
Java sowie Alexander von Humboldts Bezug zu Afrika im Kontext des
19. Jahrhunderts untersuchen, zeigen, dass der afrikanische
Kontinent vielleicht mehr als jeder andere bis heute
stellvertretend fur weltweite imperiale und koloniale Bestrebungen
Europas angesehen werden kann. Weitere Analysen im ersten Teil
befassen sich mit wissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen zum
Kolonialkrieg in Namibia, einem weitgehend vergessenen Roman Arnold
Kriegers und einem aktuellen Krimi, der Gates Communities in
Sudafrika thematisiert. Es folgen Evaluationen der deutschen
UEbersetzung eines Textes von Wole Soyinka sowie einer
DaF-Unterrichtseinheit in Sudafrika zum Thema Polygamie. Im zweiten
Teil wird ein fast unbekannter Text von Johanna Spyri vorgestellt,
die Figur des John in Brechts Stuck Baal neu evaluiert und der
Versuch unternommen, Zugehoerigkeit auf ihre Validitat als
literarische Analysekategorie zu prufen. Kritische
Auseinandersetzungen mit Werken von W.G. Sebald und Felicitas Hoppe
beschliessen den Band. The first two contributions, which
investigate letters written by Therese von Bacheracht from Java as
well as Alexander von Humboldt's connection to Africa, both within
the context of the 19th century, demonstrate that the African more
than any other continent can perhaps be viewed as representative
for worldwide imperial and colonial European endeavours in the
past. Further contributions in the first part analyse critical
readings of the colonial war in Namibia, an almost forgotten novel
by Arnold Krieger as well as a contemporary crime novel, which
highlights gated communities in South Africa. Evaluations of the
German translation of a text by Wole Soyinka and of a teaching unit
on polygamy within the context of foreign language instruction in
South Africa follow. The second part presents general contributions
on an almost unknown text by Johanna Spyri, on the figure of John
in Brecht's play Baal as well as an attempt to examine belonging as
a valid literary category of analysis. Critical readings of works
by W.G. Sebald and Felicitas Hoppe conclude the volume.
