Questions of genres as well as their possible definitions,
taxonomies, and functions have been discussed since antiquity. Even
though categories of genre today are far from being fixed, they
have for decades been upheld without question. The goal of this
volume is to problematize traditional definitions of poetic genres
and to situate them in a broader socio-cultural, historical, and
theoretical context. The contributions encompass numerous
methodological approaches (including hermeneutics,
poststructuralism, reception theory, cultural studies, gender
studies), periods (Romanticism, Modernism, Postmodernism), genres
(elegy, sonnet, visual poetry, performance poetry, hip hop) as well
as languages and national literatures. From this interdisciplinary
and multi-methodological perspective, genres, periods, languages,
and literatures are put into fruitful dialogue, new perspectives
are discovered, and suggestions for further research are provided.
