This book proposes that there is no better, no more complex way to
access a community, a society, an era and its cultures than through
literature. For millennia, literature from a wide variety of
geocultural areas has gathered knowledge about life, about
survival, and about living together, without either falling into
discursive or disciplinary specializations or functioning as a
regulatory mechanism for cultural knowledge. Literature is able to
offer its readers knowledge through direct participation in the
form of step-by-step intellectual and affective experiences.
Through this ability, it can reach and affect audiences across
great spatial and temporal distances. Literature - what different
times and cultures have been able to understand as such in a broad
sense - has always been characterized by its transareal and
transcultural origins and effects. It is the product of many
logics, and it teaches us to think polylogically rather than
monologically. Literature is an experiment in living, and living in
a state of experimentation. About the author Ottmar Ette has been
Chair of Romance Literature at the University of Potsdam, Germany,
since 1995. He is Honorary Member of the Modern Language
Association of America (MLA) (elected in 2014), member of the
Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities (elected in
2013), and regular member of the Academia Europaea (since 2010).
