The Postcolonial World presents an overview of the field and
extends critical debate in exciting new directions. It provides an
important and timely reappraisal of postcolonialism as an
aesthetic, political, and historical movement, and of postcolonial
studies as a multidisciplinary, transcultural field. Essays map the
terrain of the postcolonial as a global phenomenon at the
intersection of several disciplinary inquiries. Framed by an
introductory chapter and a concluding essay, the eight sections
examine: Affective, Postcolonial Histories Postcolonial Desires
Religious Imaginings Postcolonial Geographies and Spatial Practices
Human Rights and Postcolonial Conflicts Postcolonial Cultures and
Digital Humanities Ecocritical Inquiries in Postcolonial Studies
Postcolonialism versus Neoliberalism The Postcolonial World looks
afresh at re-emerging conditions of postcoloniality in the
twenty-first century and draws on a wide range of representational
strategies, cultural practices, material forms, and affective
affiliations. The volume is an essential reading for scholars and
students of postcolonialism.

"Reframing Postcolonial Studies addresses the urgent issues that
Black Lives Matter has raised with respect to everyday material
practices and the frameworks in which our knowledge and cultural
heritage are conceptualized and stored. Thebook points urgently to
the many ways in which our society must reinvent itself to enable
equitable justice for all."- Robert J.C. Young, Julius Professor of
English and Comparative Literature, New York University, USA
"Drawing on urban theory, art history, literary analysis,
environmental humanities and linguistics, this book is ambitious
and wide-ranging, asking us what it is to live creatively and
critically with the residues of colonial appropriation and
sedimentation while in open dialogue with the subjects who still
live in its wake." - Tamar Garb, Durning Lawrence Professor in
History of Art, University College London, UK This book constitutes
a collective action to examine what foundational concepts,
interdisciplinary methodologies, and activist concerns are pivotal
for the future of common humanity, as we bear the weight of our
postcolonial inheritance in the twenty-first century. Written by
scholars of different generations, the chapters interrogate how
current intellectual endeavors are in contact with individual and
community-based actions outside of the academy. Going beyond the
perennial debates on the tension between theory and praxis or on
the disparity between activism and scholarship, they examine
literary texts, visual artworks, language and immigration policies,
public monuments, museum exhibitions, moral dilemmas, and political
movements to deepen our contemporary postcolonial action on the
edge of conceptual thinking, methodological experimentation, and
scholarly activism. Reframing Postcolonial Studies is the first
volume whose rationale is formulated in explicitly
intergenerational, future-oriented terms.

Deutsche Literatur wird nicht ausschliesslich in deutscher Sprache
geschrieben und gelesen. Literatur macht nicht an Grenzen Halt, und
das Deutsche ist in sich von zahlreichen regionalen
Binnenunterscheidungen durchzogen. Die Darstellung solcher
Vielfaltigkeit uberfordert konzeptionell eine nationale
Literaturgeschichtsschreibung. Dieser Band eroertert daher im
Anschluss an neuere historiographische Ansatze Moeglichkeiten
literaturwissenschaftlicher Globalgeschichtsschreibung. Er
eroeffnet eine Methodendiskussion daruber, wie sich philologische
Analysen, mediale Fragen und soziologische Perspektiven auf
Buchmarkt, Literaturbetrieb und Literaturwissenschaft verbinden
lassen. An Beispielen rund um den Globus prufen die Artikel die
Pramissen gangiger Literaturgeschichte und erproben Alternativen.
Zugang zu Globalisierungsprozessen >deutscher Literatur<
sucht der Band im Ausgang von unterschiedlichen Fachern: neben
Beitragen der internationalen Germanistiken sind auch
Komparatistik, Fremdsprachenphilologien, Buchwissenschaft,
Postkoloniale Studien und Digital Humanities vertreten.
Cosmopolitan Parables explores the global rise of the heavily
debated concept of cosmopolitanism from a unique German literary
perspective. Since the early 1990s, the notion of cosmopolitanism
has acquired a new salience because of an alarming rise in
nationalism, xenophobia, migration, international war, and
genocide. This uprising has transformed how artists and scholars
within every geopolitical context assess the power of an
international civil society, resulting in a moral obligation to
unite regardless of cultural background, religious affiliation, or
national citizenship. It rejuvenates an ancient yet timely
framework within which contemporary political crises are to be
overcome, especially after the collapse of communist states and the
intersection of postwar and postcolonial trajectories. To exemplify
this global challenge, Kim examines three internationally acclaimed
writers of German origin - Hans Christoph Buch, Michael Kruger, and
W. G. Sebald - joined by their own harrowing experiences and
stunning entanglements of Holocaust memory, postcolonial
responsibility, and communist legacy. This bold new study is the
first of its kind, interrogating transnational memories of trauma
alongside globally shared responsibilities for justice. More
important, it addresses the question of remembrance - whether the
colonial past or the postwar legacy serves as a proper foundation
upon which cosmopolitanism is to be pursued in today's era of
globalization.
Though Georg Simmel considered himself a philosopher, his
intellectual influence went well beyond the confines of one
academic discipline at the turn of the last century. His writings
on money, modernity, and the metropolis, as well as the artwork,
female culture, and psychologism, left a significant mark on
contemporaries like Walter Benjamin, Wilhelm Worringer, and Max
Weber. Nevertheless, his name soon disappeared from public memory
and scholarly discourse. In Georg Simmel in Translation, scholars
from the Humanities and the Social Sciences cut through time and
space to illustrate ways in which Simmel was, and still is, carried
from one context to another. From Imperial Berlin to contemporary
Singapore, they trace Simmel's transgression of disciplinary
boundaries in culture and modernity. The collected essays also
explore the transformed presence of his scholarship in the works of
more well-known artists, writers, and intellectuals between the
second half of the nineteenth century and today.
