Weighs the value of Germanophone culture, and its study, in an age
of globalization, transnationalism, and academic change. The study
of German-language culture has been rapidly diversifying to express
the vibrant multiplicity of what it is now possible to research,
and teach, under the rubric of "German Studies." Responding to
these developments, German in the World explores what happens when
the geographic, linguistic, and temporal boundaries that have
traditionally been used to define German-language culture are
questioned, and are placed alongside more global perspectives.
Chapters consider the transformation of the German-language
cultural canon through its engagement with the world, trace the
value of German Studies as an interdisciplinary subject practiced
across different global locations, and investigate the impact of
both on the work of organizations and practitioners entirely beyond
the academy. In questioning where German-language culture can be
found across these different "worlds," German in the World thus
uncovers the continued value of German Studies as a field of
critical cultural discourse within a globalized public sphere,
placing that culture at the heart of debates on Transnational and
World Literature. Ultimately, the contributions to this innovative
volume demonstrate how attempts to locate German Studies in its
wider geographic and social contexts result not in a discipline
undone, but in a discipline reinvigorated and transformed.
