Der Begriff 'Anspruche der Literatur' ist Programm: Er steht fur einen Literaturunterricht und eine Literaturdidaktik, die sich deutlich vom dominierenden Diskurs der Kompetenzorientierung und Funktionalisierung schulischen Lernens absetzen. Die Beitrage dieses Bandes stellen das Abenteuer der Textbegegnung wieder in den Mittelpunkt eines Literaturunterrichts, dessen Ergebnis nicht im Voraus festlegbar ist. Dieser literar-asthetische Zugang beruht auf einer genauen Textlekture, die sich jedes einzelnen Wortes, seiner Struktur und seiner sprachlichen Verfremdungen annimmt, die aber ebenso aufmerksam die eigenen Reaktionen auf den Text registriert und diese schliesslich in Beziehung zur Sprache des Textes selbst bringt. Das Ergebnis ist ein Literaturunterricht, der den Lernenden und den literarischen Werken gleichermassen gerecht wird.
