About This Book

Der erste Teil «Afrika schreiben», zugleich Schwerpunktsetzung des Jahrbuchs, versammelt BeitrĂ€ge ĂŒber Afrikaverarbeitungen in der deutschen Literatur und im kulturellen GedĂ€chtnis, die bezeugen, dass der afrikanische Kontinent nicht erst seit seiner Kolonisierung zu Imaginationen im europĂ€ischen Raum gefĂŒhrt, sondern auch heute noch Relevanz hat. Der zweite Teil «Sprache und Übersetzung» setzt sich mit ZusammenhĂ€ngen von Sprache und Übersetzung sowie Fragen der Zugehörigkeit und IdentitĂ€t auseinander. Der dritte Teil enthĂ€lt eine Reihe von allgemeinen BeitrĂ€gen zu literarischen Verarbeitungen des Ersten Weltkriegs, zu Aspekten kultureller und jĂŒdischer IdentitĂ€t, aber auch zu IdentitĂ€tskonstruktionen in neuerer deutscher Literatur und Gegenwartsliteratur, genauso wie zu Lesekonventionen und Gattungsfragen. Der dritte Teil schließt mit einem Beitrag zu Felicitas Hoppe ab. Zudem wird in einem Interview mit der Georg-BĂŒchner-PreistrĂ€gerin von 2012, das im Anschluss zu lesen ist, ihr SĂŒdafrikabesuch im September 2014 gewĂŒrdigt.


The first part, entitled «Writing Africa», is devoted to the focus of this journal. It comprises contributions which analyse the writing of Africa in German literary texts and in cultural memory thereby demonstrating that the African continent has not only been subject to the European imagination since it was colonised, but still holds relevance there today. In the second part of this volume, namely «Language and Translation», contributions investigate the connection between language and translation and between belonging and identity. The third part contains a number of general articles, ranging from analyses of literary texts which were written about the First World War to aspects of cultural and Jewish identity as manifested in literary texts, from (de)constructions of identity in 20 th century and contemporary German literature to examining conventions of reading and questions of genre. The third part concludes with an article on Felicitas Hoppe, winner of the Georg-BĂŒchner-prize in 2012, followed by an interview with the author who visited South Africa in September 2014.
