Shikwa-e-Hind
Roughly 200 million today, Indian Muslims are greater than the population of Britain and France or Germany put together. According to the Indian Constitution, Indian Muslims are treated as political equals, which is what India’s secular polity promised after its independence, encouraging more than 35 million Indian Muslims at the time of Partition to choose India as their motherland over Pakistan. However, the supposed relationship of equality between Hindus and Muslims as scripted in the constitution is being increasingly replaced by the domineering tendencies of a Hindu majority in India today. The author describes the current state and position of Indian Muslims (the seeds for which wer...
The History of German Literature on Film
This book tells the story of German-language literature on film, beginning with pioneering motion picture adaptations of Faust in 1897 and early debates focused on high art as mass culture. It explores, analyzes and contextualizes the so-called 'golden age' of silent cinema in the 1920s, the impact of sound on adaptation practices, the abuse of literary heritage by Nazi filmmakers, and traces the role of German-language literature in exile and postwar films, across ideological boundaries in divided Germany, in New German Cinema, and in remakes and movies for cinema as well as television and streaming services in the 21st century. Having provided the narrative core to thousands of films since...
History Continues
Decades after Francis Fukuyama's 'end of history' thesis became famous, the conflicts and turmoil of history have returned; Dr. Kicmari, having seen his own native land erupt in a European civil war in the 1990s, has been thinking about these issues for many years. This book highlights the return of ideology to international relations, presenting harsh ideological models which challenge liberal democracy. This becomes even more relevant in light of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The publication of this book aims to draw attention to the danger posed to world peace by ideological models alongside the need for commitment to strengthen democracy in the world, and should interest diplomats, journalists, and scholars.
Merkantiles Erzählen – Von Kauf und Verkauf in mittelhochdeutscher Literatur
Die Arbeit widmet sich der Frage, wie eine Beschreibung von Marktszenen in vormoderner Literatur zu leisten ist, ohne diese im Spiegel moderner wirtschaftswissenschaftlicher Grundannahmen zu verallgemeinern. Der Begriff der Wirtschaft wird daher weitestgehend vermieden, zugunsten der begrifflichen Schärfung des ‚Merkantilen‘ als konkret fassbare Sphäre spezifischer Praktiken. In Kapiteln zu einzelnen Lexem wird die semantische Einbettung und Metaphorizität solch merkantil relevanter Begriffe erörtert, um in den Analysen von acht mittelhochdeutschen Einzeltexten (Der Marktdieb, Die zwei Märkte, Der Krämer, Der Pfaffe Amis, Josefsgeschichte in der Weltchronik des Johans von Wien, Flo...
Zeitschrift für interkulturelle Germanistik
Die Zeitschrift für interkulturelle Germanistik (ZiG) trägt dem Umstand Rechnung, dass sich in der nationalen und internationalen Germanistik Interkulturalität als eine leitende und innovative Forschungskategorie etabliert hat. Sie greift aktuelle Fragestellungen im Bereich der germanistischen Literatur-, Kultur- und Sprachwissenschaft auf und möchte dazu beitragen, die unterschiedlichen Tendenzen und Trends der Interkulturalitätsforschung zu bündeln und ihre theoretischen Voraussetzungen weiter zu vertiefen. Insofern das Forschungsparadigma der Interkulturalität prinzipiell nicht mehr einzelfachlich gedacht werden kann, versteht sich die Zeitschrift bewusst als ein interdisziplinär und komparatistisch offenes Organ, das sich im internationalen Wissenschaftskontext verortet sieht. Die ZiG erscheint zweimal jährlich.

Feminist Circulations between East and West/Feministische Zirkulationen zwischen Ost und West
Feminist ideas, theories, and people move. In this volume, scholars in cultural and literary studies discuss circulations of feminist and queer positions between East and West. Working on activism in Eastern Europe, on East European literatures, and on literature in German written by authors coming from Eastern Europe, the contributors discuss how parameters of heterogeneity such as gender, sexuality, and origin are treated in different literary, social, and political contexts. Hence, research on queer activism in Ukraine and feminism in Russia are put in conversation with readings of Olga Grjasnowa, Sasha Marianna Salzmann, and Olga Tokarczuk.
