The Modernist Revolution in World Literature

ISSN: 1528-9672

In the stormy time period approximately between the Paris Commune in 1871 and the revolutionary events in May 1968, or between the conclusion of the American Civil War and the withdrawal of American troops from Vietnam, the rise and fall of international modernism was crucial to all historical, political, and intellectual de-velopments around the world. By the time the United States had emerged from its military involvement in Indo-China, the modernist movement had given way to postmodernism. This series investigates the development of international modern-ism in the half century leading up to World War I and its disintegration in the fol-lowing fifty years. High modernism claimed that it represented a break with corrupt values of previous cultural traditions, but we now think that this very drive to “make it new” is itself derivative. What are the roots and characteristics of modernism? How did the philosophical and pedagogical system supporting modernism develop? Is mod-ernism, perhaps, not a liberating movement but a device to shield high culture from rising democratic vulgarization? What is the role of modernism in postcolonial struggles? Where does feminism fall in the modernist agenda? How do changing systems of patronage and the economy of art influence modernism as an enor-mously expanded reading public becomes augmented by cinema, radio, and televi-sion? Such questions on a worldwide stage, in the century approximately from 1870 to 1970, in all manifestations of literature, art, politics, and culture, represent the scope of this series In the stormy time period approximately between the Paris Commune in 1871 and the revolutionary events in May 1968, or between the conclusion of the American Civil War and the withdrawal of American troops from Vietnam, the rise and fall of international modernism was crucial to all historical, political, and intellectual de-velopments around the world.

Kontraste/Contrastes

Cette collection est conçue comme un forum à destination des germanistes francophones et des francoromanistes germanophones travaillant en linguistique contrastive et désireux de publier des résultats de recherche innovants. Les objets de recherche peuvent concerner tous les niveaux d’analyse traditionnels en linguistique, du mot à la phrase et du texte au discours. Dépourvue ’d’apriori méthodologiques, cette collection attache une grande importance au fondement empirique des travaux présentés, par exemple à travers une définition rigoureuse du tertium comparationis et le recours à des corpus pertinents qu’il s’agisse de textes parallèles (traduits) ou de textes comparables. Des travaux d’inspiration traductologique autour du couple de langues francais-allemand sont également les bienvenus. Peuvent être acceptés, en français et en allemand, aussi bien les monographies (y compris les thèses de doctorats et les habilitations) que les ouvrages collectifs (y compris les actes de colloques à la condition sine qua non d’avoir fait l’objet d’un travail éditorial approfondi garantissant une cohérence à l’ensemble). Tous les manuscrits feront l’objet d’une expertise en aveugle par le comité scientifique. Comité scientifique : Colette Cortès (Paris-Diderot) Martine Dalmas (Sorbonne Université) Eva Martha Eckkrammer (Mannheim) Jacques François (Caen) Daniel Jacob (Freiburg im Breisgau) Eva Lavric (Innsbruck) Antje Lobin (Mainz) Michael Schreiber (Germersheim) Die Reihe bietet deutschsprachigen Frankoromanisten bzw. französischsprachigen Germanisten, die kontrastiv arbeiten, ein Forum zur Verbreitung hochwertiger Forschungsergebnisse im Bereich des deutsch-französischen Sprach- und Diskursvergleiches. Die jeweiligen Untersuchungsgegenstände können auf allen traditionellen linguistischen Beschreibungsebenen angesiedelt sein: Wort, Satz, Äußerung, Text und Diskurs. Methodologisch offen legt die Reihe eine besondere Aufmerksamkeit auf die empirische Fundierung der angebotenen Arbeiten, etwa durch ein genau definiertes tertium comparationis und durch den Rückgriff auf aussagekräftige parallele (d.h. übersetzte) bzw. vergleichbare Korpora. Übersetzungswissenschaftlich angelegte Studien zum Sprachenpaar Deutsch-Französisch sind auch willkommen. Aufgenommen werden können Manuskripte auf Deutsch bzw. Französisch, in Form von Monographien (auch Qualifikationsarbeiten) und Sammelbänden (Tagungsakten werden nur berücksichtigt, wenn eine editorische Nachbearbeitung seitens des Bandherausgebers vorliegt und der Band als kohärentes Ganzes erscheint). Alle Manuskripte werden vom wissenschaftlichen Beirat anonym begutachtet.
