The Literature and Poetry of Exile

ISSN: 1077-0194

This series aims to publish literary and poetic texts, as well as studies, commentaries, and interpretations of the experiences and reactions to exile. The purpose of the series is to encourage responses to those enigmatic but essential questions: What is the meaning of exile? What imaginative and concrete imagery does it evoke? This series is committed to the belief that exile is a fundamental characteristic of our age and bears witness to its existential reality. We want this series to provide a forum for writers in exile and to make it possible for their voices to be heard.

Exile Studies

Exile Studies is a series of monographs and edited collections that takes a broad view of exile, including the life and work of refugees from National Socialism, and beyond. The series explores the different global and cultural spaces of exile and refuge as well as the specific historical, political and social concerns of exile writers and artists. The series engages with recent theoretical approaches to exile to shed new light on the unique conditions of mass flight from National Socialist persecution, with a particular interest in the work of Jewish refugees of the period. A plurality of theoretical approaches is encouraged, featuring research that reaches beyond national frameworks or disciplinary boundaries and takes multi-directional, transcultural or comparative approaches. The series aims to make connections to studies on more recent groups of refugees and to contribute to current debates. Themes include persecution,　exclusion and delocalization, legacies of displacement, loss and acculturation as well as the creation of new homes and networks. The series promotes dialogue among transnational, Jewish and memory studies, and among diaspora, Holocaust and postcolonial studies. It invites research that acknowledges questions of gender, race, class, religion and ethnicity as indispensable tools for understanding the cultural processes connected to the lives and works of refugees and exiles.

Leeds-Swansea Colloquia on Contemporary German Literature

The Leeds Colloquia on Contemporary German Literature series is the successor to the Bradford Series of Colloquia on Contemporary German Literature. Like its precursor, the Leeds Series has as its focal point of departure a three-day, biennial colloquium devoted to a particular theme. The colloquia have been supported by a range of cultural institutions over the years including the Goethe Institut, Austrian Cultural Forum and Modern Humanities Research Association, enabling them to act as a forum for dialogue between Germanisten in the German-speaking world and established and aspiring scholars based in the UK, Ireland, the USA and Australia. It is of equal importance that a broad understanding of what constitutes literary writing is fostered. Thus while ‘canonical’ literary figures have always featured, there has been a commitment to new writing which has given rise to the first academic discussions in English of several significant contemporary writers. The organising editors are Professor Julian Preece (University of Wales, Swansea) and Professor Frank Finlay (University of Leeds) who work in tandem with an international Advisory Board.

Studies in Modern German and Austrian Literature

ISSN: 2235-3488

Studies in Modern German and Austrian Literature is a broadly conceived series that aims to publish significant research and scholarship devoted to German and Austrian literature of all forms and genres from the eighteenth century to the present day. The series promotes the analysis of intersections of literature with thought, society and other art forms, such as film, theatre, autobiography, music, painting, sculpture and performance art. It includes monographs on single authors or works, focused historical periods, and studies of experimentation with form and genre. Wider ranging explorations of literary, cultural or socio-political phenomena in the German-speaking lands or among writers in exile and analyses of national, ethnic and cultural identities in literature are also welcome topics. Proposals are invited for monographs, high-quality doctoral dissertations revised for book publication, focused collections of essays (including selectively edited conference proceedings), annotated editions and bibliographies. Senior figures in the academic profession as well as early career or independent scholars are encouraged to submit proposals. All proposals and manuscripts will be peer reviewed. We publish in both German and English. This series is a successor to Studies in Modern German Literature, edited by Peter D.G. Brown.

Women, Gender and Sexuality in German Literature and Culture

ISSN: 1094-6233

Women, Gender and Sexuality in German Literature and Culture welcomes proposals for monographs and rigorously edited essay collections focusing on the work of women and LGBTQ+ creators as well as the representation of women, gender and/or sexuality in literature, media and culture. The series contributes to efforts to broaden the German-language canon by publishing pioneering studies of relatively unknown writers, artists and filmmakers and cutting-edge assessments of more established figures. Studies of the history of women and LGBTQ+ subjects in German-speaking cultures, such as the participation of women in German, Austrian, Swiss and exile intellectual life and the struggle for equal rights, as well as historical considerations of gender and sexuality in German-speaking countries, are also encouraged. Editorial Board: Clare Bielby (University of York), Helga Druxes (Williams College), Priscilla Layne (University of North Carolina), Ervin Malakaj (University of British Columbia), Helmut Puff (University of Michigan), Anna Richards (Birkbeck University of London), Carrie Smith (University of Alberta), Tom Smith (University of St Andrews), Helen Watanabe-O'Kelly (University of Oxford), Yasemin Yildiz (University of California, Los Angeles)

North American Studies in Nineteenth-Century German Literature and Culture

ISSN: 2235-3496

"This series of scholarly works focuses on literature and other cultural artifacts produced during the long nineteenth century in German-speaking lands. The series includes studies in criticism and literary history, as well as analyses of the social and political dimensions of literature and culture. The aim of the series is to offer contributions by North American scholars who have rediscovered once significant authors, genres or modes of production and consumption; reevaluated canonical or other texts and their contexts; or explored other forms of expression, such as journalism, letters or diaries. This scholarship serves to renew our understanding and appreciation of a body of work that was acknowledged as internationally important in the nineteenth century and that still speaks to us today."

Exil-Dokumente

ISSN: 2235-6304

Die Generation, die nach 1933 ins Exil mußte, stirbt aus. Über sechzig Jahre nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs sind zahlreiche wichtige Zeugnisse deutschsprachigen Exils noch gänzlich unbekannt: sie liegen verborgen in Archiven, befinden sich in Privatbesitz oder in seltenen Exemplaren von Exilzeitschriften in Bibliotheken. Ziel der vorliegenden Reihe ist es, ausgewählte Dokumente wissenschaftlich zu erschließen und einer interessierten Öffentlichkeit zugänglich zu machen. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf unveröffentlichten oder entlegen erschienenen literarischen Texten, Briefen und Tagebüchern, doch sollen auch Arbeiten, die sich auf neuentdecktes Dokumentationsmaterial stützen, sowie Tagungsberichte zur Exilthematik Eingang in die Reihe finden. Die Publikationssprachen sind Deutsch, Englisch und Französisch. Die Generation, die nach 1933 ins Exil mußte, stirbt aus.

Britische und Irische Studien zur deutschen Sprache und Literatur / British and Irish Studies in German Language and Literature

British and Irish Studies in German Language and Literature Edited by H. S. Reiss and W. E. Yates This long-established series aims to publish works of serious scholarship drawn from the whole subject range of traditional Germanistik, originating both in Great Britain and in the Republic of Ireland, and readably written. Over fifty volumes have b een published since 1974. They include new books both by distinguished senior scholars and by younger researchers, collected essays either by single authors or by several hands (these have included papers emerging from conferences, often in both Eng lish and German) and selected doctoral dissertations reworked in book form. The weight of the series has mainly fallen on literature, theatre and cultural history from the eighteenth century onwards, in some cases with a strong comparative dimension.

Schriften des Exils zur Bildungsgeschichte und Bildungspolitik

ISSN: 1618-064X

Im Exil entstand eine größere Zahl bislang unbekannter, teilweise noch nicht veröffentlichter Schriften zu bildungsgeschichtlichen und bildungspolitischen Themen. Die Reihe umfasst Reprints von heute kaum mehr allgemein zugänglichen Publikationen sowie Manuskripte aus Nachlässen und „graue“ Materialien. Die Schriften dokumentieren den Reichtum an Erkenntnissen und Erfahrungen der pädagogisch-politischen Emigration. Die Schriftenreihe, die von Hildegard Feidel-Mertz begründet worden ist, wird von Inge Hansen-Schaberg, Professorin für Erziehungswissenschaft und Historische Pädagogik und zurzeit Vorsitzende der Gesellschaft für Exilforschung e.V., und Hermann Schnorbach herausgegeben, die seit vielen Jahren die Wirkungsgeschichte emigrierter PädagogInnen und SozialarbeiterInnen erforschen.
