Content: Europa ist in der Krise, aber wann war es das nicht? Die Beiträge in diesem Band untersuchen die Rolle der Literatur bei der Imagination und Figuration Europas als Produkt von und Lösung für Krisen. Seit Ovid in den Metamorphosen vom Raub der phönizischen Königstochter Europa durch den als Stier getarnten Zeus erzählte, hat der europäische Kontinent einen krisenhaften literarischen Gründungsmythos. Vom Rolandslied bis zum politischen Essay über den Kiewer Maidan, von der Bühne Shakespeares bis zum spanischen Gegenwartstheater wird Europa seither von der Krise her gedacht. Der fächerübergreifende Sammelband diskutiert die Rolle der Literatur als Reflexionsmedium für die Konstruktion der kulturellen wie der politischen Idee von Europa vor dem Hintergrund historischer und aktueller ökonomischer, politischer, religiöser und militärischer Krisen.

Series Statement: Symbolism : An International Annual of Critical Aesthetics , 14

Content: Symbolic representation is a crucial subject for and a potent heuristic instrument of diaspora studies. This special focus inquires into the forms and functions of symbols of diaspora both in aesthetic practice and in critical discourse, analyzing and theorizing symbols from Shakespeare to Bollywood as well as in critical writings of theorists of diaspora. What kinds of symbols and symbolic practices, contributors ask, are germane to the representation, both emic and etic, of diasporics and diasporas? How are specific symbols and symbolic practices analyzed across the academic fields contributing to diaspora studies? Which symbols and symbolic practices inform the academic study of diasporas, sometimes unconsciously or without being remarked on? To study these phenomena is to engage in a dialogue that aims at refining the theoretical and methodological vocabulary and practice of truly transdisciplinary diaspora studies while attending to the imperative of specificity that inheres in this emerging field. The volume collects a range of analyses from social anthropology, history and ethnography to literary and film studies, all combining readings of individual symbolic practices with meta-theoretical reflections.

Content: The book looks at ways of world-building in prose fictions of cosmic voyage in the seventeenth century. With the rise of the New Astronomy, there equally was a resurgence of the cosmic voyage in fiction. Various models of the universe were reimagined in prose form. Most of these voyages explore imagined versions of a world in the moon, such as the cosmic voyages by Johannes Kepler, Francis Godwin and Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac. In Margaret Cavendish's The Blazing World, an eponymous imaginary planet is introduced. The book analyses the world-building of cosmic voyages by combining theories of world-building with contemporary concepts from early modern literature. It shows how imaginary worlds were created in early modern prose literature.
