Series Statement: Linguistic approaches to literature, volume 35

Content: "Pragmatics and Literature is an important collection of new work by leading practitioners working at the interface between pragmatic theory and literary analysis. The individual studies collected here draw on a variety of theoretical approaches and are concerned with a range of literary genres. All have a shared focus on applying ideas from specific pragmatic frameworks to understanding the production, interpretation and evaluation of literary texts. A full-length introductory chapter highlights distinctions and contrasts between pragmatic theories, but also brings out complementarities, shared aims and assumptions, and ways in which different pragmatic theories can make different contributions to our understanding of literary texts. The book as a whole encourages a sense of coherence for the field and presents insights from various approaches for systematic comparison. Building on previous work by the editors, the contributors and others, it makes a significant contribution to the growing field of pragmatic literary stylistics"--

Content: This collection is an enquiry into compassion as an early modern emotional phenomenon, situating it within the complexity of European economic, social, cultural and religious tensions. Drawing on recent work in the history of emotions, leading scholars consider the particularities of early modern compassion, demonstrating its entanglements with diverse genres and geographies. Chapters on canonical and less familiar works explore tragedy, comedy, sermons, philosophy, treatises on consolation, medical writing, and dramatic theory, showing how early modern compassion shaped attitudes and social structures that remain central to the way we imagine our response to suffering today, and how such investigations can ultimately provoke new ways of thinking about community in contemporary Europe.

Series Statement: LIR. Literatur - Imagination - Realität Band 53

Content: Die um einen Mann werbende Frau unterminiert patriarchale Genderbestimmungen und kehrt dadurch traditionelle Machtverhältnisse zwischen den Geschlechtern um. Mit einem komparatistischen Ansatz arbeitet Natalia Fuhry am Beispiel der Komödie das subversive Potential des weiblichen Werbens in englischen und deutschen Theatertexten heraus und zeigt, dass dieses Motiv trotz seines seltenen Vorkommens eine lange Tradition in der Komödie hat. So werden etwa in Shakespeares "Twelfth Night", Lessings "Minna von Barnhelm" oder Shaws "Man and Superman" klassische Weiblichkeitsattribute wie Passivität und Schwäche durch das weibliche Werben konterkariert und neu verhandelt. Das Cross-Dressing, die weibliche Maskerade sowie ein offensives Artikulieren des Begehrens bilden dabei die in den untersuchten Texten angewandten Strategien des Umwerbens.

Series Statement: Pluralisierung & Autorität, Bd. 25

Content: Anthropology is a notoriously polysemous term. Within a continental European academic context, it is usually employed in the sense of philosophical anthropology, and mainly concerned with exploring concepts of a universal human nature. By contrast, Anglo-American scholarship almost exclusively associates anthropology with the investigation of cultural and ethnic differences (cultural anthropology). How these two main traditions (and their 'derivations' such as literary anthropology, historical anthropology, ethnology, ethnography, intercultural studies) relate to each other is a matter of debate. Both, however, have their roots in the path-breaking changes that occurred within sixteenth and early seventeenth-century culture and scientific discourse. It was in fact during this period that the term anthropology first acquired the meanings on which its current usage is based. The Renaissance did not 'invent' the human. But the period that gave rise to 'humanism' witnessed an unprecedented diversification of the concept that was at its very core. The question of what defines the human became increasingly contested as new developments like the emergence of the natural sciences, religious pluralisation, as well as colonial expansion, were undermining old certainties. The proliferation of doctrines of the human in the early modern age bears out the assumption that anthropology is a discipline of crisis, seeking to establish sets of common values and discursive norms in situations when authority finds itself under pressure.
