Die Arbeit systematisiert das Politische in der unmittelbaren Gegenwartsliteratur. Die philologische Analyse ausgewählter Erzähltexte wird dabei unter Einbezug politischer Theorien methodisch erweitert, um thematische und ästhetische Neuausrichtungen zu kennzeichnen. Mit bislang ungehörten Stimmen, Perspektiven und Narrativen entwerfen die untersuchten Texte insbesondere literarische Reflexionsräume des Politischen im Sinne des geregelten Streits.

This study is the first to reconstruct the theoretical history of series formation in the modern era. It looks at forgotten frameworks in which the methodological and procedural knowledge of cultural and literary studies began to take shape prior to the formal establishment of these disciplines themselves did. It also delves into their historical development.

This study delves into the practices and contexts of the narrative forms of Early Middle High German literature (ca. 1060–1180). This literature has frequently been viewed as a step between Old High German and courtly literature. By contrast, this study explores the heterogeneous field of Early Middle High German narratives as an independent epoch, going beyond literary-historical and genre-normative classifications.
