Abstract:
Das aktuelle Spektrum der Literaturwissenschaft ist durch eine komparatistische und kulturwissenschaftliche Öffnung mit mannigfachen interdisziplinären Anschlüssen gekennzeichnet. Die Reihe spectrum Literaturwissenschaft versteht sich als Forum dieser pluralistischen Neuformierung der Literaturwissenschaft; sie präsentiert Studien von methodisch innovativem, häufig komparatistischem Zuschnitt, deren Ergebnisse über enge nationalphilologische Horizonte hinaus von exemplarischer Bedeutung sind.
