Der vorliegende Band widmet sich in drei Sektionen den Fragen nach Sinn und Zweck der Literatur und Literaturwissenschaft und bietet Einblicke in die Praxis literaturwissenschaftlichen Arbeitens.


The present volume focuses in three parts on the question of sense and meaning of literature and literature studies and gives insights in the work of literature studies. The speed in which technical changes are implemented has rendered the old medium literature more and more obsolete. In times of tablets and “digital classrooms” we are not only threatened by a “demystification”, but also by the fact that literature becomes absolutely meaningless. In this volume important scholars of various study fields demonstrate what literature is able to offer and why a professionalised approach is needed.
