In einer theoriebezogenen aventiure-Fahrt erkundet der Band die Leistungsfahigkeit eines neuen Paradigmas der historischen Literaturwissenschaft: der intersectional theory.


The volume sets off on a methodological queste (MHG aventiure) to explore the potential of the controversially discussed intersectional theory of the social sciences as a new paradigm in historical literary studies. Case studies of a broad thematic scope show the applicability of such an adaptation of intersectional theory and where and how it has to be modified for a critical literary approach. Different disciplinary fields (e.g. social sciences, cultural studies, narratology) and areas (e.g. gender, nature, space) are merged in systematic intersectional models of literary representations. The underlying mentalities and the social patterns and their cultural origins inherent in the literary artefact become visible, at the same time highlighting its aesthetic qualities.
