Die klassischen Arbeitsgebiete der Komparatistik, ihre Theorien und Methoden werden im Blick auf neue Frage- und Problemstellungen uberpruft und teilweise revidiert.


The self-perception of comparative studies has changed markedly in recent years. The classic areas and fields of activities face a reorientation towards cultural studies and an opening up for questions and issues relating to globalisation theories. This volume provides a survey of the history of general and comparative literary studies and at the same time takes stock of its current situation in a global context. The volume focuses on problem-oriented approaches that reflect the state of current research.
