Synopsis
Die zehn Studien dieses Bandes, dem der Autor den Titel Gegendichtungen gegeben hat, untersuchen uber zwanzig Texte in franzosischer, italienischer und spanischer Sprache aus verschiedenen Epochen vom Mittelalter bis zur Gegenwart mit dem Ziel, den Begriff der "literarischen Replik" (oder auch "Gegendichtung") zu veranschaulichen, mit dem eine innerliterarische Relation des Widerspruchs bezeichnet wird und den es anhand von moglichst vielen, unterschiedlichen Texten zu illustrieren galt.
Synopsis
With its new subtitle, Romance Literatures of the World, the book series mimesis presents an innovative and integral understanding of the Romance world and Romance Studies from the perspective of literary studies and cultural theory. It takes account of the fact that the fascinating development of Romance literatures and cultures both in Europe and beyond has set in motion worldwide dynamics which continue the great traditions of the Romance world and open up new horizons for them. mimesis works from a transareal understanding of Romance Studies which integrates Romance literatures and cultures both within and outside Europe and which transcends the national and disciplinary boundaries which often conceal the interactions between different traditions and developments in Europe and the Americas, in Africa and Asia. In the archipelago of Romance Studies, mimesis reveals how the representation of reality in the Romance literatures of the world opens the door to a multilingual cosmos of diverse logics.
