Auch in der Weltliteratur des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts wird der Berg zu einem besonderen Ort, der an Transgression gekoppelte Aufstieg zu einer Erkenntnisbewegung und das sowohl in den Alpen als auch in den Anden. Die komparatistisch angelegte Studie stellt sich den Herausforderungen eines interkulturellen Vergleichs und spürt den Zusammenhängen europäischer und lateinamerikanischer Literatur nach, um nicht nur kulturspezifische Charakteristika herauszuarbeiten, sondern kulturübergreifende Funktionen literarischer Gebirgslandschaften zu identifizieren. Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei v.a. Schweizer und peruanische Autoren: M. Frisch, L. Hohl, C.-F. Ramuz sowie C. Alegría, J. M. Arguedas, M. Vargas Llosa.

The Alps have exerted a hold over the German cultural imagination throughout the modern period, enthralling writers, artists, philosophers, scientists, and tourists alike. The Draw of the Alps interrogates the dynamics of this fascination. Though philosophical and aesthetic responses to Alpine space have shifted over time, the Alps continue to captivate at an individual and collective level. This has resulted in myriad cultural engagements with Alpine space, as this interdisciplinary volume attests. Literature, photography, and philosophy continue to engage with the Alps as a place in which humans pursue their cognitive and aesthetic limits. At the same time, individuals engage physically with the alpine environment, whether as visitors through the well-established leisure industry, as enthusiasts of extreme sports, or as residents who feel the acute end of social and environmental change. Taking a transnational view of Alpine space, the volume demonstrates that the Alps are not geographically peripheral to the nation-state but are a vibrant locus of modern cultural production. As The Draw of the Alps attests, the Alps are nothing less than a crucible in which understandings of what it means to be human have been forged.

The Laboratory of Progress: Switzerland in the 19th Century tells the improbable story of how a small, backward, mountainous agricultural country with almost no raw materials became an industrial powerhouse, a hub of innovation, a touristic mecca and a pioneer in transportation – all in the course of a single century. That a tiny landlocked country should become a dominant steamship builder for the rest of the world; that a country that had never seen a cotton plant should become the world’s second-largest textile producer; that a country with hardly any level terrain should come to boast the world’s most highly developed railway network; and that a country whose main export was impoverished emigrants should be transformed into one of the world’s major financial centres – these astonishing developments, among many others, are explored and explained, both through the specific stories of individual innovators and through a prescient analysis of the political, economic, societal and cultural structures that formed the context in which Switzerland’s astonishing transformation took place. The book is a compelling read both for professional historians and for general readers with an interest in Switzerland; it highlights the roles of transport networks and individual pioneers in industrial and political development.

An interdisciplinary cultural history of exploration and mountaineering in the nineteenth century European forays to mountain summits began in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries with the search for plants and minerals and the study of geology and glaciers. Yet scientists were soon captivated by the enterprise of climbing itself, enthralled with the views and the prospect of “conquering” alpine summits. Inspired by Romantic notions of nature, early mountaineers idealized their endeavors as sublime experiences, all the while deliberately measuring what they saw. As increased leisure time and advances in infrastructure and equipment opened up once formidable mountain regions to those seeking adventure and sport, new models of masculinity emerged that were fraught with tensions. This book examines how written and artistic depictions of nineteenth-century exploration and mountaineering in the Andes, the Alps, and the Sierra Nevada shaped cultural understandings of nature and wilderness in the Anthropocene.

Writing the Mountains reconsiders the role of mountains in German language fiction from 1800 to the present and argues that in a range of texts, from E.T.A. Hoffmann's “Die Bergwerke zu Falun” (1819) to Elfriede Jelinek's Die Kinder der Toten (1995) and beyond, mountains serve as dynamic spaces of material change that generate aesthetic and narrative innovation. In contrast to dominant critical approaches to the Alpine landscape in literature, in which mountain ranges often features as passive settings, or which trace the influence of geographical and geological sciences in literary productions, this study argues for the dynamic role in literature of presumably rigid mineral structures. In German-language fiction after 1800, the counter-intuitive topology of rocky mountain ranges and unfathomable subterranean depths of the Alpine imaginary functions as a space of exception which appears to reconfirm and radically challenge the foundations of Enlightenment thought. Writing the Mountains reads the mountain range as a rigid yet permeable liminal space. Within this zone, semiotic orders are unsettled, as is the division between organic and inorganic, between the human and the other.

Wenn Sehnen zur Sucht wird: Literarische Texte über die Alpen zeigen nicht nur sehnsuchtsvolle Idyllen im menschenleeren Raum, sondern auch jene Abgründe, in die der Mensch beim Besteigen der Gipfel blickt. Die Alpen sind Seismograph für den Umgang ihrer Einwohner mit den Naturräumen des Kontinents. Ihr Ökosystem ist Erholungs- und Wirtschaftsraum, Transitstrecke und Heimatort, Zentrum und Trennung des deutschsprachigen Raums. Die Literatur hat an diesem Umgang des Menschen mit dem Alpenraum einen wesentlichen Anteil, an jenen Sehnsüchten, Phantasien und Abgründen, die mit ihm verbunden wer-den. Sie verändert die Sichtweise auf die Alpen und gibt dem Menschen Anlass, über den Kultur- und Öko-Raum Alpen zu reflektieren. Mithilfe eines innovativen theoretischen Konzepts zur Erfassung von Räumen in der Literatur wird die Kulturgeschichte der Alpen in deutsch-sprachigen und internationalen Texten von der Antike bis zu Gegenwart dargestellt.

Wie ist die ambivalente Beziehung der queeren Literaturtradition zum Katholizismus zu verstehen? Diese Frage beschäftigt die vorliegende Forschungsarbeit, die sich als Ziel setzte, die ambivalente Beziehung der queeren Literaturästhetik zur katholischen Religion zu erforschen. Dafür geht diese Dissertation vom Frühwerk Fernando Vallejos und Josef Winklers aus, um drei Hauptstrategien der bejahenden und verneinenden Religionskritik zu skizzieren.

Johanna Spyris Heidi-Romane von 1880/1881 zählen zweifellos zum Kanon der westlichen Kinder- und Jugendliteratur. Sie wurden in ca. 70 Sprachen übersetzt und für zahlreiche Medienformate wie Spielfilm, Fernsehserie, Anime-Serie, Comic, Audiobook, Musical, Ballett oder Briefmarkenedition adaptiert. Um ihrer großen Popularität auf die Spur zu kommen, befragen die Beiträger*innen die Romane auf ihre Aktualität hin und interpretieren sie unter Gesichtspunkten der Diversity Studies neu. Was können wir zu Kindheit und Alter, Naturbegriff und Tierhaltung, Bildung und Verwandtschaft, zur Bedingtheit von Behinderung und zum Verhältnis von gender, race und class heute daraus lernen?

In einer globalisierten Welt, am Ende der nationalen grand récits, bewegen sich Literaturen in ästhetischen Räumen, vielfach angesiedelt zwischen Sprachen und Kulturen. Wie tragen Konzepte wie Transnationalität, Literaturen der Welt, Kreolisierung und diachrone Interkulturalität dazu bei, Literaturen der Gegenwart zu verstehen? Inwiefern eröffnen postkoloniale Perspektiven eine Zukunft jenseits von literarischen Nationalismen und kulturellen Hegemonien? Die Beiträger*innen des mehrsprachigen Bandes untersuchen diese Fragen vor dem Hintergrund transnationaler und -kultureller künstlerischer Ausdrucksformen und Rezeptionsprozesse und gewinnen so ein Bild der Aporien, Grenzen und Freiheiten transnationaler Literaturen.
