Die Auseinandersetzung mit der komplexen Semantik des Begriffs „Wagnis“ sowie mit der des Nachbarbegriffs „Risiko“ verspricht Aufschluss über wichtige Komponenten, wenn nicht sogar Grundzüge des literarischen Schreibens in der Moderne und zumal in der Gegenwart. Die Beiträge des komparatistischen DFG-Symposiums beleuchten die Geschichte der Konzeptualisierung des Wagnis-und des Risiko-Begriffs in literarischen, ästhetisch-poetologischen und historischen Kontexten. Dabei erörtern sie sowohl den Anteil, den die Literatur an Selbstbeschreibungen der Moderne im Zeichen von Wagnis- und Risikodiskursen hat, als auch dem spezifisch ‚gewagten‘ oder ‚riskanten‘ Grundzug literarischer-künstlerischer Arbeit selbst. Sie gliedern sich in fünf Sektionen: I. Diskursgeschichte des Risikos, II. Literatur und Wissensdiskurse als Risikodiskurse, III. Risiken literarischer/künstlerischer Produktion, Risiken der Verständigung, Risiken der Rezeption und medienbedingte Riskanzen, IV. Wagnis, Risiko und ihre Anschlussfähigkeit an poetologische Konzepte und Zentralbegriffe, V. Risiken und Wagnisse als Themen literarischer Darstellung.

Taking the cue from the currency of risk in popular and interdisciplinary academic discourse, this book explores the development of the English novel in relation to the emergence and institutionalization of risk, from its origins in probability theory in the late seventeenth century to the global ‘risk society’ in the twenty-first century. Focussing on 29 novels from Defoe to McEwan, this book argues for the contemporaneity of the rise of risk and the novel and suggests that there is much to gain from reading the risk society from a diachronic, literary-cultural perspective. Tracing changes and continuities, the fictional case studies reveal the human preoccupation with safety and control of the future. They show the struggle with uncertainties and the construction of individual or collective ‘logics’ of risk, which oscillate between rational calculation and emotion, helplessness and denial, and an enabling or destructive sense of adventure and danger. Advancing the study of risk in fiction beyond the confinement to dystopian disaster narratives, this book shows how topical notions, such as chance and probability, uncertainty and responsibility, fears of decline and transgression, all cluster around risk.

This book offers essays on both canonical and non-canonical German-language texts and films, advancing ecocritical models for German Studies, and introducing environmental issues in German literature and film to a broader audience. This volume contextualizes the broad-ranging topics and authors in terms of the Anthropocene, beginning with Goethe and the Romantics and extending into twenty-first-century literature and film. Addressing the growing need for environmental awareness in an international humanities curriculum, this book complements ecocritical analyses emerging from North American and British studies with a specifically German Studies perspective, opening the door to a transnational understanding of how the environment plays an integral role in cultural, political, and economic issues.

Gambling is a fascinating subject which for many centuries has attracted public interest. Yet, despite its ubiquity, gambling (or gaming) leads a marginal existence within the boundaries of scholarly research. Providing a longue duree survey, this volume promotes a historical understanding of the subject enriched with a diverse academic approach that draws upon sociology, economics and psychology. Each chapter in the collection is the work of a renowned scholar with a long standing interest in gambling research. The contributions offer historical analyses of the medieval origins of the 'Gambler State' and of mathematical risk calculation. They cast light on the roles of different stakeholders in gambling including the playing public, business, and the state. They provide a controversial discussion of the alleged 'pathological' nature of chance games and the reasons for either regulating or freeing them from state control. Last but not least, two authors deal with country-by-country specifics in gaming cultures and gambling markets. Taken as a whole, the chapters in this volume chart the development of European gambling culture from the medieval to modern times. In so doing it provides essential context for both historical and current debates about the nature of gambling and lotteries, addiction to gambling, poverty and social degradation on the fringes of the welfare state.

The fourth volume of the collected papers of the ICLA congress “The Many Languages of Comparative Literature” includes articles that study thematic and formal elements of literary texts. Although the question of prioritizing either the level of content or that of form has often provoked controversies, most contributions here treat them as internally connected. While theoretical considerations inform many of the readings, the main interest of most articles can be described as rhetorical (in the widest sense) – given that the ancient discipline of rhetoric did not only include the study of rhetorical figures and tropes such as metaphor, irony, or satire, but also that of topoi, which were originally viewed as the ‘places’ where certain arguments could be found, but later came to represent the arguments or intellectual themes themselves. Another feature shared by most of the articles is the tendency of ‘undeclared thematology’, which not only reflects the persistence of the charge of positivism, but also shows that most scholars prefer to locate themselves within more specific, often interdisciplinary fields of literary study. In this sense, this volume does not only prove the ongoing relevance of traditional fields such as rhetoric and thematology, but provides contributions to currently flourishing research areas, among them literary multilingualism, literature and emotions, and ecocriticism.

This state of the art collection offers fresh perspectives on why intersections between literature, religion, and ethics can address the fault lines of modernity and are not necessarily the cause of modernity's 'faults.' From a diverse cohort of scholars from around the world, with appointments in comparative literature and other disciplines, the essays suggest that the imagined hegemony of a Judeo-Christian Western project is neither exclusively true nor productive. However, the essays also suggest that elements of the Western religious traditions are important vectors for understanding modernity's complicated relationship to the past.

The Oxford Handbook of Ecocriticism explores a range of critical perspectives used to analyze literature, film, and the visual arts in relation to the natural environment. Since the publication of field-defining works by Lawrence Buell, Jonathan Bate, and Cheryll Glotfelty and Harold Fromm in the 1990s, ecocriticism has become a conventional paradigm for critical analysis alongside queer theory, deconstruction, and postcolonial studies. The field includes numerous approaches, genres, movements, and media, as the essays collected here demonstrate. The contributors come from around the globe and, similarly, the literature and media covered originate from several countries and continents. Taken together, the essays consider how literary and other cultural productions have engaged with the natural environment to investigate climate change, environmental justice, sustainability, the nature of "humanity," and more. Featuring thirty-four original chapters, the volume is organized into three major areas. The first, History, addresses topics such as the Renaissance pastoral, Romantic poetry, the modernist novel, and postmodern transgenic art. The second, Theory, considers how traditional critical theories have expanded to include environmental perspectives. Included in this section are essays on queer theory, science studies, deconstruction, and postcolonialism. Genre, the final major section, explores the specific artforms that have animated the field over the past decade, including nature writing, children's literature, animated films, and digital media. A short section entitled Views from Here concludes the handbook by zeroing in on the various transnational perspectives informing the continued dissemination and globalization of the field.

The book discusses how culture simultaneously shapes and is shaped by the economy. Over the past few years, as the world has staggered from one financial crisis to another, the neat separation of economics and culture has been consistently challenged. To understand the current state of affairs, it has become increasingly necessary to understand the conjuncture that rules the production of value in economic systems, how money shapes social relations and affects discursive practices. By discussing the vocabulary, by understanding the rhetoric and interpreting the narratives, be it of crisis, austerity, growth, welfare, neo-liberalism or socialism, new modes of imaging the economic system may be made possible. The book is structured in four chapters dealing with theory and conjuncture (“Philosophies of Money”), with the visual arts and investment (“The Arts and Finance”), with literary representation and narrativity (“Literature and Money Matters”) and with the cognitive impact of fiduciary representation (“Cognitive Moneyscapes”). This collection analyses the process whereby a material icon invested with the symbolical power to rule social exchange becomes an explanatory narrative determining the way societies produce meaning.

Obwohl der Ecocriticism international floriert, verzeichnet er kaum systematische gattungstheoretische Beiträge, die sich einem Kerninteresse der ökologisch orientierten Literaturwissenschaft widmen: der Frage nach den Affinitäten verschiedener literarischer Gattungen für ökologisches Wissen und ökologische Strukturen. Dieser Band untersucht die generisch bedingten Dispositionen und Funktionen einer Vielzahl von Genres hinsichtlich der Repräsentation ökologischer Relationen und Transformationen.Ergänzend zu dem in der Forschung vorherrschenden Fokus auf ökologisch engagierte Literatur schärft dieser Band den Blick für die ökologisch konzipierte Literatur und plädiert für eine genauere Untersuchung der Verschränkung beider Aspekte. Bezüge zur biologischen sowie zur angewandten Ökologie kennzeichnen die betrachteten Genres nicht nur auf der thematischen, sondern auch auf der strukturellen Ebene. Betrachtet werden daher neben der Modellierung des Mensch-Natur-Verhältnisses und der Auseinandersetzung mit ökologischen Fragen oder gar einer ökologischen Krise der je spezifische ›Texthaushalt‹ der einzelnen Genres, ihre Rhetorik und Modi der Wissenspopularisierung. Der Band stellt ein breites Spektrum ökologischer Genres aus verschiedenen Epochen, Literaturen und Kulturen vor und analysiert das jeweils charakteristische Zusammenspiel von Naturästhetik, Umweltethik und Wissenspoetik. Somit zeigt er anschaulich, dass ein Zuwachs ökologischen Wissens ebenso wie natürliche und anthropogene ökologische Transformationen verschiedenster Art Transformationen des literarischen Gattungssystems bewirkt haben und bewirken.
