Diese Studie entwirft eine Typologie des Verschwindens in der Literatur und spannt dabei den Bogen von vormodernen Texten bis hin zur unmittelbaren Gegenwartsliteratur. Überall auf der Welt verschwinden Menschen: Sie werden entführt, verschleppt, heimlich ermordet; sie verlaufen sich oder gehen einfach weg. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage, ob das Verschwinden als paradigmatisches Symptom der Moderne und Postmoderne angesehen werden kann. Untersucht werden zahlreiche literarische Texte, von Hawthorne über Poe, Borges, Auster bis hin zu Danielewski. Eine ausführliche Analyse gilt dem Werk Roberto Bolaños, der als Autor des Verschwindens schlechthin präsentiert wird.

Die Arbeit nutzt Hölderlins Frankreichaufenthalt 1802 zu einer Deutung der Gedichte Andenken und Der Ister , um auf dieser Grundlage zu einer Kritik Heideggers fortzuschreiten. Hölderlins Aufenthalt in Bordeaux im Winter und Frühjahr 1802 hat die Forschung seit jeher vor Rätsel gestellt. Das einzige Zeugnis, das neben spärlichen Briefen erhalten geblieben ist, bildet eines seiner berühmtesten Gedichte, Andenken , in dessen Mittelpunkt die Darstellung der Stadt und des Flusses Garonne steht. Auf dem gleichen Blatt hat Hölderlin ein zweites Gedicht begonnen: Der Ister. Die Arbeit stellt die Frage nach dem Zusammenhang der beiden Stromgedichte und wendet sich in einem zweiten Schritt der Auslegung zu, die sie in Vorlesungen Heideggers während des Krieges erfahren haben. Das Ziel besteht in einer Befreiung Hölderlins von den Vorgaben der Philosophie Heideggers.

The third volume of the collected papers of the ICLA congress "The Many Languages of Comparative Literature" includes contributions that focus on the interplay between concepts of nation, national languages, and individual as well as collective identities. Because all literary communication happens within different kinds of power structures - linguistic, economic, political -, it often results in fascinating forms of hybridity. In the first of four thematic chapters, the papers investigate some of the ways in which discourses can establish modes of thinking, or how discourses are in turn controlled by active linguistic interventions, whether in the context of the patriarchy, war, colonialism, or political factions. The second thematic block is predominantly concerned with hybridity as an aspect of modern cultural identity, and the cultural and linguistic dimensions of domestic life and in society at large. Closely related, a third series of papers focuses on writers and texts analysed from the vantage points of exile and exophony, as well as theoretical contributions to issues of terminology and what it means to talk about transcultural phenomena. Finally, a group of papers sheds light on more overtly violent power structures, mechanisms of exclusion, Totalitarianism, torture, and censorship, but also resistance to these forms of oppression. In addition to these chapters, the volume also collects a number of thematically related group sections from the ICLA congress, preserving their original context.

Comparative Literature is changing fast with methodologies, topics, and research interests emerging and remerging. The fifth volume of ICLA 2016 proceedings, Dialogues between Media, focuses on the current interest in inter-arts studies, as well as papers on comics studies, further testimony to the fact that comics have truly arrived in mainstream academic discourse."Adaptation" is a key term for the studies presented in this volume; various articles discuss the adaptation of literary source texts in different target media - cinematic versions, comics adaptations, TV series, theatre, and opera. Essays on the interplay of media beyond adaptation further show many of the strands that are woven into dialogues between media, and thus the expanding range of comparative literature.
