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.

The three concepts mentioned in the title of this volume imply the contact between two or more literary phenomena; they are based on similarities that are related to a form of 'travelling' and imitation or adaptation of entire texts, genres, forms or contents. Transfer comprises all sorts of 'travelling', with translation as a major instrument of transferring literature across linguistic and cultural barriers. Transfer aims at the process of communication, starting with the source product and its cultural context and then highlighting the mediation by certain agents and institutions to end up with inclusion in the target culture. Reception lays its focus on the receiving culture, especially on criticism, reading, and interpretation. Translation, therefore, forms a major factor in reception with the general aim of reception studies being to reveal the wide spectrum of interpretations each text offers. Moreover, translations are the prime instrument in the distribution of literature across linguistic and cultural borders; thus, they pave the way for gaining prestige in the world of literature. The thirty-eight papers included in this volume and dedicated to research in this area were previously read at the ICLA conference 2016 in Vienna. They are ample proof that the field remains at the center of interest in Comparative Literature.

Wenn Georg Lukács, Walter Benjamin, Michail Bachtin oder Robert Musil im frühen 20. Jahrhundert in der Jenaer Romantik das Labor einer neuen Art des Schreibens und Denkens über Literatur entdecken, so liegt dies darin begründet, dass der Roman um 1800 zum spekulativen Begriff einer Literatur- und Kulturtheorie geworden ist. Hinter der vermeintlichen Formlosigkeit des Romans hatten Friedrich Schlegel und Friedrich von Hardenberg das Vermögen der Literatur entdeckt, aus sich selbst ihre Form zu entwickeln und von ihrer Eigengesetzmäßigkeit ausgehend theoriefähig zu werden. Um diesen Vorstoß zu wagen, so argumentiert die Studie, griff die Jenaer Romantik auf das Gespräch zurück: Als Inbegriff der Geselligkeit, als literarischer Präzedenzfall und als epistemologisches Modell wurde es zum Medium der literarischen Reflexion par excellence . Die Voraussetzungen für die Allgegenwart des Gesprächs um 1800 findet die Studie in der dialogischen, aus der Literatur- und Kunstkritik hervorgegangenen Erzählliteratur Denis Diderots angelegt; den Folgen spürt sie nach bis hin zur Konzeption des Gesprächs als Formkonstituens und Figur einer nicht-genealogischen Herleitung von Literatur in Musils Mann ohne Eigenschaften .
