Döblin's texts, which range widely across contemporary discourses, are paradigms of the encounter between literary and scientific modernity. With their use of 'Tatsachenphantasie', they explode conventional language, seeking a new connection with the world of objects and things. This volume reassesses and reevaluates the uniquely interdisciplinary quality of Döblin's interdiscursive, factually-inspired poetics by offering challenging new perspectives on key works. The volume analyses not only some of Döblin's best-known novels and stories, but also neglected works including his early medical essays, political journalism and autobiographical texts. Other topics addressed are Döblin's engagement with German history; his relation to medical discourse; his topography of Berlin; his aestheticisation of his own biography and his relation to other major writers such as Heine, Benn, Brecht and Sebald. With contributions in English and in German by scholars from Germany and the United Kingdom, the volume presents insights into Döblin that are of value to advanced researchers and to students alike.

Begriffe wie Flucht, (Zwangs-)Migration, Vertreibung, Asyl oder Diaspora beschreiben Phänomene, die auch von der Exilforschung verhandelt werden. Der Band versammelt interdisziplinäre Beiträge, die ihren Gemeinsamkeiten, aber auch den mit ihnen aufgerufenen unterschiedlichen Konnotationen und Kontexten nachspüren. Anliegen ist, für die Implikationen von Begriffen und Narrativen zu sensibilisieren und Dialoge zwischen Disziplinen anzuregen. Concepts such as (forced) migration, displacement, asylum, and diaspora describe phenomena that are also negotiated in exile studies. This volume brings together interdisciplinary contributions that trace their common features but also the different connotations and contexts that they evoke. The aim is to make readers aware of the implications of concepts and narratives, and to encourage dialogue between disciplines.
