Opis

This collection of contributions lies at a "seam" in many ways, offering evidence of diverse "worlds of life." Its content spans centuries, ranging from the era of German classicism to the phenomena of a digitalized and virtual world. They connect inner and outer worlds by engaging with concrete texts and their contexts. The interdisciplinary approach corresponds to an intercultural one, in that the contributions interpret German and Czech literature, or literature from a German and Czech perspective. This intercultural constellation, given by the origins of the two authors, is complemented by a somewhat intergenerational aspect-the authors' ages and their respective positions in the academic world are somewhat different. The book appeals to readers open to the diversity of such "inter" references. The authors are aware that, alongside the relevant scholarly contributions, there will also be more informal essayistic contributions, and hope that this will also contribute to the reader's interest.
