This research explores transnationalism as a contemporary reality that 'saturates' everyday life in ways that leave none of us unaffected. Specifically, it responds to the AHRC 'Translating Cultures' theme and looks at the ways transnational flows (of people, ideas, culture, etc.) are being remediated in today's German-language literature. How is transnationalism different from other concepts such as globalisation (the standardisation of services and products), internationalisation (greater engagement with other nations), mass mobility (tourism and migration as mass experiences), or digital networking, and how does it relate to today's multi-directional translation of culture(s) back and forth across borders? How does it impact on real people? And how do literary texts in German respond to the ambivalences of transnationalism - what kinds of aesthetic strategies and contents arise in response to the simultaneous restatement and permeation of the nation's borders that is characteristic of transnationalism and to the risks and opportunities that transnationalism presents?The study frames Germany as an exemplary transnational space in which the ambivalences of transnationalism are being played out in an acutely pressing and concentrated fashion. Sixteen authors are examined over the four substantive chapters of the book which will be the primary (academic) outcome of the project: (1) (re)imagining a 'diasporic longing' beyond 'home'; (2) parochialism and cosmopolitanism; (3) national and global culture(s); and (4) encounters between diverse values and beliefs. A key argument will be that transnationalism pushes us to rethink the positionality of both 'minority' writers and 'nonminority' writers and to re-read their work in juxtaposition with one another. Indeed, if, as ethnologist Regina Römhild claims, one of the key effects of transnationalism is that 'the ideal of fixed territories of culture turns into a fiction, and mobility becomes the common ground for the proliferation of diasporic life-worlds, cultures and identities', then this surely applies to all residents of the (still-existing) nation-state, whether 'settled', migrant or diasporic. The book's aim is to generate new insights from this juxtaposition of minority and nonminority authors, both into their work and social and cultural standing and into the relationship between culture(s) and transnationalism more generally.This project is intended to benefit scholars working in German Studies as well as researchers across a range of other contemporary literatures (since transnationalism is, by definition, a global phenonomen), as well as colleagues in Comparative Literature, cultural studies and social-science disciplines with an interest in the translation of culture(s), the politics and cultures of transnationalism, and migration and diasporas. The outcomes include a book, an edited volume, a book chapter and introduction, and three conference papers, in addition to informal talks to scholars in literary studies and social sciences and a narrative account of the project's findings to a meeting of Germanists. As a lasting legacy for the project, a Centre for the Study of Transnationalism and Culture(s) will be established at the University of Leeds as a focal point for Arts and Humanities researchers and a hub for future collaboration between Arts and Humanities and the Social Sciences. In addition, the project has significant impact potential. In the UK, it is planned to exploit the insights generated by the research by means of radio segments on transnationalism's impact on national and global cultures and on live concerns (e.g. immigration). In South Africa, it is planned to exploit the project's insights into literature's engagement with the dialectic of parochialism and cosmopolitanism and the risks and opportunities of encounters between different values and beliefs to promote engagement between diverse and often divided communities

这项研究探讨了跨国主义作为一个当代现实，“饱和”的日常生活的方式，让我们没有人不受影响。具体而言，它响应AHRC的“翻译文化”主题，并着眼于跨国流动（人员，思想，文化等）的方式。在今天的德语文学中得到了纠正。跨国主义与其他概念有何不同，如全球化（服务和产品的标准化）、国际化（与其他国家的更大参与）、大众流动性（旅游和移民作为大众体验）或数字网络，以及它与当今跨国界文化来回的多向翻译有何关系？它对真实的人有什么影响？德语文学文本如何回应跨国主义的矛盾性--面对跨国主义所特有的国家边界的同时重述和渗透，以及跨国主义所带来的风险和机遇，产生了什么样的美学策略和内容？该研究框架德国作为一个示范性的跨国空间，其中的矛盾的跨国主义正在发挥在一个尖锐的紧迫和集中的方式。本书的四个实质性章节对十六位作者进行了审查，这将是该项目的主要（学术）成果：（1）（重新）想象“家”之外的“离散渴望”;（2）狭隘主义和世界主义;（3）国家和全球文化;（4）不同价值观和信仰之间的相遇。一个关键的论点是，跨国主义促使我们重新思考“少数民族”作家和“非少数民族”作家的立场，并重新阅读他们的作品相互并列。事实上，如果如民族学家雷吉娜·罗姆希尔德（Regina Römhild）所言，跨国主义的关键影响之一是“文化固定领土的理想变成了一种虚构，流动性成为流散生活世界、文化和身份扩散的共同基础”，那么这肯定适用于（仍然存在的）民族国家的所有居民，无论是“定居”的、移民的还是流散的。这本书的目的是从少数民族和非少数民族作家的并列中产生新的见解，无论是对他们的工作和社会文化地位，还是对文化与跨国主义之间的关系，都有更广泛的了解。这个项目旨在使从事德国研究的学者以及其他当代文学的研究人员受益（因为根据定义，跨国主义是一种全球现象），以及比较文学，文化研究和社会科学学科的同事，他们对文化的翻译，跨国主义的政治和文化以及移民和散居感兴趣。成果包括一本书，一个编辑的卷，一本书的章节和介绍，以及三个会议文件，除了非正式会谈的学者在文学研究和社会科学和叙述该项目的调查结果，以日耳曼会议。作为该项目的持久遗产，将在利兹大学建立一个跨国主义和文化研究中心，作为艺术和人文研究人员的联络点，以及艺术与人文和社会科学之间未来合作的中心。此外，该项目具有重大影响潜力。在联合王国，计划利用研究所产生的见解，通过广播节目介绍跨国主义对国家和全球文化以及对现实问题（如移民）的影响。在南非，计划利用该项目对文学与狭隘主义和世界主义的辩证关系以及不同价值观和信仰之间相遇的风险和机会的洞察力，促进多样化和经常分裂的社区之间的接触。
