German-language Literature and Transnationalism

这项研究探索了跨国主义作为一种当代现实，它以一种让我们每个人都不受影响的方式“浸透了”日常生活。具体地说，它响应了AHRC‘翻译文化’的主题，并着眼于(人员、思想、文化等)跨国流动的方式。在今天的德语文学中得到了补救。跨国主义与全球化(服务和产品的标准化)、国际化(更多地与其他国家接触)、大众流动性(作为大众体验的旅游和移民)或数字网络等其他概念有何不同，它与当今文化的多方向跨境翻译(S)有何关联？它对真实的人有什么影响？德语文学文本是如何应对跨国情结的呢？德国的文学文本是如何应对跨国情结的呢？德国的文学文本是如何应对跨国情结的呢？德国的文学文本是如何应对跨国情结的呢？德语文学文本是如何回应跨国情结的呢？德语文学文本是如何回应跨国情结的呢？德语文学文本是如何回应跨国情结的呢？德语文学文本是如何回应跨国情结的呢？德语文学文本是如何回应跨国情结的呢？德语文学是如何回应跨国情结的呢？德语文学文本是如何回应跨国情结的呢？德语文学是如何回应跨国情结的呢？德语文学文本是如何回应跨国情结的呢？德国的跨国情结是以强烈的压力和集中的方式表现出来的。这本书的四个实质性章节将是该项目的主要(学术)成果，对16位作者进行了审查：(1)(重新)想象‘家园’以外的‘侨民渴望’；(2)狭隘和世界主义；(3)民族和全球文化(S)；(4)不同价值观和信仰之间的相遇。一个关键的论点是，跨国家主义促使我们重新思考“少数族裔”作家和“非少数族裔”作家的立场，并重新阅读他们的作品，相互并置。的确，如果像民族学家雷吉娜·伦希尔德所说的那样，跨民族主义的关键影响之一就是“固定文化领地的理想变成了虚构，流动性成为散居的生活世界、文化和身份扩散的共同点”，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、移民的还是散居的。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，包括他们的作品和社会和文化地位，以及文化(S)和跨民族主义之间的更广泛的关系。这个项目旨在帮助从事德国研究的学者和其他当代文学的研究人员(因为根据定义，跨民族主义是一个全球现象)，以及对文化(S)、跨民族主义的政治和文化以及移民和海外移民的翻译感兴趣的比较文学、文化研究和社会科学学科的同事。成果包括一本书、一卷编辑过的书、一本书的章节和导言，以及三篇会议论文，此外，还与文学研究和社会科学的学者进行了非正式交谈，并向日耳曼主义者会议叙述了该项目的发现。作为该项目的一项持久遗产，将在利兹大学建立跨民族主义和文化研究中心(S)，作为艺术和人文科学研究人员的联络点和今后艺术和人文科学与社会科学之间合作的中心。此外，该项目具有重大的影响潜力。在英国，计划通过广播片段利用研究产生的洞察力，探讨跨民族主义对国家和全球文化的影响以及对生活问题(如移民)的影响。在南非，计划利用该项目对文学与狭隘和世界主义的辩证法的接触以及不同价值观和信仰之间相遇的风险和机会的洞察，促进不同和经常分裂的社区之间的接触

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
