andererseits is a collaborative project undertaken by students and faculties of universities in the USA (Duke and the University of Notre Dame), in Luxembourg (University of Luxembourg), and in Germany (University of Duisburg-Essen). It provides a forum for research and reflection on topics related to the German-speaking world and the field of German Studies. Works presented in the publication come from a wide variety of genres including book reviews, poetry, essays, editorials, forum discussions, academic notes, lectures, as well as traditional peer-reviewed academic articles. By publishing such a diverse array of material, we hope to demonstrate the extraordinary value of the humanities in general, and German Studies in particular, on a variety of intellectual and cultural levels. This edition features contributions by Carsten Dutt, Klaus Modick, Tanja Nusser, Thomas Pfau, Margarethe von Trotta, and others.

Das Handbuch gibt erstmals einen umfassenden Überblick über das Gesamtwerk Wilhelm Raabes (Erzähltexte, Lyrik, Zeichnungen) sowie seine literatur- und kulturgeschichtlichen Kontexte. Hinzu treten biografische, editorische, poetologische und rezeptionsgeschichtliche Grundlagen zum Verständnis von Raabes Leben und Werk. Als führender Autor des 19. Jahrhunderts war Raabe nicht nur Vertreter des Realismus, sondern stellte die ideologischen, erkenntnistheoretischen und ästhetischen Parameter realistischen Erzählens immer schärfer auf die Probe, um am Jahrhundertende an die Schwelle zur Moderne zu gelangen.

What is it that prompts a basically heterogeneous set of members to form into one as-sociation with a single programmatic aim? Why can the equally heterogeneous artistic products by those members still be perceived as a 'wholehard' socio-historical facts pertaining to these groups to the 'soft' aesthetic structures linking the various different programs and works at the intersection of the common interdiscursive elements common to them. The model is exemplified with reference to the period 1843 to 1924 and the following societies: -Glocke-, -Bergwerk-, -Sturmerkreis-, -Charonkreis- and -Werdandi-Bund-."
