This study of Joseph Conrad's influential work "Heart of Darkness" presents for the first time the German-language reception of this reference text in the debate on postcolonialism. The spectrum ranges from Conrad's contemporaries (like Kafka) to many canonical authors of the 20th century (including Thomas Mann, Ernst Jünger, Christa Wolf) to the most recent names in literature (i.e. Christian Kracht and Lukas Bärfuss). Beyond the readings of their works, the study contributes to the study of cultural transfers as well as to Conrad philology, and it expands the theory of intertextuality with parameters that capture the complex factor of power in postcolonial relations. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. The author (with the friendly support of Joe Kroll) has subsequently revised the text further in an endeavour to refine the work stylistically. "Lorenz’s meticulous analyses are immensely stimulating and productive." (Journal of European Studies) Matthias N. Lorenz is Professor of German and Comparative literature at Leibniz Universität Hannover (Germany) and Extraordinary Professor at Stellenbosch University (South Africa). He led two Swiss National Science Foundation projects on ruptures and continuities in Group 47 and on the phenomenon of disruption in the work of Christian Kracht and he is part of a Volkswagen Foundation research group on doing memory of right-wing violence.

Comparative Literature is changing fast with methodologies, topics, and research interests emerging and remerging. The fifth volume of ICLA 2016 proceedings, Dialogues between Media, focuses on the current interest in inter-arts studies, as well as papers on comics studies, further testimony to the fact that comics have truly arrived in mainstream academic discourse."Adaptation" is a key term for the studies presented in this volume; various articles discuss the adaptation of literary source texts in different target media - cinematic versions, comics adaptations, TV series, theatre, and opera. Essays on the interplay of media beyond adaptation further show many of the strands that are woven into dialogues between media, and thus the expanding range of comparative literature.

La quatrième de couv. indique : "Enseigner la lecture et l'écriture avec succès à mille enfants présents dans une même salle, cela pourrait passer aujourd'hui pour un pari fou et pourtant deux hommes l'ont imaginé et l'ont mis en pratique. L'Écossais Andrew Bell et l'Anglais Joseph Lancaster se sont ainsi lancés à corps perdu dans l'expérience de l'enseignement mutuel au début du XIXe siècle. Ils proposent alors que des enfants enseignent à d'autres enfants. Très rapidement, leurs écoles acquièrent une grande renommée d'abord en Grande-Bretagne, puis en France ; leur mode d'enseignement s'étend ensuite comme une traînée de poudre à travers l'Europe et le monde. Ils apportent ainsi une réponse aux problèmes des autorités scolaires de l'époque qui, faute de moyens financiers, peinent à former des enseignants et à concevoir les systèmes d'instruction publique. La première partie de l'ouvrage retrace les origines, le développement et le déclin de ce mode d'enseignement et la seconde décrit l'organisation, les composantes et les variations de sa mise en oeuvre. Ainsi, grâce à l'étude de cette innovation pédagogique du XIXe siècle, c'est un pan de l'histoire de l'école qui est remis en lumière."

While the very existence of global literary studies as an institutionalised field is not yet fully established, the global turn in various disciplines in the humanities and the social sciences has been gaining traction in recent years. This book aims to contribute to the field of global literary studies with a more inclusive and decentralising approach. Specifically, it responds to a double demand: the need for expanding openness to other ways of seeing the global literary space by including multiple literary and cultural traditions and other interdisciplinary perspectives in the discussion, and the need for conceptual models and different case studies that will help develop a global approach in four key avenues of research: global translation flows and translation policies, the post-1989 novel as a global form, global literary environments, and a global perspective on film and cinema history. Gathering contributions from international scholars with expertise in various areas of research, the volume is structured around five target concepts: space, scale, time, connectivity, and agency. We also take gender and LGBTQ+ perspectives, as well as a digital approach.
