Bisexuality in Europe offers an accessible and diverse overview of research on bisexuality and bi+ people in Europe, providing a foundation for theorising and empirical work on plurisexual orientations and identities, and the experiences and realities of people who desire more than one sex or gender Counteracting the predominance of work on bisexuality based in Ango-American contexts, this collection of fifteen contributions from both early-career and more senior academics reflects the current state of research in Europe on bisexuality and people who desire more than one sex or gender. The book is structured around three interlinked themes that resonate well with the international research frontiers of bisexual theorising: bisexual citizenship, intimate relationships, and bisexual+ identities. This book is the first of its kind in bringing together research from various European countries including Austria, Finland, Italy, the Netherlands, and Scandinavian countries, as well as from Europe as a wider geographical region. Topics include pansexual identity, non-monogomies, asylum seekers and youth cultures. This is an essential collection for students, early career researchers, and more senior academics in Gender Studies, LGBTQI Studies and Sexuality Studies.

Aus einer transnationalen Perspektive werden nach 1989 entstandene literarische und künstlerische Texte analysiert, die - unter Rückgriff auf vielstimmige Ästhetiken - differenzierte Sichtweisen auf die gedächtnispolitisch brisante Figur des Opfers eröffnen sollen. Um wenig produktive Opferkonkurrenzen zu transzendieren und Wege aus 'Opferfallen' im Sinne Daniele Gigliolis aufzuzeigen, werden vor allem Konzepte dialogischen (A. Assmann) bzw. multidirektionalen Erinnerns (M. Rothberg) fruchtbar gemacht, um Täter-Opfer-Binarismen zu überwinden. Neben der im Medium der Literatur möglichen Transgression schematisierender Täter-Opfer-Beziehungen geht es vor allem um die Repräsentation und Artikulation von Opfern bzw. Opfergruppen abseits von 'Opferkult' und (Selbst-)Viktimisierung.Gerade die dezidiert literatur- und kulturwissenschaftliche sowie transnationale Perspektivierung von Opfernarrativen ebenso wie das Augenmerk auf europäische Literaturen der unmittelbaren Gegenwart heben den Sammelband von Publikationen zum selben Thema ab und bereichern die erinnerungspolitisch so brisante und aktuelle Diskussion um die Figur des Opfers auf innovative Art und Weise. This edited volume examines the representation of victims beyond the categories of the "victim cult," self-victimization, and the victim-perpetrator dichotomy. Adopting a transnational perspective, it mainly considers literature written after 1989, leveraging concepts of dialogical and multidirectional memory to facilitate differentiated perspectives in the politics of memory regarding the highly charged figure of the victim.

Many experts assume that urban mobility, and with it the urban environment, will change significantly in the future, partly due to new, digitally-supported mobility services. It is therefore important to understand how this change may look like and how it can be shaped. The papers in this volume aim to contribute to these questions from different perspectives. All of the papers were written in the project "Profilregion Mobilitätssysteme Karlsruhe".

This volume brings into dialogue current research interests in literary studies and linguistics that work with Pierre Bourdieu’s concepts and theory. In light of the twentieth anniversary of the death of the French sociologist (2022), it thus, firstly, carries out a survey of previous research and, secondly, stakes out the future potential of German studies oriented toward Bourdieu. Zwei Jahrzehnte nach seinem Tod ist das Werk des Soziologen Pierre Bourdieu aus vielen Geistes-, Kultur- und Sozialwissenschaften nicht mehr wegzudenken. Wie aber sieht es mit der Anwendung der Bourdieuschen Konzepte und Theorien in der Germanistik aus?Der Band bilanziert den Ertrag der entsprechenden sprach- und literaturwissenschaftlichen Forschung. Zugleich werden die Zukunftspotentiale einer an Bourdieu orientierten Germanistik abgesteckt. Dabei geht es auch um die Frage, inwiefern Bourdieus Arbeiten einen gemeinsamen produktiven Bezugsrahmen für einen stärkeren Austausch zwischen Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaft bieten können.
