This pioneering volume explores the Arctic as an important and highly endangered archive of knowledge about natural as well as human history of the anthropocene. Focusing on the Arctic as an archive means to investigate it not only as a place of human history and memory - of Arctic exploring, ›conquering‹ and colonizing -, but to take into account also the specific environmental conditions of the circumpolar region: ice and permafrost. These have allowed a huge natural archive to emerge, offering rich sources for natural scientists and historians alike. Examining the debate on the notion of (›natural‹) archive, the cultural semantics and historicity of the meaning of concepts like ›warm‹, ›cold‹, ›freezing‹ and ›melting‹ as well as various works of literature, art and science on Arctic topics, this volume brings together literary scholars, historians of knowledge and philosophy, art historians, media theorists and archivologists. »Boasting an impressive collection of literary scholars, theorists, and scientists from several disciplinary backgrounds, this thoroughly researched and engagingly written volume provides an excellent foundation for future work on an intriguing and worthwhile subject.« Matthew S. Wiseman, H-Net-Reviews, 1 (2021) Besprochen in: Zitty, 23 (2019), Claudia Wahjudi

Dieser Band stellt die Intensivierung der kulturpolitischen Aktivitäten und des internationalen literarischen Austausches in und um Berlin in den Jahren unmittelbar nach dem Mauerbau anhand von Fallbeispielen vor. Die 12 Beiträge liefern eine verdichtete Beschreibung jener Phase in der Entwicklung Berlins, in der die geteilte Stadt mit Blick auf die Internationalisierung des Literatur- und Kulturbetriebs eine Vorreiterfunktion übernahm. This volume uses case studies to present the international literary exchange that took place in and around Berlin in the years directly following the construction of the wall and to show how cultural political activities intensified. The fourteen contributions describe in detail a phase in the development of Berlin in which the divided city took on a pioneering role in the internationalization of literary and cultural activities.
