Our primary notions of home, orientation and the very principle of our spatial existence are threatened by territorial controversies. 'Terror' thus becomes both the passive experience and the active instrument that characterize territorial threats and impositions. Such terrors are as old as the mythical loss of paradise, but their ancient implications have not blunted our present-day sensitivities nor limited the proliferating associations and connotations in our terror-ridden political present. Analysing and understanding the mechanisms at work in the creation and the experience of 'territorial terrors' is a complex task but it may serve peaceful purposes in the discursive turmoil of our globalising planet. In the present survey, a group of young scholars from the Universities of Tübingen and Maryland, in a transatlantic effort, approached the wide field of territorial terrors from diverse perspectives. They were guided by recent theories of space and place, and they weighed and utilized recent conceptual developments in cultural theory and postcolonial discourse. In their investigations, literature (and film) can take the role of a passionate but non-violent public and educational forum through which we may possibly understand and come to terms with contested spaces and their burning questions before they kindle new forms of terror.

At the beginning of the twenty-first century it is necessary to combine into a productive programme the striving for individual emancipation and the social practice of humanism, in order to help the world survive both the ancient pitfalls of particularist terrorism and the levelling tendencies of cultural indifference engendered by the renewed imperialist arrogance of hegemonial global capital. In this book, thirty-five scholars address and negotiate, in a spirit of learning and understanding, an exemplary variety of intercultural splits and fissures that have opened up in the English-speaking world. Their methodology can be seen to constitute a seminal field of intellectual signposts. They point out ways and means of responsibly assessing colonial predicaments and postcolonial developments in six regions shaped in the past by the British Empire and still associated today through their allegiance to the idea of a Commonwealth of Nations. They show how a new ethic of literary self-assertion, interpretative mediation and critical responsiveness can remove the deeply ingrained prejudices, silences and taboos established by discrimination against race, class and gender.

Postcolonial Literatures in English have become a central field of research and study all over the world. This series of introductory readers covers (1) South Asian Literatures, (2) Australian, New Zealand and Pacific Literatures, (3) African Literatures, (4) Canadian Literatures, (5) Caribbean Literatures and (6) Black and Asian British Literatures. The edited collections of source materials are designed to help students and teachers in exploring the diversity of the global cultural networks which have arisen from the British Empire and Commonwealth. Each volume contains an introduction that sketches out major trends and developments in the region and provides recommendations for further reading. The specificities of each respective region are explored within a framework focussing on histories, identities, language, education, movements and genres, as well as transcultural perspectives. This second volume covers Australia, New Zealand and the Anglophone islands of the South Pacific, an area which spreads over a vast area of the globe and which - despite increased and still increasing global contacts through modern tourism, the internet and international business activities - still largely remains a relatively unknown territory for European readers. The reason for this lies not only in the geographical remoteness but also in the diversified historical recognition of the various ethnicities, societies, religions and linguistic outcomes of the British Empire. Moreover, a greater part of the more recent struggles of indigenous peoples of the region for cultural recognition has as yet hardly reached the consciousness of many European observers. This collection of texts hopes to assist the process of such deeper understanding and to foster further research and critical debates over issues raised by the cultural constellation of an area which, albeit remote, still has a great deal to offer to the rest of the world.

Communication across cultural borders has been the ideological-political program of the Indian state since its foundation ("Unity in Diversity"), but the opening of Indian economy and markets a decade and a half ago has led to a confrontation of Indian society with other societies and cultures never before. The technical achievements of the new media have also made communication considerably easier. As a result, the foreign language departments of the universities in the country have experienced a qualitative shift in their objectives: not only the understanding of printed texts in foreign languages is relevant today, but also increasingly the societies and cultures in which these languages are spoken. Against this background, the German Section of the Department of Foreign Languages, University of Pune, organized an international interdisciplinary conference in Pune (7-9 January 2008), at which various practical and theoretical approaches were presented that illustrate the process and the mechanisms Analyze Intercultural Understanding. This publication is a collection of contributions made during this conference; they present current theoretical positions, research methods and the practice of intercultural communication.
