To what extent can Islam be localized in an increasingly interconnected world? The contributions to this volume investigate different facets of Muslim lives in the context of increasingly dense transregional connections, highlighting how the circulation of ideas about 'Muslimness' contributed to the shaping of specific ideas about what constitutes Islam and its role in society and politics. Infrastructural changes have prompted the intensification of scholarly and trade networks, prompted the circulation of new literary genres or shaped stereotypical images of Muslims. This, in turn, had consequences in widely differing fields such as self-representation and governance of Muslims. The contributions in this volume explore this issue in geographical contexts ranging from South Asia to Europe and the US. Coming from the disciplines of history, anthropology, religious studies, literary studies and political science, the authors collectively demonstrate the need to combine a translocal perspective with very specific local and historical constellations. The book complicates conventional academic divisions and invites to think in historically specific translocal contexts.

Das Verhältnis von Literatur und Transnationalität ist bislang vornehmlich in Einzelstudien thematisiert worden. Das Handbuch führt erstmals systematisch und historisch die aktuell diskutierten Forschungsperspektiven und den in verschiedener Hinsicht erprobten besonderen Erkenntniswert des Begriffs der Transnationalität - etwa gegenüber Internationalität und Transkulturalität - für die kulturwissenschaftlich fundierte Literaturforschung zusammen. In einer Vielzahl von Beiträgen zu theoretischen Grundlagen und methodischen Konzepten dokumentiert der Band, dass die Konjunktur des Begriffs - in Soziologie, Ökonomie, Politik- und Geschichtswissenschaft, Migrations- und Urbanitätsforschung - mittlerweile auch die Literaturwissenschaften erreicht und ein interdisziplinär äußerst produktives Forschungsfeld eröffnet hat. Überblicksdarstellungen und Einzelanalysen reflektieren Wirkmächtigkeit und Grenzen nationalliterarischer Kategorisierung in Literaturen der Gegenwart wie in historischer Perspektive und führen exemplarisch Formen und Verfahren transnationaler Literatur vor. The handbook compiles essays on history and theory as well as the forms and procedures of transnational literatures. Starting from the observation that in the face of globalization and migration, literature is progressively less describable by the traditional categories of national literatures and languages, it examines the historical dimensions of this phenomenon and finds connections to theories of transnationality from related disciplines.

This volume examines Ibero-American as well as Slavic literatures of the 21st century and studies how historical imaginaries in family narratives are functionalized for both individual and collective and (post-)national identities. The analysis proceeds along three conceptual axes. What these narratives have in common is that they construct specific constellations of the historical imagination and of family, whereby ‘family’ is here conceived not so much as an organic micro-unity, but rather as changing, multiple relations between individual members, godparents, first- and second-degree relatives, non-blood-related family members, present and absent members, adopted children, etc. Furthermore, these novels are often grounded in trans-generational memories. They are written by members of a generation that, as a rule, did not directly experience these historical events. It is also significant that these narratives are no longer conceived as representing national identities, but paradigmatically speak for a collective that defines itself in regional, ethnic, religious or ideological terms. It seems, therefore, that these narratives of family constellations are in need of more flexible typological rubrics and interpretive frameworks. Intended as a sustained comparative study of these family narratives, this volume is a contribution in understanding how historical caesura, experiences, and their literary representation work on the self-understanding of the present.

Wie organisieren transnationale Familien ihre multi-lokalen Lebenswelten? Welche Bedeutung kommt innerfamiliären Hierarchien zu? Welche sozialwissenschaftlichen Methodologien sind geeignet, um das transnationale Familienleben im gesellschaftlichen Kontext zu erforschen? Anhand der biographieanalytischen Untersuchung einer Familie aus dem ehemaligen Jugoslawien zeigt Eveline Ammann Dula die Verknüpfung der Mikro-, Meso- und Makro-Ebenen von Migrationsprozessen auf und betrachtet biographische Narrationen als Artikulation transnationaler sozialer Räume. Sie zeigt dabei die wechselseitige Beeinflussung und intergenerationale Übertragung von Migrationserfahrungen auf. Die empirische Studie schließt an die Transnationale Migrationsforschung, die Biographieforschung und die Intersektionalitätsforschung an. »Für die Forschung zu Familien im transnationalen Migrationskontext hat Eveline Ammann Dula [...] mit ihrer Forschungsstudie einen bedeutenden Baustein geliefert, der in den entsprechenden wissenschaftlichen Diskursen Resonanz finden sollte.« Hans Günther Homfeldt, www.socialnet.de, 22.08.2019 Besprochen in: InfoDienst Migration, 4 (2019)

Wie sind die neuesten Entwicklungen der Gender Studies vor dem Hintergrund ihrer Historie zu bewerten? Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes diskutieren diese Fragestellung in drei thematischen Blöcken und einem Prolog und stellen dabei das Potential der Disziplin heraus: Biographische Rückblicke treffen auf politische Ansätze und künstlerische Interventionen. Die einzelnen Beiträge entsprechen Schlaglichtern, die sowohl Dis- als auch Kontinuitäten der Diskurse beleuchten. Die hier entstehenden Synergieeffekte bestätigen die Notwendigkeit eines entgrenzenden Dialogs im Fach, sowohl transdisziplinär als auch transnational.
