By its nature, the historical novel constitutes an interdisciplinary tool, since it converges a set of knowledge that closely touches different areas of knowledge, and as such plays a very important role in General Studies. This proposal is specifically circumscribed in the field of General Studies, taking into account that from them "inter and transdisciplinarity" are promoted. Due to its educational potential, the historical novel as an interdisciplinary tool plays an important role in the construction of citizenship and democracy, which is an aspiration of General Studies. The objective pursued through this work is: To highlight the value of the historical novel as an interdisciplinary tool for the articulation of different areas of knowledge. The expository and argumentative nature of this work is based on the research, reading, analysis and consultation of different bibliographic sources that corroborate the educational value of literature as the setting of which the historical novel is part, as well as the specific benefits that working with the historical novel relies on the exemplification and clarification of the knowledge implicit in the historical novel from a specific one: The kingdom of this world by Alejo Carpentier. In summary, this article will allow to approach the historical novel and literature from a different perspective: resources through which they can articulate knowledge from the different areas converging on them. ; Por su naturaleza, la novela histórica constituye una herramienta interdisciplinar, puesto que en ella converge un conjunto de saberes que tocan de cerca distintas áreas del conocimiento y como tal, juega un papel importantísimo en los Estudios Generales.

Obwohl Praktiken des Lektorats und des Mentorats zum alltäglichen Bestandteil schriftstellerischer Tätigkeiten gehören, wurden sie von den Literaturwissenschaften bislang kaum untersucht. Der bilinguale Band versammelt Akteure aus dem literarischen Feld sowie der Autorschafts- und Schreibprozesstheorie, welche die Öffnung des Schreibprozesses grundlegend reflektieren. Ihre Beiträge umfassen nicht nur Erfahrungsberichte von Autor_innen, Lektor_innen und Mentor_innen sowie Einblicke in Lehrmethoden des literarischen Schreibens an Hochschulen in verschiedenen Ländern Europas, sondern auch theoretische Ansätze zu einer intersubjektiven literarischen Praxis sowie Entwürfe für dialogische Literaturbegriffe im Zeitalter des Publizierens im Internet. Although practices of editing and mentoring are part of an author's daily activities, they have previously been largely neglected by the literary studies. The bilingual volume therefore assembles players from the fields of literary production and theories of authorship and the writing process, who discuss the development towards an opening up of the creative writing process. Their contributions encompass not only reports of experiences made by authors, editors, and mentors and insights into teaching methods applied in creative writing classes at higher education institutions in different European countries. They also explore theoretical approaches to an intersubjective literary practice as well as suggestions for the definition of a dialogic notion of literature in the age of online publishing.

Klappentext: Wurde Walther Rathenau bislang vornehmlich als Politiker und Gropindustrieller gewürdigt, so erfaßt diese Studie unterschiedliche Aspekte seines schriftstellerischen Handelns: sein literarisch ambitioniertes und kulturkritisches Werk und dessen Aufnahme in der zeitgenössischen Literatur, seine Stellung im damaligen Literaturleben und seine Spiegelung in den Werken belletristischer Autoren.

This new collection of J. Hillis Miller's essays centres on the question "why and to what end should we read, teach, and spend our time with literary and/or cultural studies?" At a time when electronic media seem to dominate the market completely, and jobs follow the money flows into electronic and technical fields, literary and cultural studies might appear as a decorative addenda but not really necessary for the process of growth and development, neither in business nor in the area of personal development. This question is not really new, it has many facets, requires differentiated answers which depend and mirror the political and cultural climate of a society. - Der vorliegende Band ist eine neue thematisch orientierte Zusammenstellung von Hillis Millers jüngeren Arbeiten, die alle um die eine Frage kreisen: warum und wozu Literaturwissenschaft, oder im erweiterten Sinne 'Kulturwissenschaft' - im Zeitalter der elektronischen Medien und der vorwiegend nachgefragten technologischen Berufe der heutigen Zeit weder in der Geschäftswelt noch in der persönlichen Entwicklung? Diese Frage ist nicht ganz neu, hat viele Facetten und erfordert differenzierte Antworten, die vom politischen und kulturellen Klima einer Gesellschaft abhängen.

Modern comparative literature with globalization phenomenon extends linguistic and political boundaries, even for conserving and revitalizing languages particularly minor languages with cultural and ethnic exchanges. Such this emergence of comparative literature might return from contemporary translational and cultural studies as crucial and effective factors in the study of comparative literature. The role, relationship, and impact of translation and cultural studies on modern comparative literature are explored via a descriptive analysis. Translational and cultural studies in current comparative literature studies facilitate the relevant studies and they play a supplementary role for literary study. This study confirms a significant relationship exists among contemporary translational, cultural, and literary works intangibly and inevitably that helps to study comparative literary works. The findings report cultural and translational studies can be fruity informing literary studies, new writing styles besides intercultural conversation; nevertheless, scholars of comparative literature have argued that their discipline has been significantly subsumed and substituted by translation studies. The results indicate contemporary translation and cultural studies have paved the way for comparative literature researchers to achieve cultural knowledge and to strengthen the culture with developing national literature.
