AbstractTwo influential but strangely separate bodies of research have emerged in the field of Politics and Literature. Either political theorists write about literature in a theoretical way by describing how literature enriches our understanding of politics, or they interpret individual works of literature. Comprehensive methodological accounts that aim to connect these two research literatures do not exist. In order to start such a methodological debate, the article will ask what methodology means in Politics and Literature. It will identify five methodological questions, ranging from how to read literary elements of style and how to deal with fictionality to what else to do with literature apart from interpretation. Any set of answers to these questions can be called a methodology in the field, and every methodology must find answers to all five questions.

Abstract: Drawing examples from pioneering, established, and emerging African writers' works, this article advocates an enrichment of global literature through Western and African writers' and critics' acknowledgement and celebration of the existence of a plurality of literary canons. It limns the Africanization of global literature and the globalization of African literature by arguing that African literature has unduly suffered from biased comparisons and subsequent denigrations by Western critics, who often uncritically dub Western literature the canon that needs to be sheepishly emulated by African writers who wish to enjoy global or universal acclaim. The article concludes that both global and African literatures would be enormously fecundated if their writers and critics were to acknowledge the existence of regional canons and masterpieces, thereby encouraging literary communities to nurture and celebrate their own canons and masterpieces, alongside the canons and masterpieces of other societies, in a spirit of creative complementarity.

"In this work, one of Latin America's most renowned legal philosophers conducts a comprehensive survey of the ancient Greek understanding of the law, drawing on texts by poets (Hesiod), philosophers (Anaximander), playwrights (Aeschylus and Sophocles), and historians (Herodotus and Thucydides). The book ends with a finely detailed analysis of the relationship between language and reality in Aristotle, and the emergence of the notion of the system and its subsequent introduction into Roman law. The author's in-depth study of all these aspects makes this volume an essential reference for philosophers, jurists, and historians"--

"This book explores literary representations of African immigrant experiences in Western countries, against the backdrop of colonial stereotypes and recent expressions of anti-immigrant sentiment in Europe and America. The book deploys the concept of coloniality of migrancy to explore how global coloniality continues to shape the identities and lived experiences of African immigrants as represented in African diasporic literatures. It considers the persistence of racist and discriminatory attitudes and patterns of thought that developed during slavery and colonialism, and asks to what extent it is possible for African immigrants to transcend race in their configuration of their identity. Five key twenty-first century African diasporic novels are considered in the analysis: Imbolo Mbue's Behold the Dreamers, Dave Eggers' What is the What: The Autobiography of Valentino Achak Deng, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Americanah, NoViolet Bulawayo's We Need New Names and Helon Habila's Travellers. Overall, the book demonstrates that despite the hostility migrants of colour encounter, Africans are shunning the victimhood of colonialism and slavery and finding alternative ways of navigating and inhabiting the modern world. Foregrounding the usefulness of decoloniality and postcolonial theory as theoretical tools, this book will be an invaluable resource to researchers across the fields of African literature, migration, sociology, politics, and decolonial studies"--

Der Dialog ist für die einen das Versprechen gelingender Kommunikation, für die anderen ein überholtes Ideal. Der Autor zeigt in einer interdisziplinär angelegten Studie, dass sich die Lücke zwischen Lobpreisungen und Abgesängen schließen lässt. Er setzt bei der Unmöglichkeit des Denkens "nach der Shoah" an und erkundet in exemplarischen Untersuchungen der europäischen Literatur-, Theater- und Theoriegeschichte die Spannungen und Widersprüche im Verhältnis zum "Anderen", ohne die der Dialog nicht zu greifen ist. So macht er zwischenmenschliche, soziale und politische Vorgänge als prinzipiell unabschließbares Sprachgeschehen fassbar und eröffnet einen Spielraum für die Aushandlung und das Aushalten von Dissens und Differenz.
