Von der einen Nation zur kulturell vielfältigen Region. Der „spatial turn“ als Provokation der Nationalphilologien
Von der einen Nation zur kulturell vielfältigen Region. Der „spatial turn“ als Provokation der Nationalphilologien

Summary/Abstract: What will the „spatial turn“ in international scholarship discourse add to the Germanic Studies? The term will first be specified in regard to German (and partly also Polish) history. The focus will be on such concepts as ‚space‘, ‚nation‘, ‚region‘ and ‚semiosphere‘. After a few detours, it will then become clear that the „spatial turn“ provides a productive challenge for the philology of nationally defined areas of research such as Germanic Studies. It teases with its basic principles and loosens them up.
