    This book is a study of the forensic theatricality of human rights claims in literary texts about slavery in the sixteenth and the nineteenth century in the Spanish Empire. The book centers on the question: how do literary texts use theatrical, multisensorial strategies to denunciate the violence against enslaved people and make a claim for their rights? The Spanish context is particularly interesting because of its early tradition of human rights thinking in the Salamanca School (especially Bartolomé de Las Casas), developed in relation to slavery and colonialism. Taking its point of departure in forensic aesthetics, the book analyzes five forms of non-narrative theatricality: allegorical, carnivalesque, tragicomic, melodramatic and tragic. Karen-Margrethe Simonsen is Associate Professor of Comparative Literature at Aarhus University, Denmark.

    Drawing on a Marxist concept of world literature, this book is a study of the manipulations of time in contemporary anglophone fiction from Africa and South Asia. Through critical work and literary reading, this research explores the times other than the present that seem to haunt an era of capitalist globalisation: nostalgic feelings about bygone ideals of identity and community, appeals to Golden Ages, returns of the repressed and anxious anticipations of global extinction and catastrophe. The term non-synchronism explored in this book captures these dislocations of the present, while offering a critical lens to grasp the politics of time of an era marked by the continuing expansion of capitalist modernity. Most importantly, non-synchronism is a dialectical paradigm charged with antagonistic political valences. The literary analysis presented in the volume hence connects the literary manipulation of time to discourses on extinction, accumulation, nostalgia, modernity and survival in global politics and literature.

    Europa ist nie ein politisches oder kulturelles „Elitenprojekt“ gewesen. Europa ist vielmehr in den Zwischenräumen von vermeintlich „hoher“ und „niederer“ Kunst zu verorten. Das belegen die literatur- und sprachwissenschaftlichen sowie kulturtheoretischen Beiträge in diesem Band. Sie zeigen, dass ästhetische Darstellungen der Moderne und Postmoderne von Hugo von Hofmannsthal bis Sibylle Lewitscharoff immer wieder auf zeitgenössische Narrative und Figurationen Europas aus der Populär- und Alltagskultur zurückgreifen. Gleiches gilt für Friedrich Nietzsches Philosophem des „guten Europäers“ oder das europäische Gegenwartskino. Umgekehrt demonstrieren Phänomene des Sprachwandels – wie die Entwicklung des Begriffs der Hanse – eindrucksvoll den populären Beitrag zu einem offenen und durchlässigen Europa. Kulturpoetische Vis-à-vis-Lektüren Mumbais und Europas sowie Museums- und Ausstellungsprojekte im deutsch-dänischen Grenzgebiet weisen in die gleiche Richtung. In ihnen wird ein offenes Europa sichtbar, ein interkultureller und medialer Übergangsraum zwischen High und Low
