Textpraxis # 21

In Textpraxis #21, Joachim Harst traces the work and reception of Sigmund Freud and uses his »Fragment of a Hysteria Analysis« to examine the significance of the »case history« in psychoanalytic therapy and theory. Teresa Wolf’s contribution deals with the functions of addressing and re-addressing in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s novel »Americanah«, and Daniela Henke addresses the challenges that the current debates surrounding so-called identity politics pose for literary theory and literary practice.

Textpraxis publishes contributions from all philological disciplines on the topics of literature and society, theories of literary studies and literary studies and practice. Since Textpraxis is an Open Access Journal, all articles are immediately accessible for free.

A new issue of Textpraxis appears every six months. Responses to articles already published are highly appreciated and will be published continuously.

In the spirit of a collaborative scientific understanding, Textpraxis neglects an anonymous peer review process and instead leads reviewers and authors into a productive dialogue. Registered readers can participate in this dialogue through comments once the article has been published.

The debate surrounding #IchBinHanna and #IchBinReyhan has been continuously surging for over a year. It is time for a Textpraxis podcast: In this episode, we talk with Iuditha Balint (Fritz-Hüser-Institut für Literatur and Kultur der Arbeitswelt in Dortmund), Kristin Eichhorn (Universität Stuttgart), and Mahshid Mayar (Universität Bielefeld) about the hashtag campaign, the WissenschaftsZeitVertragsGesetz, and working conditions in German academia.

Das Politische im Pop

The Sound of Germany

In: Sonderausgabe # 5 (2.2021)

In the second episode of our podcast »Philology under Discussion«, Immanuel Nover (Koblenz-Landau) and Kerstin Wilhelms (Münster) discuss the political dimension of pop music, addressing questions raised by the current special issue »The Sound of Germany« and discuss the German rapper Sookee and the rap-collective 187 Strassenbande. By putting these two side-by-side, Nover and Wilhelms read the political as a process of social negotiation, which considers the songs’ lyrical content but also the specific aesthetic techniques and processes that constitute their form.
