This recognition bodes well for the future of philology and of literary production. Through multiperspectival writing, knowledge of life may be attainable without being reduced to a single political, medial, cartographical, geocultural, or aesthetic logic. As a laboratory for polylogical thinking, literature does not represent reality, as Erich Auerbach put it. Rather, it represents multiple lived, experienced, or relivable realities. Whoever is open to a polylogical reception of the literatures of the world can perceive and experience how life knowledge transforms into lived knowledge and how knowledge for survival turns into knowledge for living together. However, literature can be more than it is only if it stays aware of the void, of lack, of privation, of the interminable: aware of the end that never is an end. Such a planetary concept of the literatures of the world offers valuable opportunities to all those who do not fall into the trap of contenting themselves with a supposed abundance of text.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Hennemann2020, author = {Hennemann, Anja}, title = {Topic and Focus Markers in Spanish, Portuguese and French}, series = {Potsdam linguistic investigations ; 30}, journal = {Potsdam linguistic investigations ; 30}, publisher = {Lang}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-631-82392-7}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {307}, year = {2020}, abstract = {This book is concerned with the diachronic development of selected topic and focus markers in Spanish, Portuguese and French. On the one hand, it focuses on the development of these structures from their relational meaning to their topic-/ focus-marking meaning, and on the other hand, it is concerned with their current form und use. Thus, Romance topic and focus markers - such as sp. en cuanto a, pt. a prop{\´o}sito de, fr. au niveau de or sentence-initial sp. Lo que as well as clefts and pseudo-clefts - are investigated from a quantitative and qualitative perspective. The author argues that topic markers have procedural meaning and that their function is bound to their syntactic position. An important contribution of this study is the fact that real linguistic evidence (in the form of data from various corpora) is analyzed instead of operating with constructed examples.}, language = {en} } @article{Hassler2019, author = {Haßler, Gerda}, title = {Theory of signs and ideas on the relation between language and thought at the border between the 18th and 19th centuries}, series = {Vestnik Sankt-Peterburgskogo Universiteta.

The Ideologues had a rather reserved attitude to Condillac's (1714-1780) ideas and his sensualist sign theory. They strove for the perfection of language for the needs of thought and of scientific knowledge. The connections with the Ideologues can also be discerned in Russia. In the educational theory, Jean-Baptiste Maudru (1740-1808) was close to the Ideologues and, despite his insufficient knowledge of the Russian language, made some interesting remarks on the connection between the language and the national character. According to Maudru and in agreement with the Ideologues, different typologies of word order are not just an indication of greater or lesser closeness to the natural order. Rather, they indicate differences in national character, which manifest themselves in the specific character of individual languages. Maudru taught at the military academy in Saint Petersburg and published the first Russian grammar in France (Maudru 1802). In his grammar, he sought to link mechanically the specific features of languages and of national characters with the climatic influences. His attempt to revive the theory of climatic influences was criticized by Karamzin. Karamzin also treated the discussion of the metaphoric extension of word meanings as an absurd undertaking, which had no place in grammar.}, language = {en} } @article{Ette2003, author = {Ette, Ottmar}, title = {The World in Our Head : Images and After-Images of the City in the Works of Albert Cohen}, isbn = {0-8014-4021-1 ;}, year = {2003}, language = {en} } @article{Ette2003, author = {Ette, Ottmar}, title = {The West revisited - Max Aub : writing (while) in motion}, issn = {0034-8635}, year = {2003}, language = {en} } @article{Klettke2013, author = {Klettke, Cornelia}, title = {The voice of the other : heterotopy and heterology inBernard-Marie Koltes black battles with dogs}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @article{BoehmHennemann2018, author = {B{\"o}hm, Ver{\´o}nica Julia and Hennemann, Anja}, title = {The Spanish imperfecto as a construal form for the conceptualization of state of affairs in journalistic texts}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-416094}, pages = {18}, year = {2018}, abstract = {This study adopts a cognitive approach to the analysis of the use of the Spanish imperfecto as a construal form for the conceptualization of state of affairs in certain journalistic texts. In doing so, the main focus of the study is to investigate cognitive processes like modalization and subjectivization, which are related to the speaker's standpoint and to his subjective, not grammatically motivated, decision to use the imperfective instead of the perfective form. By the help of the corpus programmes GlossaNet and CREA (corpus of the Real Academia Espa{\~n}ola) we analyze the imperfective use of some Spanish verbs, which are semantically perfective in nature so that the normative use would require a perfective form. In other words, we investigate how the speaker/journalist construes a reality or situation to be expressed by means of the imperfecto and show that this use of the imperfect is typical for journalistic discourse.}, language = {en} } @article{Ette2001, author = {Ette, Ottmar}, title = {The scientist as Weltb{\"u}rger}, series = {HIN : Alexander von Humboldt im Netz ; international review for Humboldtian studies}, volume = {II}, journal = {HIN : Alexander von Humboldt im Netz ; international review for Humboldtian studies}, number = {2}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {2568-3543}, doi = {10.18443/10}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-34546}, pages = {41 -- 62}, year = {2001}, language = {en} } @article{PuigSamperGarrido2016, author = {Puig-Samper, Miguel {\´A}ngel and Garrido, Elisa}, title = {The presentation of the results of Alexander von Humboldt's voyage to Carlos IV}, series = {HiN : Alexander von Humboldt im Netz ; International Review for Humboldtian Studies}, volume = {XVII}, journal = {HiN : Alexander von Humboldt im Netz ; International Review for Humboldtian Studies}, number = {32}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {1617-5239}, doi = {10.18443/227}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-90788}, pages = {52 -- 64}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Ever since our first research into Alexander von Humboldt's stay in Spain, the absence of an ensuing relationship between the wise Prussian and the Spanish Crown and Authorities had always surprised us.
