The series Gegenwartsliteratur in Mitteleuropa provides a forum for literary scholars and cultural scientists. The focus is on cultures and literatures of Central Europe (geographically: from Germany, Austria, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Bosnia, Croatia, Montenegro, and Serbia). In addition to comparative and cultural studies on literature in the Central European cultural area, studies on individual cultures and literatures are also presented. Thus, the series presents as diverse and comparative research results as possible on the literature of the Central European region, focussing on cultural, comparative, theoretical or media-oriented aspects.
The series is open to conference proceedings, anthologies, monographs, bibliographies as well as qualification papers (dissertations, post-doctoral theses). They are selected by the Editorial Board and an international Advisory Board and are subject to peer review. The Editorial Board decides on inclusion.
