Fremde Verwandtschaft
Bäume und Menschen stehen in vielfältigen Beziehungen zueinander. Literaturwissenschaftlerin Solvejg Nitzke untersucht diese Vielfalt als Kulturpoetik fremder Verwandtschaft in aktuellen Diskursen.

Disruptive Encounters. Concepts of Care and Contamination out of Control. An Introduction
Introduction to the guest edited section
Narrative Trees
Interest in "new" tree narratives is rising, both in science and beyond. This calls into question what "story" and "narrative" mean in different contexts, whose story is told by whom, and how these stories are related to their material base.

Glavinic’s protagonist Jonas joins a commercial expedition to summit the world’s highest mountain. These highly criticized commercial endeavors are the opposite of Ransmayr’s scenario in which two brothers, Patrick and Liam, embark on a journey to a mythical peak – the last Himalayan moun…
