Ela Gezen, associate professor of German, together with Jon Cho-Polizzi, assistant professor of German at the University of Michigan, will serve as co-editor of a new book series, “German Literatures in (Post)Migration,” to be published by global academic publisher Palgrave Macmillan.

The series will focus on literatures on post-migration in the context of 20^th and 21^st century Germany and consider a broad range of temporal and geopolitical contexts that investigate how movement and mobility have impacted and transformed the literary landscape and institutions in the German-speaking world.

The series is particularly concerned with the examination of trans-textual relationships and thematic proximities, shared interpretative frameworks and intersecting aesthetic concerns, the limits of singular national canons, literary alliances and anti-racist interventions, multilingual and multimedia formats, and new reading habits and changes in methodological approaches to literary analysis.

It will also seek to promote new conversations about literary texts and contexts by negotiating engagement between authorship and scholarship, translation as both theory and practice, as well as public-facing formats as essential components of the literary landscape. 

In addition to monographs and edited volumes, publications will include translations that expand and problematize the boundaries of contemporary literary research, including translational and archival interventions.
