Ebook: Literatur als Wagnis / Literature as a Risk: DFG-Symposium 2011

An engagement with the complex semantics of the terms “risk-taking” and “risk” promises to provide significant insights about important and perhaps fundamental elements of literary writing in the modern and contemporary eras. The papers from this comparative literature symposium sponsored by the German Research Foundation (DFG) examine the history of “risk-taking” and “risk” in the contexts of literature, aesthetic poetology, and history.
