Reihe: Internationale Forschungen zur Allgemeinen und Vergleichenden Literaturwissenschaft

Focusing on the so far insufficiently considered concept of long modernity, this volume brings together contributions by leading European and American scholars in the fields of Literature, Cultural Studies, Intellectual and Cultural History. Behind it are research, debates and academic events organized by the Centre of Excellence for the Study of Cultural Identity, University of Bucharest, on modernity as a Western project. The book distinguishes phases in its unfolding, from the early, via the classic and high to the late modern period. Each chapter reveals a marked interdisciplinary approach to the various aspects of this century-old process. The theoretical introduction provides the conceptual scaffolding further fleshed out by individual chapters and case studies meant as illustrations. Staff and students interested in cultural identity are expected to find this collection useful and relevant.
