Die literarische Agenda

Diese Reihe befasst sich mit der entscheidenden Bedeutung von Literatur und Lesen in der heutigen Welt und untersucht kritisch den Zustand der Literaturvermittlung an akademischen Einrichtungen. Jeder Band bietet eine polemische Perspektive darauf, wie traditionelle literarische Werte sowohl durch interne Disziplinen als auch durch externe Einflüsse in Frage gestellt werden. In einer Zeit wirtschaftlicher Zwänge und technologischer Veränderungen plädiert die Reihe für eine Erneuerung und belebt die Diskussion über die Bedeutung und den Wert des literarischen Lesens für kritisches Denken neu.
