Más información sobre el libro

The collection presents a series of essays addressing the current state and challenges of Romanistic and Lusitanistic studies. Hans Rheinfelder discusses the crisis in Romance philology, while Axel Schönberger offers insights into the broader implications of this situation. Matthias Perl examines the context and history of German Lusitanistics, and Klaus Zimmermann contributes a discussion on the crisis affecting both Lusitanistics and Romanistics. Rainer Schlösser provides observations on the perceived crisis, and Hans-Ingo Raddatz questions whether it is a crisis affecting only certain scholars. Johannes Kramer critiques the relationship between Lusitanistics and Romanistics, suggesting it may lead to misguided paths. Further contributions include Schönberger's theses on the future of Romanistics and Perl's reflections on the specifics of German Lusitanistics. Burkhard Voigt debates the identity of Romanistics versus Romance studies, while Manfred Tietz discusses the potential for a "reasonable end" to the crisis. Other essays explore the state of Lusitanistic programs in various German universities, including insights from Helmut Feldmann and Javier Gómez-Montero on institutions in Cologne and Trier. The collection also addresses the situation in Austria and Switzerland, alongside discussions on Afroluitanistics and the role of Galician studies within the broader context of German Romanistics.
