This new series presents original scholarly and essayistic work addressing the central status
of literature in and for the human sciences. At stake in the monographs and essay collections
are paradigms of literary forms for thinking the human sciences: the knowledge involved in a
literary work how modes of reading and writing shape and depend on an epoch or area of
thinking literature's affinities and points of resistance to what we call the humanities and
the sciences. In other words the series examines how literature works with and upon philosophy
rhetoric technology anthropology sociology statistics economics history experimental
science mathematics etc. Paradigms is primarily concerned with German letters but also
includes its European and comparative literary contexts.All volumes will be published in
English and are first reviewed by the series editors followed by a peer review from two
academics in the particular area of specialization. Two to four volumes are planned annually.
