LITERARY LANDSCAPES OF TIME KARTONIERT (TB)

The volume asks how the literatures of the Americas and the Caribbean present multiple or
internally differentiated spaces and how these are distinguished or traversed by different
temporalities. The historical and (post)colonial experiences of these areas turns them into
especially fertile ground for the exploration of the connections between landscape geography
and historical temporal palimpsests as well as the specificities of literary form. The
contributions are dedicated to individual  yet conceptually interconnected studies of staggered
multiple  non-simultaneous temporalities in modern and contemporary literature. The volume
adopts a comparative perspective throughout and intends to foster the dialogue between the
study of Latin American and Caribbean literatures-in Spanish  Portuguese  French  and English.
Therefore  the individual essays are not grouped according to geographical or linguistic areas
but follow a trajectory from spatiotemporal constellations of the 19th century to ruined
catastrophic landscapes and the geopoetic inscriptions of time in regions. The essays should
appeal to all readers interested in World Literature  Hemispheric Studies as well as temporal
approaches to space and geography.
