Aims & Scope

When the first issue of the journal POETICA was published in 1967, the founding editor Karl Maurer wrote in his editorial: "Today, the time seems to have arrived for a 'philology of the world literature' (Erich Auerbach), which can no longer afford a specialism buried in a narrow and intimate circle.

Methodological achievements and historical knowledge of all philological disciplines have to be constantly exchanged for mutual benefit and encouragement".

This exchange continues to be central to the journal.

Given the multitude of methods and theories on the one hand and the dissolution of the boundaries of literary studies in cultural studies on the other, however, this exchange with neighboring disciplines and subject areas must now aim above all at sharpening the specific characteristics of literary studies.

In this way POETICA wants to contribute towards securing that special feature of literary studies which will make it an interesting and therefore highly demanded discussion partner in the future, that is able to offer constitutive competencies which are not trained elsewhere.
