Wiki "Romanian-German Literature - Actors and Institutions"

The focus is on the presentation of Romanian-German authors, cultural and literary institutions (including publishers and journals), the presentation of relevant research and its discussion, as well as the collection of information on source collections (including parts of estates and bequests, collections). Furthermore, in the long term, a bibliography of the persons presented in the wiki, which is to be continuously supplemented, is intended. The platform is designed as an interface between science, the literary world and a broader circle of interested parties. Based on the methods of the Digital Humanities, it also serves to make research in the area of § 96 of the Federal Expellees Act visible. In addition to the better-known authors, lesser-known actors and institutions are also presented, particularly female poets and prose writers who have been underrepresented in scholarly and public discourse to date (e.g., Anemone Latzina, Roswith Capesius), as well as publishing houses and literary journals about which no or hardly any reliable information is available. In addition, eyewitness accounts, clearly marked as such, will also be accessible in the wiki. On the one hand, this offers the possibility of channeling and productively redirecting the statements within the generation of experience, and on the other hand, existing gaps in the document tradition can be closed. The contents of the wiki will be generated on the one hand by merging "scattered" data already available on the net (e.g. Wikipedia contributions and blog entries) with linguistic transfers (some Romanian-German actors have only Romanian entries so far) and on the other hand by developing editorially written and thus citable own contributions.
