- The special journal issue of Oxford German Studies, Ulrike Almut Sandig: Prose, Poetry and Performance, edited by Bartel and Nicola Thomas (2018, 47(3)), presents the first comprehensive volume on this important German writer (b. 1979), whose influence on the literary scenes in Germany, English-speaking and other countries has been recognized through numerous prizes, e.g. the Horst Bingel Prize for Literature (2018). Bartel’s aim was to offer a scholarly insight into Sandig’s extensive work, which encompasses prose and poetry as well as a range of performance aspects including song, music, technical sound and film experimentations, textual interventions into urban spaces as well as numerous transnational collaborations. As co-editor of the volume and co-author of the introduction, and as single author of the chapter ‘Challenging Perspectives’ (pp. 351–365), Bartel made a substantial research contribution to the whole volume. Her direction of the research brought together nine articles by well-established scholars and early career researchers who each explore individual aspects of Sandig’s work. Two half-day workshops (2017, 2018) led by Bartel and Thomas (50/50) while preparing the volume – one attended by Sandig herself – facilitated extensive exchange between contributors and enabled the editors to outline the links between contributions. This exchange was developed further through Bartel’s close collaboration with Sandig (UoN Writer in Residence 2015), who contributed a previously unpublished text and advised on a new translation (by Peter Thompson) of one of her short stories for the volume. The journal reflects this co-editorial and intellectual effort by Bartel, resulting in a comprehensive volume on the perspectives Sandig’s work offers on language, landscape, myth, history and the role of subject and voice, as outlined in Bartel and Thomas’s introduction ‘Ulrike Almut Sandig’s Universe’.
