- This 459-page volume builds on Göttsche’s work since 2009 to create an interdisciplinary European research network in comparative Postcolonial Studies, activity supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, Germany, and NIAS, the Nederlandse Institute of Advanced Studies, among others. Göttsche developed the volume’s conceptual and research framework and commissioned contributions from 55 authors in 13 countries. His aim was to produce the first comprehensive account of literary Postcolonial Studies in any European language, covering the full range of European languages and literatures along with the relevant academic disciplines internationally and other Arts & Humanities and Social Sciences subjects such as Linguistics, History, Politics and Sociology. His oversight and direction shaped the volume’s combination of a critical review of German and international Postcolonial Studies with new research and a rigorous comparative methodology that aims to provide a distinctive interdisciplinary reference in the field. In addition to providing the volume’s research focus, Göttsche co-authored the Introduction (with Dunker and Dürbeck; share 50%) and chapter 13 on intra-European colonialism (with Annus, Bobinac and Patrut; share 20%). He conceptualized and authored most of the literary-historical chapter 57 on German literature 1965–1989 (with Albrecht, Dunker and Gerstner; share 80%) and mapped out entirely unchartered territory in the co-authored chapter 61 on German colonialism portrayed in other literatures (with Berman and Schüller; share 33.3%). He single-authored chapter 17, chapter 58 on contemporary German literature, and 59 on German postcolonial literature, adding new research of his own to the synthesis of existing knowledge and his own previous publications. Göttsche’s chapters and chapter shares total 32,391 words.
