The present paper focuses on the importance of urban space within cultural and literary studies. The review presents one of the newest studies in the field – METROPOLEN ALS ORTE DER BEGEGNUNG UND ISOLATION: INTERKULTURELLE PERSPEKTIVEN AUF DEN URBANEN RAUM ALS SUJET IN LITERATUR UND FILM that analyses in its 726 pages the concept of space related to important world metropolises from a literary, cultural, social point of view.

The paper presents Horst Samson’s volume of poetry Kein Schweigen bleibt ungehört -No silence stays unheard (2013). The review focuses on the main themes dealt with: emigration / exile, absurd existence within the Romanian society during the communist period and national socialist past of the former generation of the German ethnics in Romania. Although the themes may seem disparate one from another, the analysis shows eventually similarities in the stances of the lyrical self.
The present article studies the language plays within the German poetry in Romania and Romanian Poetry during the 1970s. The paper focuses on the language plays resulting from both intertextuality and hypertextuality as well as on the deconstruction of language in poetry by the use of language in rhyme, alliteration, homophony and homonymy in order to find similarities between the verse of two literatures written within a decade. The study researches what significance language plays have for the German poetry of Romania and for the Romanian poetry during 1970s, how and why they manifest resemblances respectively differences.
The present paper deals with inter- and hypertextual relations between two unpublished elegies of the Romanian poet of German origin Anemone Latzina and R M. Rilke’s Duino Elegies. The research aims at uncovering the importance of Rilke as an author of the German Modernity in times of dictatorship, as Rilke’s texts provided trust, hope, courage and strength. So the reception of the German poetry of the Modernity is to be understood both as individual as well as generational.
Fiktion und Fakten am Beispiel Carmen Elisabeth Puchianus Prosaband "Amsel – schwarzer Vogel"
(2017)
Literary productions live in a multi-dimensional context. On the one hand, the author and his/her reality play a significant role in the creation of the text; on the other hand, the reference to reality takes place through reception, that is, in a dimension where the author and the text are powerless. I would like to research on Carmen Elisabeth Puchianu’s stories Amsel–schwarzer Vogel (München 1995) from this point of view, as some texts have triggered outrageous reactions. These can be explained to some extent as a confusion between fact and fiction as well as a rejection of new literary discourses both in the German literature in Romania and Romanian literature after the political changes in 1989.
Considering the sixty years long existence of the German weekly in Braşov an exhaustive research of the publication on the way from a centralized to a globalized socio-political system becomes imperious. Our article represents a first approach to pinpoint the choice of poetry published by the German weekly Karpatenrundschau during the nineteen eighties and nineteen nineties as a consequence of both political compromise and aesthetic demand. In this respect the article analyses the German weekly as one of the main promoters of German poetry written in Romania. The article is based on our research done in the archives of the weekly in Braşov.
