Explorations in Digital Interculturality
Digital intercultural experiences are shaped by broader sociocultural dynamics, including migration, corporate discourse, and social activism. This volume offers a comprehensive exploration of ‘digital interculturality’, drawing on insights from intercultural communication studies, sociolinguistics, and adjacent fields. The contributors examine how digital technologies—such as social media platforms, translation apps, and artificial intelligence—mediate intercultural encounters, identities, and meaning-making processes. Together, these perspectives advance our understanding of the entanglement of intercultural communication with digital technologies, laying the groundwork for ‘digital interculturality’ as an emerging interdisciplinary field.
Lifewide Learning in Postdigital Societies
The Internet has penetrated material reality to such an extent that it is now often impossible to disentangle the material from the virtual. In this postdigital scenario, the encounter with ›newness‹ becomes accessible at the touch of a button, 24/7. Learning becomes a lifewide experience which allows for the emergence of new culturalities. The contributors to this volume engage with cultural changes brought about by an intensified digitalization process in the context of formal education but also shed light on unexpected contexts in which informal learning experiences take place every day, strengthening diasporas, creating new connections and transforming ourselves and our societies.
Reimagining Digital Cosmopolitanism
Cosmopolitanism remains a multifaceted, widely-used concept. Cultural theory and empirical research have not remained stagnant, and a number of further theoretical and empirically-based concepts have emerged, not least postdigitality and postmigrancy. The »post« in these terms does not denote an end, but rather societal transformation due to and interwoven with both digitality and migration. The contributors to this volume call for new perspectives on the concept of cosmopolitanism, in the light of postdigitality and postmigrancy. The contributions reflect on a theoretical and an empirical level the need to reimagine cosmopolitanism for the twenty-first century.

The Role of the Trial in the School Prose of the Weimar Republic
Employing the Wilhelmine and Weimar periods as a frame of reference, this invaluable study of the Schulliteratur composed during the Weimar Republic presents a judicious analysis of school prose written by Hermann Sudermann, Frank Thiess, Klaus Mann and others. More importantly, it clearly illuminates social, cultural and political values in which the German people have traditionally placed stock and provides trenchant insight into the kaleidoscopic nature of the Weimar Republic and its effect on these beliefs. It proves convincingly that the school prose of the Weimar Republic is a mirror of a most fascinating era in German history, and, as such, deserves more than oblivion.
