Zeitschrift für interkulturelle Germanistik, 7. Jahrgang, 2016, Heft 1

The Journal of Intercultural German Studies (ZiG) reflects the fact that interculturalism, as a leading and innovative research category, has established itself in national and international German studies. The journal takes on current issues in the field of Germanic literature, culture, and linguistics, and seeks to help bring together different tendencies and trends in interculturality research to deepen their theoretical assumptions. To the extent that, in principle, the research paradigm of interculturality can no longer be thought of as a single discipline, the journal deliberately considers itself to be an interdisciplinary and comparatively open medium located in the international scientific context. The ZiG is published twice a year.
