Parallelen, Korrespondenzen und Nachwirkungen

The academic book "Parallels, Correspondences, and Aftereffects" offers a comprehensive analysis of the reception history of Georg Lukács in philosophy and literary studies. Originating from a joint project of the Department of German Studies at Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest and the Institute for German as a Foreign Language Philology at Heidelberg University, the volume gathers various case studies developed in four workshops as part of the "Eastern Partnerships" program of the German Academic Exchange Service. The contributions address the interconnections between contemporary German and Hungarian culture and illuminate the far-reaching aftereffects of Lukács' work. The mutual engagement of significant thinkers such as Karl Mannheim, Ernst Bloch, and Georg Lukács is brought into focus to question the critical reception and the development of classical interpretative approaches. The book is aimed at professionals and interested readers who wish to engage with the complex interactions between literature, philosophy, and culture.
