Abstract :
[en] The term "Heimat" is in vogue - in popular culture as well as in literary and cultural studies research. For a long time, the term "Heimat" was considered merely an ideological concept of "völkisch" thinking. However, contemporary reflections in literature and culture, for example in the genre of the village story, reveal diverse and ambivalent points of view. Against this background, the anthology is devoted, on the one hand, to those works from the 19th to the 21st century that were formative for the development of the Heimat discourse. On the other hand, previously less intensively discussed texts are (re)discovered and examples from the fields of film and television are also included.
