Liebes- und Ehepaare, Koalitionäre, Zweikämpfer, Freunde, Kontrahenten oder auch Geschwister spielen in der Literatur von Anbeginn eine zentrale Rolle. Paarkonstellationen wie diese bilden aus zwei Einheiten eine dritte, in der sie weiterbestehen und gleichzeitig aufgehoben sind. In manchen Fällen ist im Laufe der Zeit die Individualität der beiden Paarbestandteile aus dem kulturellen Gedächtnis sogar ganz verschwunden. Ausgehend von den grundlegenden Beiträgen zu sprachlichen Paarbildungen und der Funktionalisierung des mythischen Dioskurenpaares analysieren die Beiträger dieses Bands Textpaare, Paarkonstellationen literarischer Figuren und Autorenkonstellationen vom Humanismus bis zur Gegenwart. The commemorative publication for Helmut Göbel and Ludger Grenzmann on the occasion of their respective 75th birthdays comprises contributions on couple constellations, particularly in German language, literature and culture. Couple constellations are entities formed by two individuals in which these individuals continue to exist but are at the same time negated. Setting out from the elemental contributions on linguistic pair formations and the functionalisation of the mythical Dioskouri, this anthology brings together in particular analyses of exemplary literary couple constellations, of authorial relationships and cases of intertextuality in diverse literary fields of cultural history from humanism to the present day.

The 15 classic essays collected in Kokoro examine the inner spiritual life of Japan. The title itself can be translated as "heart," "spirit" or "inner meaning," and that's exactly what this collection teaches us about Japan. Sometimes touching and always compelling, the writings here tell the stories of the people and social codes that make Japan the unique place it is. "Kimiko" paints the portrait of a beautiful geisha; "By Force of Karma" tells the story of a Buddhist monk; and in "A Conservative," we come to know the thoughts and actions of a Samurai. As an early interpreter of Japan to the West, Lafcadio Hearn was without parallel in his time. His numerous books about that country were read with a fascination that was a tribute to his keen powers of observation and the vividness of his descriptions. Today, even though Japan has changed greatly from what it was when he wrote about it, his writing is still valid, for it captures the essence of the country—an essence that has actually changed a good deal less than outward appearances might suggest. In a word, the Japanese character and the Japanese tradition are still fundamentally the same as Hearn found them to be, and for this reason, his books are still extremely revealing to readers in the West.
