  abstract  = {Due to an ever-increasing number of automobiles on the roads, automobility fails more and more to fulfil its promise of free individual mobility, leading to traffic density and congestions of unprecedented proportions. However, those conditions seem to possess an aesthetic potential which we seek to analyze in terms of literature. Therefore, we are going to look on three novels from Romance-language areas: Julio Cort{\´a}zar's short story La autopista del sur (1966), Carlo Lucarelli's novel Autosole (1998) and Gr{\´e}goire Gauchet's novel Les robinsons de l'autoroute (2018). First, we will analyze the nature of deceleration/congestion by referring to human geographer Tim Cresswell's concept of friction. Second, we will examine recurring motifs linked to the deceleration/congestion in all novels before taking a closer look at Gauchet's novel where the friction not only applies to traffic but also to human relationships. The aim is to look at different literary representations of an everyday experience like traffic congestion and to see how literature deals with such an occurrence.},

  abstract  = {This article examines principles of gender assignment in the German and Spanish language and in this way tries to answer the question of why loanwords are preferably assigned a particular gender and what criteria motivate this choice. After introducing some general aspects about gender as well as some important properties of the German and Spanish gender systems, this paper compares several formal (morphological and phonological) and semantic rules regarding gender assignment. Despite large structural differences between the languages, the comparison shows that the assignment rules prove to be in a sense cross-lingual, which do not only testify to the assumption but also the validity of an underlying system of rules.},

  abstract  = {French history of literature is undoubtedly characterized by a tradition of social criticism portraying the working class' misery that can be traced back at least to the 19th century. Among these depictions, Zola's novels have a prominent position. This is, among other aspects, due to their pretended scientific foundation and their pretentious claims to be scientific studies. The contemporary author {\´E}douard Louis situates himself in this tradition of Zola's naturalism. This invites us to examine the interrelation between Zola and Louis more closely. Based on the common ground of scientific foundation, scientific ambition and social commitment pursued in their novels, it will be demonstrated that Louis is a late-modern Zola whose milieu and character descriptions follow in detail Zola's constructions.},

  abstract  = {In this contribution, chants of the followers of the Argentine football team Boca Juniors are analyzed with regard to possible identity constructions and othering. The results of the corpus-driven discourse-linguistic analysis demonstrate in particular metaphors and topoi that can be highlighted as a constitutive part of the discursive construction of a Boca Juniors supporters' identity and the otherings of River Plate hinchas. Through the use of certain metaphors and determined lexical fields that clearly call for acts of violence, a masculine ethos is discursively constructed among Bocas own followers, which goes far beyond comparable insulting and cheering chants of comparable European football teams.},

The scope of the present paper is to analyse, on the one hand, how this novel deconstructs hegemonial concepts of masculinity but, on the other hand, is in itself also a parody of the latter.},

This paper focuses on Spanish-Zapotec translations produced by Christian missionaries during the colonial period. In this context, it aims to investigate the expression of the concept of soul in their catechisms and confesionarios by analyzing chronologically how different authors apply the Spanish synonyms alma and {\´a}nima. On the one hand, we can observe some similar tendencies in central Mexican documents for the early colonial period so that we can assume that the corpus was influenced by Nahuatl translations. On the other hand, there is an independent development in Spanish-Zapotec translations not only regarding the target text but also the source text.},

  abstract  = {According to the Senegalesian scholar Felwine Sarr who conceives an African utopia in his programmatic essay Afrotopia (2016), this Afrotopos has already germinated in contemporary African literature. However, it still needs to be enquired to what extent the narrated topos of the street in Sarr's own anthology 105 Rue Carnot (2011) has already realized the Afrotopos. In order to respond to this question, we would like to mobilise Michel Foucault's concept of heterotopia, which elaborates on the interactions between truth production/knowledge, power and space, and permits us to conceive of «les lieux utopiques» (Foucault 2005: 40) as actually locatable on the map and real other places outside of all places (cf. Foucault 1994: 755). Thus, in the street, a different relationship between global North and South is founded, which becomes legible as an African «utopie localis{\´e}e» (Foucault 2005: 41) that Sarr calls for in Afrotopia (2016).},
