Lebensstufen

Stages of life can be climbed, life paths can be taken, life beginnings and evenings can be experienced - the anthology Lebensstufen (Life Stages) thematically addresses these traditional ciphers of Western cultural history and the history of ideas in order to trace the staging of life stages in the field of tension between tradition and innovation. Studies in language, literature and cultural studies open up a differentiated understanding of childhood, youth, middle years, and old age from an interdisciplinary perspective. Special attention is paid to designs that take into account the contingent realities of life. The course of that phenomenon which concerns us all - the course of human life - is examined.
