Tobias Döring This book helps readers to find their way into the wide field of postcolonial writing and through the critical debates that frame it. The first part defines key terms, explains cultural strategies and introduces theoretical as well as literary explorations. The second part exemplifies its global spectrum and focusses on issues of gender and performance.

“History isn’t what happened. History is just what historians tell us … One good story leads to another. First it was kings and archbishops with some offstage divine tinkering, then it was the march of ideas and the movements of masses, then little local events which means something bigger, but all the time it’s connections, progress, meaning, this led to this, this happened because of this … The history of the world? Just voices echoing in the dark; images that burn for a few centuries and then fade; stories, old stories that sometimes seem to overlap; strange links, impertinent connections.” (Julian Barnes) Postcolonial literature critiques the patterns and narrative conventions through which history is constructed. Many powerful postcolonial works explore counter-histories, offering alternative versions of familiar yet often oppressive foundational stories. This raises a critical issue: how can the history of postcolonial literature be documented without erasing these counter-narratives and undermining their significance? The twelve chapters delve into this challenge through thematic and theory-informed readings of key novels, including *Things Fall Apart*, *Nervous Conditions*, and *The English Patient*. These analyses reveal the choices involved in reading, writing, and revising history, as well as in designating cultural products as central.

Die Londoner U-Bahn ist schon immer mehr als ein Transportmittel gewesen: »Ob gefeiert oder verachtet, gefürchtet oder gepriesen, seit ihrer Planung in der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts steht die ›Tube‹ im Zentrum vieler Debatten um das Selbstverständnis einer Großstadtgesellschaft im Zeitalter ihrer technischen Transportierbarkeit« (T. Döring). Von den Erfahrungen ihrer Benutzer, von deren Ängsten und Hoffnungen, Phantasien und Visionen erzählt diese Anthologie, die – von den Anfängen bis heute – Gedichte, Stories und Essays prominenter Autorinnen und Autoren vereinigt. Texte in der Originalsprache, mit Übersetzungen schwieriger Wörter am Fuß jeder Seite, Nachwort und Literaturhinweisen. Sprachen: Deutsch, Englisch
