German Abstract: Im Wintersemester 2018\/19 lud die Neuphilologische Fakult\u00e4t der Universit\u00e4t Heidelberg in der Vortragsreihe \u201eModerneKrisenLiteratur\u201c dazu ein, im Dialog zwischen jeweils einem Literaturwissenschaftler und einem Vertreter einer anderen kultur-, sozial- oder geschichtswissenschaftlichen Disziplin dar\u00fcber nachzudenken, wie sich die Umbr\u00fcche und Ersch\u00fctterungen der \u00f6konomischen, politischen und kulturellen Moderne in literarischen Werken des 20. Jahrhunderts niedergeschlagen haben. Am 15. Januar 2019 sprachen in der Neuen Universit\u00e4t Heidelberg die Rechtswissenschaftlerin Alexandra Kemmerer (Max-Planck-Institut f\u00fcr ausl\u00e4ndisches \u00f6ffentliches Recht und V\u00f6lkerrecht) und die Literaturwissenschaftlerin Doren Wohlleben (Universit\u00e4t Marburg) \u00fcber Christa Wolfs Kassandra-Projekt \u2013 ein in vier Vorlesungen und eine Erz\u00e4hlung gegliedertes Werk, das als mediales Gro\u00dfereignis bereits beim ersten \u00f6ffentlichen Vortrag im Rahmen der Frankfurter Poetik-Vorlesungen im Mai 1982 gro\u00dfe internationale Beachtung fand und inzwischen, \u00fcbersetzt in dutzende Sprachen, zur Weltliteratur des 20. Jahrhunderts zu z\u00e4hlen ist. In der Begegnung von Rechts- und Literaturwissenschaft, von \u201eLaw &amp; Literature\u201c, erweist sich Christa Wolfs Kassandra-Projekt als Schl\u00fcssel zu einem differenzierten Verst\u00e4ndnis des geteilten Deutschland in der Endphase des Kalten Krieges, des Wendejahres 1989 und der nachfolgenden politischen, sozialen, rechtlichen und kulturellen Transformationen. Herausgefordert und sensibilisiert von der je anderen Disziplin, gewinnen im Blick auf Mythos und Recht, Poetik und Politik Krisenmomente Kontur, deren Br\u00fcche und Verwerfungen noch unsere Gegenwart pr\u00e4gen. English Abstract: In the winter semester of 2018\/19, the Neuphilologische Fakult\u00e4t (Faculty of Modern Languages) at the University of Heidelberg hosted a lecture series inviting reflections on ruptures and upheavals in economic, political and cultural modernity, and their repercussions on 20th-century literature. Organised as dialogue between a literary scholar and a scholar of another field of the humanities, social sciences or cultural studies, the series \u201eModerneKrisenLiteratur\u201c invited in each of its weekly sessions contextual and reflexive explorations of literary works. On January 15, 2019, at Neue Universit\u00e4t Heidelberg, legal scholar Alexandra Kemmerer (Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law) and literary scholar Doren Wohlleben (University of Marburg), discussed Christa Wolf’s Kassandra Project – a complex and highly original literary work which attracted great international attention already at its first public presentation in May 1982, in the Frankfurt Lectures on Poetics series, and has since become part of 20th century world literature. In Kemmerer\u2019s and Wohlleben\u2019s Heidelberg encounter, from a Law&amp; Literature perspective, Christa Wolf’s Kassandra Project is explored as key to a differentiated understanding of Divided Germany in the final phase of the Cold War, of the Fall of the Berlin Wall, the \u201cWende\u201c, of 1989, and of subsequent political, social, legal and cultural transformations. Based on close readings of Wolf\u2019s literary work, their transdisciplinary reflections on myth and law, poetics and politics highlight moments of crisis, ruptures and upheavals that are still shaping our present.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
