Zum 50. Heft
(2021)
Der 17. Jahrgang dieser Zeitschrift markiert auf den ersten Blick keinerlei Jubiläum. Trotzdem ist die vorliegende Ausgabe für Herausgeber und Redaktion eine besondere: Es handelt sich um das 50. Heft insgesamt. (2007 gab es ein Doppelheft, sonst immer drei Hefte pro Jahrgang.) Dies ist der Anlass für einen knappen Rückblick auf die anfänglichen Ziele und die bisherigen Entwicklungen, aber auch für einen (selbst-)kritischen Ausblick. Mit Recht hat die erst in den Anfängen befindliche kulturwissenschaftliche Zeitschriftenforschung festgestellt: »Nicht selten geht das Zeitschriftenmachen mit Reflexionen über den Wert, die Bedingungen oder die Versprechen des Zeitschriftenmachens einher.«
The fiftieth issue
(2021)
At first glance, the seventeenth year of this journal’s publication would not appear to mark any particular anniversary. And yet the present edition is quite special for the editors and the editorial team: it is the 50th issue overall. (There was a double issue in 2007, otherwise there have always been three issues each year.) This milestone is the occasion for a brief review of the original objectives and of developments thus far, as well as a (self-)critical look at what the future may bring. Scholars in the nascent field of the cultural study of periodicals have rightly observed: ›The production of periodicals is often accompanied by reflections on the value, conditions, and promise of producing periodicals.‹

The Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, now in its second year, has many historical connections and implications – including some which may not immediately spring to mind. The German War Graves Commission estimates that the human remains of more than 800 Wehrmacht soldiers have been uncovered so far over the course of this war, some of them surfacing as new trenches were being dug. Helmets and boots have also been found. Historian Reinhart Koselleck’s (1923–2006) metaphor of Zeitschichten, or temporal layers, acquires here a different meaning and a very concrete materiality. (Koselleck had himself served as a soldier in Ukraine.) In her acceptance speech for the Leipzig Book Award for European Understanding in April 2023, the Russian author Maria Stepanova, who currently lives in Berlin, said: ›Are we condemned to keep reliving the twentieth century with its prisons, concentration camps and propaganda machines, its trench warfare and area bombardments? What can we do when the fabric of language, its texture, suddenly becomes transparent, revealing all the hidden layers of latent and overt violence percolating to the surface?‹
