Flandziu
Flandziu is a literary magazine published since 2004. The name is taken from an early theater sketch by Wolfgang Koeppen .
The magazine is called Semi-Annual Gazette for Modern Literature and is published in conjunction with the International Wolfgang Koeppen Society. The name 'Flandziu' goes back to the dramatis persona of the same name from an expressionist drama fragment by the young Wolfgang Koeppen. The magazine is committed to the work of Wolfgang Koeppens . For Flandziu, the principle from his Büchner Prize speech from 1962 applies that literature must stand up for the interests of people and for freedom of thought and human existence, thus not being of service to anyone who has power. Flandziu does not restrict himself thematically to German modern literature, but focuses on wide and diverse cultural areas, such as philosophy and art in different cultures as well as related social issues. At the same time, Flandziu is about looking at the diversity of literature in general. Each issue of Flandziu has a main topic: 2009, Issue 1: Alexandria and Modern Literature ; 2009, Issue 2: Metropolises and Modern Literature I - Berlin, Moscow, Paris ; 2010, Volume 1: Metropolises and Modern Literature II - London, New York, Buenos Aires ; 2011, issue 1 + 2: Young German writers read Wolfgang Koeppen ; 2012, Issue 1: German Literature 1945 - 1960, I: 1945 - 1952 ; 2012, Issue 2: German Literature 1945 - 1960, II: 1953 - 1960 ; 2013, Issue 1 + 2: Book Burning ; 2014, Issue 1: Women against War , 2014, Issue 2: Hamburg in the 20th Century: Art - Literature - Culture; 2015: Issues 1 and 2: Travel and Literature , 2016/1: Black literature in the 20th and 21st centuries .
