Book series and journals

In 2024, Eva Geulen, director of the ZfL, joined the editorial board of the Zeitschrift für Ideengeschichte (Journal for the History of Ideas).

The journal offers a forum for research and reflection and promotes interdisciplinary exchange in the historically oriented humanities. It was founded in 2006 by Ulrich Raulff, director of the DLA – German Literature Archive in Marbach, Hellmut Seemann, president of the Klassik Stiftung Weimar, and Helwig Schmidt-Glintzer, director of the Herzog August Bibliothek Wolfenbüttel, and is published quarterly by C.H.Beck.

The current members of the editorial board are: Peter Burschel (Herzog August Bibliothek Wolfenbüttel), Eva Geulen (ZfL), Ulrike Lorenz (Klassik Stiftung Weimar), Hermann Parzinger (Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation), Sandra Richter (DLA – German Literature Archive in Marbach), Barbara Stollberg-Rilinger (Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin), Gerhard Wolf (Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz – Max-Planck-Institut). Stephan Schlak is the managing editor.

In 2024, the ZfL joined the editorial board of the series “Historische Geisteswissenschaften” (Historical Humanities).

The series, published by Wallstein, addresses questions that are important for the self-conception of the humanities.

It is published by the ZfL together with the Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities Essen (KWI) and the Frankfurt Humanities Research Centre.

Since 2022, the ZfL issues the open access book series “Literatur- und Kulturforschung. Schriftenreihe des ZfL” [Literary and Cultural Studies. ZfL publication series] with Wallstein.

It is closely linked to the research profile of the ZfL and is intended to address current research issues affecting the humanities as a whole and to reflect a subject according to the current state of research in various disciplines.

The series has an Academic Advisory Board (consisting of the members of the Academic Advisory Board of the ZfL).

Since 2006, the book series “LiteraturForschung” [Literary Research] has been published with the Kulturverlag Kadmos (before that with Akademie Verlag).

Upon agreement with the publisher, articles from conference proceedings and edited volumes published there are made available two years after their primary publication in the specialized repository CompaRe on the publications server of the University Library Frankfurt a.M.

From 2003 until 2017, the ZfL published the book series “Trajekte” [Trajectories] with Wilhelm Fink.

Upon agreement with the publisher, articles from conference proceedings and edited volumes published there are made available two years after their primary publication in the specialized repository CompaRe on the publications server of the University Library Frankfurt a.M.
