Scholars of German literature and of translation present essays in those fields in honor of their colleague Whitinger. Their topics include reconceptualizing world literature: a bilingual Platonic dialogue between literary and translation studies, translating a life in exile: reflections on Johanna Kinkel, Before Sunrise: a transmedial cultural translation of Vienna, cultural mediation in the global age: integrating translations into literary scholarship, and kissing the frog: reframing translation in the language classroom.
