For several decades now, Krasznahorkai’s life’s work has been the subject of a lively and multifaceted scholarly discourse, not only within literary studies in the narrow sense but also in related academic fields. While, for example, scholarly interest in the author’s work is clearly evident from the perspectives of philosophy or theology, the interpretive possibilities offered by the interdisciplinary field of “law and literature” have received relatively little attention to date.

For the volume of studies announced in the attached Call for Papers, the editors are seeking contributions that approach Krasznahorkai’s works from a “law and literature” perspective. The aim of the volume is to contribute to the growing international scholarly discourse surrounding his oeuvre, bringing to the fore the legal and normative dimensions of his works—dimensions that are often overshadowed by literary and aesthetic approaches.
