his book has its origins in 2015, when the three of us and our colleague Frank Us-beck, having just finished a project on the poetics and politics of narrative, becameincreasingly interested in thinking and theorizing beyond this seemingly ubiqui-tous form. Having focused so much on the well-established category of narrative,we now wanted to divert our attention to artifacts and formations that reachedbeyond, challenged, or ‘hybridized’ narrativity. Eventually, these efforts resulted inan academic network on “Narrative Liminality and/in the Formation of AmericanModernities” (www.narrative-liminality.de), which ran from 2017 to 2021 and wasfunded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).During these years, the members of the network met in four different work-shops, collaborated on an online platform, and engaged with other scholars in aninternational conference at Leipzig University, Germany, in October 2019. Shortlythereafter,the Corona pandemic precluded further in-person meetings,but the re-sults of the discussions and collaborations among participants in the network arenow collected in the present volume. All ten members have contributed articles tothis book, along with a number of other scholars who interacted with the “Narra-tive Liminality” network as speakers in workshops or presenters during the 2019conference. We want to thank all of them for the immense energy and enthusiasmthey brought to the network, the insightful theoretical and conceptual discussions,and the productive spirit of collaboration that was with us during these years. To-gether, we pushed for new ways of conceptualizing what is beyond narrative andhow one can study it. We also want to thank those colleagues who shared theirexpertise and insights with us along the way but who could not contribute to thisbook,amongthemJeremyDouglassandJaredGardner.Whileconsiderableworkofemploying and refining our concept of narrative liminality remains to be done, thenetwork’s collective effort laid important groundwork for thinking about narrativeand other symbolic forms without reifying the boundaries between these forms.We are particularly happy that the results of these years of thinking about theborderlands of narrativity can be presented in open-access form, and we want tothank the DFG as well as Leipzig University’s Open Access Publication Fund for making this possible. Finally, we want to thank Solveig Kloss and Peter Hintz fortheir editorial assistance in preparing this book for publication.
