Verflossene Flüsse. Historische und literarische Blicke auf Mitteleuropa – vom Rhein bis zum Dnipro 

Editors: Péter Techet & Rebecca Thorne 

Issue: 4/2025 

From international river policy to (post)colonialism and geopoetics, this issue of Der Donauraum questions our understanding of borders – both thematically and geopolitically. Hiram Kümper compares thepolicies that govern the Rhine and the Danube, tracing the historical development of the latter’s international cooperation. Johannes Reutzel analyses the work of the German political economist Friedrich List to establish how he contributed to the construction of a colonial space in Hungary and the countries of the lower Danube. Finally, Galyna Spodarets investigates how a poetic approach to geography can remap our understanding of Central Europe, as exemplified in the essays of the Ukrainian poet Yurii Andrukhovych. 

With contributions by Hiram Kümper, Johannes Reutzel, Galyna Spodarets and an introduction by the editors Péter Techet and Rebecca Thorne.
