In 19th and 20th century Prague, German-speaking and Czech-speaking cultures engaged in both exchange and differentiation. This volume examines the feuilleton as a site of these processes: the feuilletonistic writing, characterized by self-reflexivity and playful forms, seeks to extract a hallmark of the time from detailed observations. When the experiences of modernity are particularly condensed in feuilletons, allowing for a cultural poetics of modernity to be discerned from these small texts, this is even more true for the specific situation in Prague and the various positions encountered there. The coexistence, interaction, and opposition of Germans and Czechs in the city of Prague during this period is especially evident in the feuilleton.
