The argument is developed in five chapters. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to recent debates about whether and to what extent recognition can serve as a foundational normative concept in social theory and social analysis. Chapter 2 focuses on a reconsideration of the concept of identity, since recognition is inextricably linked with questions of identity formation in current debates. Chapter 3 moves on to the question of what explanatory value the concept of recognition can have for literary and cultural studies. The chapter wants to demonstrate that struggles for recognition are one of the dominant narrative patterns in Western culture and stand at the center of an amazingly wide range of fictional texts and cultural representations. Chapter 4 goes beyond the thematic level and a discussion of exemplary narrative patterns in order to provide an analysis of how recognition can be understood and described as an effect of the reading experience (and of aesthetic experience more generally). The purpose is to provide a better understanding of the special function and potential cultural representations can have in struggles for recognition. Finally, chapter 5 returns to the starting question of this project. It takes its point of departure from the puzzling disregard of the role of culture in discussions of recognition in social theory, and provides an outline of how a focus on cultural struggles for recognition can add an important dimension to theories of recognition.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<div class=\"[&amp;amp;&amp;gt;*]:bl-relative last:[&amp;amp;&amp;gt;*.bl-absolute]:bl-absolute\n\t\t\t[&amp;amp;&amp;gt;*]:bl-z-20 last:[&amp;amp;&amp;gt;*]:bl-z-10 bl-relative bl-overflow-x-clip\n\t\t\t[.wp-block-ufr-section_&amp;amp;]:bl-overflow-x-visible\n\t\t\tbl-bg-transparent bl-text-inherit dark:bl-bg-transparent dark:bl-text-inherit  alignfull wp-block-ufr-section has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-ufr-section-is-layout-constrained\">\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bl-absolute bl-inset-0 bl-w-full bl-h-full bl-pointer-events-none bl-mt-0\">\n\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\tclass=\"bl-absolute bl-origin-center\n\t\t\t\tbl-w-96\t\t\t\tbl-top-[50%] -bl-translate-y-[50%] bl-left-[50%] -bl-translate-x-[50%]\t\t\t\t\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg\n\twidth=\"100%\"\n\tviewBox=\"0 0 64.5 64.5\"\n\tfill=\"none\"\n\txmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"\n\taria-label=\"\"\n\tclass=\"bl-relative bl-block dark:bl-hidden bl-w-full\"\n\trole=\"img\">\n\t<title><\/title>\n<linearGradient\n\tid=\"twBRT7avJb\"\n\tx1=\"50%\" y1=\"100%\"\n\tx2=\"50%\" y2=\"0%\">\n\t<stop\n\t\toffset=\"0%\"\n\t\tstop-color=\"#f5c2ed\"\n\t\tstop-opacity=\"1\" \/>\n\t<stop\n\t\toffset=\"100%\"\n\t\tstop-color=\"#f5c2ed\"\n\t\tstop-opacity=\"0\" \/>\n<\/linearGradient>\n\t<path\n\t\td=\"m32.25,64c17.53,0,31.75-14.21,31.75-31.75S49.78.5,32.25.5.5,14.71.5,32.25s14.21,31.75,31.75,31.75\"\n\t\tstroke-width=\"2px\"\n\t\tvector-effect=\"non-scaling-stroke\"\n\t\tfill=\"url(#twBRT7avJb)\" \/>\n<\/svg>\n<svg\n\twidth=\"100%\"\n\tviewBox=\"0 0 64.5 64.5\"\n\tfill=\"none\"\n\txmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"\n\taria-label=\"\"\n\tclass=\"bl-relative bl-hidden dark:bl-block bl-w-full\"\n\trole=\"img\">\n\t<title><\/title>\n<linearGradient\n\tid=\"uFCWlNRJYA\"\n\tx1=\"50%\" y1=\"100%\"\n\tx2=\"50%\" y2=\"0%\">\n\t<stop\n\t\toffset=\"0%\"\n\t\tstop-color=\"#000149\"\n\t\tstop-opacity=\"1\" \/>\n\t<stop\n\t\toffset=\"100%\"\n\t\tstop-color=\"#000149\"\n\t\tstop-opacity=\"0\" \/>\n<\/linearGradient>\n\t<path\n\t\td=\"m32.25,64c17.53,0,31.75-14.21,31.75-31.75S49.78.5,32.25.5.5,14.71.5,32.25s14.21,31.75,31.75,31.75\"\n\t\tstroke-width=\"2px\"\n\t\tvector-effect=\"non-scaling-stroke\"\n\t\tfill=\"url(#uFCWlNRJYA)\" \/>\n<\/svg>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:128px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Free University of Berlin, John F.
