Klasse (bl.a. klassetilhørighet og klassereise) har gjennom tidene blitt tematisert på mange måter i litteraturen. Samtidig ser vi ulike utviklingslinjer i de forskjellige land, preget av de sosiale og politiske diskusjonene og brytningene landene har vært gjennom (for eksempel utviklingen av arbeiderbevegelsen eller omfanget av arbeidsinnvandring).
I det nye prosjektet forstås «krise» som et konsept som kan koples til ulike tyngdepunkt, f.eks. litteratur og sykdom, litteratur, traumer og terapi, litteraturens muligheter til å adressere kriser/sette ord på kriser, skjønnlitteraturens potensiale (affordance), litteratur som problemløsningsdiskurs, litterære utopier/dystopier som svar på ulike kriser (også globale kriser), litteratur som motstand hhv. motstemme og litteratur i den digitale tidsalder (er litteraturen selv i krise?).

States of Decadence is a two volume anthology that focuses on the literary and cultural phenomenon of decadence. Particular attention is given to literature from the end of the 1800s, the fin de siècle: however, the essays presented here are not restricted to this historical period, but draw lines both back in time and forward to our day to illuminate the contradictory multiplicity inherent in decadence.
