The subject of empathy is now receiving more attention than ever before. There are currently calls in many areas of society to make empathy a fundamental element of all political and interpersonal actions. Social scientists consider empathy to be an important social resource in a world characterized by the challenges of globalization, increasing individualization and an endangered ecosystem. Economists such as Jeremy Rifkin (2009) have suggested replacing the US myth of the ‘American Dream’ with the new self-image of an ‘empathetic civilization’.

Literatur als Schule der Empathie – Shakespeares Othello
Die Voraussetzung von Empathie ist in der angeborenen menschlichen Fähigkeit verankert, dass wir sowohl wir selbst als auch ein Anderer sein können. Im Laboratorium der Literatur öffnen sich der Imagination Denk-, Erfahrungs- und Verwandlungsräume, in denen wir die Grenzen unserer Identität überschreiten und in Frage stellen können. Wie emotionale Identifikationen auf Fremdheitserfahrungen hin überschritten werden können, Empathie aber auch einen manipulativen Zugriff auf den Anderen ermöglicht, soll an Beispielen aus Shakespeares Othello genauer untersucht werden. | Aleida Assmann ist Professorin em. für englische Literatur und Allgemeine Literaturwissenschaft an der Universität Konstanz.
