    The introduction informs about Black literary imaginations of Europe that reverse or complicate the (neo-)colonialist European gaze at the "African Other". It reviews the state of research and provides an overview of the aims and sources of the special issue, whose individual contributions take into account both national specificities and transnational contexts. Sandra Folie and Gianna Zocco emphasise the important role of comparative literature for the field of African European studies (and vice-versa). L'introduction porte sur des imaginations littéraires noires de l'Europe qui inversent ou compliquent le regard européen (néo )colonialiste sur "l'Autre africain". Elle examine l'état de la recherche et donne un aperçu des objectifs et des sources de ce numéro spécial, dont les contributions tiennent compte des spécificités nationales et des contextes transnationaux. Sandra Folie et Gianna Zocco soulignent le rôle important de la littérature comparée pour les études afro-européennes (et vice-versa).

    With this volume, the editors Katharina Edtstadler, Sandra Folie, and Gianna Zocco propose an extension of the traditional conception of imagology as a theory and method for studying the cultural construction and literary representation of national, usually European characters. Consisting of an instructive introduction and 21 articles, the book relates this sub-field of comparative literature to contemporary political developments and enriches it with new interdisciplinary, transnational, intersectional, and intermedial perspectives. The contributions offer [1] a reconsideration and update of the field's methods, genres, and theoretical frames; [2] trans-/post-national, migratory, and marginalized perspectives beyond the European nation-state; [3] insights into geopolitical dichotomies such as Orient/Occident; [4] intersectional approaches considering the entanglements of national images with notions of age, class, gender, sexuality, and ethnicity/race; [5] investigations of the role of national images in visual narratives and music.

    This article compares Chika Unigwe's novel "On Black Sisters' Street" and Sudabeh Mortezai's film "Joy", both about Nigerian women trafficked for sex work to Belgium and Austria respectively. They share a genre genealogy with slave narratives but are primarily concerned with European (neo-)colonialism. Drawing on postcolonial and intersectional theory as well as imagology, this article analyses the Black female re-imagination and strategic exoticisation of Europe in the two narratives. L'article compare le roman "On Black Sisters' Street" de Chika Unigwe et le film "Joy" de Sudabeh Mortezai, qui traitent du trafic sexuel des femmes nigérianes vers la Belgique et l'Autriche. Ils partagent une généalogie de genre avec le récit d'esclavage, mais se focalisent sur le (néo-)colonialisme européen. S'appuyant sur la théorie postcoloniale et intersectionnelle ainsi que sur l'imagologie, l'article analyse la ré-imagination féminine noire et l'exotisation stratégique de l'Europe dans les deux oeuvres.
