We are humbled by this fact and we are very proud to keep the tradition alive. focus on German Studies is one of three graduate student journals dedicated to German Studies in the United States. In addition to Literature, our journal publishes on a wide range of interdisciplinary topics tangential to German Studies, including Film and Media Studies, Women and Gender Studies, History, Sociology, Music, and Performance Studies. Our authors submit to us from around the world and we have the privilege to meet fellow scholars and future colleagues through our journal. Each Graduate Student involved in the editing process dedicates an extraordinary amount of time outside of their personal responsibilities at the university (teaching, classwork, and their own research) to make the focus on German Studies journal a reality. focus on German Studies is a multi-year commitment typically taken on by PhD students, beginning with the organization of the focus on German Studies graduate student conference, then assuming the role of Book Review Editor, and finally taking on the role of Editor-in-Chief. This year we are pleased to present Volume 27 (2020), a special issue with a focus on Spielformen des Authentischen. The past years have shown a vast variety of artistic practices in which the pre-/re-/establishment of factual events and social realities have once again re-claimed a major significance. Traceable throughout various ‘Spielarten’, the authentic/realistic/factual has found its way back into artistic practice and academic discussion, to which we hope to make a small contribution with this issue. I would like to especially thank my co-Editor, Mareike Lange, for approaching each step in the editorial process concerning our book review section with a smile and generous spirit. We also owe special thanks to our fellow graduate students who served as copy-editors for our Book Reviews and to the many professors who donated their time to peer-review our articles. Furthermore, I want to express my gratitude to Mark Konecny in the Langsam Library at the University of Cincinnati, who supported us through every step of the editing and publishing process with a positive attitude and who was always available for a meeting. Lastly, as editors and graduate students, we wish to thank our Department Head, Todd Herzog, and our Graduate Director, Tanja Nusser, for giving us the opportunity to publish in our graduate careers and for your constant support.
