This volume examines the cultural manifestations and historical development of figures of reversal, as well as in their poetological configurations. From the turn as an epistemic figure to modellings of religious conversion and literary models of reversal, their reception history encompasses a range of very different fields. The reversal ultimately proves to be an elementary form of orientation.
