Since the fall of the Berlin Wall (1989) and the end of the European
blocs and the Cold War, German-language literature has taken on a special role in welcoming and
promoting writers whose origins, writing styles, language and imagery
span multiple languages and worlds. It is about migration, but not only. It is a particular
opening up of linguistic and cultural horizons that are increasingly important for the acquisition of a
critical awareness of the role of linguistic and intercultural mediation.
After a theoretical examination of the categories of migration, flight, exile, “refuge” and “Heimat”, we will consider
works by German-language authors who engage in intense hybridisation and dialogue with other
languages and cultures: Marica Bodrozic, Ann Cotten, Sudabeh Mohafez, Katja Petrowskaja, Yoko Tawada,
Feridun Zaimoglu, Peter Waterhouse, and Natascha Wodin.
