Emine Sevgi Özdamar: Ein von Schatten begrenzter Raum. Emine Sevgi Özdamar und die Erweiterung belichteter Räume
2022
Emine Sevgi Özdamar's new novel is a polyphonic hymn to a post-war Europe in which, for a short time, it seemed possible to break down borders using poetry alone. The novel is a long list of memories of friends, artists and acquaintances who accompanied Emine Sevgi Özdamar on her way. Above all it is the eloquent opening of a space between threat and security, a space delimited by shadows.

Die vielgestaltige Wassermetaphorik bei Yoko Tawada
2018
The famous German-Japanese author Yoko Tawada lives since 1982 in Germany, where she writes in Japanese and German. This essay examines the multiform metaphor of water in the works of the writer. Furthermore, the study explores the apparently close relations between water, with its continuous changes, and the existence of a fixed identity. This paper also questions how water (a metaphor for identity) in many passages of the selected texts, is sought and rejected but also feared, desired and modified by the protagonists.
