Muslim Traditionally, a term used to describe individuals who consider themselves adherents of any branch of Islam. Especially since the turn of the twenty-first century, this term now often signifies a social category that connects ideology, class status, and phenotype. Islam ―Islam‖ refers to religious traditions based on the Prophet Mohammed, including the most prominent branches, Sunni and Shiite. In some Western media, Islam has also come to stand for a set of rules governing a cohesive, transnational community of Muslims dedicated to the destruction of the West. Author-narrator I use this term to foreground the importance of the embodied narrator as public figure, as well as the fact that many of the women filling this role did not do the writing themselves. Parallelwelt Parallel world; communities in Europe that are independent from and inaccessible to non- Muslims, where Western laws, social and cultural norms, and ideals of individual freedoms do not apply (or are actively opposed). Social media Refers here to the vast array of applications that enable the creation and exchange of user-generated content, including but not limited to Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Wikipedia, as well as forums and comment fields on blogs, online news articles, and online retail sites. 2 Introduction As he hiked through the dense underbrush of the German forest, the man heard the sound of a woman‘s tender voice penetrating the silence. He stopped. She sang, in broken German, about her heartbreak and worry, her homesickness for a faraway land and about the terrible violence that tore her from it after killing her father and brothers and destroying their castle, all because of their religious beliefs. She sang her tragic song to the accompaniment of a beautiful lute and the sobbing of a child. As the lovely music ended, the hiker scrambled over mossy rocks and deeper into the brush toward the voice. In a small valley, he found a pale, drawn girl sitting under an old oak tree, her own tears falling as she tried to comfort the crying child in her lap. The singer jumped a little with surprise when she saw him, but she was friendly, and the child observed him with curiosity even as

    -Avrupa Birliği ülkelerine göçün 50. yılında...- Çağdaş Edebiyatımız Almancada -I PROF. DR. NEVZAT GÖZAYDIN nsanlığın bir türlü önüne geçemediği büyük savaşlar ülkelerin İ çok önemli ölçülerde zarara uğramalarına, bunun yanında mil- yonlarca eğitilmiş ve yetişkin insanın ölümüne yol açmıştır. Geçen yüzyılda yaşanan her iki dünya savaşının acı sonuçları bu gerçeği bir kez daha savaştan kurtulanlara göstermiştir. Özellikle Avrupa topraklarında altı yıl süren (1939-1945) İkinci Dünya Savaşı sonrasında oluşan iki bloklu ülke- ler arasındaki soğuk savaştan bütün Avrupa ülkeleri zarar görmüştür. Savaş sonrasında hem maddi hem manevi bir çöküşü bütün toplumca yaşayan Batı Avrupa ülkelerinin, en başta Batı Almanya olmak üzere yardımına koşan 387 ABD yönetimleri, Doğu Blok’ta yer alan ülkelere karşı çeşitli yardımlarla Batı Avrupa ülkelerini yeniden ayağa kaldırmayı ilke olarak benimsemişlerdir. Bu politikanın doğal sonucu olarak öncelik sanayi yatırımlarına verilmiş; inşaat, maden, otomotiv, enerji vb. yatırım alanları çekici duruma getirilmek istenmiştir. Makineleşmenin, otomasyonun yanı başında da özellikle bedene dayalı iş gücüne büyük ihtiyaç duyulmuştur. İkinci Dünya Savaşı sırasındaki iş gücünü oluşturan erkek nüfusun büyük ölçüde yok olması veya yüz binlercesinin sakat kalması yüzünden, ihtiyaç duyulan iş gücü açığının Akdeniz ülkelerinden sağlanması gündeme gelmiştir. Amerikalı ve Alman yöneticiler kurulan firmalarda 1950’li yıllardan itibaren İtalya, İspanya ve Yunanistan’dan işçi getirtmişlerdir. Ancak istenilen kısa vadede hızlı bir

Meral Asa angestrebter akademischer Grad Doktorin der Philosophie (Dr. phil) Wien, 2009 Studienkennzahl: A 092 386 Dissertationsgebiet: Turkologie Betreuer: Univ. Prof. Dr. Markus Köhbach ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Fazıl Hüsnü Da ğlarca ist der Lyriker der Türkei mit dem umfangreichsten Oeuvre. Sein letztes Buch kam im Jahr 2008 heraus, dasselbe Jahr, in dem er 94-jährig verstarb. Seine Veröffentlichungen erstrecken sich über einen Zeitraum von 75 Jahren, er ist Autor von mehr als 140 Büchern und nahezu 20.000 Gedichten. Sämtliche Literaturkritiker erkennen die Besonderheit seiner Dichtung an und sind sich über seine "Größe" einig. Trotzdem ist bis heute noch keine Einordnung der Dichtung Da ğlarcas gelungen. Unterschiedliche Anschauungen, wie sie seit 70 Jahren in Zeitungs- und Zeitschriftenartikeln geäußert werden, wurden keiner kritischen Prüfung unterzogen. Die Überzeugung, dass Da ğlarca keine Vorbilder gehabt und auch selbst keine Nachfolger beeinflusst habe, ist in der türkischen Literaturkritik fest verankert, und so wurden spezifische Eigenheiten der Dichtung Da ğlarcas übersehen. Während Da ğlarcas Poesie einerseits herabgewürdigt wurde, indem man sie als "seriell, repetitiv" bezeichnete, wurde er andererseits als Atatürk-Dichter, Staatsdichter oder Eposdichter herausgestellt oder auch unter dem Eindruck seines Werks Çocuk ve Allah (Das Kind und Gott ), 1940, als mystischer Lyriker bezeichnet. Um Da ğlarcas Beziehungen zur Tradition und zu Modernisierungsprozessen darstellen zu können, darf man seine Dichtung nicht nach der der äußeren Form beurteilen, sondern muss sie gemäß ihrer Inhalte und Bilder interpretieren.

    „Strange Worlds‟ in German migration literature, and intercultural learning in the context of German Studies in South Africa. PETRA LANGA Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (German) in the School of Language, Literature and Linguistics, Faculty of Humanities, Development and Social Sciences, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg. Supervisor: Dr R Fourie German, School of Language, Literature and Linguistics. Pietermaritzburg, 10. März 2009 1 DECLARATION I, the undersigned Petra Langa, hereby declare that the work contained in this thesis is a product of my own work and has not previously in its entirety, nor in part, been submitted to any university for a degree. ………………………………………………………………… Petra Langa 2 ABSTRACT This study examines the relationships between intercultural theory, German Studies (in South Africa) and post-war migration literature written in Germany. Migration literature as intercultural literature, and German Studies adopting an intercultural philosophy are thus associated by an intercultural aspect that also links both to a global network of intercultural relations. The study places emphasis on relationships rather than areas of research. This means that areas of research are looked at in terms of how they relate to other areas of research and other contexts. The underlying idea is that intercultural understanding can be taught at an academic level as an avenue towards building intercultural competence. At the same time, theories of an intercultural understanding should be informed by experiences that helped build intercultural competence. Intercultural understanding is based on the idea that assumptions of binary opposition are replaced by the notion that strange worlds can merge and form new ones, eventually replacing the old ones.

  • Artikel Michel Houellebecqs Roman Soumission
    Artikel Michel Houellebecqs Roman Soumission: (K)eine Legitimierung der Literaturwissenschaft Nicola Nier (Gießen) HeLix 11 (2018), S. 82-97. Abstract The present article examines Michel Houellebecq’s novel Soumission (Submission, 2015) with reference to the special role played by the study of literature in today’s society and the various tasks it needs to fulfill. The story reveals a crisis surrounding literary studies seen through the eyes of its protagonist François, himself a professor of literature at Paris III. The crisis becomes palpable through professors who are merely concerned with their own research projects while ignoring any political or social changes. With respect to the next presidential election in 2022, the academic elite is portrayed as idiosyncratic, isolated and indifferent. Thus Soumission can be regarded as an overall criticism of universities and a threatening future scenario of literary science. Nevertheless, beyond Houellebecq’s fictional world, the controversial response following the novel’s reception clearly demonstrates a need for this branch of science and may even be seen as an appeal for literary studies to become more involved in public discussion.

  • Queer Muslim Asylum Seekers in the Netherlands Sarah French Brennan
    Shifting Selves: Queer Muslim Asylum Seekers in the Netherlands Sarah French Brennan Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2020 ©2020 Sarah French Brennan All Rights Reserved Abstract Shifting Selves: Queer Muslim Asylum Seekers in the Netherlands Sarah French Brennan This dissertation explores the potential of the queer Muslim asylum seeker to confront the Dutch national imaginary. An archetype of homonationalism, the Netherlands faces rising tides of Islamophobia, waters which queer Muslims must learn to navigate. An asylum seeker’s success in the system depends on their “credibility”, hinging on the consistency of their self-representation which is constantly being reconstructed. These constant reconstructions, what Ewing (1990) refers to as “shifting selves”, are not conscious or noticed by the individual; yet, in the context of asylum claim-making, reconstitutions of the self may rise to the surface, asylum seekers then engaging in conscious strategizing. I analyze these contexts ethnographically through informal interviews and participant observation, at the height of the so-called “Refugee Crisis” of the mid-2010s in Europe. I find that as the figure of the queer Muslim asylum seeker confronts the Dutch national imaginary, it both confirms it—representing national commitments to human rights, to tolerance, and to protection of sexual minorities—and challenges it—embodying impossible

This paper paradigmatically deals with the problem of understanding and explanation of established-outsider-figurations which have been mostly grasped in the dominant research, public understanding as well as political de- bates under the category ‘cultural differences.’ Further, I am going to evaluate the concept of an established-outsider figuration of Norbert Elias as much more adequate to understand group conflicts and their dynamics in time. In this paper, using the example of the “Sarrazin debate,” I would like to work out how the differences in power ratios could be perceived in an established- outsider-relationship as differences of human beings in terms of their quality as well as their values as groups and as individuals.
