Cultural texts born out of migration frequently defy easy
categorization as they cross borders, languages, histories, and
media in unpredictable ways. Instead of corralling them into
identity categories, whether German or otherwise, the essays in
this volume, building on the influential work of Leslie A. Adelson,
interrogate how to respond to their methodological challenge in
innovative ways. Investigating a wide variety of twentieth- and
twenty-first-century texts that touch upon "things German" in the
broadest sense-from print and born-digital literature to essay
film, nature drawings, and memorial sites-the contributions employ
transnational and multilingual lenses to show how these works
reframe migration and temporality, bringing into view antifascist
aesthetics, refugee time, postmigrant Heimat, translational
poetics, and post-Holocaust affects. With new literary texts by
Yoko Tawada and Zafer Senocak and essays by Gizem Arslan, Brett de
Bary, Bettina Brandt, Claudia Breger, Deniz Goekturk, John Namjun
Kim, Yuliya Komska, Paul Michael Lutzeler, B. Venkat Mani, Barbara
Mennel, Katrina L. Nousek, Anna Parkinson, Damani J. Partridge,
Erik Porath, Jamie Trnka, Ulrike Vedder, and Yasemin Yildiz.
