Brüchige Texte, brüchige Identitäten. Avantgardistisches und exophones Schreiben von der klassischen Moderne bis zur Gegenwart

Historical and cultural caesurae have shaped the 20th and 21st centuries, whereas the conventional narrative is faltering. The works collected in this anthology explore literary texts by avant-garde authors and female writers with a migrant background which not only represent these interruptions in continuity but also cause caesurae themselves. The avant-garde stylistically breaks with conventional narrative forms and expressions. The change from printed paper to screens and digital programming changes the way language is written and read. Migrant exophone authors write differently to female authors who operate in their home culture and use their first language, thereby defying clear-cut cultural attributions.
