TRANSNATIONALISM AND GERMAN-LANGUAGE LITERATURE...

This book examines how German-language authors have intervened in contemporary debates on the
obligation to extend hospitality to asylum seekers  refugees  and migrants  the terrorist
threat post-9 11  globalisation and neo-liberalism  the opportunities and anxieties of
intensified mobility across borders  and whether transnationalism necessarily implies the end
of the nation state and the dawn of a new cosmopolitanism. The book proceeds through a series
of close readings of key texts of the last twenty years  with an emphasis on the most recent
works. Authors include Terézia Mora  Richard Wagner  Olga Grjasnowa  Marlene Streeruwitz 
Vladimir Vertlib  Navid Kermani  Felicitas Hoppe  Daniel Kehlmann  Ilija Trojanow  Christian
Kracht  and Christa Wolf  representing the diversity of contemporary German-language writing.
Through a careful process of juxtaposition and differentiation  the individual chapters
demonstrate that writers of both minority and nonminority backgrounds address transnationalism
in ways that certainly vary but which also often overlap in surprising ways.
