Grenz-Übergänge: Zur ästhetischen Darstellung von Flucht und Exil in Literatur und Film (Interkulturalität. Studien zu Sprache, Literatur und Gesellschaft #16)

Europa wird gegenwärtig neu gedacht: im Kontext von ›Flüchtlingskrise‹ und Brexit sowie unter Bedingungen von Transkontinentalität und Mehrsprachigkeit. Seine Grenzen werden in einem Spektrum wahrgenommen, das von Durchlässigkeit bis zur Abgrenzung reicht. Schicksale von Flucht und Exil werfen die Frage nach dem generativen Potential von Übergangsprozessen auf. Die in diesem Band versammelten Beiträge befassen sich daher mit literarischen und filmischen Werken, die quer zu homogenisierenden Bildern und Identitätsvorstellungen in Europa oder in anderen Weltteilen stehen. Sie stellen die Bedeutung von Entgrenzungen heraus, die Veränderungen bewirken, und prüfen, inwiefern Grenzräume auch zur Entwicklung von Übergängen beitragen.

September 2001 und der zunehmenden Beteiligung der Bundeswehr an internationalen Kampfeinsätzen werden Kriege und Terrorismus vermehrt in der Gegenwartsliteratur reflektiert. Ein wesentlicher Bestandteil dabei sind Grenzkonstruktionen wie Freund vs. Feind und Eigenes vs. Fremdes, die hinterfragt und neu ausgelotet werden. Stephanie Willeke stellt verschiedene Kriegsakteure in den Mittelpunkt der Untersuchung und eröffnet so ein multiperspektivisches Bild der literarischen Verarbeitung gegenwärtiger Kriege in deutschsprachigen Romanen. Die Studie bietet sowohl neue Sichtweisen auf das Kriegsgeschehen als auch auf den gesellschaftlichen Diskurs zum Thema.

Grey Bees

Ukraine's most famous novelist dramatises the conflict raging in his country through the adventures of a mild-mannered beekeeper. From the author of the bestselling Death and the Penguin."A latter-day Bulgakov . . . A Ukrainian Murakami" - Phoebe Taplin, GuardianLittle Starhorodivka, a village of three streets, lies in Ukraine's Grey Zone, the no-man's-land between loyalist and separatist forces. Thanks to the lukewarm war of sporadic violence and constant propaganda that has been dragging on for years, only two residents remain: retired safety inspector turned beekeeper Sergey Sergeyich and Pashka, a "frenemy" from his schooldays.With little food and no electricity, under ever-present threat of bombardment, Sergeyich's one remaining pleasure is his bees. As spring approaches, he knows he must take them far from the Grey Zone so they can collect their pollen in peace. This simple mission on their behalf introduces him to combatants and civilians on both sides of the battle lines: loyalists, separatists, Russian occupiers and Crimean Tatars. Wherever he goes, Sergeyich's childlike simplicity and strong moral compass disarm everyone he meets. But could these qualities be manipulated to serve an unworthy cause, spelling disaster for him, his bees and his country?Grey Bees is as timely as the author's Ukraine Diaries were in 2014, but treats the unfolding crisis in a more imaginative way, with a pinch of Kurkov's signature humour. Who better than Ukraine's most famous novelist - who writes in Russian - to illuminate and present a balanced portrait of this most bewildering of modern conflicts?Translated from the Russian by Boris Dralyuk
