摘要

This dissertation examines literary methods of counteracting dominant societal reality in the writing of three intercultural authors. It reveals that each different author's approach pits a 'reality of language' against the very dominant conditions which exclude cultural minorities from equal participation in society. This counter-reality is invented through the deployment of linguistic dimensions such as sound, materiality and individual speech, emphasizing a language beyond preconceived levels of meaning.;In the introduction, the concepts of 'language' and 'reality' are juxtaposed. Informed by language-philosophical theories, especially constructivism, I argue that 'reality' is a construct that cannot be thought of independently from language. Hence the authenticity of a single reality is challenged by the discussion of the presence of different, potentially competing realities.;In three chapters I investigate how selected texts by three intercultural authors approach the interlinked concepts of language and reality. In chapter one, poetry by the Spanish-German poet Jose F.A. Oliver is analyzed with regard to the particular dependence of intercultural identity on dominant linguistic practices, such as unequal modes of dialog with members of the majority. I conclude that sound, in particular, takes the role in Oliver's poetry of an agent for criticizing prevalent ideas of language and reality.;The second chapter focuses on the play "Keloglan in Alamania" by the Turkish-German author Emine Sevgi Ozdamar. The title character's social and corporeal marginalization is linked to a linguistically constructed understanding of reality. Keloglan's name, in particular, is, on the one hand, a barrier to societal inclusion and, on the other hand, also a chance for emancipation from dominant conventions of naming. The speech act of multiple re-namings---performative speaking---represents an opportunity to oppose prevalent conditions by articulating an alternate potential reality.;In the third chapter, selected writings by the Japanese-German author Yoko Tawada are analyzed with regard to the question of the materiality of language, in particular of sound and script. I demonstrate that the author takes the position of a 'foreigner' towards language through a method of reification of language. In doing so she undermines linguistically constructed modes of reality and, ultimately, the concept of foreignness itself.

Oliver)的诗歌,分析了跨文化身份对主流语言实践的特殊依赖,例如与多数成员对话的不平等方式。我得出的结论是,声音尤其是在奥利弗的诗人中扮演了批评语言和现实的普遍观念的角色。第二章重点讨论土耳其-德国作家埃米娜·塞夫吉·奥兹达玛尔的戏剧“阿拉米亚的科洛格兰”。主人公角色的社会边缘化和物质边缘化与语言构造的对现实的理解有关。特别是Keloglan的名字,一方面是社会包容性的障碍,另一方面,又是从主要命名惯例中解放出来的机会。多次重命名的演讲行为-表现性演讲-通过表达潜在的潜在现实代表了反对普遍条件的机会。在第三章中,分析了日德作家田田洋子的精选著作。语言的重要性,尤其是声音和文字的问题。我证明了作者通过一种语言化的方法对语言采取“外国人”的立场。她这样做破坏了语言构造的现实模式,并最终破坏了异性本身的概念。
