Yet 'minority writing' and its distinctive renegotiation of traditional concepts of cultural identity are far from a recent phenomenon in German literature. More than a hundred years ago, German-Jewish writers put a clear stamp on German modernism and were intensely engaged in various cultural and political discourses on Jewish identity. This book is the first to unfold literary parallels between these two riveting periods in German cultural history. Drawing on the philosophical oeuvre of Jean-Luc Nancy, a comparative reading of texts by, amongst others, Beer-Hofmann, Kermani, O?zdamar, Roth, Schnitzler, and Zaimoglu examines similar literary approaches to the thorny issue of cultural identity in either period, while developing an overarching perspective on the 'politics of literature'. 606 $aGerman literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGerman literature$y21st century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aNationalism in literature 615 0$aGerman literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGerman literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aNationalism in literature. 676 $a830.900914 700 $aRock$b Lene$0942247 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476889103321 996 $aAs German as Kafka$92126246 997 $aUNINA
