TY - JOUR A1 - Stooss-Herbertz, Adelaide A1 - Stooss, Lucie T1 - Bild und Gegenbild : Brasilien im Werk Hugo Loetschers T2 - Contingentia : Zeitschrift der Deutschen Abteilung in Zusammenarbeit mit der Post-Graduierung im Bereich Literatur- und Sprachwissenschaft der Bundesuniversität Porto Alegre (UFRGS) N2 - Brazil is a popular writing subject. Its representation is full of varieties and reaches from "exotic country", "the land of the future", "paradise", "the unknown country" to a reputation of being underdeveloped with its inhabitants living in misery. Hugo Loetscher, an important contemporary Swiss writer, defined Brazil as a place of encounter with the enemy, i.e. another culture, nature or with himself: a discovery of the consequences of colonialism and the search for a new proper identity. This article focuses on the image of Brazil in Loetscher's work, trying to get to know Brazil as a place in German literature that offers a possibility for an intercultural dialogue.
