Ekphrasis is a tool used with the purpose opening different levels of meaning in a literary text, which can be seen in Patricia Görg’s tale “Glücksspagat”. In the tale, parallel to the representation of the daily life of the museums keeper Maat, the reader is faced with fragments of ekphrasises of paintings and TV-simulations. The richness of this tale is achieved particularly due to the alternations between the ekphrasises. This article discusses the various functions of the use of Ekphrasis and simulations in the tale and focuses on the way they contribute to the creation of meaning.
Recently the changing and the internationalization of the German philology are increasing continually. On this development not only the cooperation of its actants plays an important role, but also the subject of the German philology itself has been extended. One of the factors of the extension of its subjects is the so called ‘intercultural literature’ in Germany, which is the result of the migration since the beginning of the sixties. In this kind of the literature, among other things, the cultural differences are made a subject of discussion with specific literary means. One of the novels of the intercultural literature is “Selam Berlin” written by Yade Kara. In this article, it should be worked out which identity discourses are developed, how the new social formation in Germany has an effect on the individuals and which role the self and strange perceptions play in this novel.
The life of humans goes on through the coincidence of time and space. Every human has a different environment in life. According to Otto Friedrich Bollnow, humans can have prosperous and healthy life if they set up a balance between their lives in and outside their homes. This idea has been confirmed in the German author Herrad Schenk’s ,,Am Ende” and the Turkish author Orhan Pamuk’s ,,Die Geschichte des Prinzen” (,,Das schwarze Buch”) . It is the aim of this study to examine comparatively this balance expressed in both books.
