Накратко на български

Мигранти от Югоизточна Европа в Германия и Австрия пренасят езиково, религиозно и политическо наследство чрез своите книги и текстове. Това помага да се разбере как литературата формира националната идентичност и противодейства на тесните представи за груповата принадлежност в Европа.

Migrant Authors from Southeastern Europe and the Transfer of Intangible Heritage

Migrant Authors from Southeastern Europe and the Transfer of Intangible Heritage (MASETIH) investigated the ways in which forms of intangible heritage (heritage forms that are mobile, dynamic and performative) are represented, transferred and performed in contemporary writings and text-based performances by migrant authors from Southeastern Europe living in Germany and Austria. The main objective of the comparative and interdisciplinary project was to identify the strategies of heritage representation, transfer and performance used by migrant authors to assert a sense of (trans)national identity through literary texts. The thesis of the project was that literature assumed a crucial, hitherto overlooked role in negotiating (trans)national identity and cultural heritage for migrant authors after 1980, and specifically those with roots in Southeastern Europe. This project examined three categories of intangible heritage (linguistic, religious and political heritage) on which migrant writing draws to challenge homogenous and exclusivist notions of group identity prevalent in Europe. MASETIH intended to fill several research gaps such the lack of systematic and comparative studies on migrant heritage, a lack of studies on the role of literature and art in heritage transfer, and the missing cross-fertilisation between studies on contemporary migrant literature, European heritage, multilingualism, gender relations amongst migrant groups and religious pluralism. MASETIH provided a systematic and comparative study on the transfer of migrant heritage by developing a theoretical model for identifying literary strategies (WP1), and defining a set of questions relating to the three categories of migrant heritage (linguistic, political and religious), (WP1). The methodology and set of questions were then applied to a corpus of texts written by migrant authors in German and BKS between 1960 and 2023.

Цел на проекта

Migrant Authors from Southeastern Europe and the Transfer of Intangible Heritage (MASETIH) examines how intangible heritage (i.e. heritage that is mobile, dynamic and performative rather than material) is represented and transferred in contemporary writings and text-based performances by migrant authors from Southeastern Europe living in Austria and Germany. Challenging discourses which pit a European humanist heritage against the heritage of migrants and minorities, this project examines the role of literature in negotiating (trans)national identity and cultural heritage for migrant authors after 1980. The main objective of the project is to investigate the transmission and preservation of intangible heritage forms (such as language and dialect, religious rites or arts and crafts) through the tangible medium of the literary text, and the role they play in the life experience of migrants. As a comparative and interdisciplinary project, it foregrounds hitherto neglected aspects of cultural transfer, gender and affect/emotion. To that end, I propose to examine linguistic, religious and political heritage as three crucial heritage categories on which migrant writers draw to challenge narratives of homogeneity and assimilation prevalent in Europe since the 19th century. The project analyses the ways in which migrant heritage is shaped by the complex and dynamic exchange with 1) the respective host country (Austria or Germany), 2) other migrant groups residing in the host country, as well as with 3) networks in the country of origin. Applying feminist theories from cultural studies, literary studies and cultural geography to an intercultural reading of migrant literature, MASETIH seeks to facilitate a deeper understanding of national identity formation, collective memory, gender and transnational cultural exchange in the 20th and 21st century.
