Individuelle Grenzerfahrung : zum Spannungsfeld zwischen Eigenem und Fremdem aus der Perspektive der Interkulturellen Literaturwissenschaft

Through the influence of postcolonial studies one tried to cross borders by alleviating all kind of differences such as the experience of strangeness. However, these differences still exist as we can come to know in everyday life. Andrea Leskovec insists on this experience of strangeness as basis for her "Alternativer hermeneutischer Ansatz für eine interkulturell ausgerichtete Literaturwissenschaft" (2009, 2011) based on the ideas of Bernhard Waldenfels. This approach combined with Lösch' and Breinig' theory of transdifference permits a well-founded literary analysis in consideration of current experiences. The exemplary analysis of "Nur Gute kommt ins Himmel" by D. Rajčić provides a first insight into the range of this approach. This includes the terminology for describing phenomena of strangeness in literary textes such as the appropriateness of this approach considering the plurality and diversity of (literary) reality.
