    Literarische Integration in der Migrationsliteratur anhand der Beispiele von Franco Biondis Werken
    (1996)
    Photong-Wollmann, Pimonmas
    The “Migrationsliteratur”, German Literature written by immigrants, has become a part of the German literary life. This kind of literature gives us an opportunity to understand the circumstances and conditions of their living in this country. The “Migrationsliteratur” is, for the writing immigrants, a medium which represents their concepts of integration. The forms of integration found in the “Migrationsliteratur” are various. The first form concerns the social aspect, as the literature written by the immigrants can be understood as a medium, which emphasizes their social participation in the German society. The second form seen in the “Migrationsliteratur” shows us the experienced integration on the personal level as a long, difficult and mostly painful process. The word “integration” symbolizes a lost identity, alienation and generation conflicts within the migrant family. The last and the most important form of integration in the “Migrationsliteratur” concerns the literary aspect. This kind of writing shows us the cross-cultured literary acculturation as seen in the novels of the Italian writer Franco Biondi, who combines his native literary elements such as the influence of the famous Italian writers, Vittorini and Pirandello, and the German novel forms to create his owns. The novels of Biondi are therefore an outstanding example of integration in the “Migrationsliteratur”.
