Publication Access status: Open Access , Kämpfe um Fiktionen. Mithu Sanyals „Identitti“ zwischen Populärem Realismus und Postautonomie(2026-05-07)This article examines the tension between authorship and identity in works of Popular Realism, using Mithu Sanyal’s novel “Identitti” as a case study. At its core is the question of the extent to which the identity of authors and their (potential) experience of and exposure to marginalization function as a criterion for legitimacy and as a determinant of popularity. The starting point for these reflections is a critical engagement with Moritz Baßler’s concepts of Popular Realism and New/Modern Midcult. A brief analysis demonstrates how these concepts can be applied to Sanyal’s novel, and the points of criticism identified in this context – particularly the insufficient separation of ethics and aesthetics – lead to a plea for a post-autonomous perspective. In this perspective, the intertwining of ethics and aesthetics as well as the authorization to narrate are recognized as a specific potential of contemporary literature.Source Type:BookSeries:Transformationen des Populären.
