Postmigration and Postcolonialism / Postmigration et postcolonialisme: Comparative Perspectives on French- and German-Language Literatures and Music / Perspectives comparées sur les musiques et littératures franco- et germanophones

In recent years, the concept of postmigration has become increasingly relevant to interdisciplinary research, whether it refers to a postmigrant generation (of authors or musicians), to a postmigrant societies or perspectives. The parallels to postcolonialism have been repeatedly emphasized. But to what extent do the two approaches overlap in terms of content and structure? This volume is the result of a Franco-German collaboration and aims to answer this question beyond strictly national contexts, through theoretical reflections and case studies from both French- and German-language literature and music. The contributions deal with the relationship between rap, contemporary literature and migration, intermedial relationships between literature and music, identity and body concepts of a postmigrant generation, postmigrant linguistic reflections and practices, as well as postcolonial and postmigrant society models.
