Interkulturalität im Werk von Alfred Döblin (1878-1957)

More about the book

Interculturality serves as a central theme in Döblin's work, intricately linked to historical processes such as war, colonization, and migration. His literary exploration is shaped by readings of ethnological and historical texts, as well as visits to museums, which broaden his understanding of non-European cultures. Despite financial limitations preventing travel to places like India or China, Döblin engages deeply with intertextuality and historical context, reflecting critically on both his own culture and foreign influences. His writing is portrayed as a journey of discovery, transcending time and space, revealing the complexities of cultural identity.
