This article investigates the interconnections between these two forms of thinking in alternatives by looking specifically at Quentin Tarantino's counterfactual war film Inglourious Basterds (2009) and Christian Kracht's alternate history novel Ich werde hier sein im Sonnenschein und im Schatten (2008). I argue that the consideration of language alternatives forms part of the meta-reflection of the alternate history genre in these works while at the same time opening up a political perspective: in Tarantino's film and Kracht's novel, multilingualism serves as a means for the critique of ideology by rendering palpable the political threats of a worldview based on clear-cut alternatives. In the article's final section, I plead for the establishment of stronger links between the research on literary multilingualism and the theory of fiction.}, language = {de} } @phdthesis{Navratil2022, author = {Navratil, Michael}, title = {Kontrafaktik der Gegenwart}, series = {Gegenwartsliteratur}, journal = {Gegenwartsliteratur}, publisher = {de Gruyter}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-11-076296-9}, doi = {10.1515/9783110763119}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {X, 607}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Nicht-realistisches Erz{\"a}hlen ist hochpopul{\"a}r, wurde aber h{\"a}ufig des politischen Eskapismus verd{\"a}chtigt.
