Responding to an influential view shaping this debate, that Glissant’s work can be categorised into an early political and late apolitical phase, this dissertation claims that this division is based on a narrow conception of 'engaged political writing' that prevents a more comprehensive view of the changing political strategies Glissant pursued throughout his life from emerging. Proceeding from this conceptual basis, the dissertation is concerned with re-reading the dimensions of Glissant's work that have hitherto been relegated as apolitical, literary or poetic, with the aim of conceptualising the politics of relation as an integral part of his overall poetic project. In methodological terms, the dissertation therefore proposes a relational reading of Glissant’s life-work across literary genres, epochs, as well as the conventional divisions between political thought, writing and activism. This perspective is informed by Glissant's philosophy of relation, and draws on a conception of political practice that includes both explicit engagements with established political systems and institutions, as well as literary and cultural interventions geared towards their transformation and the creation of alternatives to them. Theoretically the work thus combines a poststructuralist lens on the conceptual difference between 'politics' and 'the political' with arguments for an inherent political quality of literature, and perspectives from the Afro-Caribbean radical tradition, in which writers and intellectuals have historically sought to combine discursive interventions with organisational actions. Applying this theoretical angle to the analysis of Glissant's politics of relation results in an interdisciplinary research framework designed to explore the synergies between postcolonial political and literary studies. In order to comprehensively describe Glissant's politics of relation without recourse to evolutionary or digressive models, the concept of an intellectual marronage is proposed as a framework to map the strategies making up Glissant's political archive. Drawing on a variety of historic, political theoretical and literary sources, intellectual marronage is understood as a mode of radical resistance to the neocolonial subjugation for which the plantation system stands historically and metaphorically, as an inherently innovative political practice invested in the creation of communities marked by relational ontologies, and as a commitment to fostering an imagination of the world and the human that differs fundamentally from the Enlightenment paradigm. This specific conception of intellectual marronage forms the basis on which three key strategies that consistently shape Glissant's political practice are identified and mapped. They revolve around Glissant's engagement with history (chapter 2), his commitment to fostering an imagination of the Tout-Monde (whole-world) as a political point of reference (chapter 3), and the continuous exploration of alternative forms of community on the levels of the island, the archipelago and the Tout-Monde (chapter 4). Together these strategies constitute Glissant's personal politics of relation. Its abstract characteristics can be put in a productive conversation with related theoretical traditions invested in exploring the political potentials of fugitivity (chapters 5), as well as with the work of other postcolonial actors whose holistic practice warrants to be described as a politics of relation (chapter 6). N2 - Diese Dissertation befasst sich mit der politischen Dimension des Werks von Édouard Glissant (1928-2011), der zu den einflussreichsten aus der frankophonen Karibik stammenden postkolonialen Theoretiker*innen gezählt wird. Durch eine Kombination von literatur- und politikwissenschaftlichen Ansätzen wird Glissants Werk als Ganzes studiert und auf seine politischen Potenziale geprüft. Kennzeichnend für den verfolgten Rechercheansatz ist ein weites Verständnis des Politischen, das sich von gängigen Vorstellungen der Auseinandersetzung mit politischen Systemen und Machtkämpfen unterscheidet, in dem es literarischer und kultureller Arbeit dezidiert politische Bedeutung zuschreibt. Das Konzept der Politik der Relation aufgreifend, welches in Glissants späteren Schriften erscheint, befasst sich diese Arbeit mit den Fragen, was ist die Politik der Relation? Wie kann sie beschrieben werden? Und welche Verbindungen lassen sich zwischen ihr und verwandten politischen Praktiken nachzeichnen? Die Forschungsarbeit kommt dabei zu dem Ergebnis, dass mit der Politik der Relation sowohl die diversen politischen Praktiken beschrieben werden können, die das Werk Glissants durchziehen, als auch außerhalb dieses Bereichs postkoloniale politische Praktiken analysiert werden können. Im erstgenannten Kontext bezieht sich der Begriff auf eine ganzheitliche und vielschichtige Praxis eines Dichters und Intellektuellen, dessen politisches Engagement in erster Linie auf Veränderungen im Bereich des Imaginären und der Erschaffung alternativer Gemeinschaften abzielte, der jedoch darüber hinaus wiederholt diskursiv und organisatorisch in bestehende Institutionen und Gemeinschaften intervenierte, um Relationen herzustellen, die von bestehenden Diskursen und politischen Strukturen unterbunden wurden. Im zweiten Kontext, also außerhalb von Glissants eigenem politischen Denken und Handeln, wird die Politik der Relation zudem als ein Begriff vorgeschlagen, der die Praxis bestimmter postkolonialer Akteure beschreiben kann, deren Handeln jeweils ein ganzheitlicher Anspruch zugrunde liegt, bei dem Leben und Schreiben, Inhalt und Form, Mittel und Zwecke nicht voneinander getrennt werden können. Ihre politische Praxis orientiert sich an der radikalen Diversität und Vernetzung aller Kulturen der Welt, sie schöpft aus ihr Kraft und strebt an, sie zu beschützen. Indem die Dissertation Verbindungen zwischen diesen beiden Ebenen aufzeigt, ist sie methodisch ebenfalls relational angelegt.

The focus is on their trip from Genève to Kabul that Ella Maillart and Annemarie Schwarzenbach made together in 1939/1940 and Nicolas Bouvier 1953/1954 with the artist Thierry Vernet. The comparison shows the strong connection between the journey and life and between ars vivendi and travel literature. This book also gives an overview of and organises the numerous terms, genres, and categories that already exist to describe various travel texts and proposes the new term travelling narration. The travelling narration looks at the text from a narratological perspective that distinguishes the author, narrator, and protagonist within the narration. In the examination, ten motifs could be found to characterise the travelling narration: Culture, Crossing Borders, Freedom, Time and Space, the Aesthetics of Landscapes, Writing and Reading, the Self and/as the Other, Home, Religion and Spirituality as well as the Journey. The importance of each individual motif does not only apply in the 1930s or 1950s but also transmits important findings for living together today and in the future.

Im Mittelpunkt steht die Reise von Genève nach Kabul, die Ella Maillart gemeinsam mit Annemarie Schwarzenbach 1939/1940 und Nicolas Bouvier 1953/1954 mit dem Künstler Thierry Vernet unternahmen. Der Vergleich zeigt die enge Verbindung zwischen der Reise und dem Leben sowie zwischen ars vivendi und Reiseliteratur. Das Buch gibt einen Überblick über die zahlreichen Begriffe, Gattungen und Kategorien, die bereits zur Beschreibung verschiedener Reisetexte existieren, und schlägt den neuen Begriff der reisenden Erzählung „travelling narration“ vor. Die reisende Erzählung betrachtet den Text aus einer narratologischen Perspektive, die den Autor, Erzähler und Protagonisten innerhalb der Erzählung unterscheidet. In der Untersuchung konnten zehn Motive gefunden werden, die die reisende Erzählung charakterisieren: Kultur, Grenzüberschreitung, Freiheit, Zeit und Raum, Ästhetik der Landschaft, Schreiben und Lesen, das Selbst und / oder der Andere, Heimat, Religion und Spiritualität sowie die Reise. Die Bedeutung jedes einzelnen Motivs gilt nicht nur für die 1930er oder 1950er Jahre, sondern vermittelt auch wichtige Erkenntnisse für das Zusammenleben heute und in der Zukunft.

L'accent est mis sur le voyage de Genève à Kaboul qu'Ella Maillart et Annemarie Schwarzenbach ont effectué ensemble en 1939/1940 et Nicolas Bouvier 1953/1954 avec l'artiste Thierry Vernet. La comparaison montre le lien fort entre le voyage et la vie et entre l'ars vivendi et la littérature de voyage. Ce livre donne également un aperçu et organise les nombreux termes, genres et catégories qui existent déjà pour décrire les différents textes de voyage et propose le nouveau terme narration itinérante „travelling literature“. La narration itinérante examine le texte dans une perspective narratologique qui distingue l'auteur, le narrateur et le protagoniste au sein de la narration. Au cours de l'examen, dix motifs ont été trouvés pour caractériser le récit de voyage : La culture, la traversée des frontières, la liberté, le temps et l'espace, l'esthétique des paysages, l'écriture et la lecture, le soi et l'autre, la maison, la religion et la spiritualité ainsi que le voyage. L'importance de chaque motif individuel ne s'applique pas seulement aux années 1930 ou 1950, mais transmet également des conclusions importantes pour le vivre ensemble aujourd'hui et à l'avenir.

The present Visual World eye-tracking study tested bilingual heritage Russian–English adults and investigated how they interpret of sentences like Every alligator lies in a bathtub in both languages. Participants performed a sentence–picture verification task while their eye movements were recorded. Pictures showed three pairs of alligators in bathtubs and two extra objects: elephants (Control condition), bathtubs (Overexhaustive condition), or alligators (Underexhaustive condition). Monolingual adults performed at ceiling in all conditions. Heritage language (HL) adults made 20% q-spreading errors, but only in the Overexhaustive condition, and when they made an error they spent more time looking at the two extra bathtubs during the Verb region. We attribute q-spreading in HL speakers to cognitive overload caused by the necessity to integrate conflicting sources of information, i.e. the spoken sentences in their weaker, heritage, language and attention-demanding visual context, that differed with respect to referential salience.

The first study employed the masked priming technique to investigate -ed forms with a group of advanced Arabic-speaking learners of English. The results replicate previously found L1/L2 differences in morphological priming, even though in the present experiment an extra temporal delay was offered after the presentation of the prime words. The second study examined the timing of constraints against inflected forms inside derived words in English using the eye-movement monitoring technique and an additional acceptability judgment task with highly advanced Dutch L2 learners of English in comparison to adult L1 English controls. Whilst offline the L2 learners performed native-like, the eye-movement data showed that their online processing was not affected by the morphological constraint against regular plurals inside derived words in the same way as in native speakers. Taken together, these findings indicate that L2 learners are not just slower than native speakers in processing morphologically complex words, but that the L2 comprehension system employs real-time grammatical analysis (in this case, morphological information) less than the L1 system.

T1 - The Syntax of Focus and Interrogation in Awing BT - a Descriptive Approach JF - Interdisciplinary studies on information structure : ISIS ; working papers of the SFB 632 N2 - According to Aikhenvald (2007:5), descriptive linguistics or linguistic fieldwork “ideally involves observing the language as it is used, becoming a member of the community, and often being adopted into the kinship system”. Descriptive linguistics therefore differs from theoretical linguistics in that while the former seeks to describe natural languages as they are used, the latter, other than describing, attempts to give explanations on how or why language phenomena behave in certain ways. Thus, I will abstract away from any preconceived ideas on how sentences ought to be in Awing and take the linguist/reader through focus and interrogative constructions to get a feeling of how the Awing people interact verbally.
