TY - JOUR A1 - Wiemann, Dirk A1 - Raja, Ira A1 - Shaswati, Mazumdar T1 - Postcolonial world literature BT - Narration, translation, imagination JF - Thesis eleven : critical theory and historical sociology N2 - Postcolonial criticism has repeatedly debunked the ostensible neutrality of the ‘world’ of world literature by pointing out that and how the contemporary world – whether conceived in terms of cosmopolitan conviviality or neoliberal globalization – cannot be understood without recourse to the worldly event of Europe’s colonial expansion. While we deem this critical perspective indispensable, we simultaneously maintain that to reduce ‘the world’ to the world-making impact of capital, colonialism, and patriarchy paints an overly deterministic picture that runs the risk of unwittingly reproducing precisely that dominant ‘oneworldness’ that it aims to critique. Moreover, the mere potentiality of alternative modes of world-making tends to disappear in such a perspective so that the only remaining option to think beyond oneworldness resides in the singularity claim. This insistence on singularity, however, leaves the relatedness of the single units massively underdetermined or denies it altogether. By contrast, we locate world literature in the conflicted space between the imperial imposition of a hierarchically stratified world (to which, as hegemonic forces tell us, ‘there is no alternative’) and the unrealized ‘undivided world’ that multiple minor cosmopolitan projects yet have to win. It is precisely the tension between these ‘two worlds’ that brings into view the crucial centrality not of the nodes in their alleged singularity but their specific relatedness to each other, that both impedes and energizes world literature today and renders it ineluctably postcolonial.

Two types of dynamics are identified in the advanced acquisition(1) of Turkish orthography in the heritage context. One is the dynamic of language contact, where in certain areas of the orthography, we find a re-interpretation of Turkish principles according to the German model. However, this changes as the pupils grow up. The second dynamic is the heritage situation. The heritage situation on one side leads to the establishment of new practices, and it also leads to a higher degree of variability of spelling solutions in those areas, where the orthographic system of Turkish poses challenges to every writer, whether monolingual and growing up in Turkey or heritage speaker.

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.

Während ab den 1960er-Jahren Science-Fiction-Autor*innen das Spekulative zum Imaginieren und Fabulieren von Post-race und Post-Gender-Welten nutzten, zeichnet sich seit einiger Zeit eine Veränderung in der feministischen Bezugnahme auf das Spekulative ab. Autor*innen wie Donna J. Haraway, Saidiya Hartman und Anna L. Tsing schlagen das Fabulative und Spekulative für eine andere Sicht auf das Jetzt und Hier vor, um sich der Komplexität von Klimawandel, Anthropozän und Dekolonisierung anzunehmen. Statt eine geschlossene Erzählung über etwas zu erzeugen, zeichnen sich die verschiedenen Unternehmungen feministischen Spekulierens durch besondere Modi der Situierung, Relationalität, Verantwortung und Offenheit aus. Der Band verfolgt eine Theorie- und Diskursgeschichte feministischer Genealogien, die ein besonderes Augenmerk auf Fragen der spekulativen Narrationen und Zeitlichkeiten legen. Dabei werden Autor*innen wie Luce Irigaray, Ursula K. Le Guin oder Hélène Cixous wieder- und neugelesen sowie Fragen nach dem kritischen Potenzial des Möglichen und Spekulativen für die Gegenwart aufgeworfen.
