Rethinking Minor Literature and Small Literature as Secondary Zone Literature
The aim of this article is to argue thatboth"minor literature" and "small literature"should be readdressedas Michel Ragon's "secondary zone literature"from three perspectives. Firstly, it will be argued that "minor and small literature" began to lose its theoretical capacitywith the advent of globalization after the new millennium. Secondly, the problems of "minor literature" and "small literature" will be updated. "Minor literature"mainly has two problems: 1) The first feature of "minor literature"runs the risk of not only dismissing all literature written by minorities in "minor languages", but also diminishing the possible meanings of the term, "minority"; and 2) The second and third characteristics of "minor literature"are unable to explain why only non-European artsareperceived to be political and collective. "Small literature"also has two problems: a) it fails to explain why countries thathardly qualify as 'small', face problems similar to those of "small literature" in the international literary context; and b) it does not have the capacity to explain the literature of minority and marginal groups within a nation or country. Thirdly, "minor and small literature" will be reconsidered as "secondary zone literature", not only in an attempt to emphasizecultural dynamics and power relations based on the visibility of various "minor & small" related literary works, but also to demonstrate that literature may beminor or small, but it always has quantitative implications.

Literature of immigration as a literature of Europe
In: Journal of European studies, Band 46, Heft 3-4, S. 326-336
ISSN: 1740-2379
Any understanding of European literature that does not include immigrant literature results in an incomplete vision of literature created in Europe. As immigrant writers have sought to find a place for themselves and their writing, the labels attached to that writing have been crucial. While such debates certainly have to do with the writers themselves and how they seek to have their writing read, they also reflect an anxiety in Europe about what counts as European literature and, not incidentally, who counts as European. To examine these issues, this article takes the example of the work of Franco-Turkish writer Sema Kılıçkaya. In contrast to the usual French fear of communautarisme, which signals for many the fragmentation of society along ethnic and religious lines, the article argues that Kılıçkaya's writing provides another model for national and European belonging, one that depends, perhaps paradoxically, on sub-national and local belonging – in both the country of origin and the country of settlement.

Was ist Literatur?
In: Frankfurter Hefte: Zeitschrift für Kultur und Politik, Band 34, Heft 11, S. 53-64
ISSN: 0015-9999
Nicht was Literatur sein kann oder sein soll sondern was Literatur bedeutet, was sie ist, soll untersucht werden. Die Schriftlichkeit und damit die Literatur ist ein qualitativer Sprung in der Geschichte der Menschheit, der es ermöglichte, Erfahrungen, Wissen und Geschichte über mehrere Generationen zu tradieren. Mit Hilfe der Schrift schaffte sich die Menschheit ein "kollektives Gedächtnis". Mit dieser Entwicklung ging die Aufzeichnung der Mythen und die Entwicklung der Wissenschaft einher. Um Wissenschaft, die ja überwiegend nicht selbst erfahrenes Wissen speichert, anwendbar zu machen, bedürfen wir der Einbildungskraft. Dadurch wird es dem Menschen im Gegensatz zu fast allen anderen Lebewesen möglich, sich prinzipiell die ganze Welt und die geschichtliche Welt zu vergegenwärtigen. (RO)

A literature of protest, a literature of change: On the role of directed culture in Chinese literature
In: Issues & studies: a social science quarterly on China, Taiwan, and East Asian affairs, Band 28, Heft 3, S. 60-75
ISSN: 1013-2511
Research from a number of China scholars in recent years indicates that protest and "dissent" literatures are much less forces for change, as has been previously assumed, and more examples of the continuing power of the "current system" in the People's Republic of China (PRC). According to the author, such literatures now appear as obstacles to the "forces for change" in this country. He argues that the form and underlying values of much PRC dissent in fact echo the assumptions about public life which support the rule of the Chinese Communist Party. (DÜI-Sen)
