This paper analyzes exemplary art projects including and about refugees, projects committed to both, the arts scene and the community they want to serve. Considering the dilemmas of participation, we develop a conceptual framework: In that, we focus on the "figure of the third", playing a split and ambiguous role within the production as well as in the representation of these performances. Using the concept, we try to explain irony and cynicism as rhetorical effects and solidarity and paternalism as political effects. The framework is applied to investigate different stagings of (1) Charges: (The Supplicants) by Elfriede Jelinek and (2) Homohalal by Ibrahim Amir. In these stagings, participation proved to be overburdened with promises, but also allowed for diverse and partly unexpected results.

Culture studies try to understand how people assume identities and how they perceive reality. In this perspective narration, as a basic form of cognitive processing, is a fundamental cultural technique. Narrations provide the coherence, temporal organization and semantic integration that are essential for the development and communication of identity, knowledge and orientation in a socio-cultural context. In essence, Anderson's 'Imagined Communities' need to be thought of as 'Narrated Communities' from the beginning. Narration is made up by what people think; and vice versa, narration makes up people's thoughts. What is considered "fictitious" or "real" no longer separates narratives from an "outside" they refer to, but rather represents different narratives.0Narration not only constructs notions of what was "real" in retrospect, but also prospectively creates possible worlds, even in the (supposedly hard) sciences, as in e.g. the imaginative simulation of physical processes. The book's unique interdisciplinary approach shows how the implications of this fundamental insight go far beyond the sphere of literature and carry weight for both scholarly and scientific disciplines
