Drei Herangehensweisen an das transkulturelle Kinderbuch von Karin Gündisch "Großvaters Hähne" : Betrachtungen aus Perspektiven der Soziolinguistik, der Gastrosophie und der Migrationsliteratur
- The main theme “Identity and Alterity” requires a comprehensive view over the literary personages who are characterized by their backgrounds, their language and their food culture as well. Therefore, an interdisciplinary extending of perspectives should enhance the mere literary analysis. For this purpose the fields of study Sociolinguistics and Gastrosophy (a still insufficiently acknowledged humane discipline) are advisable. The sociolinguistic perspective illustrates the acquired or renegotiated spiritual home and identity of the personages within their language, whereas the gastrosophic perspective investigates their identity considering specific eating habits. The migration background of the reviewed author functions as a mirror which reflects and conveys these aspects in an inventive way. The paper intends to demonstrate to what extend the suggested approaches are suitable for analyzing a transcultural text.
