Gegenwartsliteratur aus Südtirol – Trends und Entwicklungen (1990-2005)

Abstract

This article is a comprehensive analysis of representative contemporary literature (1990-2005) published by German-speaking minority writers from the northern Italian province of South Tyrol / Alto Adige. It is argued that although the selected works reflect many differing literary genres, themes, and styles, some of the texts converge on one major element: the artistic reaction to the region’s multilingual and multiethnic environment.
