Ewig Peripherie?

Abstract

Abstract Based on sociological approaches to the relationship between inequality and space, the article analyses the connections between spatial, class and post-migration perspectives in Deniz Ohdeʼs Streulicht. In particular, the urban periphery that features as the location of the novel is both a literary and socially representative space. In the text social and individual-mental aspects are negotiated through the representation of space. This also includes the xenophobic attributions that the narrator experiences from her environment.
