Carmen Francesca Bancius Reisen zwischen bekannten und imaginären Geographien
Carmen Francesca Banciu's Journeys between well-known and imaginary Geographies

Summary/Abstract: This study pursues the goal of signalizing the meaning of culinary experiences in the process of identity construction. The spiritual stomach is the metaphorical expression of that perception organ, which helps the writer to integrate the personal past from the communistic Rumania into the new Berlin environment. Berlin in the Novel Berlin ist mein Paris of Carmen Francesca Banciu constitutes both a real geographical space as well as an imaginary geography. Experiencing time and space by means of culinary acts is the way Carmen Francesca Banciu describe the difficulties of integration and identity definition in a foreign land.
