Диалогът на културите в романите на български и турски автори „мигранти“
The dialogue between cultures in the novels of Bulgarian and Turkish 'migrant' authors

Emine Özdamar, Feridun Zaimoğlu, Ilija Trojanow, Dimitre Dinev

Summary/Abstract: What the four authors in the title of the present paper have in common, is positioning the dialogue between cultures in the topos of 'between', 'the border space'. Central to the plotline of the novels are the so-called 'no-places' (non-lieux, Nicht-Orte) (Auge), transtopoi (Foucault), such as airports, railway stations, harbours, planes, trains, ships, refugee camps, hotels, holiday resorts, parking lots, gas-stations, shopping malls. Such „open“ spaces are not only local markers; they often turn into main characters in this type of literary texts, which question the standard models of behaviour and thinking; change identities, transfer and bring together different cultural standards.
