Narrated Worlds. Liquefied Identities and Languages in Tomer Gardi’s Eine runde Sache and Tomer Dotan-Dreyfus’s Birobidschan

Abstract

Using the recent novels of the Israeli authors Tomer Gardi and Tomer Dotan-Dreyfus as examples, this article aims to show how they open up new perspectives on post-migrant writing by relegating autobiographical and autoethnographic aspects to the background and offering fictional designs in which spaces, times, languages, and cultural identities are liquefied and withdrawn from clear attributions.

Special attention is paid to the common tendencies of fabrication and fantastic storytelling, the creation of fictional spaces between utopia, heterotopia and dystopia, in which national, cultural attributions are questioned, and finally the special treatment of language and multilingualism, which questions linguistic norms.

Keywords:

Tomer Gardi, Tomer Dotan-Dreyfus, post-migrant writing, identity, fabulation, fictional spaces, dystopia, heterotopia, multilingualism
