Bol Interculturality and identity crisis in German literature after reunification This book examines the problems of interculturality and identity crisis in German literature after reunification. The author takes Christa Wolf's Medea. Voices as his starting point, a novel that depicts the relationships between the patriarchal West (Corinth) and the matriarchal East (Colchis); In other words, two spaces and two cultures (customs and traditions) are in conflict. The dreamt-of, idyllic West is impervious to the mixing of cultures. There, mixed-race children are killed and their mothers banished. This leads to a partopia, a neither-nor situation for Medea; all she has left is her longing for her homeland; the foreign culture is at least an opportunity and a trial run for this character to evaluate her own culture. Another characteristic feature of this book is the fact that Jason - the father of the killed mixed-race children - is nevertheless regarded as a citizen of the world (citoyen du monde). This book also addresses the German-German question after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
