Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2014. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis investigates counter-voices, counter-gazes and
(de-)constructions of German-African identities in contemporary German literature. In
extended application of postcolonial concepts it examines the way in which post-colonial views
and counter-views on Germany and Africaare produced and how in the process alternative
identities are created and negotiated. Analyzing poetry, short stories and novels by Black
German authors (May Ayim, Ika Hügel-Marshall, ManuEla Ritz and Olumide Popoola) as well
as by African literary voices writing in German (El Loko, Daniel Mepin, Philomène Atyame
and Luc Degla), the thesis looks at and evaluates strategies of literary hybridization, responses
to and deconstructions of the colonial imaginary, transcultural positioning and world literary
perspectives. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie tesis ondersoek enkele teenstemme, teenblikke en
(de-)konstruksies van Duits-Afrika identiteite spruitend uit Duitsland en dié uit Afrika in
hedendaagse Duitse literatuur. Deurʼn uitgebreide toepassing van postkoloniale
konsepte,ondersoek die tesis die wysewaarop die post-koloniale sienings en teenstandpunte oor
Duitsland en Afrika geproduseer word en hoe in die proses alternatiewe identiteite geskep en
onderhandel word. Deur die ontleding van gedigte, kortverhale en romans deur swart Duitse
skrywers (May Ayim, Ika Hügel-Marshall, ManuEla Ritz en Olumide Popoola) sowel as Duitse
werke deur literêre stemme uit Afrika (El Loko, Daniel Mepin, Philomène Atyame en Luc
Degla), bekyk en evalueer die tesis strategieë van literêre verbastering, antwoorde op en
dekonstruksies van die koloniale denkbeeldige, transkulturele plasing en wêreld literêre
perspektiewe.
