\n\u201cContemporary German Migration Literature – A postmodern quest for identity?\u201d
\nThis paper is part of a project dealing with different theories and concepts of identity in connection with migration. My talk wants to show a development in German migration literature from the 1960s to the present day, in which the topics addressed by these authors have significantly changed. The very beginnings were coined by a \u201cliterature of sadness\u201d and over the years there has been a change towards a dealing with problems that are triggered by our postmodern society. This paper tries to find out to what extent the quest for identity of 3rd generation immigrants is still influenced by the experience of the migration itself.
