Abstract

Diaspora and Nation: Migration into Other Pasts

This essay reflects on diasporic and national memory and offers a case study of a little-known, but important novel by Zafer Senocak, a Turkish-German writer in whose work this constellation of diaspora and nation has become central after and because of German national unification. Diaspora and nation are analyzed as interdependent rather than opposing concepts. Senocak’s novel poses a key question facing today’s Turkish diaspora in Germany: is it possible or even desirable for a diasporic community to migrate into the catastrophic history of the host nation?
