Abstract
Borders and border-crossing constitute, as is well known, a Leitmotif in Theodor Fontane's work that can be interpreted in various ways. The author presents a multifaceted picture of Wilhelmine society and realistically depicts the contradictory desires, ambitions and fears of the bourgeois class. This multifaceted portrayal of society also includes the colonial experiences of the empire which, in the author's work, are often associated with the desire - and, at the same time, the fear - of the unknown, the foreigner and the exotic. In the present work, the figure of the foreigner is investigated in the light of the dialectical relationship between spaces and for the purposes of a critical reflection on the very concept of otherness.| File | Size | Format | |
