The research project within the framework of the Walter Benjamin Fellowship is part of my habilitation project on the history of European (political) asylum since the French Revolution. The transformations of the term 'asylum' and the practices associated with it will be described, on the one hand, as a history of law, and, on the other hand, as an arena of cultural communication processes in the age of the nation-state. Asylum, according to the guiding thesis, has become a site of precarious and contested speech since the late 18th century. Thus, to this day, the (illegal) crossing of a state border is associated with forms of narrative, sometimes even of coerced narration. Modeling asylum as a discursive process, the performative power of language and especially the institution of 'literature' comes into play.On the one hand, the planned book is located within the field of German studies, insofar as - besides French and English authors - predominantly German-language texts are scrutinized. On the other hand, it aims precisely at the transgressions of national adherence. It focuses such texts of 'German literature' that do not reproduce the multiple identities of language, territory, and state, but rather problematize them. The project aims to tie in with recent fields of research and to develop a discourse-historical conception of asylum as the site of a specific, political-literary communication on the basis of studies in law, migration, political science, and cultural studies. It thus aims both at a little-noticed area in the relationship between literature and law and at a more precise understanding of the role of cultural encodings of mobility.For the time at the University of Aix-Marseille, which could start in fall-term 2021 (september), I plan to work on book chapters on the first half of the 20th century. In these, the waves of refugees in the 1930s and 40s towards Paris and Marseille in particular play a central role. In exchange with the highly interesting cultural studies research on exile conducted at the University of Aix-Marseille by my host Prof. Alexis Nuselovici, but also by other colleagues such as Prof. Catherine Mazauric (Aix-Marseille), as well as on the basis of studies in relevant archives in Marseille, the connection between narration, legal history and the bureaucracy of flight will be elaborated and related to conceptions of asylum. During my stay, I will be able to participate in the "Laboratoire" on literature and exile initiated by Prof. Nuselovici and present my own results. I will also get to know the work of the research group "Exil et Migrations" at the Collège d'études mondiales (Paris), which is also directed by Prof. Nuselovici. At the end of my research stay, I will publish an article in a peer-reviewed literary studies journal.

沃尔特·本杰明奖学金框架内的研究项目是我关于法国大革命以来欧洲(政治)庇护史的适应项目的一部分。‘庇护’一词及其相关做法的转变一方面将被描述为一部法律史，另一方面将被描述为民族国家时代文化交流过程的一个舞台。根据指导性论文，自18世纪末以来，庇护已成为危险和有争议的言论的场所。因此，直到今天，(非法)越境都与叙事形式联系在一起，有时甚至是强迫叙事。将避难所建模为一个话语过程，语言的表演性力量，特别是“文学”的制度发挥了作用。一方面，计划出版的这本书位于德语研究领域，因为--除了法语和英语作者--主要是德语文本被仔细审查。另一方面，它的目标恰恰是违反国家遵守的规定。它聚焦于那些没有再现语言、领土和国家的多重身份，而是使它们成为问题的“德国文学”文本。该项目旨在与最近的研究领域相结合，并在法律、移民、政治学和文化研究的基础上，发展一种话语历史概念，将庇护作为具体的政治-文学交流的场所。因此，它既针对文学和法律之间关系中一个鲜为人知的领域，也旨在更准确地理解流动性的文化编码的作用。在2021年秋季学期(9月)开始的艾克斯-马赛大学，我计划撰写20世纪上半叶的书籍章节。在这些事件中，20世纪30年代和40年代涌入巴黎和马赛的难民潮尤其起到了核心作用。与我的东道主Alexis Nuselovici教授以及Catherine Mazauric教授(Aix-Marseille)等其他同事在艾克斯-马赛大学进行的关于流亡的高度有趣的文化研究相交换，以及在马赛相关档案研究的基础上，将详细阐述叙述、法律历史和逃亡官僚机构之间的联系，并与庇护概念有关。在我逗留期间，我将能够参加由Nuselovici教授发起的关于文学和流亡的“实验室”，并展示我自己的成果。我还将了解蒙古学院(巴黎)“流亡与移民”研究小组的工作，该小组也由努塞洛维奇教授指导。在我的研究之旅结束后，我将在一份同行评议的文学研究杂志上发表一篇文章。
