Representation of the Intricate Consciousness of Minority Groups as Manifested in Contemporary Literature, with particular reference to gender, class and language

我们重点关注多民族、多文化和多语言社会中少数民族诗人和小说家的语言选择和文学活动。特别注意到预先假定的影响其文学活动的各种因素，如性别、阶级、语言使用意识和种族认同。本研究小组个别研究人员的研究结果总结如下：1)仔细考察了土耳其女作家在德国定居后自我认同的转变或改革在其文学作品中具体化的过程。委员会还调查了她们作为妇女的角色的重新定义如何反映在她们的文学作品中。(2)对波多黎各女性作家的文学作品进行研究，这些作品的主题围绕着与女性有关的问题。在这项研究的过程中，对性别歧视的原则也给予了适当的考虑，这些原则与他们的民族主义理想有着不可分割的关系。3)在印度次大陆，基督教文学和伊斯兰文学分别被视为并一直是“少数民族的文学”，完全被印度教文学的主导地位和至高无上的地位所掩盖。印度教文学是印度最优秀的文学。目前的研究表明，这两种源自外国宗教的文学传统是如何在印度土地上建立和发展自己的身份的，这是对印度宗教传统中根深蒂固的本土诗学和文学习俗的最大让步。(4)拉科娃作为一名罗姆裔女作家，从她作为少数民族女性的身份及其对她文学活动的影响这一角度进行了适当的关注。5)本研究证明，主要居住在罗马尼亚特兰西瓦尼亚萨克森省（德语“Siebenburger Sachsen”）的德意志少数民族的心理特征是在当时环境和自身历史背景的强烈影响下形成和发展起来的。6)讨论了罗马尼亚占领下的布科维纳省讲德语的少数民族内部观察到的种族不和。目前的研究揭示了坚持其家谱认同的德国后裔群体与强调其文化和语言认同的犹太后裔群体之间这种不和谐的细节。少

We focused on the choice of language and literary activities of the poets and novelists belonging to minority groups in multi-ethnic, multicultural and multilingual societies. Special attention was paid to the presupposed multifarious factors which would affect their literary activities, such as gender, class, and awareness in language use and ethnic identity. The results of individual researchers in our team are summarized as follows:1)The process in which the shift or reformation of self-identity of female Turkish writers after their resettlement in Germany became crystallized in their literary works was closely examined. Inquiry was also made as to how the redefinition of their role as women had been reflected in their literary representations.2)The literary works by female Puerto Rican writers, the themes of which centered on female-related issues was investigated. In the course of this study due consideration was paid as well to the principles of sexual discrimination inseparably … More related to their nationalist ideals.3)Christian literature and Islam literature in the Indian Subcontinent have been regarded as and remained to be "the literature of minority" respectively, totally overshadowed under the dominance and supremacy of Hindu literature, the literature par excellence in India. The present research showed how these two literary traditions derived from religions of foreign origin had established and developed their own identity in the Indian soil, making a maximal concession to the indigenous poetics and literary conventions firmly rooted and nurtured in Hindu religious tradition.4)Lackova, a female writer of Romany descent, was properly focused from the standpoint of her own identity as a female belonging to an ethnic minority and its impact on her literary activities.5)The present study proved that the salient features of the mentality of the German minority mainly settled in the particular province in Romania called Transylvanian Saxony ("Siebenburger Sachsen" in German) had been formed and developed under the strong influence of the circumstances of the period as well as their own historical background.6)Ethnic discord observed within the German-speaking minority in Bukovina province under Romanian occupation was taken up for discussion. The present research shed light up on the details of this discord between the group of German descent persisting in their genealogical identity and the group of Jewish descent stressing their cultural and linguistic identity.
