Summary/Abstract: From the point of view of sociological field theory multilingualism, intercultural background and strangeness are social and cultural forms of capital which could also become part of symbolic capital. In the paper four Austrian writers (Anna Kim, Milena Michiko Flašar, Doron Rabinovici and Michael Stavarič) are examined in view of the attributed/declared intercultural character of their work as well as their positions in the field. In the conclusion a question is raised whether their stigmatization as ‘strangers’ could bring benefits for their positions and whether the expected normalization of intercultural literature is desired in every respect.
