Migration und Familie im Werk von Anna Kim
Migration and family in the works of Anna Kim

Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the relations between migration and the development of family structures as presented in the works of the Austrian author Anna Kim. The starting point of the reflections is the definition of the concepts of ‘family’ and ‘intercultural family’ along with an indication of the specificity of potential conflicts affecting families with emigrant experience. Literary images of family constellations are subsequently presented against this background. The article addresses three main questions: What are the migration histories and family constellations created by the author? What are the characteristic features of the projects of identity and patterns of migrant integration? What role does family memory play in the context of migration?
