Beschreibung:
This essay draws attention to the material and the symbolic import of a passport: as a legal document that defines a human being’s political subjec-tivity, especially in the context of migration and naturalization of citizenship, and as a narrative of overlapping intersectional identities determined by the status of the nation in larger world politics. In both these forms (material and symbolic) this essay argues that a passport shapes and informs the contours of a human being’s home, belonging, and cultural citizenship. Passport narratives in literature serve as an apt site for investigations of aesthetic and political forms. To this end, the essay provides a discussion of short prose written by the Turkish-German author Emine Sevgi Özdamar.
