Özet
Menschen dar und visualisiert dabei gleichzeitig die aus den sozialen Engpässen bzw. der gesellschaftlichen Konventionalität resultierende Desintegrität sowie Krisensituation des modernen Subjekts unserer Gegenwart. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Untersuchung besteht darin, die Konzeptualisierung der Titelfigur sowohl hinsichtlich der Subjektkonstitution als auch aus interkultureller Perspektive ins Auge zu fassen. Erstens wird es vor dem Hintergrund der subjekttheoretischen Zugänge von Stuart Hall und Judith Butler darum gehen, die anhand der Titelfigur zum Tragen gebrachte ‚Krise des Subjekts‘ sowie die damit unmittelbar gekoppelte kritische Position der Protagonistin in den Blick zu nehmen, welche vorzüglich auf konventionelle Diskurse und Haltungen gerichtet ist. Denn Isabel zeichnet sich in Anbetracht des signifikanten Ekels, den sie dem Grundsätzlichen gegenüber empfindet, in erster Linie durch einen neuen Selbstentwurf aus und nimmt folglich eine dezidierte Distanzhaltung zu jeglicher Konventionalität ein und isoliert sich somit auch von der Gesellschaft. Aus der Position des unterworfenen und nicht „anerkannbaren“ Subjekts (Butler, 2008, S. 15) tritt sie allerdings insofern heraus, als sie kraft ihrer reflektierten Haltung wie auch ihrer sprachlichen Äußerungen die Bewertungsmechanismen der Gesellschaft in ihr Gegenteil umkehrt, d.h. eine „subversive Resignifikation“ (Butler, 2008, S. 246) vollzieht und auf diese Weise einen Raum für eine selbstgesetzte Subjektivität herstellt. Dieser mit der Titelfigur unmittelbar verknüpfte Neubewertungsprozess zeigt sich ebenso auf einer weiteren Ebene, die aus interkultureller Sicht betrachtet werden kann. So soll in diesem Zusammenhang im zweiten Schritt gezeigt werden, wie der Roman mittels dieser subversiven Titelfigur das ethnisierte sowie kulturalisierte weibliche Subjekt unterläuft und neu kodiert. Die im deutschen Kontext mit der türkischen Kultur in Verbindung gebrachten Wahrnehmungsschablonen werden daher ebenfalls einem kritischen Neubewertungsprozess unterzogen.
Feridun Zaimoglu’s novel Isabel presents life and border situations from the 21st century life in Berlin. It further visualizes the theme of non-integrity as well as the crisis of the modern subject of the present, which results from social problems and social conventionality. the aim of this article is to focus on the conceptualization of the title character, and the protagonist as well, through the constitution of the subject from an intercultural perspective. By introducing and employing the theoretical approach of Stuart Hall and Judith Butler, specifically on the notion of “subject”, I will first analyze the ‘crisis of the subject’ which the title character is engaged with. I will further examine the critical positioning of the female protagonist, that reveals itself particularly in the conventional discourse and attitude she is subject to. in view of her exclusive disgust against the fundamental issues in life, the protagonist is primarily characterized by a new concept of self. Therefore, she takes a firmly distant attitude toward any kind of conventionality, and thus isolates herself from society. However, she rescues herself from the position of the subjected and non-“recognizable” (Butler, 2008, p. 15) individual as she reverses the dynamics of society through her critical attitude and linguistic statements. This means the title figure performs a “subversive resignification” (Butler, 2008, p. 246), and through this, creates a space for her selfdefined subjectivity. This process of revaluation, which is directly linked to the title character, can also be observed from an intercultural perspective. in this sense, I will proceed to explain how the novel undermines and recodes the ethnicized and culturalized female subject through the subversive title character. in this context, moreover, the novel leads to the critical reconsidering of perception patterns related to Turkish culture.
