Interreligious Encounters in Multicultural Literature
(On the example of German-Turkish literature)
Summary
The newest German-Turkish literature plays the part of a kind of a
“distorting mirror” whose aim is expressing the anthropological and identity
traits of the German society that are in confrontation with the perception of
the representatives of the culture inspired by Islam. This literature fights
against the dichotomous point of view which says that Christian Europe is
the embodiment of progress, tolerance and enlightenment while the
Mohameddan partner represents fanatism, despotism and irrationalism. The
writers oppose Europe’s universalist constants with the following values:
seeking the essence of life and merging into the harmony of nature which
can be achieved only with love and religion. They and the characters of
their mostly autobiographical works try to popularize enlightening and
humane traditions of Islam, assist strengthening European Islam, against the
powerful current of fundamentalism. In their works Turkish-German
literacy authors emphasize the tolerant character of Turkish Sufism and
Alavitic, Bektash-dervishes’ mystic traditions, which, in their opinion,
should be comprehended and mastered not only by Turks, but by Germans
as well.
