Abstract

Through its works, literature reflects the traces of the culture to which they belong and have been nominated to direct society. That is why, literary works show the historical, social, and economic side, and the knowledge about the background of era. Migration experiences add a new literary genre to literary types, such as ‘the migrant literature’. Although migrant literature preserves other political and historical backgrounds, similar images and problems of its own and the foreign ones arise in the context. The number of female writers in this genre of literature is quite low but Emine Sevgi Özdamar is one of the well-known worldwide authors. Özdamar's achievement can be observed in the fact that she directly translates words, sayings and idiomatic expressions from her mother tongue into German. Her narrative process is characterized by intercultural references to German and Turkish culture. For these reasons, this study intends to analyze the perspectives and images of women, and various female roles in German and Turkish societies mentioned in the novel ‘The Bridge of the Golden Horn’ by Emine Sevgi Özdamar. Within the scope of this study, it is aimed to demonstrate how the images of women were used to be in Germany and Turkey between the years of 1966-1975; whether there were differences in between two cultures, and how the historical and social situation were presented from a woman writer's point of view.

Özet

Die Literatur spiegelt in Werken die Spuren der Kultur, der sie zugehört, wider und ist beauftragt der Gesellschaft Richtung zu geben. Deshalb zeigen literarische Werke die geschichtliche, soziale, wirtschaftliche Seite und Kenntnisse vor dem Hintergrund ihrer Zeit. Durch Migrationserfahrungen wird literarischen Genres ein neues literarisches Genre hinzugefügt, nämlich ‚die Migrantenliteratur‘. Obwohl die Migrantenliteratur andere politisch-historische Hintergründe in sich trägt, kommt es in ihrem Kontext zu ähnlichen Bildern und Problemstellungen des Eigenen und des Fremden. Die Zahl der Schriftstellerinnen in diesem Genre der Literatur ist gering, aber Emin Sevgi Özdamar ist eine weltweit berühmte Schriftstellerin. Özdamars Erfolg ist darin zu sehen, dass sie Wörter, Sprüche und Redewendungen aus ihrer Muttersprache unmittelbar ins Deutsche überträgt. Das Erzählverfahren von Özdamar ist von interkulturellen Bezügen hinsichtlich der deutschen und der türkischen Kultur geprägt. Genau aus diesen Gründen sollen in der vorliegenden Studie die Sichtweise von Frauen, Frauenbildern, verschiedenen weiblichen Rollen in der deutschen und türkischen Gesellschaft im Roman ‚Die Brücke vom goldenen Horn‘ von Emine Sevgi Özdamar, einer weltweit bekannten Autorin, analysiert werden. Es wird beabsichtigt, aus dem Blickwinkel einer Schriftstellerin aufzuzeigen, wie sich die Frauenbilder in den Jahren 1966-1975 in Deutschland und in der Türkei darstellten, ob es Unterschiede zwischen den zwei Kulturen gab und vor welchem geschichtlichen und sozialen Hintergrund die Frau, die im Mittelpunkt steht, lebte.
