Wie arbeitet Literatur Migrationserfahrungen auf? In einer neuen Folge des Wissenschafts-Podcasts "HörSaal" gibt Christina Bäck Beispiele

Eines Tages aufbrechen, alles hinter sich lassen und sich irgendwo ein neues Zuhause aufbauen: Was bedeutet das? Wie trifft man diese schwerwiegende Entscheidung? Wie erleben Migrant:innen den Wechsel zwischen Ländern, Sprachen und Kulturen? Und wie spiegeln sich diese Erfahrungen in der Literatur wider?

Mit diesen Fragen beschäftigt sich Christina Bäck. Die Literaturwissenschafterin erhielt – ex aequo mit Marco Jandl – den ersten Preis für die beste Masterarbeit des Jahres 2022, den die Geisteswissenschaftliche Fakultät seit zwei Jahren vergibt. In ihrer Abschlussarbeit „Erinnerungskulturen innerhalb der italophonen Migrationsliteratur“ widmet sie sich zwei Autorinnen, die Migrationserfahrungen in Kurzgeschichten und Romanen verarbeitet haben.

Igiaba Scego (*1974) und Shirin Ramzanali Fazel (*1953) sind italienische Autorinnen mit somalischen Wurzeln, die unterschiedliche Perspektiven auf ihre Migration bzw. jene ihre Eltern werfen. Mit welchen Mitteln diese Aufarbeitung stattfindet und was individuelle sowie kollektive Erinnerungen prägt, das berichtet Christina Bäck in ihrer Arbeit, die Ende November auch im Uni-Verlag erscheinen wird. In der aktuellen Folge des Wissenschaftspodcasts "HörSaal: 15 Minuten Forschung" unterstreicht die Autorin auch, dass die Aufarbeitung von Migration durch die Geisteswissenschaften besonders wichtig ist, um sich die Empathie gegenüber Menschen, die alles Vertraute hinter sich lassen, zu bewahren.

Cosmetics in the environment: University of Graz proves danger to ants

Titanium dioxide, which is found in cosmetics, for example, is increasingly entering the environment in the form of nanoparticles. This could also put insects at risk. If ants ingest the substance in combination with the pesticide glyphosate, it disturbs the development of their offspring.

How are tech companies changing democracy? Uni Graz designs exhibition for schools

Filtered information, conspiracy theories, fake news – certain groups and corporations are using social media and algorithms to try to influence public opinion in their favour. Their goal: to weaken fundamental rights and diversity of opinion and seize power. In a new exhibition, researchers at the University of Graz are working with pupils to explore the impact of social media and AI on democracy. In accompanying workshops, the scientists want to encourage young people to develop their own ideas for a socially and ecologically viable future and to actively help shape it. The exhibition, designed as a travelling exhibition for schools, will open on 9 March 2026 at the Dreihackengasse Gymnasium in Graz.
