In the Sea of Diversity, Maintaining Balance: Transnationality and Identity in Terézia Mora's Auf dem Seil
Abstract
Based on the conceptual framework of transnationality and its literary representation, possibilities for identification processes offered in Terézia Mora's novel On the Rope (2019) are explored. Transnationality proves to be an expression of how we deal with heterogeneity and a guarantor of the complexity and performativity of every identity configuration. In terms of content and structure, liminality, hybridity, mobility and radical openness characterise the novel. However, there are also strategies for orientation and for a balance that are located in the human and that indicate a development, from radical individualism to an opening and acceptance of commonality.
