Ivna Žic
Wahrscheinliche Herkünfte

Ivna Žic opens up a multi-directional space for remembrance in her poetological essays. In doing so, she fulfils the need of post-migrant writing to cross borders and consider alliances: between interpenetrating generations and languages, but also between what is your own and what is foreign within you. Wahrscheinliche Herkünfte (Probable Origins) thereby takes a perspective beyond unproductive binaries that can be overcome in the reality of a society of many.
