| Riassunto: | This article deals with a comparative literary study focusing on feminine literature of immigration. This category, to this day unrecognized, provides a fertile field of exploration and gets submitted to the following two central questions: How are the concepts of identity quest, uprooting, in-betweenness, and Heimat handled in the respective works? And how are the so-called feminine concepts such as maternity and marriage, as well as the view of the patriarchal society and the subject-object relationship between men and women treated? These key questions, which are bound to more specific ones, will help to investigate and pin down how these concepts are handled in the literary works of the corpus of the thesis and thereby help define the feminine literature of immigration. The following article presents one of the very first elements of the literary analysis of the study. It therefore features one of the key notions to the research: Heimat. As the subtitle of the article suggests, the reader is invited on a search of this concept in two novels that are part of the study’s corpus. These are Vrouwland by Rachida Lamrabet and De verstotene by Naima El Bezaz. |
