Erzählte Sprachlandschaften. Zur Einengung des öffentlichen Raumes in Zeitzeugeninterviews jüdischer Emigrat_innen nach Palästina

In numerous interviews of the so-called Israel corpora, which have been compiled in a sub-corpus, the speakers describe how they experience the progressive displacement from (semi-)public spaces, which is conveyed to them through the confrontation with anti-Semitic public signs or with the massive presence of National Socialist artefacts in public space. The linguistic-landscape research provides various parameters for the investigation of semiotic landscapes, which are to be linked with the instruments of narrative analysis in the present study in order to determine the spatial references and their function with regard to the organisation of the narrative process and the positioning of the self and others. To this end, interfaces between linguistic-landscape research, discourse analysis and narrative analysis are first identified. In the final, qualitative detailed analysis of an interview sequence from Anne Betten’s conversation with Abraham Goldberg, it will be examined if the approach developed in this study can lead to relevant results.
