Abstract

This paper entitled is devoted to the peripheral nature of Herta Müller’soeuvre. Müller is regarded as a person who created “German-language literature from thecultural periphery of the German linguistic area,” as the Italian Germanist Paola Bozzicalled it. It turns out that although the literature or anti-literature of the Germans ofRomania is located on the cultural periphery of the German language area, Herta Müller occupies a central place in German literature, mainly due to subject areas unknown to West-German readers, but also due to her extraordinary language, which is a conglomerate of her idiolect, the archaic character of the German language used, the Banat-Swabian dialect and word-images from the Romanian language. The research, which is carried out from a mental, expressive, and cultural perspective, also focuses on the issue of embedding translation in a polysystem that embraces translation as an interrelated system of culture, language, literature, and society.
