Juli Zeh

This article on Juli Zeh examines the extend to which the notion of “transnational” can be an adequate interpretive tool for authors who do not have a migrant background. Juli Zeh‘s position in the public sphere and in the literary field, which is largely determined by her identity as a politically committed author and jurist, places her at the center of a transnational dynamic. Several of her fictions and essays are informed by recurring motifs and themes arising from her concerns about the digital revolution, her awareness of supranational dynamics in the wake of the European construction, and her involvement in protecting our Civil Rights which are threatened by the production of mass data and their use in the Global War on Terror. This analysis of a selection of her novels and essays allows us to highlight some characteristics of a German transnationalism
