Research
My research interests are in contemporary German-language literature, literature and memory studies, German linguistics and didactics of German language. In this project I examine how German-language literature by transcultural authors contribute to depicting and interpreting their memories of the communist authoritarian past beyond national literatures and cultures. Furthermore, on the basis of exemplary case studies I analyze how the memory of the GDR is presented in contemporary German literature.
Aigi joined the project in September 2021. More information as well as the most important publications can be found at: https://www.etis.ee/CV/Aigi_Heero/est?tabId=CV_ENG.
