Abstract Ein wichtiger Aspekt der modernen Gesellschaft ist die Suche nach dem, was Identität ist. Die individuelle Identität wird durch zahlreiche Faktoren geprägt und geformt. Ein wichtiger Faktor dabei ist die Sprache. In welchem Maße beeinflusst sie unsere Identität? Welche anderen Elemente, die die Identität eines Individuums prägen, werden durch die Sprache sichtbar, gefestigt, geformt, ausgedrückt? Wie sieht dieser Prozess bei Menschen aus, die mehrsprachig sind? Diese Diplomarbeit analysiert diese Fragen aus literarischer Sicht am Beispiel des Romans Herkunft. Dieser Roman mischt durch die Hauptfigur zwei Sprachen auf zahlreiche Weisen – durch Zitate, fremde Namen, aber auch detaillierte Beschreibungen, Szenen und Erinnerungen. Demzufolge geht auch die Analyse tiefer und befasst sich mit den Elementen, die diese „fremden“ Begriffe darstellen: Familie, Orte, Zugehörigkeit, Wurzeln, usw. Durch diese Analyse wird indirekt auch gefragt, was für sie ein Individuum, eine Familie, sogar eine ganze Gesellschaft bedeuten kann, und warum man überhaupt nach seiner Herkunft suchen sollte. Demzufolge begibt sich der Leser durch die Analyse zahlreicher Elemente, die in diesem Roman die Herkunft darstellen, auf die Suche nach seiner individuellen Antwort auf die Frage, was Herkunft überhaupt ist und was sie für ihn bedeutet.
Abstract (croatian) Traganje za identitetom ključan je aspekt modernog društva. Brojni su faktori koji obilježavaju i formiraju individualni identitet, a jedan od značajnih je jezik. Do koje mjere jezik utječe na naš identitet? Koji su drugi elementi, koji imaju utjecaj na identitet pojedinca i postaju vidljivi, izraženi, formirani kroz jezik? Kako ovaj proces izgleda kod višejezičnih govornika? Ovaj diplomski rad analizira navedena pitanja iz književne perspektive koristeći roman Herkunft kao svoj korpus. Spomenuti roman kroz glavni lik isprepleće na brojne načine dva različita jezika, npr. kroz uporabu citata, stranih imena, detaljnih opisa, scena i uspomena. Sukladno tome analiza je također dubinska i fokusira se na elemente koje strani pojmovi u tekstu predstavljaju: obitelj, mjesta, pripadnost, korijene, itd. Kroz provođenje analize nameće se indirektno pitanje: što za samog čitatelja znače pojmovi poput individualca, obitelji, društva, i zašto bi se uopće trebalo tragati za identitetom? Dakle, čitatelja analiza brojnih elemenata koji predstavljaju na različite načine porijeklo navodi da krene na vlastitu potragu za svojim odgovorom na pitanje što je uopće porijeklo te što ono njemu predstavlja.
Abstract (english) One could say that the search of identity is an important aspect part of modern society. The individual identity is marked and formed by numerous factors, one of its significant ones being language. To which extent does language have an impact on our identity? What are other elements that influence our identity that are visible, formed, expressed and fixed through language? How does that process look like when it comes to multilingual speakers? This master's thesis analyses the above mentioned from a literary perspective by using the novel Origins as its corpus. This novel intertwines two different languages by using various techniques, such as inserting quotes, foreign names, providing detailed descriptions, scenes and memory episodes. As a result of this, the analysis also goes deeper than just focusing on words. It includes the analysis of the elements that the „foreign“ words present in the text: family, places, belonging, origins, etc. By providing such an analysis, the following question indirectly imposes itself: what do terms such as an individuality, family, society mean to you, and why should one even search for his origins? The reader is motivated through the analysis of numerous elements that present origins in this novel to search for his own answer to the question of what origins are and what this term means for him personally.
