Abstract
Anfang der 1990er-Jahre kam eine beachtliche Anzahl junger Schriftsteller mit Migrationshintergrund zum Vorschein, die in der multikulturellen Schweiz entweder auf Deutsch oder Französisch mit literarischem Schreiben begannen. Eine besondere Stellung nimmt unter ihnen Franco Supino (geb. 1965) ein, der mit seinem Debütwerk Musica Leggera (1995) einen neuen Trend in der deutschsprachigen Schweizer Literatur bestätigte. Die neue Tendenz besteht in der literarischen Schilderung der kulturellen und ethno-nationalen Identitätsproblematik sowohl der Migrantengeneration als auch deren bereits in der Schweiz geborener Kinder. In dem Beitrag wird am Beispiel des Werkes von Franco Supino die literarische Darstellung der Zugehörigkeitsgefühle und der identitätsstiftenden Erinnerungen an vergangene Momente besprochen, wie sie sich zwischen der ersten und der zweiten Generation der in der Schweiz lebenden Zugewanderten gestalten, wobei der Schwerpunkt der Analyse auf die Vertreter Abstract In the period from the beginning of the 1990s, a significant number of young writers with a migration background became apparent who began to write either in German or in French in multicul-tural Switzerland. Among them, a special position was occupied by Franco Supino (born 1965), who, with the novel Musica Leggera (1995), confirmed a new trend in the German-language Swiss litera-ture, consisting in the literary presentation of the motif of the blurred cultural and national identity among the migrant generation or their children who were already born in Switzerland. Based on the example of the mentioned novel by Franco Supino, the literary interpretation of the motif of identity-forming memories is discussed, as well as cultural belonging, which are expressed dif-ferently by the first and the second migrant generation. The paper analyzes the second generation of migrants, often referred to as ‘Secondos’, who develop their identity between the Italian culture traditionally nurtured by their parents and the modern Swiss culture of the 1980s.
