Precarity of Trust in Contemporary Refugee Life Narratives Rupp, Jan text txt rdacontent Computermedien c rdamedia Online-Ressource cr rdacarrier Emerging from a growing number of conflicts and catastrophes in the twenty-first century, contemporary refugee life narratives are marked by a multiple erosion of trust, and yet are intimately engaged in rebuilding trust. In the face of material and legal constraints for refugees to speak, their life stories are frequently facilitated by new networks of solidarity to protest hostile immigration regimes, involving activists, lawyers, go-between writers, and translators, among others. These networks offer a safe space for testimony and work towards restoring trust while mutually inscribing biographers and biographical subjects in a relational act of telling y(our) story: The refugee’s tale – ‘your’ story – encapsulates the collaborative and trust-building tale of its making – ‘our’ story. Outlining a narratology of trust in refugee life-writing, the paper assesses the intricate and innovative dynamics of ‘hospitable form’ in acts of fictional accommodation, in multiperspectival emic and etic narratives, and in the interplay of auto- and heterobiographical storytelling. article Fakultät für Geistes- und Kulturwissenschaften DIEGESIS Jg. 12 (2023) H. 1 host institution his 12:1<68 Fakultät für Geistes- und Kulturwissenschaften, DIEGESIS Diegesis 2195-2116 duepublico_mods_00000079 https://elpub.bib.uni-wuppertal.de/receive/duepublico_mods_00000740 object in context https://elpub.bib.uni-wuppertal.de/servlets/MCRFileNodeServlet/duepublico_derivate_00001008/dej23120105.pdf raw object https://elpub.bib.uni-wuppertal.de/rsc/thumbnail/duepublico_mods_00000740.png preview https://elpub.bib.uni-wuppertal.de/receive/duepublico_mods_00000740 uri
