The Feodor Lynen Fellowship enables scientists from various disciplines to carry out research projects abroad. Malreddy, who conducts research into English-language literary and cultural studies, is being funded as part of the program on the basis of his research project “The Right to Unbelong: The Ethics and Aesthetics of Contemporary Migrant Literary Cultures”.<\/p>\n\n
He proposes understanding migration as a normative human condition – in contrast to current popular ideas. To this end, three strands of migrant literature since the turn of the millennium will be examined: (1) forced migration from post-conflict societies to the West, (2) internal displacement and economic migration in and from the Asian region, and (3) emerging fictions about climate migration.<\/p>\n\n
