Till Kadritzke – 2025
The concept of post-migration along with its potential and limitations is presently under heated debate. The chapter addresses the notion of post-migrant spaces while also incorporating the perspective of relational differences. Drawing on two examples from the West German audiovisual archive of migration dating from long before the current discussion, Kadritzke demonstrates that the TV production Frau Kutzer und andere Bewohner der Naunynstraße (1973) and the short film Inventur Metzstraße 11 (1975) enact, perhaps more so than prominent contemporary productions such as Fassbinder’s Ali: Fear Eats the Soul or Helma Sanders-Brahms’ Shirin’s Wedding, a highly complex negotiation of migration and German identity.
