Description
Summary:Abstract The article discusses the neo-romantic vision of Iceland in Judith Hermann’s travel story „Kaltblau“ (2003) and the essayistic portrait of postcolonial Greenland in Anna Kim’s travelogue „Invasionen des Privaten“ (2011). It compares the postmodern version of the Icelandic sublime with the sublime experience of Greenland’s ice sheet and juxtaposes the therapeutic aspects of contemporary nature tourism in Hermann’s story with the critical focus on questions of cultural identity in Kim’s essay.
