YOKO TAWADA IS A WRITER «WITHOUT BORDERS»

This article focuses on Yoko Tawada, one of the most famous modern representatives of Japanese and German literature of the late XX – early XXI century. The uniqueness of the writer lies in the fact that, having left the space of her native language and adopted a new one, she strives to visualize the possibilities of both in her texts, which, in turn, was a prerequisite for literary bilingualism and the disclosure of another culture. It is for this reason that she is considered to be a hybrid writer who can produce texts that go beyond the national culture. For her, there is no border between East and West, because both the left and right sides of the horizon are equally native. According to her value coordinates, Yoko Tawada is a citizen of the world, so she can safely be called a writer «without borders».
