The paper provides an analysis of the contingency of language signs (like homeland, descent, native language, identity) which is a function of the experience of flight, exile, and live in the globalized and electronic media-dominated world. The central role in the novel is played by the relation between death and literary language and its communicative and perception function.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Zur Kontingenz der (Sprach)Zeichen als Folge von Flucht und Exil in Senthuran Varatharajahs "Vor der Zunahme der Zeichen" (2016)}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/114285/PDF/KN%204-19%202%20RUTKA.pdf}, doi={10.24425/kn.2019.130860}, keywords={Senthuran Varatharajah, contemporary German novel, refuge, exile, contingency of language signs}, }
