Več kot 90% vseh priseljenskih pisateljev v Sloveniji v okviru sodobne slovenske kulture sodi v kategorijo ne-elitnih oz. neuveljavljenih, kar pomeni, da z redkimi izjemami objavlja pri malo znanih ...in večinoma neuveljavljenih slovenskih literarnih revijah in založbah, pogosto tudi v samozaložbah ali pri založbah etničnih skupnostih. Središče ne-elitne književnosti priseljencev predstavlja revija za vprašanja kulture pripadnikov drugih narodov, ki živijo v Sloveniji - Paralele, ki je namenjena objavljanju literarnih prispevkov v materinih jezikih kot tudi literarni festival Sosed tvojega brega, oba v organizaciji JSKD-a. V prispevku je obravnavana poetika književnih besedil (poezija, proza, esejistika, dramatika, kritiške ocene) ne-elitnih priseljenskih pisateljev, objavljenih v reviji Paralele. Poudarek je na njihovih motivno-tematskih in literarno-estetskih značilnosti, med katerimi so najpomembnejši motivi domotožja, hrepenenja, življenja v tujem okolju, vprašanje identitete, jezika in tudi splošne življenjske in literarne teme. Za vse avtorje je značilno, da pišejo v svojih materinih jezikih, jezik pa je še vedno najpomembnejša slovenska ideološka in kulturna meja, zaradi katere ne morejo postati del slovenske nacionalne književnosti in kulture. Četudi je namen Paralel in festivala Sosed tvojega brega spodbujati kulturno izmenjavo, prestopanje kulturnih meja in s tem promocijo književnosti, ki se piše v drugih jezikih v okviru slovenske kulture, je dejstvo, da je krog bralcev ne-elitne književnosti priseljencev zožen na občinstvo istih in (morebiti) drugih etničnih struktur, z minimalno udeležbo slovenskega. Za izboljšanje položaja priseljenskih pisateljev v Sloveniji je nujna (strokovna, stanovska in medijska) problematizacija položaja književnosti priseljenskih pisateljev (elitnih in ne-elitnih), določanje jasne meje med asimilacijo in integracijo književnosti priseljencev v slovensko nacionalno književnost, programi za integracijo različnojezikovnih pišočih avtorjev, spodbujanje prevajanja njihovih del v slovenski jezik, dejansko izvajanje multikulturne politike slovenskih kulturnih institucij, odpiranje velikih in ne samo majhnih vrat slovenske kulture, da bi v njej našli svoje mesto vsi, ki živijo in ustvarjajo v Sloveniji, ne glede na njihovo nacionalno in jezikovno pripadnost.
In the Karl Liebknecht House in Leipzig, Germany, thirty people of various nationalities are seated around an improvised table on the stage in the Events Hall, interpreters behind them, some with ...texts in front of them, some without, and while it looks as if they're at an ordinary meeting, they are, in fact, at an exceptional one, one that could be called a performance. They are taking part in a pilot project organized by the Society of Admirers of Karl Liebknecht of Leipzig, which, on January 19, 2018, in recognition of the ninety-ninth anniversary of the death of Karl Liebknecht—the great German leftist and colleague of Rosa Luxemburg—had invited them, all migrants who, prior to their emigration, had lived at an address either bearing his name or having some other connection with him. Some had changed addresses temporarily, others had moved away forever, some wanted to leave, some never completely left, and yet others were connected in some particular way with places named “Karl Liebknecht.” The call was announced publicly, and it generated a great deal of interest, but in the end, thirty people were selected. The hall is completely packed—residents of Leipzig, most others somehow connected with Karl Liebknecht, of whom a majority were also members of the Society of Admirers of Karl Liebknecht—all showing great interest in the event.
After a short speech by a representative of the Society of Admirers of Karl Liebknecht, people were given the opportunity either to speak freely or to read from a prepared text, each in his or her own way, in whatever manner they wished and considered appropriate, about how their Karl Liebknecht address had left its mark on them, both while they were living there and afterward.
