from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aras Ören (born November 1, 1939 in Istanbul ) is a Turkish-born writer , journalist and actor living in Germany .

Life

Ören grew up as the son of a civil engineer whose family came from Crete and a mother who had grown up in a family of naval officers in the Istanbul district of Bebek . He attended the American Robert College and the State High School in Istanbul until he decided to become a writer and actor. Ören worked in these professions from 1959 to 1969 in Istanbul, interrupted by military service 1963-1965 and many stays in Germany, which u. a. had the goal of creating a theater company for immigrants. After moving to West Berlin in 1969, he joined the artist group “Rote Nelke”.

From 1974 Ören worked alongside his writing activities as an editor at Sender Freies Berlin (SFB, today RBB). He was a co-founder of the Turkish editorial team, which he headed from 1996. In the winter semester 1999 he took over the poetics lectureship at the University of Tübingen. He is a member of the PEN Center Germany .

In May 2012 Ören was appointed as a new member of the Academy of Arts in Berlin, whose election he accepted. Active membership presupposes that the artist actively participates in the tasks of the academy so that he will continue to be present in the academy in the future. In 2014 the archive of the Academy of Arts opened a Aras-Ören ​​archive for a scientific evaluation of the literary material .

In his literary works, Aras Ören repeatedly deals with the issues of foreignness, identity, speechlessness and the open to subtle degradation of women in a male culture and their possibility of rebellion. Ören tells of people "who arrive in a foreign country with nothing more than a plastic suitcase in hand". This makes him a writer whose themes are the great challenges of the 20th and 21st centuries: the migration of peoples in a global world. Here is a programmatic statement by the author: "A metropolis is not an ethnological museum."

Ören usually writes his novels and short stories in Turkish before they are translated for publication.

Aras Ören is one of the most famous writers of Turkish origin in Germany. He has received several prizes for his work: Theater Prize, Istanbul (1969), Promotion Prize of the Federal Association of German Industry in 1980, Award by the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts in 1983 and the Adelbert von Chamisso Prize in 1985 .

Private

Ören was actually born on November 1st, 1939, but due to an official mistake, November 30th was noted on his birth certificate and this has been on all of his official papers ever since - without Ören being able to change it. Therefore he now has "two" birthdays. He celebrates November 1st in private, while November 30th is now his official birthday.

Ören has a daughter from a relationship with actress Käte Jaenicke , former actress Anja Jaenicke , who was born in 1963 . Aras Ören lives in Berlin.
