    Im Gespr�ch mit Jose F.A. Oliver - 'viel-stimmig und meer-sprachig'.
    (Peter Lang, 2008) van Ryneveld, Hannelore
    Jos� Oliver is a multilingual poet of Andalusian descent who writes poetry in German. His first poetry was published in the mid-eighties and his writings were seen as part of migrant literature (also referred to in the seventies as guestworker literature). He has however moved beyond those boundaries and has written himself into (�eingeschrieben�) the German language and his poetry is characterised by a breaking- up (�auf-brechen�) of the language and thereby creating sound and word structures which strip away the common usage in an attempt to regain the original meanings of words.The interview with Jos� Oliver was conducted in February 2005 in Hausach in the Black Forest.

    Writing from the margins - and beyond
    (Association for the Study of Religion in Southern Africa, 2006) van Ryneveld, Hannelore
    In 1987 Jos� F. A. Oliver published his first poetry volume Auf-Bruch in Germany. His standing as a German-speaking poet from Spanish-Andalusian stock was linked to the Gastarbeiterliteratur, or migrant worker literature in Germany, a literature that writes from the margins of both the literary and economic world of the Federal Republic of Germany. Developments within Oliver's oeuvre over the past twenty years, how ever, indicate a movement away from the literary periphery into main-stream German literature. This article explores these dynamics, using Jos� F. A. Oliver's writings to illustrate this conjecture.
