| Abstract: | As the title suggests, the study is aimed at discussing Joseph Roth’s Das falsche Gewicht. Die Geschichte eines Eichmeisters with respect to the motif of going native. Under the term of going native literature understands the fears of European people living in colonies, such as being absorbed by the life and culture of the colonized country, which would result in their own degeneration and contamination. This process is therefore seen as a sin against the law of delimiting the own civilized world from the foreign primitive culture. The text presents all elements that are specific to the motif of going native, yet Roth will systematically deconstruct the topos. |
