Can the philosophical concept of ethno-poetics, as developed in Michel Foucault's “écriture de soi,” be made fruitful for literary analyses? In the ancient concept of “cura sui”, personal care for oneself, is immediately meant to be also an orientation in political discourse; Foucault's notion does not imply this. Furthermore, Foucault's concept of self-writing cannot be applied to Hans Henny Jahnn's and Heiner Müller's inter-culturally oriented versions of Medea, which are grounded in the coherence of a discourse of alterity that incorporates ruptures and discontinuities in the ethno-poetic process of its constitution. This feature is constitutive also of Hubert Fichte's texts, which cultivate, like those of Jahnn and Müller, a trans-personal code of ethno-aesthetics. The foreign can neither be reconstructed ideologically, nor be rehabilitated ethno-poetically. Fichte's provocative travel reports and sub-cultural documents systematically and programmatically resist the hermeneutic mediation of what is foreign. These texts plead, instead, for an ethno-aesthetic “wording of the world” (Weltverwörterung): writing opens a horizon of discourse, not one of understanding.
