Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox writer Dörte Hansen (also known as Dörte Hansen-Jaax, born 1964 in Husum, West Germany)[1] is a German linguist, journalist and writer.

Life

Hansen grew up in Högel in Nordfriesland;[2] her family spoke Low German at home. She learned her "first foreign language," Standard German, in elementary school.[3]

After graduating high school (Abitur) in 1984, she studied sociolinguistics, English studies, Romance studies and Frisian studies at the Christian Albrechts University Kiel. In 1994, Hansen received her doctorate at the University of Hamburg with a sociolinguistic thesis on a special form of bilingualism.[4]

Hansen is married to documentary filmmaker Шаблон:Ill and has a daughter. From 2005 to 2016, she lived with her family in Steinkirchen, Lower Saxony[5] and now lives in Husum.[6]

Work

After an internship at the magazine Merian she worked until 2008 as a journalist for several radio stations (NDR, WDR, SWR, hr, DLF) and various magazines,[7] until 2012 then as a permanent cultural editor at NDR Info.[3] Since then, she has worked as a freelance author.

In her first novel, Altes Land (2015), Hansen worked critically on the subject of homeland: many city dwellers discovered the countryside as a place of longing for themselves and moved to a village. In Hansen's opinion, however, they were subject to a mistake because they only played country life and made "peasant theater".[3] Hansen connects this topic with the fate of the female protagonist as a homeless postwar refugee from East Prussia in the Altes Land. The book was a bestseller and received praise from most critics.[8]

Her second novel Mittagsstunde (2018) explores German village life. The cultural and interpersonal change in the fictional North Frisian village "Brinkebüll" is portrayed from the 1960s to the present day.[9] The author tells the story without idealizing country life and draws in laconic language often bizarre characters with a lot of empathy.[10][11]
