Ali Samadi Ahadi's Cinematic Comedy Salami Aleikum: Humor, Gender, and Muslims in Germany
2022
Overview
In Ali Samadi Ahadi's feature film Salami Aleikum (2009), the director negotiates transnational conflict through humor and stereotypes. Ahadi exaggerates and simultaneously negates the stereotypes of men and women, East and West Germans as well as Muslims, Iranians, Poles etc. in Germany. Through their grown children, an Iranian family from the West German city Cologne meets an East German family that lives in a smalltown village where stereotypes of Muslims rage. The inter-ethnic couple at the center of the movie forges an exceptional bond that overcomes lies and disappointments in order to succeed as a possible diverse role model for the current and future Germany. I argue that the movie uses humor and satire to engage with the ethnic, religious and cultural integration of Muslims into Germany to offer the audience a way to engage with the serious topic of a peaceful integration of Muslims that has been challenged in public debates for years. My article also investigates the underlying theme of a search for a safe \"Heimat\" within German borders in which the parents and children of both non-Western German families feel at home. Keywords: Comedy, Gender, Islam in Germany, Muslims in Germany, Stereotypes, GDR
