Abstract
This paper focuses on the visual lack of the Muslim minority in the contemporary German urban landscape. Through the reinterpreting of Gérard Genette’s literary method of paratexts, I have analyzed architecture as the main text, while the media’s response is the epitext from which this study analyzes the visibility of the minority in the physical space and the mediated space of Germany. This approach uses a critical cultural lens of analysis.
