Abstract A Turkish artist living in Germany, Kadir “Amigo” Memiş is known for choreographies that combine street dance or breaking with traditional dances of Turkey. His story in Germany began with social integration problems and the trauma of losing his brother, but it continued with his adaptation to the diaspora through the medium of dance. Using thematic analysis to construct a life story based on Memiş’s self-narratives, I aim to demonstrate how the artist’s engagement with hip-hop culture in the diaspora helped him overcome his troubles and construct a new, artist’s identity.

“舞蹈救了我的命”：卡迪尔·梅米什 (Kadir Memiş) 的人生故事和通过舞蹈对身份的（重新）框架

摘要 Kadir “Amigo” Memiş 是一位居住在德国的土耳其艺术家，以将街舞或霹雳舞与土耳其传统舞蹈相结合的编舞而闻名。他在德国的故事始于社会融合问题和失去兄弟的创伤，但随着他通过舞蹈媒介适应散居国外的生活而继续。使用主题分析来构建基于 Memiş 的自述的人生故事，我的目标是展示这位艺术家如何融入散居海外的嘻哈文化，帮助他克服困难并构建一个新的艺术家身份。
