Transmedia bordercrossing – Lars Kraume’s media puzzle “Keine Lieder über Liebe”
Get PDFThe essay thematises Lars Kraume`s multimedia experiment “Keine Lieder über Liebe” produced in 2005 starring Heike Makatsch, Jürgen Vogel and Florian Lukas. The story was developed in songs written by the fictive “Hansen Band”, in a film without a script and in a retrospective diary from one of the main characters and revolves around the question “How well do you know the people you are living with?”. The single media representations and their complex interaction can be seen as a challenge for intermedia theory and will be systematically explored in the following sections. After a short overview of the background of emergence, the analysis focuses on narrative structures and coherences of songs, film and book, on the dynamic of characters and plots and on the blurred boundaries between fiction and reality. Thereby it is interesting, in which way the eponymic negation of a medialization of love and the cross-media game of deception complement each other.The essay thematises Lars Kraume`s multimedia experiment “Keine Lieder über Liebe” produced in 2005 starring Heike Makatsch, Jürgen Vogel and Florian Lukas.

Get PDF“Like a Flaming Myth”. The catastrophe of the ‘German East’ in selected German novels of the 1950s
Get PDFThe article presents variants of the story of the final phase of World War II in the eastern provinces of the Third Reich exemplified in the novels Wenn die Dämme brechen... by Edwin Erich Dwinger (1950), Engel, Menschen und Dämonen by Hanna Stephan (1951), Jenseits der Schleuse by Werner Klose (1953), and Feuer im Schnee by Jens Rehn (1956). The basis of the discussion are works outside the contemporary canon of literature devoted to World War II depicting forced evacuation of German civilian population and the retreat of Wehrmacht forces in the face of an offensive by the Red Army. The analysis shows the diversity in which the catastrophe of the “German East” was handled in works of fiction of the 1950s. Thus, the article disputes the theses of the German researcher Louis Ferdinand Helbig concerning the subject of “exodus and dislocation” in German writing. Helbig differentiates three successive phases of literary development devoted to the German exodus from central and eastern Europe and ties them to the predominance of specific genres (documentaries, quasi-documentaries, memoirs, and fiction). The present article, on the other hand, shows the diversity of narrative techniques in the period which Helbig considers as the realm of witness literature. The article examines different ways of discerning purpose in Germany’s defeat and the suffering of the civilian population: heroic and military (Dwinger, Klose), mythical-demonic and religious (Stephan), as well as existential (Klose). Contrasted with such interpretations is a novel which rejects attempts to aggrandize tragic events by invoking ideology, metaphysics, or literary tradition (Rehn).
