On the relation between loss and new start in early novels on flight and expulsion
Get PDFThis article looks at early West German novels that depict flight and expulsion of Germans after World War II. It is already in the 1950s that German literature takes up on East German home loss; especially authors originating from the Eastern parts make flight and expulsion subject of their works. How then do those novels reflect the radical change – as a beginning, as an ending? What did 1945 mean to those Germans who had to flee their homes beyond Oder and Neisse? – The end of German culture in Eastern Europe? The final surrender of their homelands? And how could the expellees restart their life in the Western parts? The article interlaces these questions with the texts’ narrative time structures. Most of the novels focus on the process of flight and expulsion and skip the arrival and integration in the West. Thus, the novels attest the uncertainty inherent in the new beginning. The article argues that the authors do not narrate the ending of the transition because in the 1950s for them it has not ended yet. It investigates three representative novels: Engel, Menschen und Dämonen (1951) by Hanna Stephan, Die schlesische Barmherzigkeit (1950) by Ruth Hoffmann and Ein Abschied (1951) by Karl Borree.This article looks at early West German novels that depict flight and expulsion of Germans after World War II.

Breakout – Breakup – Breakthrough. Hans Werner Richter’s socio-political quests
Get PDFCommunication is not just an exchange of information, but also a construction of information. The constructed meaning depends on context. In this way, this text includes not only the existentialistontological but also the aspect of function. Familiarity with history and the past is nowadays not left just to professional historians, and their monopoly of historical knowledge is questioned, not least because alternative forms of recollections and historical thinking are available: there are various forms, from historic texts through literature and art to traditional rituals, which evoke different memories. The writer Hans Werner Richter was searching for a German „third way“, „democratic socialism“, giving form to structures of the German collective existence.Communication is not just an exchange of information, but also a construction of information.
