Un Woyzeck sui fronti del Novecento. «Eiche und Angora» di Martin Walser
Martin Walser’s play Eiche und Angora (1962) deals with the persistence of totalitarianism-oriented mental structures after the Second World War and the collapse of the Nazi regime. Walser represents political history as strongly opposed to the private sphere of ordinary people. Adjustment to the post-war situation of the Bundesrepublik and continuity with the historical past are seen by Walser as equivalent forms of self-defense against the inhuman attitude of political power
“Ist es nicht ein finsterer Wald, in den wir gerieten?”. Waldgänge und Waldgänger in Maja Haderlaps Roman «Engel des Vergessens»
This essay examines the literary portrait of the forested Southern Carinthian border region as a place of Austrian Slowenian historical experience and cultural memory in Maja Haderlap’s novel Engel des Vergessens. The autobiographical and documentary novel published in 2011 asks what it means to live on in a landscape contaminated by historical violence. At issue here is the novel’s representation of individual and collective Austrian Slowenian history in its depiction of the narrator’s forest walks as a child and the Carinthian Slowenian partisans’ life in the woods

«Maria Antoniette» di Heinrich Heine: una «Historie» dalla «Matrazengruft»
This thematic and stylistic analysis of the poem Marie Antoinette by Heine, one of the Historien taken from the famous Romanzero (1851), seeks to highlight the eeriness of the ancien régime personified by the ghosts of the queen and her ladies in the Tuileries palace after the revolutions of 1830 and 1848. The politically disappointed poet blames the aristocracy for being still bound to the Etiquette and for preventing the necessary social reforms proposed by the prince. For Heine, the light of reason should exorcise the wandering ghosts of a disturbing past
«Tschuschen» und «Saujuden». Kultureller Identitätswandel in dem Roman «Zwischenstationen» von Vladimir Vertlib
In his writings, Vladimir Vertlib focuses on topics such as being a stranger in a foreign country. In particular, his novel Zwischenstationen shows how binary oppositions like the ownness and otherness, as well as prejudices, have an impact on the identity of individuals. Taking into account theories of space originating from the spatial turn, this essay investigates the ways in which the protagonists of the novel change their identity. It will be argued that binary oppositions are always constructs which have to be critically examined

Il mito della “Rauchseele” in «Eli. Ein Mysterienspiel vom Leiden Israels» di Nelly Sachs
This essay investigates the poetic strategies that Nelly Sachs introduces into her lyrical drama Eli in order to solve the problem of the ethical limitations of Holocaust literary representation in the post-Auschwitz world. Sachs rejects Adorno’s famous dictum and voices the “unspeakable” and the “unthinkable” through Romantic themes and the Jewish tradition. The shift from “visible” to “invisible” allows her to elaborate the Holocaust, to preserve collective memory, to confirm the destiny of the Jewish people, and to legitimate the role of literature after Auschwitz as a fusion of word and myth, functional to analyzing reality on a critical level
