“Ist es nicht ein finsterer Wald, in den wir gerieten?”. Waldgänge und Waldgänger in Maja Haderlaps Roman «Engel des Vergessens»
No full textThis 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
Motive und Motivationen als Grundlage menschlichen Verhaltens – Überlegungen zu einer integrativen Motivationstheorie
No full textDie Untersuchungen der Autorin zur Motivation führen zu dem Schluss, dass Grundmotive im Menschen genetisch angelegt sind. Diese sind implizit in seinem Menschen- und Weltbild vorhanden und werden in situativen Motivationsprozessen aktualisiert. Das Motiv der Hilfeleistung, das in therapeutischen oder beraterischen Prozessen beim Therapeuten aktiviert ist, findet ein Gegenüber im Motiv der Suche nach Hilfe beim Klienten. Beide Seiten folgen einem, von der Autorin dargestellten intersubjektiven Motivationsprozess.The author’s research focuses on the origin and development of motives and moti¬vation with special emphasis on the motive of helpfulness in therapy or consulting. Helpfulness is an essential of the human character. It determines our concepts of the world and of mankind. From an integrative point of view the author discusses the origins of motives in man and develops a structural model of the process of motivation and behaviour of both, client and therapist.https://www.fpi-publikation.de/polyloge/13-2012-jaekel-brigitte-motive-und-motivationen-als-grundlage-menschlichen-verhaltens/peerReviewedpublishedVersio
Moments of Rupture: Narratological Readings of Contemporary German Literature
No full textThesis (Ph.D.)--University of Washington, 2016-08“Moments of Rupture: Narratological Readings of Contemporary German Literature” explores the representation of disruptive moments in contemporary German novels using a narratological framework of analysis. Joining the larger conversation on narrative practices in contemporary German literature, the dissertation focuses on key questions of literary form, narration and storytelling in four major novels published at the beginning of the twenty-first century: Christoph Ransmayr’s Der fliegende Berg (2006), Wolfgang Herrndorf’s Sand (2011), Lutz Seiler’s Kruso (2014) and Saša Stanišić’s Vor dem Fest (2014). The project investigates the use of narrative elements to relate, mend and overcome moments of personal, hermeneutical, political and social rupture. By drawing on influential works of narratology, from Aristotle’s early narratology to pertinent contemporary theories (e.g. Bakhtin, Brooks, Fludernik, Genette, Phelan), my study shows how narratives shape and are in turn shaped by the ruptures they describe. Chapters are organized around key narrative categories, which serve to explore one literary text. The opening chapter discusses the significance of time and space in Der fliegende Berg. It shows how a moment of personal rupture is reflected in the transitions between physical, virtual and mythological times and spaces, and in the encounters that characterize them. Chapter two investigates the plotting of Sand. It examines the tension between (re)cognition and mistakes, between understanding and utter bafflement both on the level of diegesis and of reading. Chapter three examines the characters in Kruso. It shows how the relationship between the main figures translates into a political allegory, which stands for the failure of a utopian project and the fall of the Berlin Wall. The final chapter explores the features of the plural voice in Vor dem Fest and its role in preserving a post-socialist community affected by slow decline and the death of its storyteller
Writing Across Margins: Contemporary Afro-German Literature
No full textThesis (Ph.D.)--University of Washington, 2019My dissertation argues that Afro-German literature—a new strand in contemporary German literature since the late 1980s—functions as aesthetic activism by creating collective identity through textual practices. Joining the larger conversation in Black German Studies on Afro-German poetry and autobiography, this project focuses on writing practices in Afro-German feminist poetry by Helga Emde, Katharina Oguntoye, and May Ayim; Afro-German spoken word poetry by Chantal-Fleur Sandjon, Philipp Khabo Köpsell and Samy Deluxe; Afro-German celebrity autobiographies by Abini Zöllner and Detlef Soost; as well as Afro-German memoirs by Theodor Michael and Gert Schramm. Black German textual practices develop parameters of collective identity that range from the emergence of Afro-German voices to a new understanding of Afro-German blackness; from a new recognition of Afro-German identities, to the rise of an Afro-German memory. The writing practices that shape parameters of collective identity—métissage, imagery, autofiction, multilayering—organize my dissertation and provide the categories for textual analysis. By combining close readings with aesthetic (e.g. Lionnet, Bürger, Gates, Wagner-Egelhaaf) and cultural theory (e. g. Du Bois, Gilroy, Hall, Silverman), my project demonstrates that Afro-German writing practices help to bend and transgress literary and social categories. The opening chapter reflects on how the aesthetic development in Afro-German feminist poetry breaks the history of Afro-German silence and establishes critical Afro-German voices by employing a form of textual interweaving, a practice I refer to as poetic métissage. Chapter two illustrates how a contemporary double-imagery in Afro-German spoken word poetry—what I describe as the twoness of textual elements that ignite the senses—defines new conceptions of German blackness that escape single-stranded representations. Chapter three explores how celebrity autobiographies by East German authors deploy autofiction in life writing to bring forth new ways of conceptualizing Black German recognition. The final chapter focuses on the ways in which palimpsestic multilayering—a form of textual layering—extends German cultural memories, while their development within the structure of the memoirs drives the formation of an Afro-German collective memory

Vom nationalen zum postnationalen Theater. Performances des „Österreichischen“ seit den 1950er Jahren
No full textPoesie und Trauma der Grenze : literarische Grenzfiktionen bei Ingeborg Bachmann und Terézia Mora
No full textMeine Überlegungen in diesem Essay gelten zwei sehr unterschiedlichen Grenzfiktionen in der Prosa von Ingeborg Bachmann und Terézia Mora, die in der Kontrastformel meines Titels als Poesie und Trauma der Grenze umschrieben sind. Damit bezeichne ich die Tendenz dieser topographisch angelegten Geschichten, eine prekäre Marginalität im Hinblick auf eine imaginäre Herkunft zu transzendieren oder als allegorisches Verfallsszenario zu chiffrieren.
Es handelt sich um Ingeborg Bachmanns Erzählung 'Drei Wege zum See', die letzte und längste von fünf Geschichten des 1972 erschienenen 'Simultan'- Bandes und auch die letzte Publikation zu Bachmanns Lebzeiten, sowie um Terézia Moras ersten Erzählband 'Seltsame Materie', dessen zehn Geschichten allesamt im ungarisch-österreichischen Grenzgebiet in unmittelbarer Nähe des Eisernen Vorhangs angesiedelt sind. Für eine dieser Erzählungen mit dem Titel 'Der Fall Ophelia' wurde die 1971 in Ungarn geborene und seit dem Ende des Kalten Krieges in Berlin lebende Schriftstellerin auch mit dem Ingeborg-Bachmann-Preis des Jahres 1999 ausgezeichnet. Der zeitkritische Gestus von Bachmanns Erzählung ist geprägt von einer modernen Entfremdungserfahrung und der Sehnsucht nach einem imaginären Ursprung; der anti-heimatliche Blick Terézia Moras auf das Terrain der eigenen Herkunft resultiert aus der alptraumhaften Erfahrung der Welt als Gefängnis, wie sie sie in einer Europa-Kolumne zum EU-Beitritt mittelosteuropäischer Länder im Mai 2004 skizziert hat: "Ich durfte zur ersten Generation gehören, die ihr Erwachsenenalter in einer neuen Welt begann. Vom Atomkrieg habe ich seither nicht mehr geträumt. Von Grenzschikanen bis heute. [...]
