Ruth Berlau: a Talented Author in Her Own Right
No full textAs I began researching Ruth Berlau’s life, I encountered repeated references to Berlau’s beauty, always accompanied by the suggestion that it was her looks that attracted German playwright Bertolt Brecht’s attention. Berlau was one of a long line of women whom Brecht drew into his orbit, but most critics seem to agree that Berlau lacked the literary and secretarial skills of her predecessors Elisabeth Hauptmann and Margarethe Steffin. In contrast, Berlau is often regarded as an eccentric, overly aggressive woman, who was Brecht’s lover and follower, but not his equal. Despite, or perhaps because of this widespread but superficial assumption, my research was focused on the search for Berlau as a person and an author in her own right

Vom Raster zum Netzwerk: der westdeutsche Überwachungsapparat in den Werken von Volker Schlöndorff, Margarethe von Trotta, Friedrich Christian Delius und Rainald Goetz
No full textThe 1970s in West Germany were a tumultuous decade: Terrorist groups declared war on the political and economic elites, tabloids created a widespread sense of insecurity, and the government developed an intrusive surveillance apparatus by adopting emerging technologies. Focusing on this pivotal decade, this project investigates how early digital surveillance enters film and literature.
Two structures are at the center of my analysis: grids and networks. Grids, whether used on maps or in databases, are static. They are tools for ruling spaces. In contrast, networks ceaselessly establish connections. They undermine regulatory structures. In the 1970s the West German police force undergoes a drastic change: Analog files are digitized, and a comprehensive database is put in place. For the first time, network technology was used for surveillance on a national scale. Grids and networks, I argue, become structures through which the novel make-up of the digital surveillance apparatus is rendered subject to debate within the fictional realm.
Four works are central to my analysis: In Volker Schlöndorff and Margarethe von Trotta’s film Die verlorene Ehre der Katharina Blum (The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum, 1975) I read architectonic grids as an extension of the intrusive investigation to which the protagonist Blum is subjected. In Friedrich Christian Delius’ novel Ein Held der inneren Sicherheit (A Domestic Security Hero, 1981) rhizomatic structures, such as hives of insects, enter the grids of corporate high-rises that were targeted by terrorists. Delius’ novel Himmelfahrt eines Staatsfeindes (Ascension of an Enemy of the State, 1992) closely engages with governmental surveillance in describing a network of apparti collecting information in an all-encompassing database. And Rainald Goetz’ novel Kontrolliert (Controlled, 1988) is permeated by rhizomatic structures that defy grids’ inherent compartmentalization. Goetz describes surveillance as a process of transcribing. The grids and networks of these cinematic and literary works negotiate a new concept of surveillance that is tied to the interception of networks to collect information on the entire West German population.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical reference
