Peter Schneider's Never-Ending Reflections on the »Mauer«-Metaphor Paul Michael Lützeler Peter Schneider’s Never-Ending Reflections on the »Mauer«-Metaphor The most famous of all of Peter Schneider’s quotes is a line in his book Der Mauerspringer (The Wall Jumper). It reads: »Die Mauer im Kopf einzureißen wird länger dauern, als irgendein Abrißunternehmen für die sichtbare Mauer braucht«.1 The wall in our head, the wall in our imagination: that is a meta- phor for prejudices, for blindness to reality, for intellectual laziness. Peter Schneider’s aesthetic and ethical aim has always been to tear down the walls in our minds, as one can easily tell when one remembers his essays and nar- ratives. As a student activist in the 1960s, he wanted to tear down the wall that existed between students and professors, or rather students and the university administration; and with his first narrative work, Lenz (1973)2 he made us aware of the wall in our head regarding the difference between theory and practice, dogma and emotion, object and subject, presence and future. Schneider’s ›Berlin tetralogy‹3 anticipated the disappearance of the Berlin Wall – the sym- bol of the division between East and West Germany. He told stories about average (or not so average) individuals who tried to ignore or overcome the Berlin Wall. Two years after the Berlin Wall was built in 1961, a young East German author, Christa Wolf, published a book with the title Der geteilte Himmel4 (Divided Heaven). That novel deals with the love relationship of two young people, Manfred and Rita, and with Manfred’s flight to West Germany. The 1 Peter Schneider, Der Mauerspringer.

Obviously, the story about the divided country is told from a GDR point of view. The love story, which ends unhappily with the enforced separation of Manfred and Rita, touched the hearts of many read- ers, but this did not contribute to the overcoming of the wall in our minds. Two decades passed before a young West German author who was ten years Christa Wolf’s junior was able to write such a book: in 1982, Peter Schneider published Der Mauerspringer (The Wall Jumper). Unlike Der geteilte Himmel (Divided Heaven), Schneider’s story sets out to overcome the wall in our minds and hearts. The central character of the book Der Mauerspringer (The Wall Jumper) is not a person but an artifact – namely, the Berlin Wall. This wall extended north and south of Berlin for close to a thousand miles all the way through Germany, and was known by the name of the German Wall or the German/ German border. Of course, for thousands of years of human history, walls have been erected between countries and regions: The Great Wall of China, the Roman Limes in Germania Superior, Hadrian’s Wall in England, or, nowadays, the border wall between the U.S. and Mexico all come to mind.5 But there was something quite distinctive about the Berlin Wall. While the border forti- fications of earlier times were built to protect the population against so-called ›barbarians‹, unwanted migrants, or attacking enemy armies, the Berlin Wall or German Wall had the opposite function: rather than keeping foreigners out, it was designed to prevent the country’s own population from running away. The propaganda of the East German government declared the purpose of the Wall to be ›Anti-Fascist Protection‹ (›Antifaschistischer Schutzwall‹6), but in reality it served as a means of confining the East German populace. Anti-Soviet movements in Central and Eastern Europe had, without ex- ception, been crushed by the Russians during the Cold War Period; think of the uprisings in 1953 in East Germany,7 in 1956 in Hungary,8 and in 1968 in 5 Cf.

  • Occidental Regionalism in the Nibelungenlied: Medieval Paradigms of Foreignness
    OCCIDENTAL REGIONALISM IN THE NIBELUNGENLIED: MEDIEVAL PARADIGMS OF FOREIGNNESS BY SHAWN ROBIN BOYD DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in German in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2010 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor C. Stephen Jaeger, Chair Professor Marianne Kalinke Associate Professor Frederick Schwink Associate Professor Laurie Johnson Associate Professor Carol Symes ii ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the issue of foreignness in the Nibelungenlied, raising questions about the nature, and crossing, of intra-Christian borders within the text that separate customs, practices, and worldviews. It analyzes cultural alterity and its attendant outcomes in the first half of the Nibelungenlied using concepts from anthropology and cultural and sociological theory. The dissertation argues that multiple levels of foreignness, as defined by the philosopher Bernd Waldenfels, separate characters in the Nibelungenlied. Despite their varying origins, these instances of alienation all have a common result: a lack of a complete picture of the world for individual characters and the prevention of close human connections that would allow intentions and motivations to be divined. Characters’ imperfect understandings of their surroundings are fostered by their foreignness and drive many of the conflicts in the text, including Siegfried’s verbal clash with the Burgundians when he first arrives in Worms, Brünhild’s entanglement with Gunther and Siegfried, and the argument between Kriemhild and Brünhild. In addition, this dissertation argues that the constant interaction with the foreign undergone by the court at Worms leads to a change in its culture away from one which sees appearance and reality as one and the same to one that takes advantage of the power granted by a newfound ability to separate Sein from Schein.

  • Temporality, Subjectivity and Postcommunism in Contemporary German Literature by Herta Müller, Zsuzsa Bánk and Terézia Mora
    PASTS WITH FUTURES: TEMPORALITY, SUBJECTIVITY AND POSTCOMMUNISM IN CONTEMPORARY GERMAN LITERATURE BY HERTA MÜLLER, ZSUZSA BÁNK AND TERÉZIA MORA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Katrina Louise Nousek May 2015 © 2015 Katrina Louise Nousek PASTS WITH FUTURES: TEMPORALITY, SUBJECTIVITY AND POSTCOMMUNISM IN CONTEMPORARY GERMAN LITERATURE BY HERTA MÜLLER, ZSUZSA BÁNK AND TERÉZIA MORA Katrina Louise Nousek, Ph. D. Cornell University 2015 This dissertation analyzes future-oriented narrative features distinguishing German literature about European communism and its legacies. Set against landscapes marked by Soviet occupation and Ceauşescu’s communist dictatorship in Romania (Müller) and against the 1956 Hungarian revolution, eastern European border openings, and post-Wende Berlin (Mora, Bánk), works by these transnational authors engage social legacies that other discourses relegate to an inert past after the historic rupture of 1989. Dominant scholarship reads this literature either through trauma theory or according to autobiography, privileging national histories and static cultural identities determined by the past. Shifting attention to complex temporal structures used to narrate literary subjectivities, I show how these works construct European futures that are neither subsumed into a homogeneous present, nor trapped in traumatic repetition, nostalgic longing, or psychic disavowal. My analysis extends and contributes to debates in politics and the arts about the status of utopia after communism and the role of society in political entities no longer divided in Cold War terms of East/West, three worlds, or discrete national cultures. By focusing on Müller, Mora and Bánk, I widen the purview of FRG-GDR discussions about communism to include transnational, temporal and narrative perspectives that scholarship on these authors often overlooks.

  • 9. Rache, Vergeltung, Strafe
    9. RACHE, VERGELTUNG, STRAFE Uns, Herr, uns lass das alte Schwert ausgraben! Lass Stahl in jedes Mannes Hände tauen! Die Frauen dürfen leere Hände haben – und nicht einmal die Frauen. Friedrich Torberg „Rebellen-Gebet“ (Übersetzung des anonymen Ge- dichtes Nad Hrobkou Českých Kralů - „An der Grabstätte der Böhmischen Könige“) Rache, Vergeltung, Strafe 1215 Rache und Vergeltung entsprachen 1944/46 einem „tiefen Bedürfnis“ vieler Einwohner Europas, die deutsche Besatzungs-, Deportations- und Vernichtungs- politik erlitten hatten. Denn eine Mehrheit von Europäern hatte den Zweiten Welt- krieg nicht am militärischen Schlachtfeld erlebt, sondern als Kriegsgefangene, Zwangsarbeiter und KZ-Insassen, aber auch als Partisanen, Kollaborateure und „Mitläufer“. „In the annals of history, however, never have so many people been caught up in the process of collaboration, resistance, and retribution as in Europe during and after the Second Wolrd War.“ Aber auch die „tägliche Demütigung“ sollte nicht unterschätzt werden, denn: „Männer und Frauen wurden verraten und erniedrigt, tagtäglich zu kleinen Gesetzwidrigkeiten genötigt, bei denen jeder et- was und viele alles verloren“.2504 Beim Vormarsch der Roten Armee nach Ost- und Westpreußen, Pommern und Schlesien, nach Mähren und Böhmen, in die Slowakei und nach Ungarn, durch den Banat, die Batschka und die Baranya, beim Vormarsch der jugoslawischen Partisanen durch die Vojvodina, Kroatien und Slowenien, bei der Evakuierung der Karpatendeutschen, beim Prager Aufstand, dem Brünner „Todesmarsch“ und dem Aussiger Pogrom, nicht zuletzt bei der Übernahme der neuen polnischen Westgebiete, ließen nicht nur sowjetische Soldaten, sondern auch polnische und tschechische Soldaten, Milizionäre und „Revolutionsgarden“, serbische, kroati- sche und slowenische Partisanen, sogar „Zivilisten“ aller Art, ihren Hassgefühlen gegenüber „den Deutschen“ freien Lauf.

We will explore the cultural implications and critical history of the fairy tale using German folk fairy tales and German literary fairy tales as a basis for analysis. Although many believe folk fairy tales to originate spontaneously from the oral tradition, they are actually based on a rich literary history from various European cultures. In the first part of the course we will look at different tale “types” and their multicultural variants found in English, French and Italian literature (Hansel and Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast etc.). In the second half of the course we will look at German literary fairy tales written by some of the most famous German writers of the Romantic period during the tumultous period following the French Revolution and the German wars of liberation. In addition to primary texts, students will be required to read texts from selected secondary sources for this course. This course satisfies the Reading Literature (RL) and European Traditions (ET) requirements of PLAS. While reading these primary literary texts in translation, we will discuss the cultural and historical context in which they were written and compare how readers of different times and cultures, including the present, come to certain interpretations about these tales.

This course examines woman as the site of cultural and aesthetic critique in mainstream German literature and film from the Enlightenment to the 20th century, in conjunction with feminist theory. Examples will be taken from fairy tales, history, literature, mythology, and film. The course will begin with an overview of Enlightenment and post-Enlightenment gender theory in a broad European context (Rousseau, Wollstonecraft, de Gouges, von Hippel). We then will analyze constructions of "woman" in German literature, film, and theory, focusing on the emergence of (and resistance to) modern gender theory. Readings and films include selections from Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Schiller, Sophia von La Roche, Friedrich Schlegel, Dorothea Schlegel, Karoline von Günderrode, Heinrich von Kleist, Annette von Droste-Hülshoff, Friedrich Hebbel, Franz Grillparzer, Christa Wolf, Michael Verhoeven, and Tom Twyker.
