Adelson, Making Bodies Making History: Feminism and German Identity. Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 1993. Pp. 196. Leslie A. Adelson has made a major contribution to the literature on feminism in her book on literature and identity formation. Her book stands in the rather good company of those of Biddy Martin and Sigrid Weigel who have the German tradition (not "PROBLEM") on constructing feminist identity. But Adelson's focus is slightly off-center and thus her work is in many ways more indicative of the specifically "German" tradition of women constructing and inscribing their identities through the act of writing. Adelson begins her book with a long, detailed discussion of how identity is shaped by and through writing. Relying heavily on the work of Alexander Kluge and Oskar Negt, her psycho-social model works extremely well as the basis for a detailed reading of the positions permit, opened, and assumed by women in post World War II German society. Her focus in this chapter is a counter-reading to the pure relativism of Judith Butler's Gender Trouble (a corrective now partially supported by Butler's most recent work). Construc- tion of identity is not self-willed or imposed but is part of the material condition of the feminine. Thus Adelson stresses, as the red thread through her book, the construction of the body-not merely within the sense that the "tongue" speaking is the physical representation of the body, but that the corporeality of the feminine in german culture lies in the language used and formed by that culture. The substance of Adelson's book lies in the detailed historical analysis of three books: Anne Duden's Ubergang, TORKAN's Tufan and Jeanette Lander's Ein Sommer in der Woche der like K. Of the three, the first serves as an extended trope on Adelson's theoretical introduction, as Duden uses the image of the "mouth" (with a series of intricate plays on this image in German) as an emblem of the state of German women in West Germany after the war. Having established a "German-feminist" baseline, of greater importance to Adelson's overall thesis is what a Turko-German and a German-Jewish woman author makes of this. (The hyphens are part of the problematic of these Published by New Prairie Press 1 Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature, Vol. 19, Iss. 2 [1995], Art. 10 290 STCL, Volume 19, No. 2 (Summer, 1995) categories as Adelson makes clear.) TORKAN's novel of Iranian Islamic culture and the problem of a young Islamic woman who "escapes" to Germany provides a perfect example of how social, cultural, and geo-historical position defines the material basis for identity. Jeanette Lander, like TORKAN, is a "foreigner" (she is an American Jew who emigrated to Berlin in 1960) who writes in German for a German reading audience. Lander's text is yet even more complicated as Lander's "foreignness" as a Jew/American/woman is literally inscribed in the language she chooses to employ. It is not only the theme of the text but its very substance, its language, that is "deformed." Adelson leads the reader in ever more difficult turns. She moves from the thematic complexity of Duden to the inscription of TORKAN's "foreignness" in the themes of her book, to Lander's deformation of the German language. But of course, this is not a spiral at all-all of the writers (and by extension all woman writers in Germany) are confronted with the question of how or whether to use the language of the aggressors. It is not deformation at all in Lander's work but a reformation of language and culture. Here Adelson makes her most important point-the history of Germany, the Shoah, the division of post-war Germany, the tensions present in West (and by extension East) German society betause of the material condition of the woman-all shape the discourse of woman writers who chose to see themselves as part of a German culture. It is unimportant whether they ate born into that culture (Duden), flee into it (TORKAN), or voluntarily enter it (Lander). In all cases the complexity of the culture is inscribed on their "tongues" and in their texts. One "footnote" to Adelson's presentation might be in order. In her discussion of Lander (87) she notes that Lander's texts are little read and little discussed in German culture. One could say the same thing (to greater or lesser degrees) about the other two texts/writers presented by Adelson. One might note that few critics, even feminist critics in Germany, have paid the sort of rigorous attention to complex notions of difference as a category of feminist identity formation in German culture that American feminist critics have. Again, only Christina von Braun springs to mind as a German feminist critic who is as attuned to question of "race" as well as questions of "gender." But more important, like Adelson, understands that they can be absolutely linked. The popular and critical reception (or lack of reception) of these texts in Germany is an indication of how radical and important Adelson's book is. This is the most recent title in the series "Modern German Culture and Literature" edited by Peter Hohendahl. The book is beautifully produced by University of Nebraska Press, a press that has come to the fore as the most adventurous critical press in Modern German Studies in the United States. One looks forward to more from Adelson and from the University ofNebraska Press. Sander L.

Psychoanalysis and the Post-Modern Impulse is an impressive addition to the growing library of recent writings that situate the analytic endeavor at the crossroads of philosophy, ideology and (post-) modernity. The reader will not find in Barrat's book a rehearsing of the history nor of the conflicting tendencies within the analytic community; there is no discussion of Kleinian, Freudian, object-relations theories, etc.

  • The Rhetorical Crisis of the Fall of the Berlin Wall
    THE RHETORICAL CRISIS OF THE FALL OF THE BERLIN WALL: FORGOTTEN NARRATIVES AND POLITICAL DIRECTIONS A Dissertation by MARCO EHRL Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Nathan Crick Committee Members, Alan Kluver William T. Coombs Gabriela Thornton Head of Department, J. Kevin Barge August 2018 Major Subject: Communication Copyright 2018 Marco Ehrl ABSTRACT The accidental opening of the Berlin Wall on November 9th, 1989, dismantled the political narratives of the East and the West and opened up a rhetorical arena for political narrators like the East German citizen movements, the West German press, and the West German leadership to define and exploit the political crisis and put forward favorable resolutions. With this dissertation, I trace the neglected and forgotten political directions as they reside in the narratives of the East German citizen movements, the West German press, and the West German political leadership between November 1989 and February 1990. The events surrounding November 9th, 1989, present a unique opportunity for this endeavor in that the common flows of political communication between organized East German publics, the West German press, and West German political leaders changed for a moment and with it the distribution of political legitimacy. To account for these new flows of political communication and the battle between different political crisis narrators over the rhetorical rights to reestablish political legitimacy, I develop a rhetorical model for political crisis narrative. This theoretical model integrates insights from political crisis communication theories, strategic narratives, and rhetoric.

Die Besetzung der regionalen Dienststellen im Dezember 1989 und der Zentrale des MfS (Ministerium für Staats- sicherheit) am 15. Januar 1990 bildeten Höhepunkte des revolutionären Geschehens. Die Fokus- sierung der Bürgerbewegung auf die Entmachtung des geheimpolizeilichen Apparats und die Sicherung seiner Hinterlassenschaft ist unübersehbar. Diese Fokussierung findet gleichsam ihre Fortsetzung in der Aufarbeitung der diktatorischen Vergangenheit der DDR in den darauffol- genden Jahren, in denen wiederum das Stasi-Thema und die Nutzung der MfS-Unterlagen im Vordergrund standen. Das könnte im Rückblick als zwangsläufige Entwicklung erscheinen, doch bei näherer Betrach- tung wird deutlich, dass das nicht der Fall war. Die Diskussionen des Jahres 1990 zeigen, dass die Nutzung von Stasi-Unterlagen für die Aufarbeitung der Vergangenheit selbst in Kreisen der Bürgerbewegung keineswegs unumstritten war.

The speaker and his mentor – Chat for two voices at a lectern For Christoph Hein on the awarding of the International Stefan Heym Prize on 10th April 2013 in Chemnitz A: We’ve got to have a title, at least a working title! So that people will know what it’s about. B: I was thinking about: “What is water?” A: What is water? What is that supposed to mean? B: Or better still, the quote: “What on earth is water?” A: You mean, if no one knows what it means, people will pay more attention, and it’ll heighten the tension? And you’ll give the answer at the end of the speech? B: No - I wanted to tell the story right at the beginning. A: What story? B: I got it from a colleague: “Two young fish are swimming along, and by chance they meet an older fish coming towards them. He nods to them and says: ‘Morning fellas, what’s the water like?’ The two little fish swim on for a while, and eventually one of them looks at the other and says, ‘What on earth is water?’ A: And what’s the point of this story? B: If, as a reader and writer, I want to explain what literature should be, stories are better than definitions. A: And the definition? B: It’s about wonder. It’s about the distance between us and what’s self-evident, between us and ourselves, about seeing yourself from the outside.
