Exile and Holocaust Literature in German and Austrian Post-War Culture
Religions 2012, 3, 424–440; doi:10.3390/rel3020424 OPEN ACCESS religions ISSN 2077-1444 www.mdpi.com/journal/religions Article Haunted Encounters: Exile and Holocaust Literature in German and Austrian Post-war Culture Birgit Lang School of Languages and Linguistics, The University of Melbourne, Parkville 3010 VIC, Australia; E-Mail: [email protected] Received: 2 May 2012; in revised form: 11 May 2012 / Accepted: 12 May 2012 / Published: 14 May 2012 Abstract: In an essay titled ‗The Exiled Tongue‘ (2002), Nobel Prize winner Imre Kertész develops a genealogy of Holocaust and émigré writing, in which the German language plays an important, albeit contradictory, role. While the German language signified intellectual independence and freedom of self-definition (against one‘s roots) for Kertész before the Holocaust, he notes (based on his engagement with fellow writer Jean Améry) that writing in German created severe difficulties in the post-war era. Using the examples of Hilde Spiel and Friedrich Torberg, this article explores this notion and asks how the loss of language experienced by Holocaust survivors impacted on these two Austrian-Jewish writers. The article argues that, while the works of Spiel and Torberg are haunted by the Shoah, the two writers do not write in the post-Auschwitz language that Kertész delineates in his essays, but are instead shaped by the exile experience of both writers. At the same time though, Kertész‘ concept seems to be haunted by exile, as his reception of Jean Améry‘s works, which form the basis of his linguistic genealogies, shows an inability to integrate the experience of exile. -
Ten Thomas Bernhard, Italo Calvino, Elena Ferrante, and Claudio Magris: from Postmodernism to Anti-Semitism
Ten Thomas Bernhard, Italo Calvino, Elena Ferrante, and Claudio Magris: From Postmodernism to Anti-Semitism Saskia Elizabeth Ziolkowski La penna è una vanga, scopre fosse, scava e stana scheletri e segreti oppure li copre con palate di parole più pesanti della terra. Affonda nel letame e, a seconda, sistema le spoglie a buio o in piena luce, fra gli applausi generali. The pen is a spade, it exposes graves, digs and reveals skeletons and secrets, or it covers them up with shovelfuls of words heavier than earth. It bores into the dirt and, depending, lays out the remains in darkness or in broad daylight, to general applause. —Claudio Magris, Non luogo a procedere (Blameless) In 1967, Italo Calvino wrote a letter about the “molto interessante e strano” (very interesting and strange) writings of Thomas Bernhard, recommending that the important publishing house Einaudi translate his works (Frost, Verstörung, Amras, and Prosa).1 In 1977, Claudio Magris held one of the !rst international conferences for the Austrian writer in Trieste.2 In 2014, the conference “Il più grande scrittore europeo?

The Ends of an Empire: Pier Antonio Quarantotti Gambiniʼs Il Cavallo Tripoli and Joseph Rothʼs Radetzkymarsch

Instead of leaving it as “neither nor,” viewing it as “both and” can help shape the critical view of the Italian literary landscape, as well as add to the picture of Austro-Hungarian literature. Joseph Roth’s Radetzkymarsch (Radetzky March) and Pier Antonio Quarantotti Gambini’s novel Il cavallo Tripoli (The Horse Tripoli) depict the experience of loss brought on by the fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in similar ways, although they do so from different linguistic and national sides. However, the writings of the Italian author are generally categorized as representing a pro-Italian perspective and those of the Austrian as pro-Austro-Hungarian. This article argues that their novels provide a more nuanced portrayal of the world and identities than just their nationalities or political views do. Because of assumptions about the authors, the complexity of the novels’ representations of layered linguistic and cultural interactions have often been missed, especially those of Il cavallo Tripoli. -

^Eintragungsstand Vom 13. November 2001
1 Publikationen zur Literatur des III. Reichs Seit den späten 80er Jahren ist die Literatur, die sich mit der Literatur und allgemein mit dem literarisch-kulturelle Leben des III. Reichs auseinandersetzt, sehr angewachsen. Nicht allein deswegen ist die Forschungslage sehr unübersichtlich geworden; sie ist auch deswegen unübersichtlich, weil sich der Gegenstand nur schwer definieren läßt. Das Schrifttum, das in irgendeiner Weise in eine Beziehung zum III. Reich gerückt werden kann, setzt z.B. nicht erst mit dem Jahr 1933 ein, sie begrenzt sich auch nicht auf jene Literatur, die gemeinhin im Blickpunkt der Literaturwissenschaft liegt usw. Da mehrere Fachgebiete beteiligt sind, unterliegt es nur zu oft der Interpretation, was unter literaturwissenschaftlichem Gesichtswinkel einschlägig wäre und was nicht. So gestaltet sich die Literatursuche oft mühsam; leider gibt es in der Germanistik keine Bibliographie, die auch nur ansatzweise derjenigen von Michael Ruck (Bibliographie zum Nationalsozialismus, 2 Bde u. 1 CD, 2Darmstadt 2000) vergleichbar wäre. Nicht, um diese zu substituieren (was überhaupt nicht möglich ist), aber um das Suchen hier und da etwas zu erleichtern, kippe ich hier meinen privaten Zettelkasten aus; möglicherweise läßt sich zuweilen etwas finden, auf das man zuvor nicht gestoßen ist. Ich beschränke mich auf Titel, die seit 1990 erschienen sind; die älteren Zettel sind ins Literaturverzeichnis von Literatur und Drittes Reich (2. Aufl. 1994) eingegangen. Bei Sammelbänden werden in der Regel nur die Gesamttitel genannt, nicht die einzelnen Beiträge – außer dort, wo sie wirklich zentral und einschlägig sind. Spezialtitel (etwa zur Jünger-, Benn- etc.-Forschung können selbstverständlich allenfalls eher zufällig aufgenommen werden). Wie gesagt, es handelt sich um meinen privaten Zettelkasten. -
We Love Our Heimat, but We Need Foreigners” Tourism and the Reconstruction of Austria, 1945– 55

Wir brauchen den Fremdenverkehr und laden alle Welt zu uns zu Gaste. Wien und Salzburg werden als Stätt en der Kunst, unsere Al- pen als touristische Ziele ersten Ranges die Fremden mit Freude begrüßen.”1 Renner’s statement features the very elements of economic self- colonization and tourist commodifi cationthat have formed a critical target throughout the postwar period for writers such as Ingeborg Bachmann, Franz Innerhofer, Th omas Bernhard, Felix Mitt erer, Norbert Gstrein, and Nobel Laureate Elfriede Jelinek, to name only a few. By addressing the rapid social, cultural, economic, and environmental transformations caused by the stun- ning growth of the tourism sector in Austria aft er 1945, these literary works have also contributed to the long overdue dismantling of Austria’s conserva- tive and patriarchal sociopolitical structures and have therefore become le- gitimate parts of the literary canon of post- 1945 Austria. However, over time, the literary tourism critique has affi rmed a notion of Austrian reality as hid- den, covered up, concealed, camoufl aged— the list could go on— by tourism. -
