Alexandra Julie Hills University College London PhD Thesis ‘ I, ALEXANDRA HILLS confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis.' 1 Acknowledgements I am extremely grateful to the Arts and Humanities Research Council for their continual support of my research thanks to a Research Preparation Award in 2009 and a Collaborative Doctoral Award in the context of the “Reverberations of War” project under the direction of Prof Mary Fulbrook and Dr Stephanie Bird. I also wish to thank the UCL Graduate School for funding two research trips to Vienna and Florence where I conducted archival and institutional research, providing essential material for the body of the thesis. I would like to acknowledge the libraries and archives which hosted me and aided me in my research: particularly, the Literaturarchiv der Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek, Dr. Volker Kaukoreit at the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek who facilitated access to manuscript material, the Wienbibliothek, the Centro Internazionale di Studi Primo Levi in Turin and Florence’s Biblioteca Nazionale. For their constant patience, resourcefulness and assistance, I wish to express my gratitude to staff at UCL and the British libraries, without whom my research would not have been possible. My utmost thanks go to my supervisors, Dr Stephanie Bird and Dr Florian Mussgnug, for their encouragement and enthusiasm throughout my research. Their untiring support helped me develop as a thinker; their helpful responses made me improve as a writer, and I am extremely grateful for their patience. Warm thanks are also due to Prof Mary Fulbrook without whom I would not have had the privilege of working with incredibly inspiring women throughout the course of my doctoral research in the context of the AHRC Collaborative Project “Reverberations of War in Europe since 1945.” Dr Julia Wagner, Dr Christiane Wienand and Gaëlle Fisher, my colleagues from the project, deserve special recognition for the astonishing energy, intellectual rigour and resourcefulness they injected into the project and I thank them for four fantastic years of collaboration.

I dedicate this thesis to my family: my deep gratitude goes to my parents and sister for such tireless optimism and emotional support throughout my life, and to J, without whom none of this would be possible. 3 Victimhood through a Creaturely Lens: Creatureliness, Trauma and Victimhood in Austrian and Italian Literature after 1945. (abstract) The thesis compares the representation of the Second World War, fascism and the Holocaust in Italian and Austrian literature and film. In Austria, the national myth of ‘Hitler’s first victim’ echoes with the prevalent Italian cultural narrative of the ‘good Italian’, which forecloses uncomfortable reckonings with toxic historical legacies and their traumatic aftermaths. By drawing on a range of theoretical writers such as Benjamin, Weil, Santner and Agamben, I argue that the ‘creature’ is a privileged lens through which victimhood can be examined as it represents the dehumanisation of the human being through traumatic exposure to violence. The notion of the creaturely theorises the ubiquity of animal imagery to represent wartime violence and is a barometer for attitudes towards suffering and victimhood where traumatic experience paradoxically either affirms the value of the victim’s suffering as a guarantor of humanity, or rejects the dehumanising impact of trauma as undesirable. By focussing on embodiment as a primary signifier of the salience of history, I begin my thesis with an analysis of historical consciousness and creaturely embodiment in Carlo Levi’s Cristo si è fermato a Eboli (1945) and Thomas Bernhard’s Frost (1963). The second part of the thesis examines Morante’s La Storia (1974) to evaluate the role of non-human animals, children and wartime spaces and assess the impact of suffering and trauma on the elaboration of a messianic interpretation of history’s victims. The third chapter deals with the transmission of a legacy of victimhood through generation and orality, and the necessity of developing an ethics of attention to competing narratives of history and national identity in Elisabeth Reichart’s Februarschatten (1984) and Anna Waltraud Mitgutsch’s Die Züchtigung (1985). The second part of my thesis problematises how the study of the Holocaust mobilises the notion of humanity while relying on the ubiquity of creaturely representation in Primo Levi and Ilse Aichinger. I conclude with a brief examination of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s Salò (1975) and Liliana Cavani’s Il Portiere di Notte (1974) in which I explore how filmic explorations of the textual trope of the creaturely, non-human, body imply problematic issues relating to the economy and politics of consumerism via an eroticisation of suffering. The thesis aims to retain a mindfulness of the precarity of a monolithically human definition of embodiment in the aftermath of violent historical events, and interrogate the viability of resting unambiguous narratives of personal and national identity on a troubled embodiment with the aim of accommodating readings that engage historical agency, reflect on the multiplicity of identities and maintain an ethical imperative towards the suffering other. 4 Table of Contents: Acknowledgements 2 Abstract 4 Introduction: 7 Victimhood through a Creaturely Lens: Creatureliness, Trauma and Victimhood in Austrian and Italian Literature after 1945.

Baker M.A., Bowling Green State University, 2000 M.A., Karl Franzens University, Graz, Austria, 1998 Committee Chair: Katharina Gerstenberger ABSTRACT “The Return of the Child Exile: Re-enactment of Childhood Trauma in Jewish Life- Writing and Documentary Film” is a study of the literary responses of writers who were Jewish children in hiding and exile during World War II and of documentary films on the topic of refugee children and children in exile. The goal of this dissertation is to investigate the relationships between trauma, memory, fantasy and narrative in a close reading/viewing of different forms of Jewish life-writing and documentary film by means of a scientifically informed approach to childhood trauma. Chapter 1 discusses the reception of Binjamin Wilkomirski’s Fragments (1994), which was hailed as a paradigmatic traumatic narrative written by a child survivor before it was discovered to be a fictional text based on the author’s invented Jewish life-story.

  • Alternate History – Alternate Memory: Counterfactual Literature in the Context of German Normalization
    ALTERNATE HISTORY – ALTERNATE MEMORY: COUNTERFACTUAL LITERATURE IN THE CONTEXT OF GERMAN NORMALIZATION by GUIDO SCHENKEL M.A., Freie Universität Berlin, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (German Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2012 © Guido Schenkel, 2012 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines a variety of Alternate Histories of the Third Reich from the perspective of memory theory. The term ‘Alternate History’ describes a genre of literature that presents fictional accounts of historical developments which deviate from the known course of hi story. These allohistorical narratives are inherently presentist, meaning that their central question of “What If?” can harness the repertoire of collective memory in order to act as both a reflection of and a commentary on contemporary social and political conditions. Moreover, Alternate Histories can act as a form of counter-memory insofar as the counterfactual mode can be used to highlight marginalized historical events. This study investigates a specific manifestation of this process. Contrasted with American and British examples, the primary focus is the analysis of the discursive functions of German-language counterfactual literature in the context of German normalization. The category of normalization connects a variety of commemorative trends in postwar Germany aimed at overcoming the legacy of National Socialism and re-formulating a positive German national identity. The central hypothesis is that Alternate Histories can perform a unique task in this particular discursive setting. In the context of German normalization, counterfactual stories of the history of the Third Reich are capable of functioning as alternate memories, meaning that they effectively replace the memory of real events with fantasies that are better suited to serve as exculpatory narratives for the German collective.

  • Valerie Mcguire, Phd Candidate Italian Studies Department, New York University La Pietra, Florence; Spring, 2012
    Valerie McGuire, PhD Candidate Italian Studies Department, New York University La Pietra, Florence; Spring, 2012 The Mediterranean in Theory and Practice The Mediterranean as a category has increasingly gained rhetorical currency in social and cultural discourses. It is used to indicate not only a geographic area but also a set of traditional and even sacrosanct human values, while encapsulating fantasies of both environmental utopia and dystopia. While the Mediterranean diet and “way of life” is upheld as an exemplary counterpoint to our modern condition, the region’s woes cast a shadow over Europe and its enlightened, rationalist ideals—and most recently, has even undermined the project of the European Union itself. The Mediterranean is as often positioned as the floodgate through which trickles organized crime, political corruption, illegal immigration, financial crisis, and more generally, the malaise of globalization, as it is imagined as a utopian This course explores different symbolic configurations of the Mediterranean in twentieth- and twenty-first-century Italian culture. Students will first examine different theoretical approaches (geophysical, historical, anthropological), and then turn to specific textual representations of the Mediterranean, literary and cinematic, and in some instances architectural. We will investigate how representations of the Mediterranean have been critical to the shaping of Italian identity as well as the role of the Mediterranean to separate Europe and its Others. Readings include Fernand Braudel, Iain Chambers, Ernesto de Martino, Elsa Morante, Andrea Camillieri, and Amara Lakhous. Final projects require students to isolate a topic within Italian culture and to develop in situ research that examines how the concept of the Mediterranean may be used to codify, or in some instances justify, certain textual or social practices.

  • Comparative Literary Studies Program Course Descriptions 2013-2014
    Comparative Literary Studies Program Course Descriptions 2013-2014 Fall 2013 CLS 206: Literature and Media: LaByrinths Lectures: TTh 11:00-12:20, Fisk B17 Instructor: Domietta Torlasco Expected Enrollment: Course Description: This course will trace a brief history of labyrinths through literature, architecture, cinema, and new media. From classical mythology to cutting-edge computer games, the figure of the labyrinth has shaped the way in which we ask crucial questions about space, time, perception, and technology. Whether an actual maze or a book or a film, the labyrinth presents us with an entanglement of lines and pathways that is as demanding as it is engrossing and even exhilarating. As we move from medium to medium, or pause in between media, the labyrinth will in turn emerge as an archetypal image, a concrete pattern, a narrative structure, a figure of thought, a mode of experience....Among the works which we will analyze are Jorge Luis Borges' celebrated short stories, Italo Calvino's experiments in detective fiction, Mark Z. Danielewski' hyper- textual novelHouse of Leaves, films such as Orson Welles' Citizen Kane (1941), Stanley Kubrick's The Shining (1980), and Christopher Nolan's Inception (2010), and the more intellectually adventurous video games. Evaluation Method: 1. Attendance and participation to lectures AND discussion sessions (25% of the final grade). Please note that more than three absences will automatically reduce your final grade. 2. Two short response papers (15%). 3. Mid-term exam (25%). 4. Final 5-6 page paper (35%). CLS 211 / ENG 211:Topics in Genre: Intro to Poetry Lectures: MW 11:00-11:50, Harris 107 Discussion Sections: F 11:00, 1:00 Instructor: Susannah Gottlieb Expected Enrollment: 100 Course Description: The experience of poetry can be understood in it at least two radically different ways: as a raw encounter with something unfamiliar or as a methodically constructed mode of access to the unknown.
