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. -
Uses of the Past in Twelfth-Century Germany: the Case of the Middle High German Kaiserchronik Mark Chinca and Christopher Young
Uses of the Past in Twelfth-Century Germany: The Case of the Middle High German Kaiserchronik Mark Chinca and Christopher Young Abstract: Despite its broad transmission and its influence on vernacular chronicle writing in the German Middle Ages, the Kaiserchronik has not received the attention from historians that it deserves. This article describes some of the ideological, historical, and literary contexts that shaped the original composition of the chronicle in the middle of the twelfth century: Christian salvation history, the revival of interest in the Roman past, the consolidation of a vernacular literature of knowledge, and the emergence of a practice of writing history as “serious entertainment” by authors such as Geoffrey of Monmouth and Godfrey of Viterbo. Placed in these multiple contexts, which have a European as well as a specifically German dimension, the Kaiserchronik emerges as an important document of the uses of the past in fostering a sense of German identity among secular and ecclesiastical elites in the high Middle Ages. The Kaiserchronik, completed probably in Regensburg ca.1150, is a seminal work.1 Monumental in scale, it comprises over seventeen thousand lines of Middle High German verse and is the first verse chronicle in any European language. Through a grand narrative of the reigns of thirty-six Roman and nineteen German emperors filling a timespan of twelve centuries, it throws the spotlight on ethnicity, religion and cultural identity, and on the relationship between church and empire, as these issues play out on the various stages of Rome, Germany and their territorial outposts in the Mediterranean basin.2 The Kaiserchronik has several claims to uniqueness. -

„Trödler Des Unbegreiflichen“ Die Schriftsteller Und Ihr Streit Im Deutschsprachigen Exil Von Wolf Scheller Das Exil War Sein Schicksal
„Trödler des Unbegreiflichen“ Die Schriftsteller und ihr Streit im deutschsprachigen Exil Von Wolf Scheller Das Exil war sein Schicksal. Davon ist er zeit seines Lebens nicht losgekommen. Hans Sahl, aus Dresden gebürtig, gehörte zu jenen brillanten Intellektuellen, die bereits im geistigen Leben der Weimarer Republik eine Rolle spielten, vor den Nazis fliehen mußten und als ungeliebte Heimkehrer in der Bundesrepublik lange vergessen blieben. Erst in seinen letzten Lebensjahren, die der fast erblindete Autor in Tübingen verbrachte, wurde er mit Preisen überschüttet, wurden seine Gedichte und Romane neuaufgelegt. “Wir sind die Letzten“, hieß eine Gedichtsammlung, die 1941 erschien, in der sich dieser „Trödler des Unbegreiflichen“, wie er sich nannte, als Moralist und Wahrheitsfanatiker von hohen Graden zu erkennen gab. Es waren Eigenschaften, die Sahl bis ins hohe Alter zu eigen waren, ihm aber auch immer wieder zu schaffen gemacht haben. Es ging ihm auch nach der Wende, nach der Selbstauflösung der Sowjetunion, nach dem Untergang des Ostblockkommunismus, um irdische Gerechtigkeit, um individuelle Freiheit, um historische Wahrheit. Im amerikanischen Exil der dreissiger und vierziger Jahre hatte Sahl die Unbarmherzigkeit dieser Debatte unter den Emigranten fürchten gelernt. Aber er ließ sich davon nicht aus der Fassung bringen. Er verurteilte die blutige Diktatur Stalins ebenso wie das Terrorregime der Nazis. Das machte ihn untragbar für die Dichter-Kollegen Brecht, Seghers, oder den „rasenden Reporter“ Egon Erwin Kisch, dem die blödsinnige Bemerkung zu verdanken ist: “Stalin denkt für uns.“ Da wollte Sahl im fernen New York nicht mehr mitspielen. Brecht warf ihn im Streit aus seiner Wohnung. Sahl fand sich mit Alfred Döblin, Joseph Roth, Hermann Kesten und Walter Mehring schließlich auf der anderen Seite der Barrikaden wieder. -
Kafka's Anti-Wagnerian Philosophy Of

These aspects are articulated in the selected texts in a manner that stands in stark opposition to Richard Wagner’s philosophy of music as presented in the composer’s sem- inal 1870 “Beethoven” essay. Keywords Richard Wagner, Franz Kafka, Philosophy of Music, Transcendence, Acousmatic Sound, Silence Max Brod, Franz Kafka’s close friend and literary executor, recalls in his bi- ography of the author that Kafka once said that “he couldn’t tell the differ- ence between The Merry Widow and Tristan and Isolde” (1995, 115). Brod evokes this memory in order to exemplify Kafka’s supposed lack of musi- cality. Indeed, for a German-speaking intellectual such as Kafka, not being able to differentiate Franz Lehár’s light operetta from Richard Wagner’s solemn, monumental music-drama would not simply be an example of unmusicality, but a symptom of cultural autism.

Czech Language and Literature Peter Zusi
chapter 17 Czech Language and Literature Peter Zusi Recent years have seen a certain tendency to refer to Kafka as a ‘Czech’ author – a curious designation for a writer whose literary works, without exception, are composed in German. As the preceding chapter describes, Kafka indeed lived most of his life in a city where Czech language and society gradually came to predominate over the German-speaking minor- ity, and Kafka – a native German-speaker – adapted deftly to this changing social landscape. Referring to Kafka as Czech, however, is inaccurate, explicable perhaps only as an attempt to counterbalance a contrasting simplification of his complicated biography: the marked tendency within Kafka scholarship to investigate his work exclusively in the context of German, Austrian or Prague-German literary history. The Czech socio-cultural impulses that surrounded Kafka in his native Prague have primarily figured in Kafka scholarship through sociological sketches portraying ethnic animosity, lack of communication and, at times, open violence between the two largest lin- guistic communities in the city. These historical realities have given rise to the persistent image of a ‘dividing wall’ between the Czech- and German- speaking inhabitants of Prague, with the two populations reading different newspapers, attending separate cultural institutions and congregating in segregated social venues. This image of mutual indifference or antagonism has often made the question of Kafka’s relation to Czech language and cul- ture appear peripheral. Yet confronting the perplexing blend of proximity and distance, famil- iarity and resentment which characterized inter-linguistic and inter- cultural contact in Kafka’s Prague is a necessary challenge. -

The German Literature in American Exile – Great Writers and Their Wives: Perspectives from Russian Scholars
SHS Web of Conferences 55, 04018 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/shsconf/20185504018 ICPSE 2018 The German literature in American exile – great writers and their wives: perspectives from Russian scholars Svetlana Averkina1,*, Angelika Kalinina1, and Tatiana Suchareva1 1Linguistics University of Nizhny Novgorod, 603115, 31-a Minina str., Nizhniy Novgorod, Russia Abstract. The article focuses on the life and art of the famous Germane writers, namely Thomas Mann, Lion Feuchtwanger, and Franz Werfel. After the outbreak of WWII, when the Nazi forces invaded these lands, a lot of emigres managed to leave for the USA. For many of them, the escape route was extremely turbulent. The German writers in the USA settled closely together in California, forming a tight community. The famous Germane writers had to decide upon two principal questions: what they could do for the culture of their home country while staying in exile, and how to interact with the culture of the country where they live. In this connection, it is of great importance to analyze not their works, but the books of their wives. They took care of the house and children on a daily basis, as well as became secretaries, councilors, and closest associates of their great husbands. The authors also propose the main perspectives on a future research on this topic, focusing on the social and political phenomenon of “the community of German writers in American exile”, analyzing how the intellectual community was formed, discussing the documents of this age, studying the memories about their time in America in the context of the contemporary gender theory. -
Hartmann Von Aue's Religious Attitude and Didacticism In
HARTMANN VON AUE'S RELIGIOUS ATTITUDE AND DIDACTICISM IN HIS GREGORIUS 0 APPRECIATE Hartmann von Aue's moral precept Tand his attitude toward Christianity, it is necessary first to review briefly Hartmam's own character, so far as we can glimpse it from internal evidence in his works. He was Herr Hartmann, a member of the courtly circle; he shows, accord- ingly, in his Erec and Iwein a familiarity with, and apprecia- tion of, the courtly life and tone, His protected life, devoid of hardship or struggle, reflects itself in a kindly and generous attitude, permeated with a sense of Treue as the word is used in the courtly epic, Treue is a funadmental trait of Hart- mann's character, implying a reciprocal loyalty to his over- lord, as evidenced by the poet's sincere lyrical laments over his loss. Treue of wife to husband in Erec, of husband to wife in Iwein, Treue as devotion of serf to superior in Der arme Heinrich-all these evidence the importance Hartmann attached to that quality. Such recognition shows Hartmann as a true and typical member of a courtly society that ac- cepted Treue in its various meanings as a required part of the economic and social make-up. Loyalty, fidelity, allegiance -however one may interpret the term-assured a fairly se- cure and smoothly running society, without any great one- sided struggle for existence. The serf provided the means of living in return for the responsibility which the aristocrat assumed on his behalf. Hartrnam as an aristocrat shows, accordingly, no great inner struggle and relatively little depth of philosophic insight.
