I am indebted to him also for providing me with many contacts in Vienna whose assistance in the early stages of my research was invaluable. In Vienna I was fortunate to meet with a number of scholars who have written on the work of Joseph Roth. I would like to thank Professor Moritz Csáky of the Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften; Professor Wendelin Schmidt- Dengler from the Universität Wien; and Dr. Heinz Lunzer, director of the Literaturhaus Wien for their interest in my project and their academic advice. Dr. Lutz Musner kindly enabled me to attend lectures at the Internationales Forschungszentrum Kulturwissenschaften of which he is the director.

No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. INTRODUCTION NO NOVELIST has better described the dissolution of the Haps­ burg empire than Joseph Roth. Of course it did not collapse with a shudder at the death of the emperor and the end of the Great War, but had been rotting away for years, and the rot created its own luster, which Roth captured with an uncanny accuracy. He caught the rustling silks and sword hilts, the gutted nostalgia, the unwritten and impenetrable rules, the aimless­ ness and hollow laughter, the Prater and masquerades, the military maneuvers and opera boxes. He described it all as a dying candle, flickering, golden, consumed by the very liquid it had created. I lived in the cheerful, carefree company of young aristo­ crats whose company, second only to that of artists, I loved best under the old Empire. With them I shared a skeptical frivolity, a melancholy curiosity, a wicked insouciance, and the pride of the doomed, all signs of the disintegration which at that time we still did not see coming. Above the ebullient glasses from which we drank, invisible Death was already crossing his bony hands. We swore without malice and blasphemed without thought. Alone and old, distant and at the same time turning into stone, but still close to us all and omnipresent in the great and brilliant pattern of the Empire, lived and ruled the old Emperor, For general queries, contact [email protected] © Copyright, Princeton University Press.

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.

Nicht We are born to remember. Not vergessen, sondern Erinnerung ist unsere forgetting, but remembering is our Aufgabe... duty… (Heinrich Böll, Das Vermächtnis) Course description: This course provides an overview of German literature, film, and culture since 1945, with a focus on the topic of memory. German culture after 1945 has been preoccupied by the memory of war, National Socialism, and the Holocaust; debates among historians are front-page news, particularly the Historians’ Debate of the 1980s and the Goldhagen debate of the 90s. Literature and film have been important vehicles for the process of Vergangenheitsbewältigung, or coming to terms with the past, and we will discuss texts that both portray and perform acts of memory. We will examine various strategies of remembering and memorializing the past, always asking what the significance of memory is for the present and future. Furthermore, we will examine a range of memory cultures, considering memories of the 1950s “economic miracle,” the 60s student movement and 70s radicalism, and the GDR and its demise, all of which coexist (and compete) with memories of the war and the Holocaust in the same cultural space. No expertise in spoken or written German is required for participation in the course. However, students majoring in German will be expected to read texts in the original German.

  • „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.

  • Lesung Über Gottfried Benn Autoren-Leseabend Mit Holger Hof Am Dienstag, 4
    Literatur, Politik&Biographie aus unserer Nachbarschaft Lesungen 2017: Lesung über Gottfried Benn Autoren-Leseabend mit Holger Hof am Dienstag, 4. April 2017, 19.00 Uhr, Wahlkreisbüro Gottfried Benn (1886-1956) gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Dichter der literarischen Moderne des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er schrieb Gedichte, Dramen, Erzählungen und Essays. Besonders bekannt sind seine Gedichtbände (z. B. „Fleisch“ 1917), die stark expressionistisch geprägt sind. Benn hat neben seiner literarischen Tätigkeit immer auch als Arzt gearbeitet. Seit 1904 lebte Benn (mit einigen Unterbrechungen) in Berlin, von 1937 bis zu seinem Tod 1956 befand sich seine Wohnung mit der Arztpraxis in der Bozener Straße 20 in Schöneberg (nah an der Grenze zu Wilmersdorf). Den Gottfried-Benn-Abend gestaltet Holger Hof. Er lebt als freier Autor in Berlin und gilt als einer der kompetentesten Benn-Experten. Über Benn hat er u.a. eine Biografie geschrieben und eine Bildbiografie erstellt, zudem hat er den Briefwechsel mit Ernst Jünger herausgegeben. Über die Lese-Reihe: Der Berliner Westen, von der Kantstraße bis zum Bayerischen Platz, war vor allem in der Weimarer Republik die bevorzugte Wohngegend von Berliner Literaten. Viele Autorinnen und Autoren, die schon berühmt waren oder später berühmt wurden, haben hier gewohnt. Zu nennen sind vor allem Gottfried Benn, Walter Benjamin, Heinrich Mann, Else Lasker-Schüler, Anna Seghers, Kurt Tucholsky und Else Ury. Sie alle wohnten in Wilmersdorf oder Charlottenburg. Hierzu bieten wir bis Ende Mai Lesungen an (siehe Aushänge). Ort: hier im Wahlkreisbüro (Fechnerstraße 6a, 10717 Berlin) Anmeldung erbeten: per E-Mail [email protected] oder telefonisch 863 19 653 oder persönlich hier im Wahlkreisbüro .
