Written primarily between 1850 and 1907, these narratives are the fruit of this period of tension and change; thus, they reflect and react to the thought, conventions, and attitudes of the time, in many cases powerfully depicting the birth struggles of a new way of being. Although some of the authors were relatively unfamiliar to the nineteenth-century reading public, many of them were among the most famous and widely read literary voices of their time, often influential in broader cultural, intellectual, and political spheres of activity as well. In the long tradition of women's writing in German-speaking cultures, these women are particularly significant in that they represent the first gen­ eration of women authors to enjoy a full range of educational opportunities, including attendance at a university, with far greater mobility and access to spheres of public and political life than experienced by their foremothers in Europe. Although some of these women, at least in their initial years of publication, adopted male pseudonyms, most of them presented their works under their own names. In a variety of approaches, from realistic narratives to fairy tales and allegorical depictions, from the epistolary story to the idioms Preface viii of nineteenth-century Realism and German Naturalism, these authors gave voice to a kaleidoscopic panorama of human thought, emotion, and expe­ rience during a period of unprecedented change and development in the history of humanity.! Across generations and cultures, women's writing has tended to focus on interpersonal relationships; the stories in this anthology follow that predilection on a number of levels. One of the more significant of these is the moral vision that emerges from many of the narratives. At a time when Karl Marx and his followers advocated a classless society achieved through violent revolution, these women in their unique way posited an end to the "vertical" scramble for more: more power, prestige, money, beauty, pleasure, even at the cost of sacrificing others to get it. However, their vision eschews violence; instead, they envision a society that changes from the inside, through the actions and attitudes of a "horizontal" net­ work of caring, concerned, accepting individuals. Rather than working out their revolution on the streets or at the barricades, these women call for equally radical change in the hearts, souls, and private lives of human beings. As witnessed by their focus on themes such as child abuse, oppressive child-rearing practices, irresponsible parenting, and the bond­ age of ignorance, their ideal society tends to be not an abstract political utopia, but a practical reality bright with opportunity for every human being, achievable through engaged caring on the part of each individual. It is because of the strength of this vision that we have selected "Im Nonnengarten" as the title story for this collection. The inhabitants of this neighborhood have, in their own way, actualized a society unified through care, help, and mutual consideration, no longer divided by rank, privilege, or money. Within this social space, divisions caused by the mercilessly competitive scramble to the top can be healed by the power of friendship, shared belief and goals, and a unity of spirit. lThose interested in a concise history of women's writing in German-speaking cultures should refer to Gisela Brinker-Gabler, "Einleitung," in Deutsche Dichterinnen vom 16. ]ahrhundert bis zur Gegenwart (Frankfurt am Main: Fischer Taschenbuch Ver­ lag, 1978); Katherine R. Goodman and Edith Waldstein, "Introduction," in In the Shadow if Olympus: German Women Writers around 1800, ed. Goodman and Waldstein (Albany: SUNY Press, 1992); and Susanne Zantop, "Trivial Pursuits? An Introduction to German Women's Writing from the Middle Ages to 1830," in Bitter Healing: German Women Writers 1700-1830, ed. Jeannine Blackwell and Susanne Zantop (Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 1990). Preface ix Another facet of these authors' concern with interpersonal relationships is the exploration of femininity and what it means to be a woman. Coming at a time when the Women's Movement was making its first halting gains, these narratives afford a glimpse into the struggles of women who seek to establish a new role for themselves, to transcend the traditional societal limi­ tations placed on them, and to enjoy a broader spectrum of experience, edu­ cation, and public involvement. With ever-changing nuance and insight, the texts explore traditional definitions of femininity and attempt to define a woman's personal, individual worth beyond her social or purely maternal roles and functions. Of course, an investigation of the nature of femininity is also an explo­ ration of masculinity. At times, the stories reveal a side of human behavior common among men but often not willingly acknowledged: arrogant, violent, authoritarian, exploitive of women. However, in addressing these aspects of traditional masculinity the texts also affirm other human charac­ teristics that society has often suppressed in men: sensitivity, the open expression of feelings, genuine caring, and quiet, moral strength.

  • Weaponized Humor: the Cultural Politics Of
    WEAPONIZED HUMOR: THE CULTURAL POLITICS OF TURKISH-GERMAN ETHNO-COMEDY by TIM HÖLLERING B.A. Georg-August Universität Göttingen, 2008 M.Ed., Georg-August Universität Göttingen, 2010 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Germanic Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) June 2016 © Tim Höllering, 2016 Abstract My thesis aims to show how the humor of Turkish-German ethno-comedians fulfills a double purpose of entertaining its audience while advancing a cultural political agenda that Kathrin Bower called “transnational humanism.” It includes notions of human rights consensus, critical self-reflection, respect, tolerance, and openness to cultural diversity. Promoting these values through comedy, the artists hope to contribute to abating prejudice and discrimination in Germany’s multi-ethnic society. Fusing the traditional theatrical principle of “prodesse et delectare” with contemporary cultural politics, these comedians produce something of political relevance: making their audience aware of its conceptions of “self” and “other” and fostering a sense of community across diverse cultural identifications. My thesis builds mainly on the works of Kathrin Bower, Maha El Hissy, Erol Boran, Deniz Göktürk, and Christie Davies. Whereas Davies denies humor’s potential for cultural impact, Göktürk elucidates its destabilizing power in immigrant films. Boran elaborates this function for Turkish-German Kabarett. El Hissy connects Kabarett, film, and theater of polycultural artists and ties them to Bakhtin’s concept of the carnivalesque and the medieval jester. Bower published several essays on the works of ethno-comedians as humorous catalysts for advancing a multiethnic Germany.

  • Elsa Bernstein's Dämmerung and the Long Shadow of Henrik Ibsen
    Birkbeck College University of London MA in Modern German Studies Elsa Bernstein’s Dämmerung and the long shadow of Henrik Ibsen Manfred Pagel Assessed essay (4000 words): April 2006 Core Course: History in German Literature Course Co-ordinator: Dr Anna Richards M. Pagel Introduction Nomen est omen. When the young Elsa Bernstein (1866-1949) decided to adopt a male pseudonym at an early stage of her writing career, as many women authors did in the late 19th century, she chose one that made an unmistakable allusion to the contemporary Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906). Her assumed nom de plume of “Ernst Rosmer” an “audible echo of Ibsen”1, clearly owed its invention to his play Rosmersholm2. In this way she signalled her literary affinity with the dominant themes and style (described as Naturalism) favoured by Ibsen during the 1880s and 1890s, when he was establishing his enduring reputation as a masterful writer of social drama. The pen-name, Susanne Kord writes, “defined her as a disciple of one of the major playwrights of her time and simultaneously allied her with the German naturalist movement, which was centrally indebted to Ibsen’s dramatic work”3. Bernstein’s five-act play Dämmerung4, originally published in 1893, will serve here as reference text in an attempt to explore some aspects of her subject matter and treatment that may be at least partly attributable to Ibsen’s influence. The characterisation of the two main female roles, in particular, will be considered because the evolving position of women in modern society and the related issue of feminist emancipation from traditional bourgeois constraints formed a recurring topic in Ibsen’s plays, such as A Doll’s House5, Hedda Gabler6, and Little Eyolf7.

Staging Memory: The Drama Inside the Language of Elfriede Jelinek Abstract This essay focuses on Jelinek's problematic relationship to her native Austria, as it is reflected in some of her most recent plays: Ein Sportstück (A Piece About Sports), In den Alpen (In the Alps) and Das Werk (The Plant). Taking her acceptance speech for the 2004 Nobel Prize for Literature as a starting point, my essay explores Jelinek's unique approach to her native language, which carries both the burden of historic guilt and the challenge of a distinguished, if tortured literary legacy. Furthermore, I examine the performative force of her language. Jelinek's "Dramas" do not unfold in action and dialogue, rather, they are embedded in the grammar itself.

  • Joseph Fouché
    Stefan Zweig Joseph Fouché Bildnis eines politischen Menschen Arthur Schnitzler in liebender Verehrung 2 Vorwort Joseph Fouché, einer der mächtigsten Männer seiner Zeit, einer der merkwürdigsten aller Zeiten, hat wenig Liebe gefunden bei seiner Mitwelt und noch weniger Gerechtigkeit bei der Nachwelt. Napoleon auf St. Helena, Robespierre bei den Jakobinern, Carnot, Barras, Talleyrand in ihren Memoiren, allen französischen Geschichtsschreibern, ob royalistisch, republikanisch oder bonapartistisch, läuft sofort Galle in die Feder, sobald sie nur seinen Namen hinschreiben. Geborener Verräter, armseliger Intrigant, glatte Reptiliennatur, gewerbsmäßiger Überläufer, niedrige Polizeiseele, erbärmlicher Immoralist – kein verächtliches Schimpfwort wird an ihm gespart, und weder Lamartine noch Michelet noch Louis Blanc versuchen ernstlich, seinem Charakter oder vielmehr seiner bewunderswert beharrlichen Charakterlosigkeit nachzuspüren. Zum erstenmal erscheint seine Gestalt in wirklichem Lebensumriß in jener monumentalen Biographie Louis Madelins (der diese wie jede andere Studie den Großteil ihres Tatsachenmaterials verdankt); sonst hat die Geschichte einen Mann, der innerhalb einer Weltwende alle Parteien geführt und als einziger sie überdauert, der im psychologischen Zweikampf einen Napoleon und einen Robespierre besiegte, ganz still in die rückwärtige Reihe der unbeträchtlichen Figuranten abgeschoben. Ab und zu geistert seine Gestalt noch durch ein Napoleonstück oder eine Napoleonoperette, aber dann meist in der abgegriffenen schematischen Charge des gerissenen Polizeiministers, eines vorausgeahnten Sherlock Holmes; flache Darstellung verwechselt ja immer eine Rolle des Hintergrunds mit einer Nebenrolle. Ein einziger hat diese einzigartige Figur groß gesehen aus seiner eigenen Größe, und zwar nicht der Geringste: Balzac. Dieser hohe und gleichzeitig durchdringende Geist, der nicht nur auf die Schaufläche der Zeit, sondern immer auch hinter die Kulissen blickte, hat rückhaltlos Fouché als den psychologisch interessantesten Charakter seines Jahrhunderts erkannt.

  • Whole Dissertation Hajkova 3
    Abstract This dissertation explores the prisoner society in Terezín (Theresienstadt) ghetto, a transit ghetto in the Protectorate Bohemia and Moravia. Nazis deported here over 140, 000 Czech, German, Austrian, Dutch, Danish, Slovak, and Hungarian Jews. It was the only ghetto to last until the end of Second World War. A microhistorical approach reveals the dynamics of the inmate community, shedding light on broader issues of ethnicity, stratification, gender, and the political dimension of the “little people” shortly before they were killed. Rather than relegating Terezín to a footnote in narratives of the Holocaust or the Second World War, my work connects it to Central European, gender, and modern Jewish histories. A history of victims but also a study of an enforced Central European society in extremis, instead of defining them by the view of the perpetrators, this dissertation studies Terezín as an autarkic society. This approach is possible because the SS largely kept out of the ghetto. Terezín represents the largest sustained transnational encounter in the history of Central Europe, albeit an enforced one. Although the Nazis deported all the inmates on the basis of their alleged Jewishness, Terezín did not produce a common sense of Jewishness: the inmates were shaped by the countries they had considered home. Ethnicity defined culturally was a particularly salient means of differentiation. The dynamics connected to ethnic categorization and class formation allow a deeper understanding of cultural and national processes in Central and Western Europe in the twentieth century. The society in Terezín was simultaneously interconnected and stratified. There were no stark contradictions between the wealthy and majority of extremely poor prisoners.

  • Images of the Golem in 20Th Century Austrian Literature
    HEIMAT'S SENTRY: IMAGES OF THE GOLEM IN 20TH CENTURY AUSTRIAN LITERATURE A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in German By Jason P. Ager, M.A. Washington, DC December 18, 2012 Copyright 2012 by Jason P. Ager All Rights Reserved ii HEIMAT'S SENTRY: IMAGES OF THE GOLEM IN 20TH CENTURY AUSTRIAN LITERATURE Jason P. Ager, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Peter C. Pfeiffer , Ph.D . ABSTRACT In his collection of essays titled Unheimliche Heimat , W.G. Sebald asserts that, "Es ist offenbar immer noch nicht leicht, sich in Österreich zu Hause zu fühlen, insbesondere wenn einem, wie in den letzten Jahren nicht selten, die Unheimlichkeit der Heimat durch das verschiedentliche Auftreten von Wiedergänger und Vergangenheitsgespenstern öfter als lieb ins Bewußtsein gerufen wird" (Sebald 15-16). Sebald's term "Gespenster" may have a quite literal application; it is unheimlich to note, after all, how often the Golem makes unsettling appearances in twentieth-century Austrian-Jewish literature, each time as a protector and guardian of specific communities under threat. These iterations and reinventions of the Golem tradition give credence to Sebald’s description of Heimat as an ambivalent and often conflicted space, even in a relatively homogenous community, because these portrayals of Heimat juxtapose elements of innocence and guilt, safety and threat, logic and irrationality. In the face of the Holocaust's reign of death and annihilation, it seems fitting that Austrian-Jewish writers reanimated a long- standing symbol of strength rooted in religious tradition to counter destruction and find meaning in chaos and unexampled brutality.
