  • GERMAN MASQUERADE Part 4
    Beyond Alexanderplatz ALFRED DÖBLIN GERMAN MASQUERADE WRITINGS ON POLITICS, LIFE, AND LITERATURE IN CHAOTIC TIMES Part 4: Literature Edited and translated by C.D. Godwin https://beyond-alexanderplatz.com Alfred Döblin (10 August 1878 – 26 June 1957) has only slowly become recognised as one of the greatest 20th century writers in German. His works encompass epic fictions, novels, short stories, political essays and journalism, natural philosophy, the theory and practice of literary creation, and autobiographical excursions. His many-sided, controversial and even contradictory ideas made him a lightning-conductor for the philosophical and political confusions that permeated 20th century Europe. Smart new editions of Döblin’s works appear every decade or two in German, and a stream of dissertations and major overviews reveal his achievements in more nuanced ways than earlier critiques polarised between hagiography and ignorant dismissal. In the Anglosphere Döblin remains known, if at all, for only one work: Berlin Alexanderplatz. Those few of his other works that have been translated into English are not easily found. Hence publishers, editors and critics have no easy basis to evaluate his merits, and “because Döblin is unknown, he shall remain unknown.” Döblin’s non-fiction writings provide indispensable glimpses into his mind and character as he grapples with catastrophes, confusions and controversies in his own life and in the wider world of the chaotic 20th century. C. D. Godwin translated Döblin’s first great epic novel, The Three Leaps of Wang Lun, some 30 years ago (2nd ed. NY Review Books 2015). Since retiring in 2012 he has translated four more Döblin epics (Wallenstein, Mountains Oceans Giants, Manas, and The Amazonas Trilogy) as well as numerous essays.

  • Why Adolf Hitler's Psychiatric Treatment at the End Of
    Review article Deconstructing the myth of Pasewalk: Why Adolf Hitler’s psychiatric treatment at the end of World War I bears no relevance JAN ARMBRUSTER1, PETER THEISS-ABENDROTH2 1 Klinik für Forensische Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie, Helios Hanseklinikum Stralsund, Stralsund, Germany. 2 Touro College Berlin, Berlin, Germany. Received: 9/15/2015 – Accepted: 6/11/2016 DOI: 10.1590/0101-60830000000085 Abstract Background: Even more than 70 years after the end of WW II, questions regarding the personality of dictator Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) remain unresolved. Among them, there is a focus on the problem of his state of mental health, in particular on the possible relevance of the medical treatment he received for a war injury at the military hospital of the small German town of Pasewalk in the last days of WW I. Some authors have come to postulate a profound change of his personality due either to a psychic trauma suffered or a hypnotic therapy he supposedly underwent for curing a hysterical blindness. Objectives: The assump- tions about Hitler’s war injury which rely on only two significant sources shall be assessed for their validity. Methods: Existing historical sources and inferred hypotheses will be discussed in the light of alternative interpretations. Results: The mentioned suppositions reveal their highly arbitrary character: neither a hysterical blindness of Hitler’s nor a hypnotic treatment at Pasewalk military hospital can be substantiated. Discussion: Given the fact that Hitler’s medical sheet is most likely irrevocably lost, the authors plea for the acceptance of the limitations of historical research, even more so since the occurrences in Pasewalk lack any deeper importance for a historic assessment of Hitler’s personality.

  • In Transit: Placelessness and the Absurd in the Writings
    In Transit: Placelessness and the Absurd in the Writings of Anna Seghers Gerry Kearns Maynooth University The structure of feeling that has been called the absurd suggests a placeless and irrational world. Yet such a structure of feeling is sometimes produced in response to quite a specific context. This essay considers the way absurdity arises and is treated within Anna Seghers’s Transit, a novel about the plight of refugees from Nazi Germany trying to leave unoccupied France after the signing of the Armistice between France and Germany in June 1940. The essay explores the treatment of space and time in the novel and suggests that there is a significant distinction between absurdity as resignation and absurdity as dissent. The essay also claims that absurdity is explicitly countered in the novel in the pursuit of a politics of responsibility and a resistance in solidarity. Key Words: Absurd, Walter Benjamin, Georg Lukács, Placelessness, Refugees, Anna Seghers PLACELESSNESS, OBJECTIVITY, AND THE ABSURD In an essay on two of Doris Lessing’s novels, Seamon (1981, 85) suggests that works of imaginative literature may provide “a testing ground” for examining phenomenological insights about “at-homeness” as “an essential aspect of human existence”. Seamon looks at some characters who are seemingly attached to place and others who feel dissevered from the pathways of local social reproduction and existential security. In Seamon’s essay two varieties of placelessness (Relph 1976) are described. The first is that of the spatial dislocation of the foreigner yet to learn local ways sufficient to invest locality with the love that may come with familiarity.

We are delighted to welcome you to the 39th year of Holocaust Education Week. As you flip through this year’s guide, you will see that our programs curated around the theme, The Holocaust and Now, appear to have been “torn from the headlines.” With so much social, cultural and political turmoil occurring globally, we find ourselves discussing the relationship between the Holocaust and what is happening around us today. It is both timely and necessary for HEW to address our current zeitgeist–the rise of global antisemitism, denial, hate crimes, both online and in our own neighbourhoods, a reckoning with difficult aspects of our Canadian past; and conversely, an examination of how the legacy of the Holocaust has inspired positivity, action and change.

  • KAREL WASSERMANN (Prague, SSR) Some Observations on The
    KAREL WASSERMANN (Prague, �SSR) Some Observations on the Prague Circle Margarita Pazi. Fünf Autoren des Prager Kreises. "Würzburger Hochschul- schriften zur neuren Deutschen Literaturgeschichte, Bd. 3." Frankfurt am Main: Peter Lang, 1978. 315 pp. sFr. 55,-(paper). The five authors considered in this work are Oskar Baum (1883-1941 ), Paul Kornfeld (1889-1942), Ernst Sommer (1889-1955), Ernst Weiss (1884- 1940), and Ludwig Winder (1889-1946)-all well known to those familiar with the literature of interwar German-Jewish Prague, and all connected, as their life and death dates show, by strong chronological affinities. In review- ing this book I will sidestep most of the literary text in order to concentrate on the key sixty pages headed by the phrase, "The Prague of the 'Prague Cir- " cle' (hereafter abbreviated as P.C.). This chapter is so intriguing that I am grateful for the opportunity to say something about this controversial theme. Mrs. Margarita Pazi has set for herself the task of revising (or completing) the memoirs of Max Brod, which were published in 1968 when he was eighty- four years old. What is evident, alas !, is her complete devotion to Brod, to his idiosyncrasies and feuds, and her indiscriminate reliance upon "widow's tales" (see her Acknowledgments) and her nostalgia for the German-Jewish cultural milieu of Prague. To discuss Austria-Hungary, "the kettle of nations," and particularly the "Prague" phenomenon in this context reminds one of Venice, the city of lagoons. The national, religious, social, and cultural factors are labyrinthine. The author seems adroit at posing questions, staging the scene, and demon- strating the controversiality of the protagonists.

  • SUSI EISENBERG-BACH Dutch Publishers of German Exile Literature Without Any Exile Publishers There Could Exist No Exile Literatu
    SUSI EISENBERG-BACH Dutch publishers of German exile literature Without any exile publishers there could exist no exile literature, that is the literature in German language outside of Germany between 1933 and 1950. Those books that could no longer be printed in Germany were at first pub- lished in Austria and then also in Switzerland, in France, in England, in Sweden and above all in the Netherlands. At that time, books in German were also printed in Russia, Czechoslovakia as well as in North and Latin America. The most intense publishing activity, however, took place in Holland. Already in April 1933-even before the burning of the books in Berlin and other German cities which happened on 10 May 1933-Querido and Allert de Lange began their activity. It was Emanuel Querido himself who took the initiative. In April 1933 the translator Nico Rost visited, in the name of Emanuel Querido, Fritz Helmut Landshoff who was then still living in Berlin. He was one of the directors of the publishing firm Kiepenheuer. Rost asked Landshoff whether he was willing to direct a publishing department for German books in Amsterdam. He explained that Querido had the intention to print literary works by German-speaking authors, literary as well as other works which were forbidden in Germany, as a new department of his Dutch publishing firm. For Landshoff this proposition came like a gift from heaven because he could no longer stay in his apartment which had been searched by the Nazis a few days before. Therefore, after Rost's visit, he took the night train to Amsterdam and already on the day of his arrival in Amster- dam everything was settled and Landshoff became the director of the Ger- man department of Emanuel Querido Uitgeversmaatschappij at the Keizersgracht.
