By reading contemporary literature in connection with philosophical, psychological, and theoretical works, new problem areas of the liberal promise of recognition become visible. Tied to assumptions of cultural essentialism, language use, and prejudice, one of the main findings of this work is how the recognition process is closely tied to narrative. Particularly within developmental psychology it is often argued that we learn and come to terms with ourselves through narrative.

People here never think and act as they should! Locked away in a dimly lit cellar in a provincial Polish town, the writer Bruno Schulz is composing a letter to Thomas Mann, warning him of a sinister impostor who has deceived the gullible inhabitants of Drohobycz. In return, he's hoping that the great writer might help him to escape - from his apocalyptic visions, his bird-brained students, the imminent Nazi invasion, and a sadistic sports mistress called Helena. In Inside the Head of Bruno Schulz, Biller blends biographical fact with surreal fiction to recreate the world as seen through the eyes of one of the most original writers of the twentieth century.

  • Russian Women Writers 1 Migration to Germany
    HANNES KRAUSS* Universität Duisburg-Essen German Novels – Russian Women Writers 1 Migration to Germany – this theme dominates political debate today, and not just in Germany. I’d like to look back on an earlier and smaller wave of migration to Germany. Between 1991 and 2004 some two hundred and twenty thousand Jewish immigrants settled in Germany from the succession states of the Soviet Union. As so-called ‘quota refugees’ these people did not need to make a formal application for asylum, but were allowed – on the basis of a decision of the interior ministers (home secretaries) of the German Länder – to settle at once. Almost none of these migrants spoke German, and yet in the meantime an unusually high number of them have gained a place within German literature. Vladimir Kaminer – author of Russian Disco – is probably the best known, but today I would like to concentrate on some of the women writers, who, though less prominent in the literary scene, actually write better books. Another migrant – Maxim Biller, born 1960 in Prague and settled in Germany in 1970, a well-known journalist and somewhat less successful novelist – recently published in Die Zeit a strong attack on immigrant writers: „Seit der Vertreibung der Juden aus der deutschen Literatur durch die Nationalsozialisten waren die deutschen Schriftsteller, Kritiker und Verleger jahrzehntelang fast nur noch unter sich. […] Die Abwesenheit der jüdischen Ruhestörer tut unserer Literatur nicht gut, sie wird immer selbstbezogener, dadurch kraftloser und provinzieller.“ And the immigrant writers merely, in Biller’s words, „[passen] sich sehr früh […] der herrschenden Ästhetik und Themenwahl an“; their lives as migrants are * Open Access Copyright License: cb Creative Commons Attribution 4.0.

  • Ich-Diskurse in Maxim Billers Prosa
    10 Das Buch hat die Darstellung deutsch-jüdischer Identität in ausgewählten Pro- satexten des zeitgenössischen, deutsch-jüdischen Autors Maxim Biller zum Pegisha - Begegnung Thema. Seit 1989 ist jüdisches Leben in Deutschland „sichtbarer“ und hetero- gener geworden. Das liegt maßgeblich an der veränderten Selbstrepräsentation vieler jüngerer Juden. In und mit seinen Texten Der gebrauchte Jude (2009), Jüdische Studien Esra (2003), Die Tochter (2000) und seinen Kurzgeschichten (1990/1994) bricht Maxim Biller – der kontroverseste Vertreter der sogenannten Zweiten Herausgegeben von Dorothee Gelhard Generation – mit den Tabus, die den Diskurs über deutsch-jüdische Identität nach wie vor bestimmen. Wie, warum und mit welchen Effekten er das macht, analysiert die Autorin mithilfe von Michel Foucaults Diskurstheorie und Judith Butlers Theorie der Performativität. 10 Bettina Codrai Ich-Diskurse in Maxim Billers Prosa Bettina Codrai studierte Literatur- und Geschichtswissenschaften an der Hum- boldt-Universität Berlin und der Universität Fribourg (Schweiz).

  • Consuming Identities: German-Jewish Performativity After the “Schoah”
    CONSUMING IDENTITIES: GERMAN-JEWISH PERFORMATIVITY AFTER THE “SCHOAH” David Brenner I. Kafka and Kitsch Even though Franz Kafka (1883–1924) is better known as a modernist writer of the highest caliber, he was also fond of popular culture, espe- cially the cinema. While many artists and intellectuals seemed almost to fear the new medium, Kafka was virtually obsessed with it.1 In time, going to the movies became the escapist activity for this (at times rather ascetic) writer. Film was able to tear him away from his desk, from the fever of literature, from writing as “a form of prayer.”2 Kafka even incorporated the newer media into his fi ction. Preferring the cinema and popular Yiddish theater to the “legitimate” drama, Kafka moved from Prague to Berlin in the fi nal years of his life, referring to the lat- ter’s “easy life, great opportunities [and] pleasurable diversions.”3 One might say the same of Maxim Biller, the contemporary German Jewish writer also born in Prague (in 1960) and now living in Berlin. In this chapter on Jewish cultural consumption in the new Germany, I examine a specifi c set of representations from Biller’s middlebrow fi ctions. One of the best-known contemporary writers in Germany, where he has resided since the age of 10, Biller is a celebrated and often reviewed author, a master of the short story form. Yet he also has written weekly for the Sunday magazine of the Frankfurter Allge- meine, has produced CDs of music and has an Internet presence on myspace.com.

  • Contemporary German-Jewish Writing and Publishing in Germany
    Contemporary German-Jewish writing and publishing in Germany 2005 AJL Annual Convention Oakland, CA Tuesday, June 21, 2005 Session VII-4 1:45 pm – 3:15 pm Speaker: Renate Evers Leo Baeck Institute, NY [email protected] My topic is contemporary German-Jewish writers and publishing in present-day Germany. The presentation will give a selective overview of a new generation of Jewish authors and publishing in Germany today. In 1945 it was unimaginable to many that there could ever be another Jewish community in Germany. The Jewish community was destroyed that had existed before the war. The devastation that European Jews suffered at the hands of Nazi Germany and its collaborators was on such a horrifying scale that it seemed neither possible nor desirable for Jews to remain among Germans. 1But the fact is that a solid, thriving community developed over the last decades with its own institutions, a diverse cultural life, a growing self-confidence, and a voice that is heard frequently on a wide range of topics. 2 The Jewish community in today’s Germany is still a fraction of the size of the prewar community of about 570,000 Jews. Today an estimated 120.000 German citizen of Jewish descend live in Germany, and it is one of the fastest growing Jewish communities worldwide. 88.000 were registered members of the Jewish community in 2004. Jews are not counted as minorities and do not show up in statistics about foreigners in Germany, because, for the most part, they are German citizens. 3 The majority of the members of the Jewish community are no longer Jews of German ancestry.

LOCAL JEWS, RUSSIAN IMMIGRANTS, AND ISRAELI JEWS IN BERLIN AND ACROSS GERMANY Dani Kranz ABSTRACT It goes against the intuition of some, triggers strong responses from others, and still raises the eyebrows of many: not only did Jewish Displaced Persons (DPs) and German Jews withstand attempts to entice them to make aliyah from Germany post-Shoah and become "local Jews," but also Russian Jews immi- grated in higher numbers to Germany than to Israel for a while, and now Israeli Jews are immigrating to Germany, too. Yet do Jews in Germany see themselves in exile from Israel, or has Germany become their home of choice? This paper explores the life-worlds of a select number of individuals who fall into the age cohort of the Third Generation, and who form part of the three numerically largest groups: German Jews and Displaced Persons (DPs) and their descen- dants ("local Jews"); Russian Jews and their children who came to Germany in the 1990s; and Israelis who started arriving in significant numbers in the 2000s. By depicting their life-worlds, the paper sheds light onto how Jews in the country structure, live, do, experience, and contend their Jewishness col- lectiveness, and express Jewishnessess individually, and how, effectively, they create diasporic life-worlds, and have a special relationship to Israel but hardly feel in exile from Israel.
