Intergenerational Translations in Uwe Timm's Am Beispiel Meines Bruders
Mélanie Yœurp Intergenerational Translations in Uwe Timm’s Am Beispiel meines Bruders Abstract: Uwe Timm’s autobiographical novel Am Beispiel meines Bruders (2003) epitomizes the wave of family narratives published in Germany around the turn of the millennium. Indeed, many scholars have noted that the narrator exhibits a nuanced and empathetic approach to his family’s Nazi legacy. This article proble- matizes Timm’s nuanced tone. I argue that he adopts different narrative strategies to discuss his brother, who volunteered for the SS-Totenkopfdivision at eighteen years of age, and his mother, who remains unnamed throughout the novel. Draw- ing on Itamar Even-Zohar’s polysystem theory of translation, and more specifi- cally on his concept of conservative and innovative repertoires, I argue that Timm translates stories about members of the war generation in a differentiated way, thereby producing distinct effects in each case. More specifically, I demonstrate that the narrator creates a rupture with his brother, subjecting his choice of words to scrutiny and following in the footsteps of the well-established Väterliteratur of the 1970s to the 1980s. Conversely, Timm strengthens his affiliation with his mother by avoiding an overly critical examination of her, focusing instead on her use of non-verbal and non-politically loaded language. Keywords: family history, gender, generations, memory, Nazism, Uwe Timm Uwe Timm’s autobiographical novel Am Beispiel meines Bruders (2014 [2003]) de- licately assesses family members involved in World War II as Nazi perpetrators and bystanders. Like many family narratives published in Germany around 2000, the narrator displays a “more measured understanding” (Finlay 2009, 202).1 While Timm empathizes with his family’s war sufferings, he exposes its pre- judice and connects it to German complicity, using a montage technique to attain this effect (Rossbacher 2005). -

Art and the Politics of Recollection in the Autobiographical Narratives of Stefan Zweig and Klaus Mann
Naharaim 2014, 8(2): 210–226 Uri Ganani and Dani Issler The World of Yesterday versus The Turning Point: Art and the Politics of Recollection in the Autobiographical Narratives of Stefan Zweig and Klaus Mann “A turning point in world history!” I hear people saying. “The right moment, indeed, for an average writer to call our attention to his esteemed literary personality!” I call that healthy irony. On the other hand, however, I wonder if a turning point in world history, upon careful consideration, is not really the moment for everyone to look inward. Thomas Mann, Reflections of a Nonpolitical Man1 Abstract: This article revisits the world-views of Stefan Zweig and Klaus Mann by analyzing the diverse ways in which they shaped their literary careers as autobiographers. Particular focus is given to the crises they experienced while composing their respective autobiographical narratives, both published in 1942. Our re-evaluation of their complex discussions on literature and art reveals two distinctive approaches to the relationship between aesthetics and politics, as well as two alternative concepts of authorial autonomy within society. Simulta- neously, we argue that in spite of their different approaches to political involve- ment, both authors shared a basic understanding of art as an enclave of huma- nistic existence at a time of oppressive political circumstances. However, their attitudes toward the autonomy of the artist under fascism differed greatly. This is demonstrated mainly through their contrasting portrayals of Richard Strauss, who appears in both autobiographies as an emblematic genius composer.

Klaus Mann's Mephisto: A Secret Rivalry Abstract Critics of the 1960s and 1970s have focused their attention on Klaus Mann's use of his former brother-in- law, Gustaf Gründgens, as the model for the hero of his controversial novel, Mephisto, while more recent critics have emphasized its significance as a work of anti-Fascist literature. This essay seeks to resolve some of the apparent contradictions in Klaus Mann's motivation for writing Mephisto by viewing the novel primarily in the context of his life and career. Although Mephisto is the only political satire that Klaus Mann wrote, it is consistent with his life-long tendency to use autobiographical material as the basis for much of his plot and characterization. Mann transformed his ambivalent feelings about Gründgens, which long antedated the writing of Mephisto, into a unique work of fiction which simultaneously expresses his indignation over the moral bankruptcy of the Third Reich and reveals his envy of Gründgens's career successes. -
Temporality, Subjectivity and Postcommunism in Contemporary German Literature by Herta Müller, Zsuzsa Bánk and Terézia Mora
PASTS WITH FUTURES: TEMPORALITY, SUBJECTIVITY AND POSTCOMMUNISM IN CONTEMPORARY GERMAN LITERATURE BY HERTA MÜLLER, ZSUZSA BÁNK AND TERÉZIA MORA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Katrina Louise Nousek May 2015 © 2015 Katrina Louise Nousek PASTS WITH FUTURES: TEMPORALITY, SUBJECTIVITY AND POSTCOMMUNISM IN CONTEMPORARY GERMAN LITERATURE BY HERTA MÜLLER, ZSUZSA BÁNK AND TERÉZIA MORA Katrina Louise Nousek, Ph. D. Cornell University 2015 This dissertation analyzes future-oriented narrative features distinguishing German literature about European communism and its legacies. Set against landscapes marked by Soviet occupation and Ceauşescu’s communist dictatorship in Romania (Müller) and against the 1956 Hungarian revolution, eastern European border openings, and post-Wende Berlin (Mora, Bánk), works by these transnational authors engage social legacies that other discourses relegate to an inert past after the historic rupture of 1989. Dominant scholarship reads this literature either through trauma theory or according to autobiography, privileging national histories and static cultural identities determined by the past. Shifting attention to complex temporal structures used to narrate literary subjectivities, I show how these works construct European futures that are neither subsumed into a homogeneous present, nor trapped in traumatic repetition, nostalgic longing, or psychic disavowal. My analysis extends and contributes to debates in politics and the arts about the status of utopia after communism and the role of society in political entities no longer divided in Cold War terms of East/West, three worlds, or discrete national cultures. By focusing on Müller, Mora and Bánk, I widen the purview of FRG-GDR discussions about communism to include transnational, temporal and narrative perspectives that scholarship on these authors often overlooks. -

In the Shadow of the Family Tree: Narrating Family History in Väterliteratur and the Generationenromane Jennifer S. Cameron Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 2012 Jennifer S. Cameron All rights reserved ABSTRACT In the Shadow of the Family Tree: Narrating Family History in Väterliteratur and the Generationenromane Jennifer S. Cameron While debates over the memory and representation of the National Socialist past have dominated public discourse in Germany over the last forty years, the literary scene has been the site of experimentation with the genre of the autobiography, as authors developed new strategies for exploring their own relationship to the past through narrative. Since the late 1970s, this experimentation has yielded a series of autobiographical novels which focus not only on the authors’ own lives, but on the lives and experiences of their family members, particularly those who lived during the NS era. In this dissertation, I examine the relationship between two waves of this autobiographical writing, the Väterliteratur novels of the late 1970s and 1980s in the BRD, and the current trend of multi-generational family narratives which began in the late 1990s. In a prelude and three chapters, this dissertation traces the trajectory from Väterliteratur to the Generationenromane through readings of Bernward Vesper’s Die Reise (1977), Christoph Meckel’s Suchbild. Über meinen Vater (1980), Ruth Rehmann’s Der Mann auf der Kanzel (1979), Uwe Timm’s Am Beispiel meines Bruders (2003), Stephan Wackwitz’s Ein unsichtbares Land (2003), Monika Maron’s Pawels Briefe (1999), and Barbara Honigmann’s Ein Kapitel aus meinem Leben (2004). -
“Literatura Chamisso”, a Literatura Alemã Proposta Por Não-Alemães
revista landa Vol. 5 N° 1 (2016) “Literatura Chamisso”, a literatura alemã proposta por não-alemães 604 Werner Heidermann Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina A força de uma língua não está em rejeitar o estrangeiro, mas em devorá-lo. Goethe Elena Ferrante escreve numa entrevista concedida à revista alemã Der Spiegel: Os grandes livros que vão surgir a partir dos movimentos migratórios contarão torturas horríveis e difíceis reformações. De lá chegarão histórias extraordinárias de tal forma que nós não sabemos mais como delineá- las. Mesmo escritas nas línguas dos países de destino, eu posso imaginar e espero muito que os traços das línguas de origem hão de permanecer identificáveis nessas histórias. (FERRANTE, 2016, p. 114)1 O que Ferrante2 coloca tão ostensivamente no futuro (a alta frequência das formas do futuro é rara em alemão), na verdade já está acontecendo: sim, temos grandes livros a partir dos movimentos 1 Original: “Die großen Bücher, die aus den Migrationsbewegungen entstehen werden, werden von schrecklichen Qualen und schwierigen Neugründungen erzählen. Von dort werden außergewöhnliche Geschichten kommen, wie wir sie nicht mehr entwerfen können. Selbst wenn sie in den Sprachen der Ankunftsländer geschrieben sein werden, kann ich mir vorstellen und hoffe ich, dass in ihnen die Spuren der Herkunftssprachen erkennbar bleiben werden.” 2 Ignoramos aqui a discussão a respeito da identidade da autora. revista landa Vol. 5 N° 1 (2016) migratórios, sim, eles relatam torturas horríveis e reformações difíceis, sim, vêm histórias extraordinárias que a gente não é mais capaz de delinear e criar, sim, são contadas nas línguas dos países de destino, e, finalmente, sim, têm traços das línguas de origem. -
