Erich Fried—Jew, Humanist, Socialist—A Study of Opposing ‘Ich lebe in einem Vexierbild.

The present research concentrates on expressions of Fried’s identity or his sense of self in his work. Rather than being interpreted as a constant value, identity is perceived as fluid, expressed as a strategic positioning in one’s surroundings. It is postulated that various aspects of Fried’s identity appear in his work. Several traits coalesce to show one aspect or a combination of aspects, presenting an unexpected unity in disparity, as is shown throughout four core chapters. The kaleidoscopic blend of apparent inconsistencies and uncertainties becomes visible in the shape of different faces of Fried which shine through his work. This is indicated in the main proposition: the title of the thesis and the image of the ‘Vexierbild’ draw on Fried’s idea of ‘hidden faces’. The current thesis does not seek the author’s one ‘true face’ which possibly remains hidden under layers of traced and distorted circumlocutory accounts in his work, but rather captures the dynamic which drives the interchange between and metamorphosis of various components which contribute to the framework of Fried’s identity at different times of his life. The complexity of Fried’s identity in exile and its combined evidence in Fried’s literary and translation work is an aspect which has so far not been analysed. The findings reflect the main hypothesis—as suggested by the ‘Vexierbild’ image, aspects of Fried’s identity are complementary and opposing at times, dynamically and productively mirrored in his work. 4 Table of Contents: Introduction ................................................................................................................................................. 7 Chapter 1 Publications on Fried and Other Sources: A Survey of Academic Writings with a Focus on Erich Fried, Complemented by Personal Accounts and Archival Material ................................... 22 1.1.

  • Occidental Regionalism in the Nibelungenlied: Medieval Paradigms of Foreignness
    OCCIDENTAL REGIONALISM IN THE NIBELUNGENLIED: MEDIEVAL PARADIGMS OF FOREIGNNESS BY SHAWN ROBIN BOYD DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in German in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2010 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor C. Stephen Jaeger, Chair Professor Marianne Kalinke Associate Professor Frederick Schwink Associate Professor Laurie Johnson Associate Professor Carol Symes ii ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the issue of foreignness in the Nibelungenlied, raising questions about the nature, and crossing, of intra-Christian borders within the text that separate customs, practices, and worldviews. It analyzes cultural alterity and its attendant outcomes in the first half of the Nibelungenlied using concepts from anthropology and cultural and sociological theory. The dissertation argues that multiple levels of foreignness, as defined by the philosopher Bernd Waldenfels, separate characters in the Nibelungenlied. Despite their varying origins, these instances of alienation all have a common result: a lack of a complete picture of the world for individual characters and the prevention of close human connections that would allow intentions and motivations to be divined. Characters’ imperfect understandings of their surroundings are fostered by their foreignness and drive many of the conflicts in the text, including Siegfried’s verbal clash with the Burgundians when he first arrives in Worms, Brünhild’s entanglement with Gunther and Siegfried, and the argument between Kriemhild and Brünhild. In addition, this dissertation argues that the constant interaction with the foreign undergone by the court at Worms leads to a change in its culture away from one which sees appearance and reality as one and the same to one that takes advantage of the power granted by a newfound ability to separate Sein from Schein.

He stud- ied German and English literature as well as European history and philosophy at the universities in Tübingen and Munich from 1954 to 1960, concluding his studies with a dissertation on the Austrian novelist Hermann Broch’s great novel The Death of Vergil. Although he could not know it at the time, this work foretold Walter’s eventual move to Princeton, where Broch had written much of the novel while living in the home of Erich and Lillie von Kahler on Evelyn Place. Walter worked as the director of the academic division of the Piper Verlag, a prominent publishing house in Munich, from 1961 through 1966, when he accept- ed a position as an assistant professor at Pennsylvania State University. After three years at Penn State, he was appointed associate professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Following a year as visiting pro- fessor at Stanford University in 1970–71, he was appointed professor of German at the University of Maryland–College Park.

  • 9. Rache, Vergeltung, Strafe
    9. RACHE, VERGELTUNG, STRAFE Uns, Herr, uns lass das alte Schwert ausgraben! Lass Stahl in jedes Mannes Hände tauen! Die Frauen dürfen leere Hände haben – und nicht einmal die Frauen. Friedrich Torberg „Rebellen-Gebet“ (Übersetzung des anonymen Ge- dichtes Nad Hrobkou Českých Kralů - „An der Grabstätte der Böhmischen Könige“) Rache, Vergeltung, Strafe 1215 Rache und Vergeltung entsprachen 1944/46 einem „tiefen Bedürfnis“ vieler Einwohner Europas, die deutsche Besatzungs-, Deportations- und Vernichtungs- politik erlitten hatten. Denn eine Mehrheit von Europäern hatte den Zweiten Welt- krieg nicht am militärischen Schlachtfeld erlebt, sondern als Kriegsgefangene, Zwangsarbeiter und KZ-Insassen, aber auch als Partisanen, Kollaborateure und „Mitläufer“. „In the annals of history, however, never have so many people been caught up in the process of collaboration, resistance, and retribution as in Europe during and after the Second Wolrd War.“ Aber auch die „tägliche Demütigung“ sollte nicht unterschätzt werden, denn: „Männer und Frauen wurden verraten und erniedrigt, tagtäglich zu kleinen Gesetzwidrigkeiten genötigt, bei denen jeder et- was und viele alles verloren“.2504 Beim Vormarsch der Roten Armee nach Ost- und Westpreußen, Pommern und Schlesien, nach Mähren und Böhmen, in die Slowakei und nach Ungarn, durch den Banat, die Batschka und die Baranya, beim Vormarsch der jugoslawischen Partisanen durch die Vojvodina, Kroatien und Slowenien, bei der Evakuierung der Karpatendeutschen, beim Prager Aufstand, dem Brünner „Todesmarsch“ und dem Aussiger Pogrom, nicht zuletzt bei der Übernahme der neuen polnischen Westgebiete, ließen nicht nur sowjetische Soldaten, sondern auch polnische und tschechische Soldaten, Milizionäre und „Revolutionsgarden“, serbische, kroati- sche und slowenische Partisanen, sogar „Zivilisten“ aller Art, ihren Hassgefühlen gegenüber „den Deutschen“ freien Lauf.

  • Peter Schneider's Never-Ending Reflections on the »Mauer«-Metaphor
    Paul Michael Lützeler Peter Schneider’s Never-Ending Reflections on the »Mauer«-Metaphor The most famous of all of Peter Schneider’s quotes is a line in his book Der Mauerspringer (The Wall Jumper). It reads: »Die Mauer im Kopf einzureißen wird länger dauern, als irgendein Abrißunternehmen für die sichtbare Mauer braucht«.1 The wall in our head, the wall in our imagination: that is a meta- phor for prejudices, for blindness to reality, for intellectual laziness. Peter Schneider’s aesthetic and ethical aim has always been to tear down the walls in our minds, as one can easily tell when one remembers his essays and nar- ratives. As a student activist in the 1960s, he wanted to tear down the wall that existed between students and professors, or rather students and the university administration; and with his first narrative work, Lenz (1973)2 he made us aware of the wall in our head regarding the difference between theory and practice, dogma and emotion, object and subject, presence and future. Schneider’s ›Berlin tetralogy‹3 anticipated the disappearance of the Berlin Wall – the sym- bol of the division between East and West Germany. He told stories about average (or not so average) individuals who tried to ignore or overcome the Berlin Wall. Two years after the Berlin Wall was built in 1961, a young East German author, Christa Wolf, published a book with the title Der geteilte Himmel4 (Divided Heaven). That novel deals with the love relationship of two young people, Manfred and Rita, and with Manfred’s flight to West Germany.

  • '“Psyche Among Friends”. Michael Hamburger's BBC
    ‘Psyche among friends’: Michael Hamburger’s BBC radio broadcasts Axel Goodbody [Prepublication manuscript for German-Speaking Exiles in Great Britain (Yearbook of the Research Centre for German and Austrian Exile Studies 3), edited by J. Ritchie, Rodopi 2001, 87-104.] Unlike other German and Austrian émigrés who worked for the BBC German Service during the Second World War, Michael Hamburger only came to the BBC in 1949. Nearly all his broadcasts have been in English, on the Third Programme. For over thirty years, his talks on German writers and translations of German poetry and drama helped change British attitudes towards German literature. Radio work, by nature ephemeral, has been neglected in accounts of Hamburger’s life and work. Struck by Apollo, a dramatised biography of Hölderlin broadcast in 1965, shares central concerns with Hamburger’s poetry, criticism and autobiography. From propaganda to culture: émigrés in the BBC The part played by émigrés in the BBC has been a subject of growing interest, but recent research has not unnaturally focused on the German Service during the war years.1 The BBC German Service, which closed down in March 1999 after sixty years of broadcasting, was a valuable source of income for German and Austrian émigré writers, actors and musicians in the years during and after the Second World War. Many were employed as readers, performers, announcers or translators, some as editors and producers. A few were given scope for self-expression in commissioned programmes or series. Bruno Adler (who published under the pseudonym Urban Roedl), Carl Brinitzer, Robert Ehrenzweig (known as Robert Lucas), Hans Flesch-Brunningen, Richard Friedenthal, Sebastian Haffner, Karl Otten and Walter Rilla are among those whose input has been written about by themselves and others.
