ABSTRACT Christa Wolf, a GDR intellectual, was discredited as a writer after German Unification. In 1990, she was at the center of a controversy that started around her publication of a novel titled Was bleibt (What remains). The controversy expanded to consider more generally the role of the Stasi (secret police) in GDR culture and affected in particular the generation of GDR writers born around 1930, who were not dissidents, and had not left the country in the 40 years of its existence. Prior to the demise of the GDR, Wolf’s stories, novels and essays, as well as her political interventions during 1989, were highly considered for their moral and political standing and she was regarded, especially by feminist and progressive intellectuals, as one of the few women intellectuals of the 20th century, among the likes of Simone de Beauvoir and Hannah Arendt. As a response to the controversy around Christa Wolf, my dissertation attempts to understand Wolf less as an isolated “writer” than as an “effect” of political and cultural discourse about the GDR in the Federal Republic of Germany prior to unification and in united Germany after 1989. However, my investigations also take into consideration Wolf’s own opinions about her role as intellectual active in the GDR, as well as her explicit pacifist and feminist positions, which she enunciated in both essays and her literature. Thus, I play the writer’s own ‘self-reflective’ texts over and against the texts that made Wolf first into the banner of an alternative socialism and second, after the Wende, into the target of conservative accusations. Her literature was suddenly regarded as bad, moralistic, writing. In short, I try to answer the question: how is it possible that one writer’s literature is praised universally as “critical” one moment, and denigrated as banal and simply moralistic the next? David Bathrick’s The Powers of Speech deals with similar issues from a Foucaultian perspective. In particular, Bathrick engages language and discourse in the GDR. He focuses on the notion of a literary public sphere in the GDR, the meaning of socialist public intellectuals, and the distinctions between dissidence and the GDR intellectuals’ opposition to a stultified party system. Bathrick’s study helped me elaborate the main framework of my dissertation. Two questions specifically guide my approach to Wolf: i.) How could Wolf’s texts operate within and without the GDR as critical while at the same time be socialist - and thus have the approval of the state? ii.) How and to what extent could Wolf’s dissidence be constructed in non-socialist countries and, also, to a limited extent, within the GDR State? Accordingly, my dissertation has two parts. Part One deals with Wolf’s own understanding of the function of literature and its relation to socialism. As a case in point I analyze her 1968 novel Nachdenken über Christa T. Part Two studies literary critical responses to Wolf’s work more extensively, including more recent texts, in different time periods and different places. In particular I look at the GDR, the FRG, the USA and post 1989 Germany. Here, I look specifically at the role and function of feminism in both Wolf’s texts and the reception of Wolf. My dissertation, unlike Bathrick’s work, focuses iii on the specificity of the case of a woman intellectual, both a socialist and a feminist. Ultimately, the dissertation makes a point that this is the difference that constitutes the case “Wolf.” The dissertation argues that Wolf understood literature as a means to uncover “the blind spot” of the subject first and of culture second. This act of “uncovering” is the first step on the way to find healing for past traumas (fascism, for example) and, hence, to make changes (improve real existing socialism). In Wolf’s notion of “the blind spot”, priority is given to the repression and exclusion of values associated with the feminine “space,” a space left out of dominant culture or the history of the victors. This could be seen as Wolf’s feminist critique of universal (bourgeois) values, including the notions of the theoretical intellectual proposed by Julien Benda and Pierre Bourdieu. Moreover, Wolf’s focus on a feminine space of culture from which to critique instrumental reason, the blind spot of Western civilization, and from which to imagine an alternative mythology, also helps expose the insufficiency of Bathrick’s mode of analysis. For example, I argue that no matter how exhaustive his analysis of the socialist public intellectual in the GDR is, his work (like Foucault’s) does not do justice to Wolf’s case due to its lack of a gender perspective. In Wolf’s case, a feminist/gendered approach does enrich our understanding of the concept of the intellectual. In effect, her critical involvement with society was always the product of socialism with a feminist accent. However, it seems that in the reception of her texts, feminism and socialism have been dissociated. Wolf’s commitment to socialism - an important aspect in Wolf’s political engagement as an intellectual - was largely ignored by feminist critics in the FRG and the US. Wolf is very often put into a Western theoretical discourse about feminism and her works are read only as embodiment of the wide-ranging power of certain Western feminist theories. The tension existing between Wolf’s own understanding of feminism and the feminist literary responses to her texts seems to suggest that in defining Wolf’s oeuvre from a feminist perspective, not only is gendered difference given priority over other modes of difference, but socialism has been totally ignored. Wolf’s reluctance to call herself a feminist might be understood as her resistance to distinguish between feminism and socialism, or rather, her critique of Western liberal feminism. My dissertation, by considering Wolf’s own intellectual positions, alongside the discourse that constructed her as either a feminist writer/intellectual or a dissident writer, corrects this blind spot in the reception of Wolf. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgements . .vii Chapter 1.

The Epistemic Advantage of Self-Analysis for Cultural-Historical Insights: The variants of Warburg’s manuscripts on his Indian Journey A vantagem epistêmica da autoanálise para insights histórico-culturais: as variantes dos manuscritos de Warburg em sua jornada indígena Dra. Sigrid Weigel* Abstract The article is devoted to analyze different versions and drafts of the 1923 Warburg’s Lecture, held in Kreuzlingen in 1923, on his travel to the United States in 1895/96, at the end of his long convalescence in the sanatorium of Ludwig Binswanger, as well as the respective lectures of 1897. This essay focuses on how the dispersion of these texts, their different dates and interferences in publications over decades had epistemological implications in the interpretation of his famous Conference. Thus, the contrast between fundamental points of these texts, both in their forms and contents – including deliberate terminological fluctuations –, raises theoretical questions that interfere with the understanding of Warburg’s work in its methodological specificity.

  • Bachmann's Feminist Reception
    CHAPTER 2 Bachmann’s Feminist Reception One must in general be able to read a book in different ways and to read it differently today than tomorrow. (Ingeborg Bachmann, Wir müssen wahre Sätze finden) Every reader, when he reads, is in reality a reader of himself. —Ingeborg Bachmann, Werke, quoting Proust Since the late 1970s, the enthusiastic response of feminist readers, critics, and scholars to the writing of Ingeborg Bachmann has produced a radical reassessment of her work. As I explained in chapter 1, she owed her reputation during her lifetime to the two highly accomplished volumes of lyric poetry she published in the 1950s, Die gestundete Zeit and Anrufung des Großen Bären. Her critics responded more negatively to her subsequent attempts at prose fiction, The Thirtieth Year (1961) and the first finished volumes of her “Ways of Death” cycle, Malina (1971) and Three Paths to the Lake (1972). But after her death in 1973, feminist readers rediscovered her fiction, now focusing their attention on representations of femininity in the “Ways of Death,” augmented in 1978 by the posthumous publication of two novel fragments, The Franza Case (now called The Book of Franza) and Requiem for Fanny Goldmann. By the 1980s “the other Ingeborg Bachmann,” as Sigrid Weigel termed her (“Andere” 5), had achieved the status of cult figure within German feminism; feminist literary scholars’ spirited and subtle reinterpretations of her writing had produced a renaissance in Bachmann scholarship; and Bachmann’s texts had become central to the Ger- man feminist literary canon. In a study of Bachmann’s reception before 1973, Constance Hotz argues that 1950s journalists constructed an image of her that met the political needs of their era, turning Bachmann into an “exemplum for [Germany’s] reconstruction, its reattainment of international standards, its reachievement of recognition in the world” (72).

  • DDR-Literatur Im Tauwetter. Band III. Stellungnahmen
    DDR-Literatur im Tauwetter Stellungsnahmen – Ein Gespräch mit dem Interviewer. Anstatt eines Vorworts. – Karl Heinz Schoeps: Aus welchem Grunde wurden diese Interviews mit DDR-Autoren geführt? Richard A. Zipser: Während der Tauwetterphase, die der Berufung Erich Honeckers zum ersten Parteisekretär der SED im Jahre 1971 folgte, wollte ich soviel unmittelbare Informationen wie möglich sammeln über die Bedingungen für das Schreiben in der DDR, über Stellung und Anliegen der Schriftsteller und über die Rolle, die die Literatur in diesem Staate spielt. Dieses ursprüngliche Ziel erhielt jedoch ab Herbst 1976 durch die unerwartete kulturpolitische Kursänderung eine neue, unvorhergesehene, geschichtliche Dimension. Schoeps: Wann wurden die Interviews durchgeführt? Zipser: Vom Herbst 1975 bis zum Sommer 1976, also in einer Zeit der Ruhe und des Optimismus, die der Ausbürgerung Wolf Biermanns im November 1976 vorausging, konnte ich zweiunddreißig DDR-Autoren [Jurek Becker, Uwe Berger, Jurij Brezan, Günter de Bruyn, Adolf Endler, Fritz Rudolf Fries, Franz Fühmann, Günter Görlich, Peter Hacks, Stephan Hermlin, Stefan Heym, Karl-Heinz Jakobs, Bernd Jentzsch, Hermann Kant, Uwe Kant, Rainer Kirsch, Sarah Kirsch, Günter Kunert, Reiner Kunze, Karl Mickel, Irmtraud Morgner, Erik Neutsch, Eberhard Panitz, Siegfried Pitschmann, Ulrich Plenzdorf, Benno Pludra, Klaus Schlesinger, Rolf Schneider, Max Walter Schulz, Helga Schütz, Martin Stade und Paul Wiens.] befragen. Weitere sieben Autoren [Heinz Czechowski, Elke Erb, Wolfgang Kohlhaase, Kito Lorenc, Heiner Müller, Eva Strittmatter und Christa Wolf.] wurden vom Herbst 1977 bis zum Frühjahr 1978 interviewt, in einer Zeit der Unruhe und Unsicherheit, die durch den Weggang von so talentierten Autoren wie Bernd Jentzsch, Thomas Brasch, Reiner Kunze, Sarah Kirsch, Hans Joachim Schädlich und Jurek Becker noch verstärkt wurde.

  • Driven Into Suicide by the Communist Regime of the German Democratic
    Central European History 0 (2019), 1–23. © Central European History Society of the American Historical Association, 2019 doi:10.1017/S0008938919000165 1 2 3 Driven into Suicide by the Communist Regime of the 4 German Democratic Republic? On the Persistence 5 6 of a Distorted Perspective 7 8 Q1 Udo Grashoff 9 10 ABSTRACT. The assumption that the Communist dictatorship in the German Democratic Republic 11 (GDR) drove many people to suicide has persisted for decades, and it is still evident in academic 12 and public discourse. Yet, high suicide rates in eastern Germany, which can be traced back to the 13 nineteenth century, cannot be a result of a particular political system. Be it monarchy, 14 democracy, fascism, or socialism, the frequency of suicide there did not change significantly. In 15 fact, the share of politically motivated suicides in the GDR amounts to only 1–2 per cent of the 16 total. Political, economic, or socio-cultural factors did not have a significant impact on suicide 17 rates. An analysis of two subsets of GDR society that were more likely to be affected by 18 repression—prisoners and army recruits—further corroborates this: there is no evidence of a 19 higher suicide rate in either case. Complimentary to a quantitative approach “from above,” a qualitative analysis “from below” not only underlines the limited importance of repression, but 20 also points to a regional pattern of behavior linked to cultural influences and to the role of 21 religion—specifically, to Protestantism. Several factors nevertheless fostered the persistence of 22 an overly politicized interpretation of suicide in the GDR: the bereaved in the East, the media in 23 the West, and a few victims of suicide themselves blamed the regime and downplayed important 24 individual and pathological aspects.

Makalenin merkezinde, Endler’in ihracının birçok nedeni olduğu varsayım olarak yer almaktadır. Şairin Mayıs 1979’da ADC Başkanı Erich Honecker’e yazdığı protesto mektubu bu kapsamda ne kadar etkili olduysa da, makalenin sorunsalını tek bu nedene bağlamak, bu çalışmanın ikinci ağırlık noktasını oluşturan Endler’in eleştirel yazarlığını gözardı etmek anlamına gelir. Provokasyondan çekinmeyen Endler’in ihracına birden çok bakış açısıyla bakmak, konunun arka planını ayrıntılı bir biçimde belirlemeye olanak sağlar. Dolaysıyla bu makalede Endler’in muhalif sanatı ele alınacaktır. Diğer yandan da ADC tarafından sakıncalı görülen kişilerle ilgili yaptığı üç eylem irdelenecektir.
