The limits of representation? : the expression and repression of desire in 20th-century German lesbian narrativesWinkelmann, Cathrin. January 2001 (has links)
This study investigates the expression and repression of desire in four 20th-century German-language lesbian prose texts. I examine in chronological order three novels and one novella: Der Skorpion (1919) by Anna Elisabet Weirauch; Lyrische Novelle (1933) by the Swiss author Annemarie Schwarzenbach; Der Schlachter empfiehlt noch immer Herz (1976) by Margot Schroeder; and, finally, Bilder von ihr (1996) by Karen-Susan Fessel. While not concentrating on any single literary work, the excursus on texts from the period between the Third Reich and the Second Feminist Movement in Germany provides a brief analysis of the (lack of) lesbian literary developments during this time. / Drawing on diverse lesbian-feminist and queer strains of criticism, this study provides a close examination of the narrative elements, strategies, and styles used to inscribe lesbian desire into the literary works selected for analysis. The investigation explores how these texts utilize narrative conceptualizations of lesbian desire, critiques of heterophallocentric language and representation, and strategies to create lesbian narrative spaces that challenge the heterosexual presumptions and trajectories which traditionally underlie conventional Western romance narratives. The constructions of "lesbian" identity presented in the texts are fundamentally connected to the creation and operation of these narrative spaces. Thus, in order to contextualize my interpretations and literary analyses, I situate the texts in the respective socio-historical and political contexts in which they were written and received. / The unresolved problems, prevailing tensions, and their individual differences notwithstanding, the narratives examined here collectively contribute to a lesbian counterdiscourse to the 20th-century German literary establishment. By exploring the strategies invoked in these texts to represent a desiring textual lesbian subjectivity, this study hopes to make visible a tradition of Germanlanguage lesbian literature---a fragmented and often marginalized literature---over the last century and to offer German literary studies insights from the periphery of the dominant heterosexual culture. However, this investigation simultaneously and paradoxically also contests the very positioning of German lesbian literature and criticism at the margins by proposing their strategic integration into the German literary canon.

Krebs Schreiben : Krebserkrankungen in der deutschsprachigen Literatur der siebziger und achtziger JahreMoamai, Marion. January 1993 (has links)
In the 1960's, cancer became one of the dominating diseases of our time and this has, in the last two decades, been increasingly reflected in German literature. This thesis examines a number of such texts (diaries, autopathographies, short stories and novels) from a literary and psychosocial standpoint. / First, a brief outline of the literary and social context attempts to answer questions concerning the production and reception of this 'cancer literature'. The following thematic analysis examines the role of cancer as a signifier. It shows that endo- and exogenic conceptions of the disease are present, and that mood changes of the afflicted person determine the meanings that are attributed to it. The ways cancer affects the social and bodily identity and different aspects of treatment are analyzed next. Finally, a chapter is devoted to the aesthetics of cancer, examining the metaphors used to describe the disease and the rhetorical means to represent the anxiety that accompanies it. / This study is intended not only as an interdisciplinary analysis of a chapter of contemporary German literature but as a contribution to a better understanding of how cancer is viewed and experienced.

Unheimliche Heimat: Reibungsflächen Zwischen Kultur und Nation zur Konstruktion von Heimat in Deutschsprachiger GegenwartsliteraturStrzelczyk, Florentine 05 1900 (has links)
The thesis explores the vexed concept of Heimat in recent German culture. Heimat evokes an
exclusive group, founded on the idea of the unity and homogeneity of its members. Conflicts arise
around the concept because it constructs oppositions between those who belong and those who
do not, insiders and outsiders, the domestic and known in opposition to the foreign and strange.
Historically, the concept has been used to tell a story about the cohesion of the German nation; it
has also, however, been used to assimilate, eliminate, or exile its Others. The thesis examines how
the legacies of the concept and its narrative reverberate through the nation-building process of
Germany today. The concept of Heimat is active in films, literature, the law and contemporary
German society. The argument is that the concept of Heimat still shapes German identity in ways
that use old forms and oppositions to respond to recent social changes. It is argued further that
the tensions around the concept have not diminished, but are spreading into many different areas
of German everyday life.
Two films by Edgar Reitz provide the starting point for exploring the tensions around
Heimat in contemorary German culture. Following readings of texts by Jewish-German, Austrian-
German, Swiss-German, Persian-German, Rumanian-German, East and West German authors
show the concept persisting in different forms with different consequences, according to the
different cultural contexts. In each of these contexts, the concept of German Heimat produces
both social cohesion and social tensions. As much as people are united by the concept, they are
also driven apart by its differentiating and disintegrating mechanisms. Motivated by the search for
communal intimacy, the concept also has the effect of controlling and manipulating what appears
different and alien. As such a network of interests and strategies it is not merely closed, fixed and
bounded, as desired perhaps by the dominant cultural groups, but rather open for contestation and
negotiation within and across national borders.
