| Zusammenfassung: | "This study investigates the negotiation of Jewish-German-Communist identity in post-Holocaust Germany, specifically East Germany. After an introduction to the political-historical context, it highlights the conflicted writings of six East German Jewish writers: Anna Seghers (1900-1983), Stefan Heym (1913-2001), Stephan Hermlin (1915-1997), Jurek Becker (1937-1997), Peter Edel (1921-1983), and Fred Wander (1917-2006). All were Holocaust survivors. All lost family members in the Holocaust. All were important writers who played a leading role in East German cultural life, and all were loyal citizens and committed socialists, although their definitions and maneuvers regarding Party loyalty differed greatly. Good soldiers, they viewed their writing as contributing to the social-political revolution taking place in East Germany. Informed by Holocaust and trauma studies, as well as psychology and deconstruction, this study looks for moments when Party discipline falters and other, repressed, thoughts and emotions surface, decentering the works. Some recurring questions addressed include: What is the image of Germans? Do the works evidence revenge fantasies? How does the negotiation of ostensibly mutually exclusive identities play out? Is there acknowledgement of the insufficiency of Communist theory to explain anti-Semitism, as well as recognition of Stalinist or other forms of Communist anti-Semitism? Although these writers ultimately established themselves in East Germany, attaining positions of privilege and even power, their best works nonetheless evince an acute sense of endangerment and vulnerability; they are documents both created and marked by trauma"-- |

Fox Rochester, New York Camden House 2022 1 Online-Ressource (viii, 201 Seiten) txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Dialogue and disjunction: studies in Jewish German literature, culture, and thought "This study investigates the negotiation of Jewish-German-Communist identity in post-Holocaust Germany, specifically East Germany. After an introduction to the political-historical context, it highlights the conflicted writings of six East German Jewish writers: Anna Seghers (1900-1983), Stefan Heym (1913-2001), Stephan Hermlin (1915-1997), Jurek Becker (1937-1997), Peter Edel (1921-1983), and Fred Wander (1917-2006). All were Holocaust survivors. All lost family members in the Holocaust. All were important writers who played a leading role in East German cultural life, and all were loyal citizens and committed socialists, although their definitions and maneuvers regarding Party loyalty differed greatly. Good soldiers, they viewed their writing as contributing to the social-political revolution taking place in East Germany. Informed by Holocaust and trauma studies, as well as psychology and deconstruction, this study looks for moments when Party discipline falters and other, repressed, thoughts and emotions surface, decentering the works. Some recurring questions addressed include: What is the image of Germans? Do the works evidence revenge fantasies? How does the negotiation of ostensibly mutually exclusive identities play out? Is there acknowledgement of the insufficiency of Communist theory to explain anti-Semitism, as well as recognition of Stalinist or other forms of Communist anti-Semitism? Although these writers ultimately established themselves in East Germany, attaining positions of privilege and even power, their best works nonetheless evince an acute sense of endangerment and vulnerability; they are documents both created and marked by trauma"-- Seghers, Anna 1900-1983 (DE-588)118612743 gnd rswk-swf Wander, Fred 1917-2006 (DE-588)119380889 gnd rswk-swf Hermlin, Stephan 1915-1997 (DE-588)118549812 gnd rswk-swf Becker, Jurek 1937-1997 (DE-588)118829742 gnd rswk-swf Heym, Stefan 1913-2001 (DE-588)118550691 gnd rswk-swf Edel, Peter 1921-1983 (DE-588)118528858 gnd rswk-swf German literature / Germany (East) / History and criticism German literature / Jewish authors / History and criticism Communism and literature / Germany (East) Holocaust survivors' writings / History and criticism Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in literature Identity (Philosophical concept) in literature Judenvernichtung Motiv (DE-588)4122228-3 gnd rswk-swf Überlebender (DE-588)4136796-0 gnd rswk-swf Kommunismus (DE-588)4031892-8 gnd rswk-swf Juden (DE-588)4028808-0 gnd rswk-swf Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf Deutschland DDR (DE-588)4011890-3 gnd rswk-swf Seghers, Anna 1900-1983 (DE-588)118612743 p Heym, Stefan 1913-2001 (DE-588)118550691 p Hermlin, Stephan 1915-1997 (DE-588)118549812 p Becker, Jurek 1937-1997 (DE-588)118829742 p Edel, Peter 1921-1983 (DE-588)118528858 p Wander, Fred 1917-2006 (DE-588)119380889 p DE-604 Deutschland DDR (DE-588)4011890-3 g Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 s Juden (DE-588)4028808-0 s Überlebender (DE-588)4136796-0 s Kommunismus (DE-588)4031892-8 s Judenvernichtung Motiv (DE-588)4122228-3 s Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 978-1-64014-062-2 https://doi.org/10.1017/9781787448087 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
