Erinnerungs- und Identitätsverlust in Große Szene am Fluss (1999) und Othoon (2002) von Tankred Dorst

Author(s): Katarzyna Michalak / Language(s): Polish,German Publication Year: 0

In his works, Tankred Dorst deals with the problems and weaknesses of the modern society. One of them is the inability to remember, which is directly connected with the loss of identity. One might refer to it as the subjective and collective culture of memory. It is clearly visible in both his texts: the protagonists cannot recognise relations and contexts in society because they have no memories. They are not able to retain elements of the past in their consciousness. Thus their lives are pointless, devoid of a fundamental pillar: memory.

Author(s): Marek Jakubów / Language(s): Polish,German Publication Year: 0

Catholic references appearing in recent German-language literature,including Martin Mosebach’s and Martin Walser’s novels, are connectedwith traditional structures, which originated in previous epochs. At thebeginning of the 21st century, in a new confessional, aesthetic, and literarycontext, having assumed new forms, these structures are nowreturning. In the case of Mosebach, they should be considered as newvariants of a traditional, organic worldview, while in the case of Walser,they should be viewed as an elaboration of an early Romantic concept,which presupposes questioning of that traditional worldview.

Zaklęte źródło wspomnień – sztetl jako uniwersalna przestrzeń żydowskiej biografii w poezji Stefana Pomera i malarstwie Adama Muszki

Author(s): Aleksandra Bednarowska / Language(s): Polish,German Publication Year: 0

Shtetl, a mosaic of cultures, languages and religions, was presented by Polish-Jewish artists of the interwar period as a juxtaposition of two worlds: the idyllic world of childhood and the ugly, miserable place of Jewish existence in Eastern Europe. After the Holocaust the portrayal of shtetl became the symbol of the lost world of European Jewry. This essay focusses on two Polish-Jewish artists: a poet Stefan Pomer, who came from a Podolian shtetl and became victim of the Holocaust and an artist Adam Muszka, a Holocaust survivor, who devoted his life to painting a shtetl of his childhood Piotrków Trybunalski, and examines how the memory of shtetl is represented in their works.

Vom symbolischen Spiel mit der Angst oder: Wie Märchen spielerisch Abwehrkräfte stärken

Author(s): Sabine Lutkat / Language(s): English,German Publication Year: 0
