Hardback. Condition: New. Shows how genre links gender and memory in German "mother books" and contends that recent changes in German memory culture reflect a gendered shift as much as a generational one.To an extraordinary degree, German literary memoirs and novels published since the Second World War have struggled with remembering the war and its aftermath. In approaching questions of individual, family, and collective memory in literature and German memory culture more broadly, scholars have emphasized the concept of generation. The present study complicates this generational view by examining eight decades of German-language memoirs and novels about World War II-era mothers and grandmothers. As it traces the evolution of these books, it demonstrates their surprising similarity over time and illuminates how genre mediates between gender and memory.In the German context, the book finds that many features associated with contemporary literary memory are common in "mother books" from the 1950s onward, as well as in genres traditionally coded as female. It thus contends that the change in German memory culture around 2000 can be viewed as a gendered shift as much as a generational one: in the last twenty years, what was once marginalized as women's memory has become central to German memory culture. More generally, the study demonstrates how gendered genres both perpetuate existing complexes of gender and memory and signal-and even contribute to-new constellations of gendered memory. Reading books by authors from Heinrich Böll to Eugen Ruge and Jenny Erpenbeck, it reveals genre as a key mechanism linking gender and memory.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In Ethics and the Dynamic Observer Narrator: Reckoning with Past and Present in German Literature, Katra A. Byram proposes a new category-the dynamic observer form-to describe a narrative situation that emerges when stories about others become an avenue to negotiate a narrator's own identity across past and present. Focusing on German-language fiction from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Byram demonstrates how the dynamic observer form highlights historical tensions and explores the nexus of history, identity, narrative, and ethics in the modern moment.Ethics and the Dynamic Observer Narrator contributes to scholarship on both narrative theory and the historical and cultural context of German and Austrian literary studies. Narrative theory, according to Byram, should understand this form to register complex interactions between history and narrative form. Byram also juxtaposes new readings of works by Textor, Storm, and Raabe from the nineteenth century with analyses of twentieth-century works by Grass, Handke, and Sebald, ultimately reframing our understanding of literary Vergangenheitsbewältigung, or the struggle to come to terms with the past. Overall, Byram shows that neither the problem of reckoning with the past nor the dynamic observer form is unique to Germany's post-WWII era. Both are products of the dynamics of modern identity, surfacing whenever critical change separates what was from what is.…
