"Aus Dem Ärmel Der Mutter Hole Ich Die Harfe": Das Echo Der Mütterlichkeit In Rose Ausländers Dichtung, Kathrin M. Bower

Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Faculty Publications

Rose Ausländer (1901-1988) hat ein vielfach gebrochenes, durch ständigen Schmerz gezeichnetes Leben geführt, in dem sich mehrere Zyklen von Aufbruch und Rückkehr, Trauma mid Genesung, Verlust und Hoffnung erkennen lassen. Das Gefühl der Unsicherheit hat seine Spuren nicht nur in ihrer Seele, sondern auch in ihrer Dichtung hinterlassen - in einer Sprache, die als ihre letzte Zuflucht zu gel ten hat. Sie empfand sich als Exilantin und Waise, die Mutter und Mutterland verloren hatte und nur noch in ihrer Muttersprache, Deutsch, Schutz fand: in der Sprache also, die mit dem unsäglichen Leid ihres Volkes aufs engste verknüpft war.

"In World Literature 390, I want to examine from a literary perspective medicine and medical discourse. How do authors use metaphors of sickness and health, illness and cure, disease and well-being in their literature? How in turn do these literary and rhetorical metaphors affect everyday understandings of these basic concepts?"

A Translation Of Selected Short Stories By Helga M. Novak, Margaret Zenk

Honors Theses, 1963-2015

This project is a translation of twenty short stories by Helga Novak, a contemporary author born in eastern Berlin. The stories were all written between 1965 and 1980. They are divided into four sections: Fish Factory, Carpet Weaving, Traveling, and Sojourn in a Crazy House. The first three sections consist of very short stories, approximately one page long, taken from Novak's collection called Geselliges Beisammensein (Social Gathering). The last section is made up of three longer stories, each about 10 pages long, taken from Aufenthalt in einem irren Haus (Sojourn in a Crazy House), which represent some of …

Die Auferlegte Heimat. Else Lasker-Schülers Emigration In Palastina (Book Review), Kathrin M. Bower

Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Faculty Publications

Alfred Bodenheimer's concise and thoughtful monograph is a pioneering attempt at systematically exploring the tensions between Else Lasker-Schüler's self-concept as a Jew and her relationship to the Jewish homeland. Bodenheimer examines the unresolved incommensurability between the poet's pre-1933 depictions of Israel as a kind of longed for mystical other-world and her personal encounters with the reality of Palestine during her visits and exile there from 1934 on. Else Lasker-Schüler made a total of three trips to Palestine over the last eleven years of her life and her third voyage in 1939 was to be the final one. Suspended between two …

Searching For The (M)Other: The Rhetoric Of Longing In Post-Holocaust Poems By Nelly Sachs And Rose Ausländer, Kathrin M. Bower

Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Faculty Publications

The post-Holocaust poems of Nelly Sachs and Rose Ausländer demonstrate shifts toward experimentation in form and message, particularly in relation to religious belief and the expressive potential of poetic language. The experience of the Holocaust forced both authors to confront the interconnections between their Jewishness, their relationship to the German language, and their displacements as homeless exiles. They turned to poetry as a means of mediating the past in the present, and their post-Holocaust writings represent acts of both remembrance and reproduction. As victims and witnesses to suffering, devastation, and loss, Sachs and Ausländer appealed to images of the maternal …

Inszenierungen Einer Frau: Die Rollen, Werke Und Einschätzungen Der Franziska Gräfin Zu Reventlow, Julie K. Smith

Undergraduate Honors Theses

It is possible to stage a woman such as Franziska Gräfin/countess zu Reventlow in a myriad of characters and figures. Her richness on adventures and on her literary handling provides many possibilities of interpretation. Reventlow liked to stage herself and often, with varying degrees of bourgeois outrage or enthusiasm as a result. This self-staging as well as her foreign productions testify of a complex system of identity finding and definition of reality. On the one hand, she was admired by many as the fulfillment of their dreams or a symbol of an era. On the other hand, she experimented with …

Der 35. Mai -- Ein Sozialkritisches Erwachsenenbuch FüR Kinder, Thomas Bosch

Dissertations and Theses

Der 35. Mai, Erich Kästner's least popular young people's book, has received only little attention by critical reviewers, and is seldom included in comparative studies that deal with the body of his early young people's literature. Due to the existence of only a few critical secondary sources and convincing studies showing the works unpopularity, this thesis wants to add new critical insights and give reasons for the failure of this particular book. Secondly, this examination will question the rather uncritically and quickly affixed label young people's literature that haunts Der 35. Mai until today.

This study reviews Kästner's …
