Abstract:
This article explores the treatment of the theme of language-use in germanophone Swiss fiction.1 I aim to show that the frequency with which this theme manifests itself in literature reflects a widespread interest in linguistic issues on the part of the German-speaking Swiss. The views on language expressed by literary characters discussed in this article are, in fact, no different from those voiced by the real-life Swiss - and most Swiss fiction is about Swiss characters. That the germanophone Swiss give so much attention to linguistic issues testifies to their sensitivity to the social function of language-use as well as to their respect for tradition. The ability to use language according to prescribed conventions is seen as more than merely desirable; it is recognized as a vital requirement of social cohesion and national identity. I conclude that the Swiss preoccupation with language has a political dimension. The unique linguistic situation of German-speaking Switzerland - that of a diglossic German-language community within a multilingual nation - is used by the germanophone Swiss as a means of asserting their individuality among other German-speaking populations.

Abstract:
This article examines German poet Jan Wagner’s Die Eulenhasser in den Hallenhäusern [The Owl Haters in the Hall Houses] (2012) and the effects of fictional authorship with respect to autobiographical poetry. Wagner's fiction of three poets—their lives and their poems—proves to be an artfully ambivalent construction: on the one hand, the link between persona and poetic voice seems to be undeniably given, while on the other hand, the autobiographical impact of the poems appears to be an effect of the reader’s desire and his or her response to the work. Wagner’s text exploits, confirms and, at the same time, challenges the desire to read poetry as autobiographical expression.

Abstract:
The theme of Kant’s autobiographical novel «The Stay» (Der Aufenthalt, 1976) is the spiritual rebirth of German prisoner of war, a soldier of the Hitlerite ar-my. The article reveals the interaction of two components found in the novel: the fic-tional and the real ones in depicting this complex psychological process. The analysis of the chapters (X, XV, VI) shows various forms of artistic –aesthetic processing of authentic autobiographical material. In Chapter X the author «collects» his own emotional impressions, experienced by him in different periods of his life (such as cold, loneliness, hunger) and «ties» them to the situation of the main character sitting in a lonely cell in a prison. In Chapter XV he «adds» to real autobiographical facts an important artistic detail –a school pencil case of a Jewish girl killed by Nazis. In Chapter VI Kant makes a masterful use of temporal and narrative distance: the hero estimates the decisive episode of his youth –a conversation with a Russian woman-doctor from the viewpoint of a mature person recalling his life.

Abstract Das Memoir bezeichnet eine autobiographische Erzählform, die zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts in der literarischen Öffentlichkeit Verbreitung findet. Ein zentrales Gattungsmerkmal ist die Verknüpfung von autobiographischer Erzählung und Identität mit politisch-sozialen Themen und Standpunkten. Darüber hinaus findet der Terminus gelegentlich im literaturkritischen und allgemeinen literarischen Diskurs als lediglich modernistisches Synonym für ,autobiographische Erzählung‘ Verwendung. Derlei Unschärfen tragen dazu bei, dass Aussagen über die Sinnhaftigkeit und Lebensdauer dieses Genrebegriffs noch wenig valide sind. Der Beitrag plädiert für eine Verwendung bei solchen autobiographischen Texten, die am Schnittpunkt von Autobiographie, Erzählung und Sachbuch liegen und zudem einen markanten gesellschafts- oder identitätspolitischen Fokus aufweisen.The German term ,Memoir‘ refers to an autobiographical narrative form that is becoming widespread among the literary public at the beginning of the 21st century. A central feature of the genre is linking autobiographical narrative and identity with political-social themes and viewpoints. The term is also occasionally used in literary criticism and general literary discourse merely as a modernist synonym for ,autobiographical narrative‘. Such vagueness contributes to the fact that statements about the meaningfulness and longevity of this genre term are currently not very valid. This article argues for its use in autobiographical texts that lie at the intersection of autobiography, narrative, and non-fiction and also have a distinctive socio-political or identity-political focus.

Abstract:
An Academic “Internationale” of Women? Solidarity, Rivalry, and Loneliness in Switzerland (1870−1900) This paper examines the experience of the first generations of women studying in Switzerland. The text corpus consists of autobiographical accounts, letters, and fiction by German, Russian, and Polish authors. Among the first female students in Switzerland, there were such figures as Vera Figner, Olga Lubatovich, Franziska Tiburtius, Ricarda Huch, Rosa Luxemburg, Anna Tomaszewicz-Dobrska, Gabriela Iwanowska-Balicka, Zofia Daszyńska-Golińska, and Józefa Joteyko. The paper discusses the issues of (international) female cooperation and solidarity, on the one hand, and, on the other, it highlights the disparity between the self and the world, as well as the efforts to maintain the separateness of the national group.

Full text
Abstract:
The book begins with the works of the first British visitors to the Pacific, missionaries from the newly formed London Missionary Society. Missionaries argued that the islanders were not “noble savages,” but instead were in desperate need of a “civilizing” education. This mission narrative also appears in fiction of the period, including William and Mary Godwin’s English translation of Johann Wyss’s The Swiss Family Robinson (1814). Throughout the novel, the Godwins and Wyss depict the tension between the Swiss family’s God-given obligation to settle the land and its dispassionate scientific interest in new species and experiences. His story offers a fictional example of both the “civilizing” rhetoric found prominently in mission narratives and a scientific interest in the islands and their value as potential new colonies. Instead of viewing the story as a German text, the British adapted the story to support their imperial mission, eventually rewriting the novel to support British control over the original Swiss colony.

This chapter examines the place of Cyrillic in the politicization and racialization of script and identity in Europe over the turn of the century. Following a discussion of the politics of language and script in Russia and Central Europe, the chapter turns to explain the importance of Cyrillic for Conrad’s work, with special attention to Under Western Eyes and the autobiographical Personal Record. The chapter concludes with a comparison between Conrad and the German Czech writer Franz Kafka, focusing on the national and racial identities registered in the signature K-effect of each author’s fiction.

Abstract:
Abstract Thomas Mann (1875-1955), one of Germany’s finest novelists, ranks securely among the giants of twentieth-century literature. However, Mann’s significance extends much beyond his fiction. As an intellectual whose career traversed seven fateful decades of German history and culminated in American and Swiss exile during a cataclysmic war and its controversy-filled aftermath, Mann, unlike such men as Rainer Maria Rilke or Hermann Hesse, never chose to stand aloof from the hurly-burly of his time. On the contrary, Mann’s intimate engagement with his socio-political environment—from Wilhelminian imperialism to Weimar republicanism, from Nazi dictatorship to the Rooseveltian New Deal, from McCarthy paranoia to European reconstruction—constitutes a distinctive dimension of his legacy. By the time Mann was living in the United States, journalists seeking an interview often had to specify whether their interest was literary or political. In one of his letters, written on the eve of the Second World War, Mann defended his indefatigable public crusade against Nazi tyranny by quoting Goethe, “What now counts is how much one weighs on the scale of humanity; everything else is insignificant.”1
