Full textAbstract This study examines the effect of exile on Theodor Wolff’s writings from 1933 to 1943. Wolff, a highly assimilated German Jew and renowned journalist and editor-in-chief of the ‘Berliner Tageblatt’ from 1906-1933, was one of the most influential cultural and liberal political commentators during World War I and the Weimar Republic. His political life and influence has been extensively researched, whereas his life in exile has not been explored. Enforced sudden exile in 1933 represented a turning point in Wolff’s life. Following the temporal sequence of Wolff’s ten years in exile, this study is divided into four chapters, starting with the early exile years from 1933 to 1936, followed by the immediate pre World War II period. The third chapter covers the German invasion and occupation of France in 1940. The last chapter sheds light on the two final years from 1942 to 1943. These four periods reflect his exile experience and gradual decline in living conditions, mood, and fundamental changes in his approach to writing. In exile Wolff devotes his time and effort to historical accounts and fiction – a difficult genre for a publicist and journalistic writer. He also embarks on autobiographical writings and during his final years in exile deals with the Jewish catastrophe unfolding in Nazi controlled Europe, raising issues concerning the so called ‘Jewish Problem’. This study draws attention to the effect exile had on an important German- Jewish writer, who in 1943 fell victim to the Holocaust. Wolff’s works, especially his exile writings survived the war and remain relevant today. The findings of this research provide some insight into a turbulent period in German and European history that drastically changed many lives. It also makes a significant contribution to the study of Theodor Wolff and to exile studies in general.

Full textThree simple words ”I am a Spaniolin” in the title of the present literary research work appoint to the fundamental belief of the Judeo-Spanish writer Veza Canetti. The profound dimensión of this confession is confirmed trhoughout the biographical, literary and historical research for this thesis. The central focus concentrates – within three concentric circles– on Veza Canetti’s Judeo-Spanish identity including a vaste historical retrospection of the Golden Middle Ages for the Spanish Jews on the Iberic Peninsular, the consecuences of the expulsión of the Sephardim on 1492 in order to make comprehensible their adherence to the Spanish culture and language. Furtheron, the investigation of the fertile literary production of Jewish artists and writers like Veza (and Elias) Canetti during the Austromarxism in Red Viena til the take-over of the Nazis in 1938 and the consecuent Jewish exile in London is described in this thesis. In every concentric circle there are four relevant elements as a red line throughout this paper: 1) Judeo-Spanish as the language of private communication between the Canetti- couple, 2) the influence of their literary and artistic friends in Viena and in London, their exile 3) the German as a literary language for both Veza and Elias Canetti 4) An exhaustive work-analisis of those literary works which are directly related to the head-lines of each concentric circle, as the are the Jewish-Sephardic heritage, living with Jewish-Sephardic roots in Viena and last not least the Jewish exile period in London. The first concentric circle contains the most important part of this thesis: the Sephardic heritage with a wide historic background and analisis of Veza Canettis Spanish works Der Seher and Pastora. The second concentric circle contains the Viena-period. The literary value of the letters is as well contemplated within the third and last concentric circle, as letters are the expression of one’s own identity of Sephardic elements which are always present in Veza Canetti’s letters to her brother-in-law Georges and friends and editors. Three tables of Veza Canetti’s Works, numerous documents, photographs and letters out of different legacies, as well as two reports of conversations and visits, to be found in the Annex, complete the new results of this literary research thesis about Veza Canetti’s Judeo-Spanish roots.

Full textThis thesis discusses the oeuvre of the Jewish Austrian writer Joseph Roth, and aims at an understanding of his critique of modernity, which is seen as a result of a unique point of view, determined by the encounter between two worlds: the traditional world of Eastern European Jewry on one hand and the world of the final years of the Habsburg Monarchy on the other. I try to show that Roth takes a skeptical look at modernity and at post-World War I Europe using the paradigms of these two lost worlds.At the same time I aim at demonstrating how the concept of exile is deeply rooted in his critique of modernity. However he is dealing with an exile in time here, as opposed to a purely geographical exile - an exile that is far more tragic, since it is irreversible. Exile is also a core theme in traditional Jewish mystical and philosophical thought and I try to point to coincidences in the treatment of this topic in Roth and in traditional Jewish doctrines.The concept of exile has the idea of Heimat or homeland as its opposite, and in Roth Heimat becomes an abstract category, pertaining to the universe of metaphysics and memory, in the light of which he interprets European civilization of the 1920´s and 1930´s.I conclude by showing how this fictive Heimat turns into one of his literary obsessions, around which he will build an oeuvre, which is, more then anything else, an attempt at restoring a vanished human landscape, anchored in the Middle Ages and buried by time and by wars.

Full textGerman-Canadian Walter Bauer’s writings are a striking example of the identity struggle he faced as an exiled person. Walter Bauer, who profoundly loved his native country, Germany, and its culture, had to learn to live with the shame inherited from the National-socialist regime. In his work, he is incapable of reconciling his beloved Germany with the horrors of the war and is faced with an identity crisis, leaving him with the need to rebuild his identity. His host country, Canada, played an ambivalent role in this quest, both positive and negative. This master’s thesis explores the role of Canada in the identity quest of the migrant writer Walter Bauer. By analysing both the burden of the German past and the promise of renewal given by Canada, it describes the identity ideal towards which Bauer strived: to be a man from both Canada and Germany, to be at ease on both continents. The way in which the author represents the immigrant experience through his work leads us to conclude that the clash with reality ultimately questions this ideal. The writer’s identity crisis, resulting from the Second World War and his false hopes of a new beginning in an idealised Canada, ends in alienation lived.
Dżabagina, Anna. "Eleonory Kalkowskiej (1883-1937) polsko-niemiecka twórczość i jej recepcja." Doctoral thesis, 2019. https://depotuw.ceon.pl/handle/item/3423.
Full textThis doctoral thesis is the first attempt to draw a monographical ‘map’ of works and reception of Eleonore Kalkowska, Polish-German modernist poet and playwright, an important, yet forgotten, border-crossing agent of transnational modernism network. In previous studies, Kalkowska functioned mainly as an author of few plays ("Josef" and "Zeitungsnotizen"), written between 1929-1932, which connected her only with political Zeittheater of Weimar Republic. This dissertation argues that it was one of the reasons for Kalkowska’s marginalization in – both Polish and German – literary history. Another factor of this marginalization was Kalkowska's ambiguous, multipositional national affiliation, which interfered with her works and its reception differently in different locations, and ultimately led to her erasure from ‘nationalised’ literary canons. Therefore, the main axis of this thesis is, on the one hand, to present Kalkowska’s case beyond the category of Zeittheater (as an author of e.g. modernist Polish short-stories collection "Głód życia" [The Hunger of Life, 1904], feminist-pacifist poetry from "Der Rauch des Opfers" [The Smoke of Sacrifice, 1916], herstorical play on Catherine the Great ["Katharina", ca. 1926] or "L’Arc de Triomphe" [Triumphal Arch, ca. 1934], which shows Kalkowska’s interest in existential issues). And on the other, is to describe the mechanism of interferences between national categories, which was imposed on Kalkowska (who was describing herself as an „embodied piece of Pan-Europa’s body”), and the reception of her works (eventually: a marginalization from nationalized literary histories). Main methodological inspirations of this thesis are taken from literary studies, which were developed as a part of ‘spatial turn’. The author uses concepts from ‘geopoetics’, studies of transnational modernism and exile studies, last but not least – locational feminism. An important concept for this thesis is also the idea of the ‘World Republic of Letters’ by Pascale Casanova, who described e.g. the mechanisms governing the transnational literary field and the requirements posed to writers from languages of ‘lower’ positions in the hierarchy of ‘world’ literary prestige. The doctoral thesis is divided into three parts, framed by the chronological and biographical boundaries. The first ("Migrations") tackles the years between 1883-1918 and the stage of Kalkowska’s nomadic explorations (both artistical and geographical). The second ("The Castle and the Poetess") shows Kalkowska’s years in modernist, Weimar Berlin (1918-1933) – it analyses her artistic networks and constellations, describes her way onto the stage and the high point of her literary career, which was abruptly interrupted by Hitler's rise to power. The third part ("Exodus") tackles the years of exile, which Kalkowska spent in Paris and London, among thousands of other exiles, who were eventually named as a formation of ‘exile modernism’. In this light, Kalkowska’s case appears to be an important link in the history of different ‘geomodernisms’. An Epilogue, which closes this thesis, shows how it corresponds with the new currents of literary history studies.
