• W20093036 abstract "The process of assimilation claimed to domesticate the difference of the Jews byencouraging Jews to adopt attributes of gentile society and shed markers of belongingthat identified Jews as other. However, the anti-Semitic basis of assimilationprevented the proposed processes of integration and acceptance of Jews from everhappening. The resulting situation for Jews who had gone through the process ofassimilation was a perpetual state of ‘inbetweenness’. Perceived as inalienably other,yet in many ways representative of gentile society that projects this otherness, Jewswere subject to contradictory and conflicting societal expectations so that it wasimpossible to fit in with established constructs. In Gertrud Kolmar’s prose anddramatic works, textual devices denote the continuous inbetween status of thecharacters.The multiple engagements with fixed constructs such as stereotypes exposehow Jewish women were represented within perceived stable constructs. However,deviations from conventional structures refute neat categorisation of the characters sothat inbetweenness is the prevailing status for all characters. Kolmar’s works do notpresent a solution to inbetweenness; rather, the lack of solutions and satisfactoryconclusions to Kolmar’s prose and dramatic works is a textual device that accuratelyportrays the nature of Jewish existence in Kolmar’s time. Similarly, analyses of spaceand spatial markers in the prose works explore the complexities of Jewish existenceas appropriations of the same space are multiple and contradictory.The thematic development of silence and sacrifice shows how the inbetweensubject engages with conventional modes of communication and religious belief. Inthe prose and dramatic works Kolmar appropriates the significance of silence andsacrifice for her time. Silence is removed from its role as a symbol of oppression ofJews and used as a virulent, subversive mode of communication. Similarly, sacrificeis examined as a ritual that attests to the existence of divine powers, and theindividual’s responsibility to attribute meaning to existence is explored. Theseinvestigations reflect on the realities of Kolmar’s time when religious beliefs(Judaism) were perceived as the source of otherness and the necessary sacrificesmade to ensure survival in a hostile environment, such as the forced selling ofKolmar’s family home, were stripped of meaning. Kolmar’s prose and dramaticworks offer an insightful commentary on the problematic existence of Jews in the1930s and 1940s in Germany. The complexities of existence are not overlooked inKolmar’s works; rather, they are perceived as manifestations of inbetweenness, whichare explored in these works in a manner that exposes the flawed structure of thesociety that has led to the inbetween state of German Jews." @default.
