- W2086647537 abstract "In discussing the problems of language in Irmgard Keun's early novels, Ritta Jo Horsley observed the importance of subtexts that correspond to the experience of marginality in a male dominated, patriarchal society. Horsley focussed primanly on gender difference as experienced and expressed by the young protagonists Gilgi in Gilgi, eine von uns (1931) and Doris in Das kunstseidene Madchen (1932). Investigating correlations between gender, social class, and speech, she showed how these young protagonists expose social inequality and the contradictions and disharmonies beneath the glittering surface of Weimar culture (Problematics 311). While Horsley's analysis centres on gender imagery of Weimar's New Woman, this essay explores Keun's depiction of alterity in her 1937 novel Nach Mitternacht, looking more closely at the portrayal of marginality and minority discourse in the emerging political climate of Nazi Germany. In particular, it concentrates on moments in which personal identity and subjective difference are impacted by political circumstance arising from a dialectic between Self and Other. By focussing on Susanne Moder – the nineteen-year-old protagonist – this article will show how the problematic relationship of Sameness and Otherness not only exposes Susanne's minority discourse but also reveals her internal effort to separate herself from popular political and social thought. This allows her to occupy a critical space inbetween cultural identities in the construction of individual Self and in a sociopolitical environment as Self and political Other. Irmgard Keun wrote and published Nach Mitternacht in exile. Mainly through the subjective reflections of her protagonist the author depicts Germany as it embraces Hitler and his policies. While Susanne observes and contemplates socio-political events, her reflections begin to embrace an array of ordinary, mostly lower middle-class people. Everyday life permeates this novel and includes elements of confrontation with and adaptation to Nazi ideology. The Germans in this novel, which is presumed to have been written in 1936, do not yet know the full horrors of Hitler's policies. Large-scale atrocities and suffering, including the systematic elimination of Jews and the privations of total war, had yet to come. Nevertheless, the characters are depicted as they begin to adjust" @default.
