- W4210411622 abstract "MLR, 105.3, 2010 923 Kunze's solidarity with theRussian toHarry Thiirk's thinlyveiled vilification of the man in his novel Der Gaukler (1978). The example of Daniil Granin's novel Zubr (ig%7)ISie nannten ihnUr (1989), a biography of the scientist and suspected Nazi collaborator Timofeev-Resovskij who spent ten years of his life in theGulag, shows how the publication of a contentious book could be unduly delayed if its content met with political opposition. The Kafka chapter charts the 1963-64 debates and conferences on Kafka and thepublication of some of his works, albeit invery small print-runs, in both theUSSR and theGDR in 1965. Walenski's study processes a wide range ofmaterial, including archival sources, and her case studies illustrate the trappings of the GDR's tLiteraturbetrieb But some specifics of the GDR's history which had a deep impact on the country's cultural politics are not adequately addressed, e.g. the brief phase of liberalization that set inwhen Honecker took over from Ulbricht in 1971, the significance of Brandt's 'Ostpolitik' for the relationship of both German states, the restoration characterizing the climate once Biermann had been expelled in 1976, or the peace movement inEast andWest Germany of the early 1980s. The picture of Soviet-East German cultural relations that emerges is a little skewed at times, portraying the GDR as conservative and theUSSR asmuch more open to reform fromwithin and above. Newcastle University Beate Muller Dislocation and Reorientation: Exile, Division and theEnd ofCommunism inGer man Culture and Politics. InHonour of Ian Wallace. Ed. byAxel Goodbody, Pol 6 Dochartaigh, and Dennis Tate. (German Monitor, 71) Amsterdam: Rodopi. 2009. xii+33opp. 68. ISBN 978-90-420-2554-7. Dislocation and Reorientation isa highly eclectic, bilingual collection of twenty-five relatively brief essays. They are grouped into roughly fivecategories: Volker Braun, wartime exile, post-war dislocation, the fall of theWall and the end of the GDR, and post-Communist disorientation. With analysis that runs the gamut from the biographical to the literary to thehistorical to the philosophical, a sense of disjoin tedness is perhaps inevitable. Nevertheless, the volume certainly accomplishes its goal: To explore the parallels and differences between the impact on these diverse groups of their sense of loss and their struggle to establish new identities after these major upheavals (p. ix). A brief excerpt fromVolker Braun's latest novel sets the tone for the firstsection and subsequently for the entire volume. It describes the destruction of the home of an elderly couple in a Sorbian mining village. Its tone, like that of the volume, is at once melancholy and optimistic: 'Und auch Doman war auf die Knie gesunken, und wir wissen: da war nicht nur das Holz, dem war das Herz gebrochen. [...] Das alte Paar aber soil, nach Jahrenund Tagen, wenn das Land ergriint,wieder Wurzeln schlagen' (pp. 3-4). On the heels of this excerpt follow four essays about Braun that offer a coherent, ifat times over-laudatory, portrait of both the poet and his 924 Reviews poetry. Although this section is clearly a reflection of thevolume's dedication to Ian Wallace, the strategyof examining thework of a singlewriter before broadening in scope serves to ground the reader solidly within the relevant themes. The volume's second section contains seven essays related towartime exile. They range from Daniel AzueTos's essay on the reaction of the German exile presses to the 1944 Attentat to a fascinating and unusual essay by Geoffrey V. Davis on the portrayal of German exiles in postcolonial anglophone writing. But themost significant contribution here isWolfgang Emmerich's essay on Homi Bhabha's concept of hybridity from The Location ofCulture. Emmerich not only delineates the importance of Bhabha's concept for a specific Kafka narrative, but also outlines its significance for the fieldofGerman studies more generally. In addition to fields such as Turkish-German literature,German exile literature, and Jewish-German literature,Emmerich makes the bold but ultimately persuasive argument that 'sen der staatlichen Wiedervereinigung [. . .] gleicht das ganze literarische Feld einem riesigen (virtuellen) drittenRaum' (p. 93). The essays in the third section address post-war dislocation, but they are in no way limited to physical dislocation. Deborah Vietor-Englander's..." @default.
