- W75163472 abstract "This thesis considers how, and in what ways, specificities of Australian history and culture have influenced literary representations of the Third Reich perpetrator, bystander and victim. I argue that the depiction of these three roles, in Australian fiction published from the mid-1940s through to the present day, shows some parallels with “shifts and changes” identified by European scholars in views of the Third Reich, and in perspectives on literary representations of this triad in cultural production. I contend that Australian fiction enables, in varying degrees, a rearticulation of what may be considered traditional representations of the triad. Furthermore, I argue that these Australian literary representations also show some extensions of traditional portrayals in Australia and elsewhere, of the Third Reich perpetrator, bystander and victim, in literary and other genres of cultural production. My methodology draws upon some European discussion relating to the historicising and, in some instances, a move towards the normalising of the Third Reich through literary works, with a particular focus on debates surrounding the contextualisation of the categories of the Third Reich triad. I also refer to aspects of Australian history to argue that facets of the Australian past are influential in shaping narratives containing these triadic roles, at times enabling what could be regarded as less-considered representations of these typologies. Chapter one explores significant “turning points” in German history in the aftermath of the Third Reich, relating this history to ethical, political and cultural influences that have shaped representations of the three characters in some European writing, both critical and analytical, and creative. Chapter two examines aspects of Australian history and culture to argue that this particular past has played a role in the formation of the triad in Australia’s fiction; mentioning, for example, a colonial and post-colonising past in relation to the Indigenous population, and ethnocentrically-loaded immigration policies. Chapters three through to eight discuss and analyse Australian literary representations of the perpetrator, bystander and victim; these characters are transplanted to an Australian setting, and/or depicted in war-torn or post-World War Two Europe. These chapters are framed by an analysis of how far “shifts and changes” in the conceptualisation and function of these characters, in any specific narrative, can illuminate various understandings of the triad in the context and environment of Australian society and culture." @default.
