Paths to Others
This article explores two stories by Ingeborg Bachmann, ‘Simultan’ and ‘Drei Wege zum See’, both of which feature in the 1972 short‐story collection Simultan . Both stories deal with successful professional women, and both address communication and representation: Nadja in ‘Simultan’ is an interpreter; Elisabeth in ‘Drei Wege’ is a photojournalist. Both are cosmopolitan figures who are often on the move. Bachmann's depiction of these ‘nomadic’ fe…
Keine Zeit Zu Verlieren’
This article explores the handling of time and care in two works by Ingeborg Bachmann: the short story ‘Das Gebell’ and the uncompleted novel Das Buch Franza . It argues that care and time are linked in the works, in a manner that echoes the thinking of Lisa Baraitser ( Enduring Time ). ‘Das Gebell’ offers a critique of masculinist models of time and puts forward a feminist ethics of care. Das Buch Franza points up the difficulty and ambivalence …
Motherhood in Literature and Culture
Ein Einziges Mal War Die Welt in Rot’
This article reads Ingeborg Bachmann's short story ‘Ein Schritt nach Gomorrha’ (1961), about the encounter between two women, in the light of recent theory concerning temporality, futurity, and failure, especially the work of Lee Edelman and Judith Halberstam. Such a queer reading supplements and extends existing readings of the story as documenting a failed attempt to break free of patriarchal power relations. Seeing the text as either ‘positive…
The Case of Helene Hegemann
Helene Hegemann’s 2010 novel Axolotl Roadkill, whose author was seventeen at the time of publication, provoked an instructive controversy. The debates the novel triggered tell us a great deal about contemporary German literary and cultural ideals, especially as far as girls and young women are concerned. Hegemann’s work in fact “queers” such ideals, evoking though its sixteen-year-old heroine Mifti a traumatized yet defiantly perverse subject. Th…
Touching Distance
This article explores Angelina Maccarone's 2005 film Fremde Haut , arguing that it exposes the combined force of the constructs ‘nation’ and ‘gender’, which rely on covert or overt violence to maintain their borders and assert their authority. The film tells of Fariba Tabrizi, an Iranian lesbian who enters Germany illegally. Fariba cross‐dresses in order to gain access to the country, and forms a relationship with a German woman. The article inve…

Disorienting Fictions
This article explores the work of Antje Rávic Strubel (b. 1974), setting it in the context of recent debates concerning post‐unification East German identity. Drawing on the work of Rosi Braidotti and Sara Ahmed, it defines Strubel's work as ‘nomadic’ and ‘queer’, and explores the novel Offene Blende (2001) in this light. It goes on to examine two male characters in later works by Strubel, Kältere Schichten der Luft and Vom Dorf (both 2007), befo…

The “I” inside “her”’
Gender is not something one is, but something one does: a series of acts, repeated over time, which solidify to produce the effect of natural maleness or femaleness (Butler 1990: 33). In this ‘perf
The Hand that Rocks the Cradle
This article puts forth the idea of ‘maternal performativity’ as a way of going beyond pre‐existing feminist conceptions of maternal agency. ‘Agency’ is important because, as numerous feminists have pointed out, the mother in Western culture has traditionally been conceived as passive and mute. I argue that challenging the traditional public/private divide is vital to the project of developing and enacting this maternal performativity, as the nov…
