Renewing Resistance at Sea and on Isles: Peter Weiss's The Aesthetics of Resistance, Volume 2, for the Twenty-First Century
Eroding the value of human life and obscuring the discernibility of shared futures, the twenty-first century's unabating civilizational calamities compel desperate attempts to advance individual and social renewal in the navigation of dark times. Mindful of such need, this article examines the transhistorical resourcefulness of Peter Weiss's Die Ästhetik des Widerstands (The Aesthetics of Resistance) with regard to contemporary challenges. School…
Divided Berlin and Cold War Aesthetics: Mediating the Wall in Literature and Film
The seeming permanence of the Berlin Wall and the spaces it separated during the Cold War placed unique demands on artistic mediations of the city’s material, geopolitical, and social opposition. This article assembles a set of literary and cinematic narratives by Peter Schneider, Thomas Brasch, Helke Sander, and Christa Wolf to examine aesthetic forms as emergent responses to restrictions and enclosures west and east of the Wall. Contributing to…
An Epic's Hydropoetics: On the Waters of Uwe Johnson's Jahrestage
This article addresses the narrative, metaphorical, and structural reliance of Uwe Johnson's Jahrestage on the element of water.

Facts of Migration, Demands on Identity: Christian Petzold's Yella and Jerichow in Comparison 1
This article explores Christian Petzold's cinematic contribution to processes of identity‐formation in a unified Germany by comparing the treatment of migration in his films Yella and Jerichow . In these two films, Petzold suggestively crosses the East‐West divide of the nation with ethnic, gender, and class difference to expose lingering fault‐lines in German society. By focusing on Petzold's correlation of East‐West German with German‐Turkish t…
Critical Storytelling and Diabolical Dialectics: Alexander Kluge and the Devil's Blind Spots
Does dialectical method induce clairvoyance or blindness? Alexander Kluge's Die Lücke, die der Teufel läßt probes this question by exploring the theoretical interests of the Frankfurt School on literary terrain. In his experimental storytelling, Kluge suggestively and playfully deploys the devil as an unlikely ally of enlightenment. This enables him to redress the relationship of enlightenment to contingency and its blind spots as well as investi…
