‘Zwischen Den Zeilen’: A Close Reading of Stefanie‐lahya Aukongo's Neuroqueer Poetry
This article analyses the multimodal poetry of Stefanie‐Lahya Aukongo (b. 1978) through the framework of neuroqueer theory (e.g. Nick Walker, M. Remi Yergeau), showing how her poetic practice exposes and destabilises socially constructed norms of neurotypicality. The article begins with a comparative analysis of Aukongo's prose autobiography Kalungas Kind: Wie die DDR mein Leben rettete (2009) and her poetry volume Buchstabengefühle: Eine poetisc…
Staging Failure? Berta Lask's Thomas Münzer (1925) and the 400th Anniversary of the German Peasants’ War
This article examines Berta Lask's drama Thomas Münzer (1925), which was commissioned by the Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands (KPD) and staged in Eisleben to mark the 400th anniversary of the German Peasants’ War (1524–5) and the execution of Thomas Müntzer. Drawing on cultural memory theory and reading the play as a multi‐layered lieu de mémoire , it argues that Lask attempts to recuperate the revolutionary potential of the failed Peasants’ Wa…
Direkt Aus Dem Krieg in Die Liebe’: Depictions of the ‘Heimatfront’ in the Early Prose of Claire Goll

Analysis of Goll's adaptation an…

Examining the depiction of maternal love which emerges in Bettingen's later poems and her ambivalent attitude towards writing as a form of therapy, it argues that her verse offers an alternative to the responses to loss outlined by Freud in his essay on mourning and melancholia. Finally, the article explores the way…
