Fractured Frontiers
A comparative study of "inner" and "territorial" forms of literary exile under Nazism and Francoism, proposing an integrative model of exile that emphasizes common approaches and themes rather than division. Writers opposed to National Socialism or Francoism have been considered either territorial exiles, who left their country, or "inner exiles," who did not. Those who stayed were initially accorded greater status, while those who left were deni…
Dissent and Cultural Pessimism in Ernst Wiechert's Der weiße Büffel oder Von der großen Gerechtigkeit
The use of Aesopian forms of disguise was a key technique for inner emigrant writers under National Socialism who sought to target nonconformist, “esoteric” readers through camouflaged literature. Ernst Wiechert's little‐known novella Der weiße Büffel oder Von der großen Gerechtigkeit provides an illuminating study of the oppositional potential but also ideological limitations of such dissident writing. Discussion of the writer's development from…
Categories of the Non‐conformist
One of the striking features of German literature after the First World War was the increasing popularity of the historical novel. The spread of the genre continued unabated beyond the year 1933 and historical subject matter is to be found in equal measure in the work of exiled writers, oppositionally‐minded inner emigrants and authors loyal to the Nazi cause. Non‐conformist writers within the Third Reich sought through varied techniques of camou…
Ante- and Postdiluvian Reflections of an “Inner Emigrant”
Cultural ‘Diskontinuität’ and Thematic Continuity
Despite his early reputation as a writer in sympathy with Nazi ideals, Wiechert's writing from the late 1920s, his public speeches in Nazi Germany, and his brave public defence of Martin Niemöller ensured he was seen in the immediate post‐war period as a champion of the ‘other Germany’ and a leading ‘inner emigrant’. Subsequent disagreements with the American occupation powers, the civil authorities and returning exiled writers, allied to his ins…
Analysing and evaluating the linguistic benefit of residence abroad for UK foreign language students
This paper reports on a longitudinal study designed to assess the progress made by UK foreign language undergraduate students during the residence abroad (RA) component of their degree. The article first of all places the study within the international research context, and then describes the data collation procedures and methodology employed. It reports findings concerning proficiency gains and the predictive validity of factors such as gender, …
Marks, get set, go
This paper highlights the problem of falling recruitment to foreign language (FL) degrees in higher education, outlining some of the recent changes in secondary FL education which have contributed in part to this situation. It draws attention to the lack of research into the impact that the fall in numbers of students taking a foreign language A level is having on the quality of the intake onto HE foreign languages courses. It reviews the finding…
