Valentina Glajar. The Secret Dossier of Herta Müller: A “File Story” of Cold War Surveillance
Humanity in Dark Times: Hannah Arendt and Herta Müller
This paper reads Herta Müller's life and works in the light of those of Hannah Arendt in order to explore Müller's place within broad currents of European history, literature, and thought. Arendt and Müller are ethical, phenomenological, and instinctively iconoclastic thinkers who insist on the value of experience and are unafraid to think and speak, to use Arendt's term, ‘without a banister’. Both mount a modernist challenge to totalising discou…
Introduction: Herta Müller and the Currents of European History
Ten years on from the award of the Nobel Prize in Literature and thirty years after German reunification and the fall of the Ceauşescu regime in Romania is a fitting moment to revisit Herta Müller's work and place it within broader intellectual, geographical, and historical horizons than has hitherto been attempted.It is also time to reconcile
Introduction: The Eastern European Turn in Contemporary German‐language Literature
Poetics of the ‘Gruppenbild’: The Fictions of Vladimir Vertlib 1
Taking as its starting point Vladimir Vertlib's noted ability to cross borders and represent otherness in his writing, the article examines this Russian‐Austrian‐Jewish author's use of narrative form in all his work to date. While his deceptively conventional realist narratives achieve provisional closure at the level of plot, they are structured so as to juxtapose voices, times and modes in a way which probes, but does not resolve, a range of co…
The Eastern Turn in Contemporary German, Swiss and Austrian Literature
This paper notes that recent fiction in German by writers from eastern Europe and former Yugoslavia constitutes a new wave of migrant writing in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. It suggests a provisional unity to these texts based on the snapshot they provide of late-stage communism and the post-communist transformation of eastern and western Europe, focusing on five common scenarios. Yet the considerable areas of overlap with trends in other Ge…
Er ist das Maß”: 1 Franz Kafka in Libuše Moníková
This article explores the reception of Franz Kafka in two novels by the Czech writer, Libuše Moníková (1945–98). In Pavane für eine verstorbene Infantin (1983) Moníková does battle with Kafka's legacy in order to assert her own literary presence. The next novel, Die Fassade (1987), testifies to her success in finding her own voice, but this did not mean holding Kafka in any less high regard: this work, whose central metaphor – a Bohemian castle –…

Contemporary Women’s Writing In German: Changing the Subject
Six key texts by contemporary women writers are read afresh by leading critics, using insights from poststructuralist and new materialist feminist theory. Ingeborg Bachmann, Christa Wolf, and Elfriede Jelinek have long been prominent in the fields of Austrian modernism, GDR writing, and avant-garde Austrian literature. The innovative work of Anne Duden, Herta Müller, and Emine Sevgi Özdamar sets out to challenge dominant models of German identity…
The unforgettable forgotten’: The Traces of Trauma in Herta Müller's Reisende auf einem Bein
Trauma can be read as a metaphor of the (post)modern condition, particularly in a German context. This is because it is associated with aporias in memory and understanding which are nevertheless meaningful because they arise from and speak of specific historical circumstances. This article places Herta Müller's 1989 Berlin novel Reisende auf einem Bein within the context of twentieth‐century trauma literature. I read the protagonist, Irene, as a …
