Feeling Trauma
The article explores the representation of cultural trauma in cinema, challenging the common perception of film’s inability to fully capture traumatic experiences. The author introduces an approach to trauma representation based on theories of empathy along with some postulates formulated in the field of neurofilmology. Using Franziska Stünkel’s The Last Execution (2021) as a case study, the author examines the depiction of trauma stemming from o…
Deutsches Haus —empathisches Engagement in die Aufarbeitung der nationalsozialistischen Verbrechen
2023 erschien auf der Streaming-Plattform Disney+ die Miniserie Deutsches Haus. Die Serie basiert auf dem gleichnamigen Roman von Annette Hess und folgt der Dolmetscherin Eva Bruhns. Obwohl die 24-jährige Protagonistin sich auf deutsch-polnische Wirtschaftsübersetzung spezialisiert hat, wird sie von der Frankfurter Staatsanwaltschaft für den Prozess gegen ehemalige Mitglieder des Personals des Konzentrationslagers Auschwitz angestellt. Dieser Art…
Not only Väterliteratur
This article explores the adaptation of Peter Henisch’s novel Die kleine Figur meines Vaters made by Wolfgang Glück. The film produced by three (Austrian, West German and Hungarian) television companies focuses on conversations between father and son that relate to the Nazi past of the latter. What initially was planned as a biographical novel, in the end, became an intermedial work drawing on literature, a magnetic tape containing a recorded ora…
Austrian national identity in the centre-periphery model
This article deals with the question of Austrian national identity, seen as a case study set within the theoretical frameworks of the centre-periphery model, and in particular, the theories of cultural emancipation of a periphery from the preponderance of a centre. The article examines , firstly, the unequal partnership between Germany and Austria, whose roots are to be found in the rivalry between the Habsburgs and Hohenzollerns, and, secondly, …
The Permanent Exhibition in the Documentation Center of Austrian Resistance and Its Role in Austria's Dealing with the Nazi Past and the Holocaust
Austria is often viewed as a country that has come to terms with the National Socialist past only arduously concealed behind the myth of being the first victim of Hitler's Germany. One of the participants that contributed to a shift in the memory has been the Documentation Center of Austrian Resistance, established in 1963. Even though its name suggests that it focuses mainly on the resistance between 1938 and 1945, it also encompasses the docume…
Powrót do ruin. O atrakcyjności niemieckiego powojnia
Return to the Ruins: The Appeal of Post-War Germany One of the most important dates in Germany’s postwar history was May 6, 1955, when the Federal Republic joined the North Atlantic Alliance, an event which perfectly reflected the dynamics of geopolitical changes that had taken place in the ten years since the end of World War II. The article focuses on the depictions of the German civilian population in selected motion pictures which, at least i…
Seeking German‐Polish Reconciliation through the Heritage Genre
This essay examines the recent German‐Polish limited series Der Überläufer (2020), a co‐production that shows many of the principal characteristics of German heritage aesthetics. In some regards, it functions as a pastiche of film styles reminiscent of the late 1940s and 1950s: the series employs melodrama to smooth over the differences between past and present, and by juxtaposing the wartime suffering of a German and a Pole, it converts a dark h…
Revisiting Austria
In Revisiting Austria, Gundolf Graml examines the degree to which tourist discourse facilitated the development of an Austrian normality after 1945 (p. 34). As the author reports, it is a result of both exhaustive research on pivotal questions concerning the Austrian national identity, and many journeys: ‘geographically, intellectually, and personally’ (p. xi). The book might be seen as a continuation of research that explores the phenomenon of A…
Who Do We See in the Protagonist of the Captain (2017)
The Captain ( Der Hauptmann ), directed by Robert Schwentke, was the German director's first film with a German crew and in his native language since 2003. It was screened in German cinemas in March 2018 and met with a mixed response from the press. In this article I analyse the film, with the main emphasis being on the question of identification with the film and its protagonist. I employ a number of concepts from psychoanalytic film theory to a…

Excavating the Nazi past in Austrian contemporary film
Although the Holocaust undoubtedly belongs to the Austrian cultural memory, the memory of the genocide appears to be limited to the crimes perpetuated on Austrian territory or in the concentration camps. Two films produced recently – Anatomy of a Trial and The Testament, shift the focus onto the exoneration of Nazi perpetrators and the case of the crimes perpetrated on Austrian soil. Plots of both films are predicated upon a search for evidence l…
Hannas schlafende Hunde (2016)
Based on the novel by Elisabeth Escher, the film Hannas schlafende Hunde by Andreas Gruber tells a story about the persistence of antisemitism in postwar Austria. It is a work about coming to terms with a trauma, but on the other hand it also touches upon the question of coming to terms with the Nazi past, a process that was significantly deferred by the foundation myth of being the first victim of the Nazi Germany aggression. In the film one can…
