Nota di contenuto

Autobiographical writing in the East German context and beyond -- Brigitte Reimann: the constraints of first-person fiction -- Franz Fühmann: the deconstruction of an "exemplary" biography -- Stefan Heym: strategies of self-concealment in fictional and autobiographical mode -- Günter de Bruyn: from the "lies" of fiction to the "truth" of autobiography? -- Christa Wolf: "subjective authenticity" in practice: an evolving.

Sommario/riassunto

A striking feature of today's German literature is the survival of an East German subculture characterized by its authors' self-reflexive concern with their own lives, not only in texts labeled as autobiography but also those in the more ambiguous territory of what Christa Wolf has called 'subjective authenticity.' Dennis Tate provides the first detailed account of this phenomenon: its origins in the 1930s' exile debates, its evolution during the GDR's lifespan, and its manifestations in the work of five East German authors still widely read today: Brigitte Reimann, Franz Fühmann, Stefan Heym, Günter de Bruyn, and Christa Wolf. Tate shows how the preoccupation with self arose from the unusually turbulent circumstances in which this generation has lived. Having



succumbed early to the temptation to simplify their life stories for misguided educational purposes, these authors have repeatedly reconstructed their personal and political identities as their perspectives on the past have shifted. Tate shows the importance of viewing their autobiographical writing as a multilayered historical process, exposing problems with canonical accounts of East German literature and enabling texts published under GDR censorship to be properly appreciated for the first time. Dennis Tate is Professor of German Studies at the University of Bath, UK.

Sommario/riassunto

This book includes select peer-reviewed proceedings from the International Conference on Advances in Renewable Energy and Electric Vehicles (AREEV 2023). It emphasizes the applications of electric vehicles, which are set to dominate the transportation sector by replacing conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. Additionally, the book examines research related to power quality issues arising from vehicle-to-grid integration, along with the challenges presented by distributed network management systems. It also addresses topics such as wide band-gap semiconductor technologies and the modeling and simulation of power electronic converters. This book will serve as a valuable reference for beginners, researchers, and professionals interested in renewable energy, electric vehicles, power electronics, and power systems.
