Himmelskörper (Celestial Bodies) -- $t Backmatter 330 $aMemory Matters juxtaposes in tripartite structure texts by a child of German bystanders (Wolf), an Austrian-Jewish child-survivor (Klüger), a daughter of Jewish émigrés (Honigmann), a daughter of an officer involved in the German resistance (Bruhns), a granddaughter of a baptized Polish Jew (Maron), and a granddaughter of German refuges from East Prussia (Dückers). Placed outside of the distorting victim-perpetrator, Jewish-German, man-woman, and war-postwar binary, it becomes visible that the texts neither complete nor contradict each other, but respond to one another by means of inspiration, reverberation, refraction, incongruity, and ambiguity. Focusing on genealogies of women, the book delineates a different cultural memory than the counting of (male-inflected) generations and a male-dominated Holocaust and postwar literature canon. It examines intergenerational conflicts and the negotiation of memories against the backdrop of a complicated mother-daughter relationship that follows unpredictable patterns and provokes both discord and empathy. Schaumann's approach questions the assumption that German-gentile and German-Jewish postwar experiences are necessarily diametrically opposed (i.e. respond to a "negative symbiosis") and uncovers intersections and continuities in addition to conflicts. 410 0$aInterdisciplinary German cultural studies ;$vv. 4. 606 $aGerman literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGerman literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCollective memory and literature 606 $aWomen and literature$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aNational socialism in literature 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in literature 610 $aHolocaust (in literature). 610 $aNational Socialism (in literature). 610 $aWomen's literature. 610 $ageneration. 615 0$aGerman literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGerman literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCollective memory and literature. 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 615 0$aNational socialism in literature. 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in literature. 676 $a830.9/35843086 686 $aGN 1701$2rvk 700 $aSchaumann$b Caroline$f1969-$01547603 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782777803321 996 $aMemory matters$93804071 997 $aUNINA
