Abstract

Abstract: This article places Sasha Marianna Salzmann's novel Außer sich (2017; Beside Myself , 2019) in dialogue with Else Lasker-Schüler's experimental prose work Der Malik: Eine Kaisergeschichte (1919; The Malik: An emperor's story) to highlight the shared investments of these two Jewish and gender-variant writers. While situated a century apart, both respond in their work and lives to societal discrimination in similar ways: they make themselves visible as an Other and use the knowledge of their vulnerability as a starting point to build communities that defy antisemitism and gendered oppression. In this context, Lasker-Schüler's rejection of ethnic, religious, gendered, and sexual boundaries and her envisioning of new forms of kinship appear as a precursor of Salzmann's call for inclusive queer-feminist alliances. Reading these works alongside each other invites us to understand the vision of political-personal associations based on the experiences of antisemitism and gendered oppression as an abiding concern of German-Jewish literature.
亲密联想:萨沙·玛丽安娜·萨尔兹曼的《奥ßer sich》(2017)和埃尔斯·拉斯克-施勒的《德·马利克》(1919)中的阅读社区
摘要:本文将萨沙·玛丽安娜·萨尔兹曼的小说《Außer siich》(2017;《在我身边》(2019),与埃尔斯·拉斯克-施勒的实验散文作品《德·马利克:爱的Kaisergeschichte》(1919;Malik:一个皇帝的故事),以突出这两位犹太和性别不同的作家的共同投资。虽然相隔一个世纪,但两人在工作和生活中都以类似的方式应对社会歧视:他们将自己作为他者展现出来,并以了解自己的脆弱性为起点,建立反抗反犹太主义和性别压迫的社区。在这种背景下,lasker - sch勒对种族、宗教、性别和性界限的拒绝,以及她对新型亲属关系的设想,似乎是萨尔兹曼呼吁建立包容性酷儿女权主义联盟的先驱。将这些作品放在一起阅读,可以让我们理解基于反犹主义和性别压迫经历的政治-个人联系的愿景,这是德国犹太文学的持久关注。
