Abstract
In the exploration of Dmitrij Kapitelman's novel Eine Formalie in Kiew, this article focuses on issues of identity, memory, and perception through an analysis of the protagonist Dima's journey. It examines the evolution of Dima's perspectives on Ukraine, revealing a transformation from a blend of German and post-Soviet viewpoints to a nuanced fusion of perceptions. Thereby, the study discusses the implicit collective memory as described by Astrid Erll, embedded in societal thought patterns and its influence on personal perspectives.
期刊介绍:
Oxford German Studies is a fully refereed journal, and publishes in English and German, aiming to present contributions from all countries and to represent as wide a range of topics and approaches throughout German studies as can be achieved. The thematic coverage of the journal continues to be based on an inclusive conception of German studies, centred on the study of German literature from the Middle Ages to the present, but extending a warm welcome to interdisciplinary and comparative topics, and to contributions from neighbouring areas such as language study and linguistics, history, philosophy, sociology, music, and art history. The editors are literary scholars, but seek advice from specialists in other areas as appropriate.
