Abstract

Uwe Johnson was perceived before 1989 exclusively as a writer of the division of Germany. Born in Pomerania (Kamien Pomorski), he spent his childhood and early youth in Mecklenburg. After obtaining his university degree in German philology in the German Democratic Republic, he moved to West Berlin. In the same year he published his first novel Mutmasungen uber Jakob (the Polish edition Domniemania w sprawie Jakuba appeared in 2008), which besides the reflection on the division of Germany in the context of the Cold War, dividing Europe into two political camps, extensively describes his holidays he spent until 10 years of age in Darzewice near Wolin. It was, looking through the prism of the author’s whole biography, the most happy period in his life and therefore a point of reference for forming a worldview in a bipolar world of the ideological indoctrination. The characters of his novels written in prose, like Jakob Abs, the main character of the novel mentioned above, hail from Pomerania. The article provides an analysis of determinants of the author’s regional identity from the perspective of self-reflection in which a central position occupies the category of small homeland as understood in the theory of concrete utopia (Ernst Bloch), as well that of spiritual affinity (Johann Wolfgang Goethe), and spiritual homelessness (Siegfried Kracauer).
不可以的波美拉奴?Uwe Johnson和波美拉尼亚:一个关于失去的(第一)家园或我来自哪里的主题并不存在
1989年以前,人们只把约翰逊看作是德国分裂的作家。他出生于波美拉尼亚(Kamien Pomorski),在梅克伦堡度过了童年和青年时期。在德意志民主共和国获得德语语言学大学学位后,他搬到了西柏林。同年,他出版了他的第一部小说《Mutmasungen uber Jakob》(波兰语版Domniemania w sprawie Jakuba于2008年出版),除了反思冷战背景下德国的分裂,将欧洲划分为两个政治阵营之外,还大量描述了他在沃林附近的达泽维茨度过的假期,直到10岁。从作者整个传记的角度来看,这是他一生中最快乐的时期,因此,在意识形态灌输的两极世界中形成世界观的参考点。他的散文小说中的人物,比如上面提到的主人公雅各布·阿布斯,都来自波美拉尼亚。本文从自我反思的角度分析了作者地域认同的决定因素,其中以具体乌托邦理论(恩斯特·布洛赫)、精神亲和(约翰·沃尔夫冈·歌德)和精神无家可归(齐格弗里德·克拉考尔)所理解的小家园范畴为中心位置。
