The novel Wer wir sind can be read as a process of dealing with the family experience of migration, shown across generations, as well as the difficult process of learning German and settling into a culturally different context. The analysis of the novel focuses on linguistic and narratological means through which the opposition to the national concepts of monolingualism and the identity of migrants as ‘others’ is expressed. The process of learning German, the role of the German-speaking writer and multilingual identity are presented in the novel as strategies of opposition to the hegemonic national discourse. On the one hand, learning German and writing literary works in this language appear to be subversive activities in relation to oppressive cultural and social norms and acts of self-empowerment. On the other hand, literary images of linguis-tic resistance and self-determination are marked by an awareness of linguistic unattainability and uncertainty. ‘Mastering’ a language, as well as writing literature, is an ambivalent process and work in progress.KEYWORDS: Russian-Jewish-German proseLena Gorelikpost-migrationempowerment Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Den Begriff Dominanzkultur prägte Birgit Rommelspacher. Sie bezeichnet damit die Mehrheitsgesellschaft, d.h. den Teil einer Gesellschaft, der wegen seines größeren Anteils an der Gesamtbevölkerung die kulturelle, politische und gesellschaftliche Definitionsmacht für sich beansprucht (Rommelspacher Citation1995).2 Die Tendenz der selbstbewussten Performanz von Unterschieden, die in ,,einer Gesellschaft der Vielen“ zur ,,Grundlage des Zusammenlebens“ (Czollek Citation2017, 121) erklärt wird sowie die ,,Selbstermächtigung“ als Widerstand gegen eine Vereinnahmung durch die Mehrheitskultur stehen im Fokus der seit 2017 in Berlin erscheinenden Zeitschrift Jalta.

An examination of the attestations of the word hæleð in the corpus of Old English poetry reveals that vocative uses of this word are found only in The Order of the World, Judith, Andreas, Elene, and the second half of The Dream of the Rood. The restriction of the vocative use of hæleð to these works is shown to substantiate the theory of composite authorship for The Dream of the Rood and associate the poem’s second half with the Cynewulfian school of poetic composition.KEYWORDS: The Dream of the RoodhæleðauthorshipCynewulf AcknowledgmentsI thank Professor Leonard Neidorf, Zixuan Wei, Kexin Zhang, and Chenyun Zhu for reading this work in draft and assisting me with the composition of it.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Among several dozen stylistic inconsistencies, three are especially salient and deserve mentioning at the outset: the disappearance of hypermetric lines (Fleming Citation1966: 55), longer and difficult-to-divide sentences (Lee Citation1972: 470), and the absence of vivid imagery (Burrow Citation1959: 132) in the second half of the poem.2 This edition was originally published in 1934. Scholars prior to them, Albert S. Cook for instance, also perceived that the poem contained interpolations, see Cook Citation1905: xlii.3 See Burrow (Citation1959: 130); Burlin (Citation1968: 42); Patten (Citation1968: 385); Lee (Citation1972); and Swanton (Citation1996: 77).4 See, for instance, Orton (Citation2000: 160); and Neidorf (Citation2016).5 See Hieatt (Citation1971).6 Citations of Old English poems refer to the editions of Krapp and Dobbie (Citation1931–53), The Anglo-Saxon Poetic Records. Translations of The Dream of the Rood are cited throughout from Clayton (Citation2013).7 In this note, Neidorf points out that in the second half of the poem ‘there is a steep decline in the incidence of verses that begin with a finite verb’ (95) and thus proposes that ‘at least two authors with distinct compositional tendencies contributed to its transmitted text’ (96).8 For the comprehensive data for hæleð, see Appendix.9 The translation is cited from Bjork (Citation2014).10 The translation is cited from Hamer (Citation2015).11 All translations of Andreas are cited from Clayton (Citation2013).12 The translation is cited from Bjork (Citation2013).13 See Timmer (Citation1966); Cassidy and Ringer (Citation1974: 346); Griffith (Citation1997: 47); and Orchard (Citation2006).14 See Bjork (Citation2013: x–xviii).15 For the identification of this frame and the conventional use of it, see Louviot (Citation2016: 163; Citation2018: 283–284). I would like to thank the anonymous referee for calling my attention to this point and making my argument stronger.16 See Kemble (Citation1840: 362–3); Thorpe (Citation1842: 501); Dietrich (Citation1865); and Cook (Citation1905: xl).
