In this novel, the narrator and protagonist Briony Tallis decides to become a nurse during The Second World War, as some kind of personal penance. Her auto fictional writing, nonetheless, reveals a possibility to repair her past trauma. The text addresses, more remarkably, the therapeutic properties of autobiographical fiction writing, having as references current assumptions both on trauma theory and life-writing.","PeriodicalId":7554,"journal":{"name":"AFEL","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76435990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to French historiographer Henry Rousso, France suffered from ‘Vichy-Syndrome’ until the 1970s, when the suppressed past surged and brought about an obsessive focus on the period of the Occupation, that France hasn’t overcome until this day (Rousso/Conan 2013). Since the mid-1970s, the period of the Occupation has also increasingly been made a topic of fictional literature. Especially around the turn of the millennium is when many novels are published that discuss the time of the German occupation in France (1940-44). This article analyzes three novels that deconstruct the Gaullist myth of the France resistante and turn against the metaphor of the annees noires. The novels Dora Bruder (Patrick Modiano, 1997), La cliente (Pierre Assouline, 1998) and Un amour sans resistance (Gilles Rozier, 2003) make the gaps in the official discourse of memory visible and highlight the shades of gray that lie between resistance and collaboration.","PeriodicalId":7554,"journal":{"name":"AFEL","volume":"116 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86796169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Per reforcar aquesta idea es posara especial emfasi en la relacio amb els altres cossos i, particularment, amb les substancies additives: aquestes darreres permetran l’aproximacio a la idea de transcorporalitat, que es manifesta com a expressio superlativa del rebuig a la forma unitaria i tancada del cos.","PeriodicalId":7554,"journal":{"name":"AFEL","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74609486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reiches, bis hin zu jenem Erinnerungsboom in Literatur und Film, der Ende der Neunziger Jahre einsetzte. Dieser Boom ist einerseits gekennzeichnet durch eine extreme Kommerzialisierung der Vergangenheit, andererseits aber auch durch kritische Ruckblicke auf fruhere Phasen des Erinnerns, in denen eine klare Instrumentalisierung des Schuldvorwurfs der Nachkriegsgeborenen gegen ihre Elterngeneration aufgedeckt wird. Die Erkenntnis leitende Motivation nachgeborener Generationen hatte teilweise, so der Vorwurf, mehr mit eigenen moralischen und politischen Projektionen als mit der Vergangenheit und ihren Akteuren selber zu tun. Das legt die Hypothese nahe, dass die literarische Suche nach Wahrheit und Gerechtigkeit mit zunehmender zeitlicher Distanz zum 2. Weltkrieg an Glaubwurdigkeit verlor. Dafur wurde sprechen, und das macht den zweiten Teil der Untersuchung aus, dass viele unmittelbar nach Kriegsende publizierten und teilweise noch im Krieg verfassten Texte auf eine viel differenziertere Weise die sehr unterschiedlichen Grade der Verstrickung in das Bose offenlegten, als dies in spateren Jahrzehnten ublich war. Sie kannten vielfaltige Moglichkeiten des Schuldig-Werdens und prasentierten sogar Situationen, in denen es unmoglich ist, nicht schuldig zu werden. Diese Einsichten in das moralische Dilemma der menschlichen Existenz, so die These des Artikels, gingen in den folgenden Jahrzehnten weitgehend verloren.","PeriodicalId":7554,"journal":{"name":"AFEL","volume":"100 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83242354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The novel Das gluckliche Tal (1940) has been considered by Rohlf (2002) as an example of exile literature although it was not written in exile. The objective of this essay is to determine, to what extent the notion of ”exile literature“ can be applied to this and other works of Schwarzenbach. It develops the concepts of the antifascist literature about exile, the motif of the exiled and the wandering traveller, as well as the metaphor of exile. Reading the novels Flucht nach oben and Tod in Persien and the short stories “Das gelobte Land“, “Verklartes Europa“, “Sehr viel Geduld...“ and ”Drei Tage Morgendammerung“ under the scope of exile, one arrives at the conclusion that the literal concepts of exile are fading in light of a more metaphorical sense of exile. The essay ascertains that the designation of Swiss exile literature is only applicable if we situate every work in the historical context of its aesthetics and its testimonial value.","PeriodicalId":7554,"journal":{"name":"AFEL","volume":"139 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82262249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
