Abstract:

This dissertation examines the development of the female literary subject in the work of two generations of women writers of the GDR, represented by Christa Wolf (1929), Brigitte Reimann (1931--1973), Helga Konigsdorf (1936) and Helga Schubert (1941). The objectives are twofold: first, to assess the influence of two opposing discursive frameworks of subjectivity, the socialist and the psychoanalytic, on the works of these writers, and second, to examine the effects of an ideological disjuncture of two generations on their literary production.
The first generation to embark on a literary career in the GDR, with great aspirations for the socialist project, is represented by Wolf and Reimann. A shift in political parameters meant that the following generation of writers, including Konigsdorf and Schubert, was faced with a pre-determined ideological structure, unsatisfactory to them. Accordingly, a diachronic investigation of the literary subject is pursued, and reveals the shift between these generations. As a result, rifts in time, in the subject, and rifts between the subject and its time are exposed.
In the 1960s, Wolf and Reimann rejected the literary female subject's role as an agent in the implementation of socialism. Crises in GDR social structures and crises of the psyche are shown to overlap and to result in divided subjects. The non-contemporaneity of Marxism begins to surface in the 1970s, and the rift in time affects the female subjects of Wolf and Reimann, which increasingly fragment Konigsdorf's and Schubert's short prose of the late 1970s reveals a rejection of the unified Marxist subject and the move toward a notion of the self informed by Freudian psychoanalysis. In the 1980s, the effects of the socio-political environment prove fatal to the individual subject in the works by both generations, and parallels are drawn to the National Socialist past. These links instigate a fundamental reevaluation of standards in language, power and cycles of history at the crossroads of life and death. The post-Wende period witnesses a shift away from problems of subjectivity in the texts of Konigsdorf and Schubert, while Wolf initially experiments with the postmodern, and most recently, surprisingly re-consolidates the female subject.

Abstract:

The thesis sets out to explain the presence of women writers in the book market of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. In order to do so, it examines the position of women writers in Germany - in the context both of their discursive and of their social reality. The thesis investigates the ideological and material background for women's writing, by exploring the areas of gender ideology, contemporary concepts of authorship, women's reading, and the literary market. The final chapter examines women's freedom of expression in different public circumstances. The thesis argues that women's position in the business of culture in general and literature in particular is not as unpromising as has often been claimed. By investigating less well-known texts on gender roles, such as eighteenth-century journal articles, it is possible to show that the rhetoric of prohibitions, for example regarding women's reading and writing, was by no means uniform, but fragmentary and frequently contradictory. Women's own responses to the conditions under which they were working are highlighted throughout the thesis, and examined on the basis of a range of texts, including unpublished correspondence. The examination of non-literary factors, such as the expansion of the literary market and the emergence of a newly diverse reading public, enables the identification of causes other than gender as determining women's position as writers during this period. In the course of this study, numerous neglected texts are considered, which broaden our understanding of this period of literature. The creative and successful use which women writers made of the opportunities they were afforded is emphasised throughout, thereby making an important contribution to the study of women writers.

Mangan, John Timothy. "Bertolt Brechts Exilleben und Parallelen zur Entstehung des Werkes Leben des Galilei." PDXScholar, 1996. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/5255.

Full text

Abstract:

When Bertolt Brecht flees Nazi Germany in 1933 he spends fourteen years in exile where he writes some of his most significant works, among them, Leben des Galilei. In his Leben des Galilei, Brecht explores the relationship between the individual and society. Using the historical Galileo Galilei as context, Brecht elucidates the responsibility that scientists must accept for how their discoveries are put to use. With his Galilei figur, Brecht expresses his belief that scientific advancement should be employed for the societal advancement of the common person. Brecht wrote three versions of his Galilei work, each showing significant parallels to Brecht's experiences during the corresponding time period of his exile. This thesis will illustrate these parallels. It will first show that the Galilei thematic is to be found in the very first years of Brecht's exile. It then deals with the influences surrounding the writing of the first version while Brecht is in Denmark. The second part of the thesis focuses on Brecht's exile in America and the resulting second version of his Galilei work. Here, working with Charles Laughton on an English translation of the work, Brecht's Galilei undergoes a fundamental change. Brecht attempts to alter the positive perception of the first version's Galileo who cleverly outwits the Inquisition and secretly has his work the Discorsi smuggled out of Italy. Brecht now wants to portray Galileo as a traitor of the people, who missed his chance to help the common people overcome the suppression they were subjected to. This change is strongly influenced by Brecht's experiences in America and the dawning of the Atomic Age. The last section of the thesis deals with Brecht's return to Europe and the third version of Leben des Galilei written in East Berlin. This is a result of translating the American version into German and the addition of scenes and individual elements cut from the first version to make it more appropriate for American audiences. Brecht maintains and tries to heighten the negative portrayal of Galileo as traitor of the common people.

Bagley, Petra M. "Somebody's daughter : the portrayal of daughter-parent relationships by contemporary women writers from German-speaking countries." Thesis, University of Stirling, 1993. http://hdl.handle.net/1893/2134.

Full text

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the complexities of daughterhood as portrayed by nine contemporary women writers: from former West Germany(Gabriele Wohmann, Elisabeth Plessen), from former East Germany (Hedda Zinner, Helga M. Novak), from Switzerland (Margrit Schriber) and from Austria (Brigitte Schwaiger, Jutta Schutting, Waltraud Anna Mitgutsch, Christine Haidegger). Ten prose-works which span a period of approximately ten years, from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s, are analysed according to theme and character. In the Introduction, we trace the historical development of women's writing in German, focusing on the most significant female authors from the Romantic period through to the rise of the New Women's Movement in the late sixties. We then consider a definition of 'Frauenliteratur' and the extent to which autobiography has become a typical feature of such women's writing. In the ensuing four chapters we highlight in psychological and sociological terms the mourning process a daughter undergoes after her father's death; the identification process between daughter and mother; the daughter's reaction to being adopted; and the daughter's decision to commit suicide. We see to what extent the environment in which each of these daughters is brought up as well as past events in German history shape the daughter's attitude towards her parents. Since we are studying the way in which these relationships are portrayed, we also need to take into account the narrative strategies employed by these modern women writers. In the light of our analysis of content and form we are able to examine the possible intentions behind such personal portraits: the act of writing as a form of self-discovery and self-therapy as well as the sharing of female experience. We conclude by suggesting the direction women's writing from German-speaking countries may be taking.

McBride, Barbara L. "Joseph Knecht's pattern of awakening in Hermann Hesse's The glass bead game." Scholarly Commons, 1995. https://scholarlycommons.pacific.edu/uop_etds/2284.

Full text

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis is to establish the pattern of Joseph Knecht's awakening in Hermann Hesse's The Glass Bead Game. Based on the premise that Knecht, unlike Hesse's previous protagonists, is an integrated individual living within a disintegrated and segregated environment, a secondary intent of this paper is to examine the paradox of Knecht's Castalian existence. Each chapter concentrates on a stage of Knecht's development, both formally as a Castalian, and psychologically as an individual who is committed to serving the highest authority. This authority is not the rigid, one-dimensional Castalia but rather the dynamic force which governs all life. Knecht compares himself to music and perceives his life as a process of becoming. As he ascends the ladder of Castalian hierarchy, Knecht's own consciousness develops through the intervention of several antithetical figures who challenge him to reconcile the subjective nature of Truth and the transience of all forms. When he can no longer justify serving an Order which is governed by the pretense of perfection and permanence, Knecht feels obligated to warn Castalia of its own temporality and to resign his position as Magister Ludi. Knecht's leap beyond Castalia and into the deadly lake at Belpunt serves two purposes; not only does he take the first step toward integrating Castalia and the outside world, but he fulfills his own life by sacrificing himself to his pupil Tito.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis explores a short drama of Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach, Without Love. It provides not only a complete English translation of the work, but also an interpretative introduction. By first examining the life of Ebner-Eschenbach, I am able to provide insight to the origins of the play. Because Ebner-Eschenbach faced so much opposition in her drama writing career this one act play becomes more relevant. It contains similar themes to her other works such as: gender roles, the role of the aristocracy, and love in marriage. Without Love examines the role of love in marriage by providing the reader with a comedic scenario in which a couple claims to marry without love. While purporting a marriage without love, there is in fact a great deal of love in the play. Love is an enabling power in the story that causes great change in the characters f lives. Ebner-Eschenbach uses love to argue against traditional romantic marriages and lay the pathway for a future where women can reject the patriarchal society and love for themselves. There is however, a distinct irony in the story because the title is after all, Without Love. I propose that love is indeed everywhere throughout the play and that Eschenbach uses this theme to push her own agenda of the modern women in aristocratic societies. Eschenbach writes in both a pre-modern and modern style and uses love to ensure the preservation of her own aristocratic class while advocating for social reform for all classes.

Abstract:

Este tese aborda a obra do escritor judeu austríaco Joseph Roth, buscando entender a crítica que ele faz à modernidade como resultante de um ponto de vista singular, determinado pelo encontro entre dois mundos: o mundo do tradicionalismo judaico no Leste europeu e o mundo da monarquia habsburga, em seus anos finais. Pretende-se demonstrar que é tomando como referência os parâmetros destes dois universos que Roth dirige um olhar cético para a modernidade e para o mundo pós-1ª. Guerra Mundial. Ao mesmo tempo, pretende-se demonstrar como o conceito de exílio está inextricavelmente ligado a uma obra crítica com relação a seu tempo, embasada na memória de dois mundos em extinção. Trata-se, porém, de um exílio que se configura mais como a expulsão de um tempo do que como uma simples expulsão geográfica - o que o torna, de certa maneira, mais trágico. O exílio é também uma das categorias centrais da reflexão mística e filosófica judaica, e neste sentido busco apontar para as coincidências entre o tema do exílio em Roth e nas doutrinas desta tradição. Ao conceito de exílio corresponde, como seu duplo e seu oposto, o conceito de Heimat (terra-mãe), que em Roth se torna uma categoria abstrata, pertencente ao universo da metafísica e da memória, e ,como tal, objeto de culto e paradigma, à luz dos quais ele interpreta a realidade do universo europeu entre-guerras. Diante do que foi discutido sobre os temas acima, conclui-se que esta Heimat imaginária afigura-se como uma das suas obsessões literárias, em torno da qual ele construirá uma obra que é, sobretudo, a tentativa de restauração de uma paisagem humana desaparecida e um retrato profundamente nostálgico da memória de uma civilização, ancorada na Idade Média, e sepultada pelo tempo e pelas guerras.
This thesis discusses the oeuvre of the Jewish Austrian writer Joseph Roth, and aims at an understanding of his critique of modernity, which is seen as a result of a unique point of view, determined by the encounter between two worlds: the traditional world of Eastern European Jewry on one hand and the world of the final years of the Habsburg Monarchy on the other. I try to show that Roth takes a skeptical look at modernity and at post-World War I Europe using the paradigms of these two lost worlds.At the same time I aim at demonstrating how the concept of exile is deeply rooted in his critique of modernity. However he is dealing with an exile in time here, as opposed to a purely geographical exile - an exile that is far more tragic, since it is irreversible. Exile is also a core theme in traditional Jewish mystical and philosophical thought and I try to point to coincidences in the treatment of this topic in Roth and in traditional Jewish doctrines.The concept of exile has the idea of Heimat or homeland as its opposite, and in Roth Heimat becomes an abstract category, pertaining to the universe of metaphysics and memory, in the light of which he interprets European civilization of the 1920´s and 1930´s.I conclude by showing how this fictive Heimat turns into one of his literary obsessions, around which he will build an oeuvre, which is, more then anything else, an attempt at restoring a vanished human landscape, anchored in the Middle Ages and buried by time and by wars.

Full text

Abstract:

Born in 1862, Gerhart Hauptmann witnessed the creation of the German Empire, the Great War, the Weimar Republic, the Third Reich, and World War II before his death in 1946. Through his works as Germany's premier playwright, Hauptmann traces and exemplifies Germany's social, cultural, and political history during the late-nineteenth to mid-twentieth centuries, and comments on the social and political climate of each era. Hauptmann wrote more than forty plays, twenty novels, hundreds of poems, and numerous journal articles that reveal his ideas on politics and society. His ideas are reinforced in the hundreds of unpublished volumes of his diary and his copious letters preserved in the Prussian Staatsbibliothek, Berlin. In the 1960s, Germans celebrated Hauptmann's centenary as authors who had known or admired Hauptmann published biographies that chronicled his life but revealed little of his private thoughts. This dissertation examines Hauptmann's life from his early childhood through his adult life with emphasis on social and political commentaries found in his works, diaries, and letters. Hauptmann told of the social problems alcohol and greed created and used historical events to express his concern about Germany's labor and social conditions. He also used historical events to address the political problems that plagued Germans and their government. Even his fairytale, Hannele criticized the Volk's rejection of his view of German nationalism and unity. In all his works, Hauptmann challenged the Volk to find strength within their own souls and to reject the materialism of the modern world. Hauptmann's published and unpublished works reveal a man who found comfort and strength in the Volk and völkisch Kultur. He yearned for a united German Kultur and shaped his politics and commentaries to achieve unity. This dissertation examines Hauptmann's vision of German unity which winds its way throughout his works, an idea overlooked in other biographies and critiques.

Jean Améry est l’initiateur d’un discours où l’accent est mis sur l’expérience de la privation totale de liberté et sur le suicide comme paroxysme de l’acte libre voulu par le survivant des camps de concentration. Imre Kertész fonde, lui, une écriture synonyme de stratégie de survie. Le suicide y constitue le moyen fictionnel, pour l’être survivant, de regagner sa liberté et son propre « destin ».

Résumé :

La thèse se propose d´analyser l´articulation littéraire du thème de la survivance, thème étudié à travers un corpus déterminé. « Articulation littéraire » est à entendre ici au sens de vecteur d’écriture dans l’acception la plus riche, à savoir depuis la représentation, les procédés littéraires jusqu’au processus lui-même. Le titre original du texte s’articule autour du vocable « Weiterüberleben », lequel opère une synthèse entre les deux facettes « survivre » et « continuer à vivre ».

A cet égard, le choix du terme « survivance » en français semblait très approprié. Celui-ci s’oppose dans un premier temps au mot usuel de « survie » par l’accent qu’il met sur l’action, la durée, la continuité ainsi que l’irréversibilité de cette expérience.

Dans un deuxième temps, dire « survivance » signifie introduire d’emblée un impact philosophique intentionnel qui place le phénomène étudié dans le sillage conceptuel de Derrida – différance, restance, absence, démeurance. A ce titre, la survivance peut être considérée comme trace et hantise au même moment.

Dès lors, le mouvement exprimé dans le titre sert de matrice ;dans le « discours sur la survivance », la survie n’est plus la condition d’écriture mais le véritable objet et, si l’on veut, l’objectif de cette écriture. Ce discours articule a) une reconquête de la dignité et liberté qui contient la possibilité du suicide, b) le vœu de continuer à faire vivre la mémoire à la Shoah et aux survivants et c) l’écriture comme stratégie de survie et résistance contre l’oubli.

Le centre de gravité de ce travail est l’étude du rapport entre l´expérience des survivants des camps de concentration et l’écriture de celle-ci. Il s´agit dès lors de se pencher sur les formes d´écriture qui traitent de cette problématique. Le témoignage, d´abord :quel est son rôle en tant que mise en parole d’une expérience ?A côté du témoignage, on observe l´émergence du traitement fictionnel de la thématique.

Une interrogation sur les modes d´émergence littéraire de ce sujet nécessite le passage par une historiographie parcourant les principales tentatives antérieures de représentation. Le témoignage a d´ores et déjà offert des possibilités intéressantes en tant que vecteur de représentation mais a également révélé ses limites. La fiction a montré quelle portée elle peut avoir ;si elle permet entre autres une ouverture du discours, elle se heurte aussi à des obstacles tels que les problèmes de la factualité, de la vérité, de l´authenticité.

Tout en puisant chez bon nombre d´autres écrivains, la thèse se base sur un corpus de deux auteurs emblématiques pour ce qu´ils ont apporté dans le domaine concerné :Jean Améry et Imre Kertész.

Le choix de Jean Améry se justifie notamment par le fait qu’il est l’initiateur d´un discours de la survivance où l´accent est mis sur l´expérience de la privation totale de liberté et sur le suicide comme paroxysme de l´acte libre voulu par le survivant. Kertesz, prix Nobel 2002, apparaît comme l’héritier d´Améry mais, dans une sorte de retournement, transforme le discours négatif de celui-ci en un discours positif par une analyse en termes de dialogicité et d´intertextualité.

Notre point de départ dans l’œuvre d’Améry est son essai sur la torture (« Par-delà le crime et le châtiment », 1966). C’est là qu’il insiste sur l’irréversibilité du moment subjectif qu’est la torture (« Celui qui a été torturé reste torturé ») ;Améry construit à cet endroit le fondement de la « perspective de la victime » et pose, dans le voisinage immédiat, la question de savoir comment surmonter l’insurmontable.

Avec le concept de « contre-violence », Améry explore le paradoxe de la libération – ou la « réversibilité de l’irréversible » – à travers les crises existentielles de son protagoniste (et alter ego) Lefeu (artiste-survivant); son roman-essai « Lefeu ou la démolition » donne lieu à l’analyse de ce phénomène paradoxal, cher à l’auteur.

L´exposé des quatre concepts fondamentaux d´Améry, également fondateurs de tout discours sur l´Holocauste – la perte de la confiance existentielle, le ressentiment, l´exil et la judéité – prépare la voie à une analyse détaillée du discours sur le suicide déployé dans « Porter la main sur soi ». En franchissant les frontières de la psychologie et les limites de la langue, Améry procède à une phénoménologie du suicide qui souligne la liberté individuelle mais qui écarte en même temps l´individu de la société.

Imre Kertész, dont l´œuvre marque le passage vers la fiction par sa trilogie « Etre sans destin », « Le refus », « Kaddish pour l´enfant qui ne naîtra pas », place l´individu dans toute sa fragilité face à l´Histoire nazie et communiste en faisant de celui-ci un survivant « sans destin », c´est-à-dire sans existence personnelle. Regagner son propre destin devient la modalité de la survivance.

Une analyse détaillée de son essai « L’Holocauste comme culture » inscrit d’emblée Imre Kertész dans la filiation de Jean Améry. Cet essai peut être lu comme un manifeste éthico-esthétique ;il insiste sur la nécessité de transposer l’expérience vécue dans l’espace littéraire. A cette condition seulement, le survivant réussit à survivre grâce et à travers les œuvres qu’il crée. Il y réussit en effet à figurer la « catharsis » ou à transfigurer la matière brute du vécu pour pouvoir continuer à survivre.

Tout en refusant catégoriquement le suicide pour des raisons éthiques, Kertész met paradoxalement en scène au cœur de Liquidation le suicide d´un écrivain né à Auschwitz. Il pose ainsi la question de « ce qui reste » de l’expérience de la survie après la disparition des survivants et, donc, au-delà de la possibilité d’en témoigner.

L’analyse monographique de ces deux auteurs permet, d’une part, de démontrer la relation référentielle qui lie Kertész à Améry, d’autre part, d’étudier la problématique à travers deux générations, deux appartenances historiques et deux univers culturels différents. Elle débouche ainsi sur une histoire interculturelle et transgénérationelle de la survivance à l’époque des totalitarismes.

Abstract:

In dieser Dissertation wird Jean Amérys Ethik der Erinnerung auf ihre philosophischen, politischen und literarischen Implikationen hin untersucht. Dabei wird sie als ein moegliches philosophisches Fundament fuer den westdeutschen Auschwitz-Diskurs und die westdeutsche Nachkriegsliteratur vorgestellt. Ihre Besonderheiten gewinnen auf der Grundlage eines Vergleichs von Amérys erinnerungspolitischen Positionen mit jenen Theodor W. Adornos Kontur, der allgemein als der philosophische Begruender der deutschen Literatur nach 1945 gilt. Beide Intellektuelle denken ausgehend von ihrer Verfolgungserfahrung als Juden deutscher (Adorno) bzw. oesterreichischer (Améry) Herkunft. Doch anders als Adorno, dem 1938 die Emigration nach Amerika gelang, wurde Améry als politischer Widerstandskaempfer gefoltert und nach Auschwitz deportiert. Vor diesem Hintergrund geht es um die Frage nach der erkenntnistheoretischen Bedeutung der koerperlichen Erfahrung der Vernichtung beim Versuch, ein der Zaesur Auschwitz angemessenes Denken zu begruenden. Hierzu werden erstmals Amérys Anleihen bei dem Phaenomenologen Maurice Merleau-Ponty systematisch analysiert. Wie er geht auch Améry davon aus, dass die koerperliche Wahrnehmung eines Menschen in entscheidender Form ueber sein Engagement in Kultur und Gesellschaft mitbestimmt.

Im Rahmen der Forschungsarbeit werden saemtliche Werke Amérys beruecksichtigt, inklusive seiner zum Teil noch unveroeffentlichten Nachlass-Arbeiten. Sie ist in drei Teile aufgegliedert, in denen jeweils eine der Werkepochen, die Améry auf seinem Werdegang als politischer Schriftsteller durchlaeuft, zentral steht: sein politisches Erwachen 1934/35 in Wien, seine ersten Schreibversuche nach der Befreiung aus dem Konzentrationslager Bergen-Belsen zwischen 1945 und 1949, und zuletzt die Ethik der Erinnerung des kanonischen Améry, die er in zwei Werkepochen erarbeitet hat, in denen er sich jeweils unterschiedlichen Fragestellungen widmet.(1966-1974 und 1974-1978).

Aus der Literaturzeitschrift "Die Bruecke", die der 22jaehrige 1934 gemeinsam mit einem Freund herausgab, und Amérys Jugendroman "Die Schiffbruechigen" werden in den ersten beiden Kapiteln die fruehen philosophischen und aestetischen Urspruenge von Amérys Ethik eroertert. Im folgenden Kapitel rueckt die Vernichtungserfahrung des Autors in den Brennpunkt. Die Parameter ihrer ersten literarischen Verarbeitung in seinen Schriften aus der unmittelbaren Nachkriegszeit werden herausgestellt, die Améry in seinem Spaetwerk weitergedacht hat. Auf den vorangehenden Forschungsergebnissen aufbauend wird im letzten Kapitel Amérys Ethik der Erinnerung im Vergleich zu jener Theodor W. Adornos erarbeitet. Ihr phaenomenologisches Fundament wird dem geschichtsphilosophischen Fundament des Adornoschen Denkens gegenuebergestellt. Dabei wird gezeigt, dass nicht nur Amérys Denken, sondern auch seine Aesthetik phaenomenologisch ausgerichtet ist. Durch die Analysen in diesem Hauptteil der Dissertation, in dem erstmals alle Essay-Baende auf ihren erinnerungspolitischen Gehalt im Zusammenspiel untersucht wurden, wird Amérys Beitrag zur Begruendung einer postmodernen Ethik und der Gattung der Shoah-Literatur einsehbar.

Abstract:

Both young adult literature and transnational literature occupy transitional spaces and defy simple classifications. Their commonalities naturally suit the two sets of literature for concurrent study. However, the field is underdeveloped, particularly in the United States. With a concentration on the exchanges taking place between the U.S. and Germany, this thesis addresses the need to assemble primary materials and pertinent critical commentary into a single place available to educators, scholars, and researchers to acquire background on transnational YAL themes. The thesis delineates methods used in conducting and compiling research on U.S.-German YAL exchange and highlights the translation and publication concerns associated with this process. It examines how prizes for translations are granted in each nation, identifying organizations that facilitate the process of exchange and describing transnational trends rising out of these circumstances. The concluding chapter visits concerns and complications raised during the investigation, posing questions for further study of the U.S.-German young adult literature relationship and advocating the pursuit of similar research in other world regions. The appendices provide sites for continued examination. They include lists of award-winning translations available in the U.S., novels by American authors that have been translated and published in Germany, and novels by German-language authors that have been translated and published in the U.S.

Abstract:

The style of the Swedish writer Harry Martinson is characterised by a large number of conspicuous and creative word-formation units, which have a special function in his writing. One single word might summarise and denominate an experiance or a complex emotion, sometimes using an exact description, sometimes using a metaphor. The content and the novelty of such nonce forms catch the reader´s or listener´s attention, achieving the intended effect: to make the reader understand what Martinson wants to convey. The present study is an analysis of the neologisms used in two of Martinson´s semiautobiographical novels and their German translations. The object of the study is twofold: firstly to show that the great variety of nonce words-formations as well as their semantics provide the special stylistic markers of the texts, and secondly to draw more general conclusions about the effect of target languages regarding the form, content and function of the units in the texts, as well as their effect on the reader, the concept of equivalence is central. Correspondences and deviations are analysed applying a model specifically designed for the purpose and based in relevant theories. The results illustrate both the various problems a translator must seek to solve and the consequences that simplifications, omissions, and paraphrases might have on the meaning and effect of the text.

Abstract:

The present study investigates the translation of dialectal elements in literary texts from the German and Swedish linguistical and cultural areas. Translation theory generally advises against the translation of dialectal elements in standard language texts thereby implicitly questioning their creative and communicative function. The aim of the study is to investigate to what extent the dialectal elements in the source text are translated by corresponding dialectal elements in the target text thereby promoting a "cultural transfer" or whether a translation method based on translation theory is used. The linguistic material from the novels Die Räuberbande by the German author Leonhard Frank, Tjärdalen by the Swedish author Sara Lidman and Kapten Nemos bibliotek by the Swedish author Per Olov Enquist is microanalyzed. In doing so, the phonetical-phonological, morphological and syntactical dialectal features in the three source texts are treated methodically and are exemplarily and systematically presented together with their translation variants in the target language. The study focuses mainly on the translations of dialectal lexicology, which is investigated according to its contrastive function regarding the translations of standard language, thereby examining its adequacy. By including all the dialectal lexemes appearing in the works and their translations empirical dates have been compiled as a result of the translation methods. The study´s analyses demonstrate that dialectal elements are mainly translated into standard language, that a large part of dialectisms is paraphrased and that a small part is rendered by spoken language without regional limits. A tendency towards increasing use of dialectal elements through the times can be detected as well as a propensity to adapt the translation to the stylistical preferences in the receiving country. Thus, "cultural transfer" is not promoted.

Abstract:

Bei aller Aufmerksamkeit, die das Thema Open Access seit einigen Jahren erfährt, ist die praktische Nutzung längst noch nicht so weit gediehen, wie es von den technischen Voraussetzungen her möglich wäre: Nur 0,8 % aller Zeitschriften in Deutschland oder 2 % der wissenschaftlichen sind frei zugänglich. Es mangelt an Akzeptanz seitens der Autor/inn/n. Auf der Basis einer Befragung von ca. 1000 Personen, die bereits mindestens einen Aufsatz in einer Open-Access-Zeitschrift veröffentlicht haben, werden Maßnahmen entwickelt, wie die Akzeptanz verbessert werden kann. Bei der Analyse der Antworten erweisen sich die Unterschiede für mögliche Fördermaßnahmen zwischen den einzelnen Fachdisziplinen als längst nicht so ausgeprägt, wie es aufgrund des unterschiedlichen Standes von Open Access in den verschiedenen Fächern zu erwarten wäre. Von elementarer Bedeutung ist vielmehr die Frage, welche Ziele der/die einzelne beim Open-Access-Publizieren verfolgt; daraus ergeben sich Ansatzpunkte für fördernde Maßnahmen. Die größte Barriere für die Durchsetzung des Open-Access-Publizierens stellt das etablierte System der Forschungsevaluation dar, das sich fachübergreifend im Begutachtungsverfahren und in den Naturwissenschaften und der Medizin im Impact Factor manifestiert. Hieraus entstehen Akzeptanzhindernisse, die sachlich nicht gerechtfertigt sind und kritisch hinterfragt werden müssen. Mittelfristig ist der Ersatz des Impact Factors durch Verfahren anzustreben, die modernen Publikationsformen besser gerecht werden. Ein internationaler Vergleich zeigt, dass die Schwellenländer nicht nur durch Open Access unterstützt werden, sondern ihrerseits bemerkenswerte Aktivitäten und Erfolge vorzuweisen haben, die weltweit Vorbildcharakter haben und Anregungen für Maßnahmen zur Akzeptanzsteigerung in Deutschland bieten können. Bezüglich Open Access ist daher anstelle der Förderung der Dritten Welt eher ein Eine-Welt-Denken angebracht, bei dem alle Beteiligten voneinander lernen können
Although open access has been discussed intensively for some years, it is far away from being practised to a degree that would meet the actual technical standard. Only 0.8 % of all journals produced in Germany or 2 % of all German scientific journals are in open access. The problem to be overcome is the lack of acceptance by authors. As result of a survey among about 1000 persons who have already published at least one article in an open access journal, measures are suggested how acceptance can be improved. Considering the varying status open access has reached, differences between possible measures in the discliplines prove to be less distinctive as expected. The core question rather is which are the aims of the authors publishing in open access journals. Knowing their aims, measures to enhance acceptance can be derived. The highest barriere for open access is the established system of evaluating scientific research. Accross all disciplines the most important practise is peer reviewing of articles, in sciences and medicine the impact factor is of special importance. This is why the acceptance of open access journals without impact factor is low even if these journals may be characterized by high quality. Therefore the system of evaluation should be reviewed critically, and the impact factor might be substituted by other methods that take into account the specific qualities of modern forms of publications. An international comparison shows that open access does not only support the developing countries in their academic development. Rather, these countries offer considerable activities and achievements that can serve as models for the rest of the world and provide incitations for the improvement of the situation in Germany. This taken as a fact, we should not speak of less developed countries that need support, but rather of one world in which all countries are partners who can learn from each other.
