Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research plan is indicated by two points: 1) thorough investigation of tendency of German contemporary literature, and 2) the rethinking "the post war literature" in a frame of the 20th century literature on following that trend. After the opening of the Berlin Wall in 1989, and the re-unification of east-and-west German in 1990 as a turning point, the cultural situation in Germany has been changed. The work which observes and considers this in correlation with society is the main duty of this plan. Moreover, in it, not being as limited research and relativityizing this object period in the framework of the 20th century cultural history is also set to one of the special features of this research. The work which having been carried out within this plan period years 2002-2004 does not remain at a new publicated literary works, but is treated with the various discussions in newspapers and magazines. The themes which mainly took the lead were: German identity and "the others" of it, German discourse on "the Judaic", the argument involving "the past conquest", and the representation of "German negative history".
