Abstracts

EN

This article draws attention to the specific way in which the important German author Christa Wolf turns scientific findings on memory into literary material in her work. Remembrance and the associated self-exploration and self-knowledge form the core of what Christa Wolf calls subjective authenticity. Her key self-reflexive texts stage the process of writing, in which self-questioning intermingles with reflections on the process of remembrance and the literalization of the phenomenon of memory. In the 1990s, the author became the target of traumatic discourse practices in the non-literary space. The article also addresses the question of how interdiscursive remembrance contrasts with stereotypical interpretations of the past. Its potential may stimulate a critical distance from hegemonic discourse and the communication of differentiated knowledge.
