The analyzed texts by Bernhard Schlink present male characters on the threshold of adulthood. The construction of these adolescences is set in the German reality of the post-war society of the 1950s and 1960s. The representation of the conditions of life and growing-up process of the male protagonists emphasizes the leading temporal and social categories, such as the class hierarchy of society, conservative upbringing, stable relations and traditional family roles. Moreover, the leading character constellations, which make the protagonists recall the past of the previous generation, are also significant for their biography and identity. The most important question in the analysis concerns the nature and aim of the participation of the members of the succeeding generation in the events and atrocities of the Nazi era of World War II, and the way those events influence the socio-cultural context of their adolescence and identity.

Around the turn of the millennium, one could witness rapid changes in lifestyles and ways of life. The ‘old’, traditional role assignments have lost their meaning as a valid value system. From the gender point of view, there arises a question whether the postmodern diversity of choices offers women greater opportunities and gains, or whether it leads to disorientation and loss. This issue is examined by investigating texts by two contemporary German women writers, Alexa Hennig von Lange and Silke Scheuermann, who place their protagonists in the cultural context of postmodernism.

In den untersuchten Erzähltexten von Zoë Jenny, Alexa Hennig von Lange und Katja Oskamp wer­den die weiblichen Hauptfiguren in der Adoleszenzphase angetroffen. Im Zentrum der Analyse ste­hen ihre Autonomie- und Ablösungsprozesse, die im Kontext des Elternhauses aufgefasst werden. Entsprechend unterliegt die figürliche Ausrichtung auf die Elternligatur einer Entwicklung und Re­organisierung. Das Augenmerk ruht primär auf den Kennzeichen der Distanz und Distanzierung im Verhältnis Eltern-Kind, bei denen dem Motiv des Schweigens eine repräsentative bzw. symbolische Signifikanz zukommt. Ausgegangen wird davon, dass der Einschluss von dem Merkmal des Nicht-Gesagten bzw. Nicht-Artikulierten – und dies sowohl aufseiten der weiblichen Haupt- als auch ihrer Elternfiguren – zur besseren Erkenntnis der frühen Familienverhältnisse und späteren Ablösungs­prozesse der Hauptfiguren beitragen kann.

In stories by Zoë Jenny, Alexa Hennig von Lange und Katja Oskamp the main characters are ado­lescent females. The analysis centers around the problem of autonomy and loosening of family ties seen as a bid for independence with regard to family house. The above processes shape and change the concept of parenthood depending both on the age of the protagonists and how advanced is the level of adolescent identity. The focus of attention is primarily paid to the recognition of the distance in the relationship between parents and children in which the motif of silence is of utmost impor­tance. It is stated that the inexpressible from the point of view of parents and their offspring alike should lead to a better recognition of mutual relationship, especially how much previous relationship can impact the development of adolescent identity.
