TY - JOUR A1 - Becker, Tanja T1 - "Die Quelle des Lebens, der Liebe. Des Hasses und des Todes" : Mutter-Tochter Beziehungen bei Herta Müller, Aglaja Veteranyi, Carmen Francesca Banciu und Gabriela Adameșteanu T2 - Germanistische Beiträge N2 - This article deals with the representation of motherdaughter relationships in novels by Herta Müller, Aglaja Veteranyi, Carmen Francesca Banciu and Gabriela Adamesteanu, all of them born in Romania. Herta Müller and Aglaja Veterani constantly wrote in German, while Carmen Francesca Banciu changed her language after emigrating to Germany and Gabriela Adameºteanu’s language has always been Romanian. Mother-daughter relationships are analysed in regard of female genealogy, but also considering their complexity and ambiguity. It is shown that representations of mother-daughter-relationships are depending rather on individual and psychological criteria than the author’s cultural or ethnic affiliation. Maybe a larger study, which could not be made in this article, could reveal more detailed results.
