Symbole zu unsicheren und mehrdeutigen Identitäten im Roman "Ascheregen" von Joachim Wittstock
(2016)
Joachim Wittstock uses a large number of symbols to illustrate the ideas of his novel Ascheregen. His characters' unclear feeling of identity due to the war troubles is a key topic of his text. Thats why a lot of important symbols that refer to this topic can be identified. This study deals with the unsettled front line and the mixed uniform parts but also with the fissured lime tree and the parly loss of the eyesight as examples which can be connected with the feeling of identity of some of the characters. Besides the use of symbols Wittstock also builts on the mix of real facts and fiction. This way he creates a vagueness that can be connected with the identity topic too and that is dealt with in this study.
The present study refers to a working method of the writer Joachim Wittstock from Sibiu, namely to the use of the factual (published or unpublished works, quotations, press releases, etc.) for creating literary works, i.e. fiction. Horst Schuller uses examples from the novels Ascheregen (1985) and Bestätigt und besiegelt (2003) as well as from the volume of stories Keulemann und schlafende Muse (2005). Beyond the factual-fictional structure of the texts the author stresses elements of interculturalism, intertextuality and of what is understood as “high style” and the esthetic character of Joachim Wittstock’s works
Lucrarea de faţă tratează ultimul roman - Die uns angebotene Welt [Lumea oferită nouă] - al scriitorului sibian de limbă germană, Joachim Wittstock, apărut în toamna lui 2007 la editura bucureşteană ADZ. Opera lui Wittstock este pe de o parte un Bildungsroman centrat pe conturarea personalităţii protagonistului Georg Herwäst, o proiecţie biografică a autorului, dar care are şi o componentă iniţiatică, având în vedere că romanul conţine indicii despre conturarea viitorului scriitor. Pe lângă acestea avem aici o încercare artistică de a explica cititorului, prin prisma unor evenimente trăite, perioada de început a “dictaturii comuniste” din România”. Titlul romanului sugerează caracterul reflexiv şi complexitatea acestuia. Cititorul poate să-şi imagineze: aspecte biografice, politice, filozofice şi poetologice în acelaşi timp.
Vorliegende Arbeit setzt sich zum Ziel, einen weniger besprochenen Aspekt aus dem Werk von Joachim Wittstock aufzugreifen und auf dem Hintergrund des allgemeinen Kontexts rumäniendeutscher Literatur der 70er und 80er Jahre zu analysieren. Vor allem werkpoetologische Aspekte sowie einige Motive und Aufbau- prinzipien seiner Lyrik stehen im Mittelpunkt der Untersuchung.
Our analysis of Joachim Wittstock‘s narrative entitled Hades and published thirteen years after the fall of the communist regime in Romania aims at pointing out the intimate connection between socio-political reality and personal experience refl ected by the creative process of turning reality into fi ction by writing. We consider the chosen narrative both as a political and literary statement, refl ecting much of the way of life in Romania during the late 1980s. The narrative may be considered as some kind of withheld fi ction and a pertinent comment of the author as to the role of fi ction in a totalitarian regime.
Space is important in all arts, that attempt at representing a certain mood and at suggesting the idea of embodiment. Space results from the presence of objects, of characters and environment, it is generated by and generates itself performative acts and structures. Starting from speech act and performativity theories relevant in literary and theatre studies, our article aims at an analysis of the space dimension in some texts of German authors writing in Romania. The main accent will be laid on the role of literary province reflecting both a sense of universality and of spacelessness.
The present article focuses on the problem of remembering and on some places of remembrance of the Transylvanian landscape as well as on the way these aspects are presented in the works of two German writers from Romania, Eginald Schlattner and Joachim Wittstock. Although the theme and the places are identical or nearly identical, the approach of the two writers is different. Whereas in Eginald Schlattner’s work there can be perceived an endeavor to create a “closed” form, an “open” form predominates in Joachim Wittstock’s work, namely the merging of reflection with a quasi-documentary style.

Die Wende 1989 in Joachim Wittstocks Erzählung "In der Nachbarschaft. Von der Schwäche der Macht"
(2010)
The present article deals with Joachim Wittstock’s story In der Nachbarschaft. Von der Schwäche der Macht. Wittstock’s narration presents in the form of a diary the upheaval of 1989 in Sibiu, Romania. We try to analize the story in a wider context, as we consider that the changes of 1989 in Eastern Europe cannot be judged only within the context of their own country, they have to be judged against the European context. Overcoming dictatorship in 1989/91 in East-Central Europe can be regarded as a culturally formative era border; through the restoration of freedom there was a change within all societies of the former Soviet bloc.
How the Romanian Revolution is depicted in Wittstock’s text will be discussed in the following article. The importance of the text for the consolidation of the collective and cultural memory is also an issue stressed in the present analysis.
