Non-Places of Memory in Selected Third-Generation Prose: Postmemorial, Desintegrative, Transnational

Abstract

The paper examines the question of which narratives the authors of the third post-Shoah generation in contemporary German-language prose employ to confront non-places of memory, concentration camps, and Nazi killing sites, using the examples of Channah Trzebiner’s Die Enkelin oder Wie ich zu Pessach die vier Fragen nicht wusste and Sharon Dodua Otoo’s Adas Raum. The narrative strategies for representing concentration camps in selected Third-Generation texts are elucidated from a postmemorial-disintegrative perspective (Hirsch, Czollek) within a transnational context.

Keywords:

Channah Trzebiner, Sharon Dodua Otoo, disintegrative practice, postmemory, transnationality
