Generationenkonzepte in zeitgenössischen österreichisch-jüdischen Romanen

The article discusses generational relations in novels by Jewish Austrian authors Doron Rabinovici, Eva Menasse, and Robert Schindel, whose work is profoundly marked by an indirect, mediated approach to their ancestors’ experience of the Holocaust. Taking the shared “postmemorial” perspective of their writing as a starting point, the analysis explores how the concept of generation serves as a frame of reference for structuring both the diachronic intergenerational transmission of history as well as synchronically running processes of intragenerational self-assertion as Jews in a gentile environment.

This essay examines family identity, memory and hybridity in Eva Menasse's novels Vienna (2005) and Quasikristalle (2013). The question of identityan individual's age, ethnic background, gender, nationality, qualities, beliefs and values-presents as the key issue in all Menasse's literary works, including the short stories in Lässliche Todsünden (2009) and most recently, the essay collection Lieber aufgeregt als abgeklärt (2016). Another recurring theme is the memory of the Shoah, its effects on families and relationships between Jews and non-Jews, which always seems to linger in the background. Thirdly, the author often focuses on differences between Austrians and Germans, as well as the way each treats their Jewish minorities. Finally, hybridity, i.e. the existence between two or more poles, as well as shedding light on a character's story and a character's circumstances through other characters' perspectives are central to Menasse's approach to writing: Thus, the author examines the hybrid nature of (1) (Jewish) family identity; (2) Jewishness in general; (3) after-effects of Nazi policies on postwar (family) life in Austria-the 'Alltagsfaschismus'-and Germany; (4) differences between Germany and Austria and encounters between Austrians and Germans; and (5) gender, i.e. the way female family members are often overlooked in family narratives, as well as conditions of woman/motherhood in the 20 th and 21 st centuries.
