Travelling memories: Deutschsprachige Kinder- und Jugendliteratur über die Flucht während des Nationalsozialismus und aus der DDR (Studien zu Kinder- und Jugendliteratur und -medien #15)
by Larissa Carolin JagdschianAufgrund der anhaltenden Fluchtbewegungen fordert Aleida Assmann zur Umstrukturierung national ausgerichteter Erinnerungskulturen auf, damit Flüchtlinge mehr an Erinnerungsprozessen partizipieren können. Diese Forderung greift die Studie am Beispiel der Untersuchung der topografischen und erinnerungskulturellen Darstellungen der Flucht in der Kinder- und Jugendliteratur auf, indem ein Modell des Gedächtnisses der deutschsprachigen Kinder- und Jugendliteratur entwickelt wird. Im Vordergrund stehen zwei historische Phasen: die Flucht während des Nationalsozialismus (1933–1945) und die Flucht aus der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik (1957–1989). Mit der vergleichenden Untersuchung von Exilromanen, realistischen ost- und westdeutschen Kinder- und Jugendromanen nach 1945, DDR-Mädchenromanen, zeitgeschichtlichen und geschichtserzählenden Romanen von u. a. Lisa Tetzner (Die Kinder aus Nr. 67), Kurt Held (Giuseppe und Maria), Erika Mann (A Gang of Ten), Peter Abraham (Die Schüsse der Arche Noah oder die Irrtümer meines Freundes Wensloff), Judith Kerr (Als Hitler das rosa Kaninchen stahl), Lilo Hardel (Karlas große Reise), Brigitte Birnbaum (Reise in den August), Karin König (Ich fühl mich so fifty-fifty), Mirjam Pressler (Malka Mai) und Klaus Kordon (Krokodil im Nacken) wird erstmals das Spektrum der literarischen Gedächtniskonstruktionen von der Flucht während des Nationalsozialismus und aus der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik abgesteckt. Die Studie zeigt in der Verknüpfung von Gedächtnis- und Raumkonzepten, dass sich im Gedächtnis der deutschsprachigen Kinder- und Jugendliteratur die literarischen Gedächtniskonstruktionen über Flucht als „travelling memory“ (Erll 2011) ausgebildet haben. Damit trägt die Studie zur Theoriebildung literaturwissenschaftlicher Gedächtniskonzepte in der Kinder- und Jugendliteraturforschung bei.

Esta "futura" dama de treinta años no parece ser peligrosa, pero no deja de molestar a Anamaría, alternando entre los tontos consejos de Hallmark sobre ser amable contigo mismo y alguna charla misteriosa sobre salvar a una chica. Anamaría definitivamente no necesita que la salven, está bien. Ella trabajo duro en su escuela secundaria estricta y obsesionada con las calificaciones--trabaja tan duro que casi no duerme; tan duro que el estrés la hace criticar no solo a las chicas malas sino también a sus (pocas) amigas; tan duro que cuando finalmente duerme, sus sueños son sobre morir--pero ella solo quiere hacer lo mejor que pueda para poder crecer y tener éxito.

Anamaria definitely doesn't need any saving, she's doing just fine. She works hard at her strict, grade-obsessed middle school--so hard that she hardly gets any sleep; so hard that the stress makes her snap not just at mean girls but even her own (few) friends; so hard that when she does sleep she dreams about dying--but she just wants to do the best she can so she can grow up to be successful. Maybe Thirty's right, maybe she's not supposed to be so exhausted with her life, but how can she ask for help when her city is mourning the much bigger tragedy of its stolen girls? This thought-provoking, moving verse novel will lead adult and young adult readers alike to vital discussions on important topics--like dealing with depression and how to recognize this in yourself and others--through the accessible voice of a thirteen-year-old girl.
