Abstract
The second novel of Theodora Bauer (b. 1990) demonstrates the importance of historical awareness in contemporary Austrian literature and the significance of the ‘temporal turn’ in literary studies, time studies, and memory studies. Chikago is a Zeitroman in a double sense, referencing historical time and reflecting on time as such. Predicated on Nietzsche’s concept of ‘ewige Wiederkunft’, it turns a story of emigration and re-migration in the 1920s and 30s, the rise of Fascism, and of precarious lives into a parable for our own day.
期刊介绍：
Oxford German Studies is a fully refereed journal, and publishes in English and German, aiming to present contributions from all countries and to represent as wide a range of topics and approaches throughout German studies as can be achieved. The thematic coverage of the journal continues to be based on an inclusive conception of German studies, centred on the study of German literature from the Middle Ages to the present, but extending a warm welcome to interdisciplinary and comparative topics, and to contributions from neighbouring areas such as language study and linguistics, history, philosophy, sociology, music, and art history. The editors are literary scholars, but seek advice from specialists in other areas as appropriate.
