Abstract

The article deals with Magical Realism, which depicts a literary expression in times of crisis and upheaval. According to Michael Scheffel, Magical Realism is a narrative style that finds expression in times of boundless disorder. Scheffel sees the unlimited disorder as a result of a dual world view (rational/irrational), which usually comes to light through a crisis (identity crisis, war, threat). On this theoretical basis, this article examines Marlen Haushofer's novel The Wall as a literary example of a time of crisis. The novel The Wall offers a multitude of possible interpretations, depending on the reader's approach and the expectations one has of the work. The exceptional value of this prose work lies precisely in the complexity of interpretation. Science fiction, (female) Robinsonade, adventure prose, utopia, women's novel, post-apocalyptic novel, latent autobiography, or dystopia - these are the previous perceptions of the narrative. This novel emphasizes the absurdity and irrationality of human action and strives for a universal historical diagnosis. As a model of Magical Realism, this prose work expands on the conception of realism in the traditional sense.

作为危机表现形式的魔幻现实主义:马伦·豪斯霍夫的小说《墙》
本文讨论的是魔幻现实主义,它描绘了危机和动荡时期的文学表达。根据Michael Scheffel的说法,魔幻现实主义是一种叙事风格,在无限混乱的时代找到表达。舍费尔认为,无限无序是双重世界观(理性/非理性)的结果,通常通过危机(身份危机、战争、威胁)暴露出来。在此理论基础上,本文将马伦·豪斯霍弗的小说《墙》作为危机时期的文学范例进行考察。小说《墙》提供了多种可能的解释,这取决于读者的方法和对作品的期望。这部散文作品的独特价值恰恰在于其阐释的复杂性。科幻小说、(女性)罗宾森纳德、冒险散文、乌托邦、女性小说、后启示录小说、潜在自传或反乌托邦——这些都是之前对叙事的看法。这部小说强调人类行为的荒谬和不理性,力求对历史作出普遍的诊断。作为魔幻现实主义的典范,这部散文作品对传统意义上的现实主义概念进行了拓展。
