Abstract:This article proposes a new reading of Herta Müller's 2009 novel Atemschaukel as a critique of the notion of "reform through labour" that was used to legitimize the Soviet gulag system, drawing attention to the striking similarities between the critique articulated in the novel and Karl Marx's account of the qualitative transformation of the labour process in the course of its real subsumption under capital. I show how several elements of Marx's account are reflected in complexes of figuration that run throughout the novel, amounting to an immanent literary critique of the theoretical foundations of the gulag system.
摘要:本文对赫塔·梅勒(Herta m ller) 2009年的小说《Atemschaukel》进行了新的解读，将其视为对“通过劳动进行改革”这一概念的批判，这一概念被用来使苏联古拉格制度合法化，并注意到小说中所表达的批判与卡尔·马克思(Karl Marx)关于劳动过程在资本的实际包容过程中的质的转变的描述之间的惊人相似之处。我展示了马克思描述的几个要素是如何反映在贯穿整部小说的复杂形象中，构成了对古拉格制度理论基础的内在文学批评。

Abstract:Starting from existing scholarship on the relationship among masculinity, sexuality, and Jewishness in the German-language cultural sphere, this article analyzes the connection between antisemitism and homophobia in Otto Julius Bierbaum's findesiècle novel Prinz Kuckuck. By tracing the respective paths of the Jewish protagonist and his male homosexual counterpart, the article elaborates on the specific versions of Jewishness and male homosexuality that Bierbaum's novel creates. It can be shown that the novel exposes both the Jewish and the homosexual character as deficient and harmful. The novel, however, does not restrict itself to mere parallelization but establishes an intrinsic connection between the Jewish and the male homosexual character by integrating homosexual codes into the Jew's "parasitic" repertoire. The article concludes by offering an explanation of this connection that draws on Moishe Postone's critique of modern antisemitism. Antisemitism and homophobia are shown as two complementary and intrinsically connected ways of dealing with two dimensions of the experience of modernity: capitalism and social contingency.
