Abstract:This article explores how Friederike Henriette Kraze’s relatively unknown novel Heim Neuland (1908) depicts an idealized community of German colonialists claiming Heimat in Namibia (German South-West Africa) who are dedicated to peaceful coexistence with the indigenous population. Kraze’s novel links the colonial project to the larger national aim of establishing Germany as a global industrial power. Simultaneously, Kraze presents the colonial setting as a space that offers settler women new freedoms. What distinguishes Kraze’s writing from that of her contemporaries is a focus on the importance of nonviolence for the success of German colonialism. Kraze’s writing is infused with racist rhetoric, but she also defines the use of unjustified violence and cruelty as reasons for exclusion from the colonial community. This is a vision that appears in sharp contrast to the German mercilessness that caused the Herero and Nama genocide, which occurred following the writing of Heim Neuland in January 1905 and prior to its publication in 1908.

Abstract:This article considers Marlen Haushofer’s novel Die Wand (1963) in the contexts of animal (eco)feminism from the 1970s onward and the animal essays of philosopher Cora Diamond. It argues that Haushofer’s novel, in which the female narrator survives behind an invisible wall with a family of animals, anticipates feminist theories of intersection between the oppression of women and of non-human animals and illustrates a feminist ethics of care. The novel attends to animal characters as individuals with agency and, setting up a stylistic and thematic tension between the everyday and the extraordinary, exposes the reader to difficult ideas about animal death and human destructiveness. Despite the novel’s challenge to the conventional way of seeing animals, the narrator ultimately upholds the idea of an unbridgeable barrier between human beings and other species, but she reverses the traditional hierarchy: she values non-human animals more highly than human beings.

Abstract:“Crab and snail are both rare creatures to me,” reads an epigram by Goethe. This article takes the subjective character of the epigram as a point of departure to investigate the curious insistence of snail figures throughout Goethe’s oeuvre, with particular attention to their flexibility, reversibility, and ultimate incoherence. This incoherence has to do with the versatility of the snail as an asexual, trans, queer, but for Goethe, above all, female figure of victimhood (the persecuted maiden, the debauched lover), which in turn triggers feelings of persecution in the libertine. Yet, when Goethe himself is confronted with the female libertine Mme de Staël, he draws on metaphors of snail seclusion to express his own desire for autonomy as well as protection. The encounter between de Staël and Goethe presents an exemplary attempt of hegemonic masculinity to hijack victimhood and to treat it as the last coveted privilege patriarchy lacks.
摘要:“螃蟹和蜗牛对我来说都是稀有的生物”，这是歌德的一句警句。本文以警句的主观特征为出发点，研究了贯穿歌德作品的蜗牛形象的奇怪坚持，特别注意它们的灵活性，可逆性和最终的不连贯性。这种不连贯与蜗牛作为无性恋、变性、酷儿的多样性有关，但对歌德来说，最重要的是，蜗牛是受害者的女性形象(受迫害的少女，放荡的情人)，这反过来又引发了放荡者的受迫害感。然而，当歌德自己面对放荡的女性Mme de Staël时，他借用蜗牛隐居的隐喻来表达自己对自治和保护的渴望。de Staël和歌德之间的相遇展现了一种典型的男性霸权试图劫持受害者，并将其视为父权制所缺乏的最后一个令人垂涎的特权。
