TRAUMAS OF EXILE AND W AYS OF BECOMING A MINOR: POETIC MEMORIES OF “A SUNKEN LANDSCAPE”

Abstract

For a man who no longer has a homeland writing becomes a place to live. (Adorno) As indicated in the title of my paper, it both sets out to investigate the Traumas of Exile and Ways of Becoming a Minor in the sense described by Deleuze and Guattari in their famous book on Kafka (Deleuze, Guattari 1986). More specifically this means looking into ways in which two German speaking Jewish poets, Rose Ausländer (1901-1988) and Paul Celan (1920-1970) – both of them from Bucovina, the “ sunken landscape” in the title of my paper – who, having had to leave their home and native country to escape and to survive the Holocaust, in the aftermath of the Jewish tragedy and from the perspective of exile, dealt poetically with their traumas of the loss of home and belonging, both to a landscape in a topographical and emotional sense and in a time-spatial sense of the word.
