Thesis (Ph.D.)--Cornell University, 2007.

Many influential accounts of West German cultural history employ a psychoanalytical concept of mourning (successful or failed) to evaluate texts and films since 1945, and mourning has arguably become a defining tool for analysis within German Studies. This emphasis on mourning as a moral standard obscures crucial dimensions of the complex relationship between affect, language, and image in postwar German-language cultural production. My dissertation portrays key functions of cultural affects that are obscured when mourning is reduced to an ideal incarnation of emotive reparation. In the immediate postwar years intellectuals and writers attempted to understand the disastrous impact of the Nazi regime and its afterlife in Germany. My first chapter appraises this process of reflection in the work of T.W. Adomo, specifically the central role that emotion plays in his radio addresses and postwar writings, especially in Negative Dialektik and Minima Moralia. I analyze his participation in public debate and democratic "re-education," both in its pedagogical and affective dimensions, through the popular medium of radio broadcasts. My second chapter assesses the postwar rehabilitation of the institution of literary prize giving, specifically the performative dimension of the figure of the "breath's turn" in Paul Celan's 1960 Buchner-Preis-Rede and that of "breath" in Ingeborg Bachmann's 1964 speech. A third chapter analyzes Anne Duden's short story "Ubergang" (1952) and her combination of Renaissance paintings and text in Das Judasschaf (1985). Duden, a member of the second generation, evinces the symptomatic and violent failure of "Vergangenheitsbewaltigung. " Duden revisits the site of the violently ruptured female body, whose seismographic suffering dislodges the affective encryptment of ambivalent wartime memories. My final chapter returns to the codified and restricted model of mourning which has also dominated scholarly work on postwar German film. I comment on cinematic representations of what is routinely described as the exemplary female figure of intersubjectivity, namely the mother. In doing so, I concentrate on affect, memory, and history in features by women directors of the New German Cinema, most specifically by analyzing the role of melodrama in Helma Sanders-Brahms's semi-(auto)biographical film entitled Deutschland bleiche Mutter (1980).
