Abstract Details

2008, MA, University of Cincinnati, Arts and Sciences : Germanic Languages and Literature.
This thesis offers an analysis of Karen Duve's Regenroman (1999), Dies ist kein Liebeslied (2002), Taxi (2008) and the short story collection Keine Ahnung (1999) in regard to their positions toward feminism and postfeminism. It argues that Karen Duve as a feminist follows a postfeminist agenda in her work, which employs contradictions, sexual prejudices and violence in order to add to the (post)feminist discourse. The text analysis is structured around the works' common themes, focusing on the female protagonists' physicality, family relationships, sexuality, and professional lives. Because of exaggerated and ironic representations of the women and men in Duve's works the reader is caught between recognition and parody of his/her behavior. At the same time, Duve composes an up-to-date, positive feminism for women even though, or perhaps because, she works with psychologically fragile female protagonists.
