dc.description.abstract | The literary works of Ina Seidel, the author of one of the best-selling books in the
history of German literature, the novel Das Wunschkind, are slowly sinking into oblivion.
Called „Ernst Jünger in a skirt”, the writer did not hide her sympathies for the
fascist ideology, which also echoes in her works. Not surprisingly, in previous literary
studies, her writings were perceived, as a rule, through the prism of criticism of ideology
and situated in the context of the literature of the Nazi Germany.
However, the starting point for our dissertation is different. Shifting the research
paradigm, in the theoretical part the author sums up the gender theories existing at
the time of the Weimar Republic, which was also the period when most Ina Seidel’s
texts were written, texts to which the main body of this dissertaion is devoted. These
theories constitute a conceptual foil for the analyses conducted in its further part. The
concepts discussed are founded on the model of differentiality. The author alludes
to the matriarchy theory by the Swiss anthropologist Johann Jakob Bachofen, the notions
of feminity and masculinity by the German sociologist Georg Simmel and views
on a woman’s role in society from leading representatives of a moderate wing of the
feminist movement in Germany – Helena Lange and Gertrude Bäumer.
The analytical part of the dissertation carries an argument focused on the women
characters created by Seidel. They are protagonists of both the foreground and the
background, representing various types of womanhood: mothers, wives, single women,
femme fatales, artists, women professionals and scholars. By way of these, Ina Seidel
explores some of her central topics related to being a woman: maternity, childlessness,
moral mission of a woman and her role in society. The close reading of her novels leads
to the conclusion that the writer applies a specific aesthetic of a „squinting look”. The
German literary critic Sigrid Weigel uses this metaphor in reference to the writings of
women who, accepting the traditional patriarchal models of gender and moving within
the frame of these, simultaneously search for the ways to articulate their own, specifically
feminine experiences. On the one hand, Ina Seidel’s narration follows the conservative
model of thinking about a woman, typical of her times, in which the superior category
is motherhood. On the other hand, however, it indicates that, paradoxically, it is motherhood
that can become a woman’s weapon and a starting point for her emancipation. | pl_PL |
