Tebbutt, Susan: Gudrun Pausewang in context

Socially critical 'Jugendliteratur', Gudrun Pausewang and the search for Utopia. The historical development of German socially critical 'Jugendliteratur' is outlined, in order to put the work of Pausewang into context. A review of her life and the reception of her literary work precede the analysis of her work against its social, political and literary background. The theme of utopia and the relationship between language and ideology form the framework for the evaluation of Pausewang's work, focussing on two main thematic areas, firstly Latin America, poverty and 'Alterität', secondly war, peace and the environment. A correlation is evident between the use of dystopian images, as in Die Wolke, and the degree to which narrative techniques can be seen as interrogative. 282 Seiten, broschiert (Europäische Hochschulschriften.
