Positioning Gina Kaus
My particular focus on the representation of femininity and female agency sheds light on how the émigrée Kaus, who had been known as an ardent feminist in Europe, successfully managed to subvert ideas of heteronormative gender and power discourses even within the restrictive limits of the Hollywood apparatus. The dissertation further investigates the understudied text form screenplay and the practice of screenwriting. It examines for the first time various unpublished film script versions of the The Wife Takes a Flyer and Three Secrets and thus promotes the film script as a textual form worthy of investigation and integration in both literary and film studies. The script analysis pays atte...

Gina Kaus
Diese sozioliterarische Studie fokussiert Gina Kaus' Positionierungen in der Literatur und ihre Stellung in der literarischen Öffentlichkeit der Zwischenkriegszeit. Analysiert werden das Selbstverständnis, die literarische Laufbahn und die soziale Lebenswelt der Autorin. Kaus war eine angesehene Persönlichkeit der Wiener und Berliner Literaturszene und als Schriftstellerin im Literaturbetrieb erfolgreich etabliert. Als «verbrannte» und «indizierte» Autorin in Ständestaat und Nationalsozialismus wurde sie sukzessive aus der Öffentlichkeit verdrängt. 1938 flüchtete sie in die USA, wo sie bis zu ihrem Tod blieb. Lange Zeit wurde sie von der Forschung vernachlässigt und im Literaturbetrieb als Unterhaltungsschriftstellerin marginalisiert. Diese Arbeit würdigt sie als eine der bedeutendsten deutschsprachigen Autorinnen der Zwischenkriegszeit und soll dazu beitragen, dass Kaus der ihr gebührende Platz in der Literatur- und Kulturgeschichte wieder zukommt.
Becoming Austrians
The collapse of Austria-Hungary in 1918 left all Austrians in a state of political, social, and economic turmoil, but Jews in particular found their lives shaken to the core. Although Jews' former comfort zone suddenly disappeared, the dissolution of the Dual Monarchy also created plenty of room for innovation and change in the realm of culture. Jews eagerly took up the challenge to fill this void, and they became heavily invested in culture as a way to shape their new, but also vexed, self-understandings. By isolating the years between the World Wars and examining formative events in both Vienna and the provinces, Becoming Austrians: Jews and Culture between the World Wars demonstrates that...
