The Aesthetic Transformation of History: Stefan Köhler's Novel Deutschlands Rückkehr as an Example for Ucronia

Summary/Abstract: When historical events are re-evaluated from the point of view of the current period, it can make the individual think of different possible causes and consequences. With such an approach, the history is constructed with its alternatives. Thus, the uchronia/alternate history, which is essentially a subgenre of the science fiction in literature, emerges. Ucronia, in the most general sense, suggests a possible history by presenting different perspectives on events that took place in world history. Stefan Köhler's novel Deutschlands Rückkehr, published in 2021, reconstructs the Second World War as Uchronia, drags Adolf Hitler on a different adventure. In this study, first of all, general informations about the uchronia will be given, then Köhler's novel will be examined as an example of this genre. Thus, the traces of the transformed history in the novel will be revealed. It is aimed to contribute to field studies by examining with a text-based method the coming together of fiction and history and the literarization of history.
