Topologische Interferenz zwischen jüdischer Trauerliturgie und persönlicher Gedächtnislyrik bei Paul Celan Erläutert am Gedicht Zu zweien
Topological Interference Between Jewish Funeral Liturgy and Personal Memorial Poetry in Celan’s Work. Exemplified by the Poem Zu zweien

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, exploring Paul Celan’s poem Zu zweien, we are looking for answers to the following questions: 1. In what ways are the memory images of the home celabration of the Jewish liturgy experienced in childhood interwoven with the lyrical speech acts of the collective remembrance and commemoration of the Shoah victims (the occasions contributing to get over the traumata)? 2. How does the merger of these mental images and speech acts become the basis of a newer sort of literary tropology that substitutes the Jewish mourning liturgy paralysed by the Shoah experience?
