Podcast appearances and mentions of Jenny Erpenbeck

Hvordan påvirker store historiske og politiske omvæltninger os som mennesker? Hvad sker der, når et samfund – og et individ – mister fodfæstet? Kan de magtmekanismer, vi ser i et politisk system, afspejle sig i et destruktivt kærlighedsforhold? Det undersøger en af Tysklands største forfattere, Jenny Erpenbeck, i Kairos. Romanen er en rystende fortælling om kærlighed, magt og afhængighed – og viser os, hvordan et samfunds totale sammenbrud kan spejles i en erotisk relation. I denne podcast taler Erpenbeck med ph.d. Anna Sandberg om hukommelse, magt og forandring med afsæt i Kairos. Podcasten er optaget til arrangementet "International Forfatterscene: Jenny Erpenbeck (DE) i samtale med Anna Sandberg", som foregik på Det Kongelige Bibliotek i Den Sorte Diamant 31. marts 2025. Det kan du læse mere om her. Forfatter: Jenny Erpenbeck Samtalepartner: Anna Sandberg Speak: Lise Bach Hansen Podcasten er produceret i samarbejde med GoLittle Creative.

Jenny Erpenbeck er unik i sine kunnskapsrike, dyptloddende og fryktløse skildringer av tysk og europeisk historie. Forfatterskapet hennes omtales som et av vår tids viktigste, og kritikerne snakker ofte om når, og ikke hvis Erpenbeck får Nobelprisen i litteratur. I år ble også hennes siste roman Kairos belønnet med den internasjonale Bookerprisen. Her følger vi et stadig mer dysfunksjonelt kjærlighetsforhold, som speiler den autoritære og langsomt døende DDR-staten der romanen foregår. Det handler om kjærlighet og lidenskap, men minst like mye om makt, kunst og kultur.I forfatterskapet kombinerer Erpenbeck sterk historisk bevissthet med et formsikkert og fintfølende språk, og skriver frem Europas nære historie med skarp og særegen stemme. Bøkene hennes undersøker temaer som identitet og hukommelse, og viser oss de menneskelige omkostningene i de totalitære regimenes tid i Europa. Hvordan fortsetter fortiden å forme nåtiden og fremtiden?Forfatterskapet til Erpenbeck inkluderer noveller, essays, skuespill og en rekke kritikerroste romaner, og fire av dem er hittil utgitt på norsk i Ute Neumanns oversettelse: Gå, gikk, har gått, Alle dagers ende, Hjemsøkelse og Kairos.Når Erpenbeck gjestet Litteraturhuset 5. november 2024, møtte hun forfatter og forlegger Mattis Øybø til en samtale om mørk og brennhet europeisk historie.Arrangementet er på engelsk. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

With her deep and fearless portrayals of German and European history, Jenny Erpenbeck is a unique voice in world literature. Her authorship is widely considered to be among the most important of our time, leaving critics to discuss when, and not if she receives the Nobel prize for literature. This year, her latest novel Kairos was awarded the International Booker prize. In Kairos, we follow an increasingly dysfunctional couple, mirroring the dying nation state of the DDR, where the novel is set. It is a novel about love and passion, but equally about the relationship between power and the arts.In her writing, Erpenbeck combines an acute awareness of history with succinct prose and a daring sense of form and composition. Through short stories, essays, plays and a host of critically acclaimed novels, she explores themes such as identity and memory and shows us the human costs of totalitarian regimes. How does the past continue to shape our present and future?Now, Erpenbeck is joined by author and editor Mattis Øybø at the House of Literature for a conversation on a dark and burning European history.

Das Buch handelt von einer ungewöhnlichen Freundschaft zwischen zwei alten Männern, von der vermeintlichen Idylle des Landlebens und von einem großen gesellschaftlichen Konflikt unserer Zeit: der unwiederbringlichen Zersetzung bäuerlicher Strukturen, Kultur und Lebensweisen.

Zapraszam do wysłuchania audycji o głośnej w Niemczech książce Jenny Erpenbeck "Iść, szedł, poszedł". Książka momentami bardz poruszająca, chociaż czasami może za bardzo? O książce rozmawialiśmy w czasie ostatniej edycji (2024) klubu czytelniczego Buch, czyli książka. przekład

Den Bookerprisvindende tyske bestsellerforfatter Jenny Erpenbeck har vakt politisk og litterær opstandelse med sin seneste roman, Kairos.  Romanen, der udkom på dansk tidligere i år, handler om to mennesker fra hver sin generation, der mødes i 1986 ved Alexanderplatz i Berlin i det kommunistiske Østtysklands sidste år. Hun er 19, han er 53 – og gift. Begge er de optaget af politiske og kunstneriske anliggender, og de udvikler et stærkt passioneret og ulige forhold, der udvikler sig lige så brutalt og voldeligt, som kommunismen i det gamle Østtyskland. Deres kærlighedsrelation bliver den prisme, romanen ser hele DDR's kollaps igennem.  Jenny Erpenbecks roman er udgangspunktet for denne uges udgave af Langsomme Samtaler.   Jenny Erpenbeck (f. 1967) er selv født og opvokset i det daværende Østberlin og har i sine bøger ofte beskæftiget sig med sammenbruddet af den kommunistiske stats værdisystem og de store omvæltninger i den efterfølgende genforeningsperiode. En genforening, hun – i Kairos såvel som i hendes øvrige forfatterskab – beskriver som både en befrielse og et tab.  Langsomme Samtaler går herefter på juleferie, men er tilbage igen med en hel ny sæson fra anden uge af januar. Glædelig jul og godt nytår!

Da Margaret Atwood begynte på mesterverket The Handmaid's Tale (Tjenerinnens beretning) i 1984, var hun på et skriveopphold i Vest-Tyskland, bare et steinkast fra muren mot Øst-Berlin, med sitt allestedsnærværende hemmelige politi. Verdenen på den andre siden av jernteppet var en klar inspirasjon for den verdenskjente framtidsdystopien hennes, der hun lagde seg en regel om å ikke legge til noe i Gileads univers som ikke allerede har skjedd på et tidspunkt i vår historie.På den andre siden av muren, i DDR, vokste Jenny Erpenbeck opp, og var vitne til både republikkens storhetstid og dens fall og det kapitalistiske Vestens seier bare få år senere. I sitt prisvinnende forfatterskap har Erpenbeck utforsket Tysklands og det øvrige Europas komplekse historie, der vanlige mennesker blir fanget av sin tids grandiose ideer og omveltninger.Både Atwood og Erpenbeck har befattet seg litterært med totalitarisme, med historien og hvordan den former nåtiden og framtiden, med den skjøre virkeligheten vi lever i, og hvor lett den kan vippe over i brutalitet. De skriver begge lyrisk og nyskapende skjønnlitteratur, og tar i bruk mytologi, annen litteratur og filosofi, men forbindelsene til verden rundt oss - enten det er fortiden, nåtiden eller mulige framtider vi er på vei mot - er aldri langt unna.Margaret Atwood står bak mer enn 70 utgivelser av romaner, poesi, noveller, barnebøker og essaysamlinger. Fortellinger som The Handmaid's Tale og MaddAddam-trilogien har gjort henne kjent verden over, og en rekke av bøkene hennes har blitt adaptert til film, TV, opera og ballett. I likhet med Erpenbeck trekkes hun ofte fram som en av de store favorittene til å vinne Nobelprisen i litteratur.Jenny Erpenbeck er forfatter av en lang rekke kritikerroste og prisbelønte romaner, novellesamlinger, skuespill og essays. Hennes seneste roman, Kairos, vant tidligere i år den gjeve internasjonale Booker-prisen.Denne podkasten er fra da disse to fabelaktige forfatterne møttes på en scene for første gang, til en samtale om historie og samfunn, erindring og framtidshåp. Samtalen ble ledet av Helge Jordheim, professor i kulturhistorie ved Universitetet i Oslo.Arrangementet foregikk i Universitetets Aula 2. November 2024. Hosted on Acast.

When she began her masterpiece The Handmaid's Tale in 1984, Margaret Atwood was living in West Berlin, just a stone's throw away from the Wall to East Berlin, with its omnipresent secret police. The world behind the Iron Curtain clearly influenced her famous future dystopia, in which she set as a rule that she would not include any horrors that humans had not already done in some other place or time in history.On the other side of the Wall, author Jenny Erpenbeck grew up in the east, the German Democratic Republic (DDR), experiencing the country's zenith as well as its disintegration and the victorious capitalist West just a few years later. In her award winning body of work, Erpenbeck has gone on to explore the complex history of Germany and greater Europe, where ordinary citizens become hostages to the grand ideas and ruptures of the times.Both Atwood and Erpenbeck are concerned with totalitarianism, with history and how it informs the present and the future, with our fragile normality, and how quickly it can turn into brutality. While they write lyrical and innovative fiction - incorporating mythology, literature and philosophy - the links to the world around us, either past, present or futures we are headed towards, are always there.Margaret Atwood has published more than 70 books of poetry, short story collections, novels, children's books,and essay collections. Stories like The Handmaid's Tale and the MaddAddam trilogy have made her a name across the world, and a number of her books have been adapted to film, TV, opera and ballet, and, like Erpenbeck, she is regularly mentioned as a favorite for the Nobel prize in literature.Jenny Erpenbeck is the author of a number of critically acclaimed and award winning novels, short story collections, plays and essays. Her latest novel, Kairos, won the 2024 International Booker Prize.In this event, these two exceptional authors met for the first time on stage, for a conversation about history and society, memory and hope for the future. The conversation was moderated by Helge Jordheim, professor of cultural history at the University of Oslo.The conversation took place on November 2st, 2024 in The University of Oslo's Ceremonial Hall. LitHouse is a podcast from the House of Literature in Oslo, presenting adapted versions of lectures and conversations featuring international writers and thinkers. Hosted on Acast.

Erinnern Sie bitte mal kurz an Ihre Schulzeit, auch wenn diese schon etwas zurückliegt. Denken Sie an den Deutschunterricht. Goethes Werther, Max Frisch und Homo Faber, Hermann Hesses "Narziß und Goldmund". Große Literatur, bestimmt, aber naja: Männer, die über Männer schrieben. Da half es sehr, wenn man die Freude am Lesen schon vorher für sich entdeckt hatte, denn diese kleinen, eng bedruckten Reclam-Hefte machten nicht unbedingt Lust auf mehr, um es mal so zu formulieren. Wie mag es sich wohl für eine zeitgenössische Autorin anfühlen, wenn ein eigenes Buch plötzlich zur Pflichtlektüre für’s Abitur wird! "Heimsuchung" ist so ein Werk, geschrieben von Jenny Erpenbeck, die weltweit als Deutschlands erfolgreichste Schriftstellerin gilt. Zur Welt kam sie 1967 in Ost-Berlin als Spross einer Familie, die zur geistigen Elite der DDR gezählt wurde und wird. Jenny Erpenbeck machte eine Lehre als Buchbinderin und studierte anschließend Theaterwissenschaft und Musiktheaterregie. Seit sie Bücher schreibt, finden diese regelmäßig Beachtung und: werden mit den wichtigsten nationalen und internationalen Literaturpreisen ausgezeichnet, zuletzt das Buch "Kairos", für das sie 2024 als erste Deutsche den International Booker Prize erhielt.

Nadolni, Florentine www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Fazit

Susan Bernofsky is an American translator of German-language literature and author. She is best known for bringing the Swiss writer Robert Walser to the attention of the English-speaking world translating many of his books and writing his biography. She has also translated several books by Jenny Erpenbeck and Yoko Tawada. Her prizes for translation include the Helen and Kurt Wolff Translation Prize, Oxford-Weidenfeld Translation Prize. In 2017 she won the Warwick Prize for Women in Translation for her translation of Memoirs of a Polar Bear by Yoko Tawada.In this episode, she spoke about her views on translations, the author Yoko Tawada and her translation of Tawada's novel 'Spontaneous Acts' released in July 2024. 'Spontaneous Acts' written by Tawada in Berlin during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, pays homage to Paul Celan, a longstanding influence on her work. Arguably the most important German-language poet of the post-World War II era, Celan is known for the diamond-hard density of his lyrical lines, estranging words from their inherited meanings, and thereby opening up new avenues of association and interpretation. You can read Yoko Tawada's article on Paul Celan's Poems written in 2013, via the link in the show notes. https://www.thewhitereview.org/feature/celan-reads-japanese/To buy the book 'Spontaneous Acts' - a link is provided in the show notes. https://tinyurl.com/susanyokoPlease follow and review the Harshaneeyam Podcast on Spotify and Apple apps.* For your Valuable feedback on this Episode - Please click the link below.https://tinyurl.com/4zbdhrwrHarshaneeyam on Spotify App –https://harshaneeyam.captivate.fm/onspotHarshaneeyam on Apple App – https://harshaneeyam.captivate.fm/onapple*Contact us - harshaneeyam@gmail.com ***Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed by Interviewees in interviews conducted by Harshaneeyam Podcast are those of the Interviewees and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of Harshaneeyam Podcast.

An diesem Wochenende wird der legendäre Ingeborg-Bachmann-Preis in Klagenfurt verliehen. Seit Tagen streitet die Jury vor Publikum und Fernsehkameras über literarische Texte vor den Augen der Schriftstellerinnen und Schriftstellern. In dieser Folge von Was liest du gerade? sprechen Iris Radisch und Adam Soboczynski daher über ein neues Buch aus dem Nachlass von Ingeborg Bachmann mit dem Namen Senza Casa. Von der österreichischen Schriftstellerin (1926–1973), zu deren Ehren der Preis in ihrer Geburtsstadt verliehen wird, können im Juli bislang unbekannte autobiografische Skizzen und Notizen aus Neapel, Ischia und Klagenfurt entdeckt werden. Wir erfahren von einer unerfüllten Liebe, vom Leid des Schreibens – aber immer ist sie voller Lebenshunger, der ansteckend ist. Jenny Erpenbeck wurde vor Kurzem mit ihrem Roman Kairos den International Booker Prize verliehen. Wir sprechen über dieses große Werk, das uns in die letzten Jahre der DDR entführt: Es spielt im weinseligen und amourösen Intellektuellenmilieu Ost-Berlins. Wie wird in diesem Roman der Westen gesehen? Wie die Stasi? Und warum ist die Liebesgeschichte der jungen Protagonistin zu einem alten Schriftstellerfreund so böse, toxisch und sadistisch? Im Roman von Jenny Erpenbeck taucht auch der Schriftsteller Heiner Müller auf. Unser Klassiker ist diesmal eine Erzählung von Müller aus dem Jahr 1956: Das Eiserne Kreuz. Der "Erste Satz" kommt diesmal aus dem ungewöhnlichen und lustigen Krimi Die Frau mit den vier Armen von Jakob Nolte. Sie erreichen das Team von Was liest du gerade? unter: buecher@zeit.de.

Germany's Jenny Erpenbeck is the winner of the International Booker Prize 2024 for her novel Kairos, translated by Michael Hofmann. She spoke with Eleanor Wachtel, who chaired the International Booker Prize jury, in 2015 about The End of Days, an imaginative story that spans the 20th century through the eyes of a character who lives multiple versions of her life. Erpenbeck also reflects on her own childhood, growing up in a literary family in East Berlin before the fall of the Wall, and the ways in which history, politics and her experience with personal and national transformations have inspired her work.

De Duitse (Oost-Berlijnse) Jenny Erpenbeck won dit jaar samen met vertaler Michael Hofman de International Booker Prize voor haar boek Kairos.. De Nederlandse editie is vertaald door Elly Schippers. Kairos. speelt zich grotendeels af in Oost-Berlijn, waar in 1986 de jonge studente Katharina en 34 jaar oudere, getrouwde schrijver en radiomaker Hans elkaar toevallig ontmoeten in de bus. Ze voelen zich direct tot elkaar aangetrokken. Er ontstaat een allesverzengende liefde, die echter verre van gelijkwaardig is. Dit alles tegen de achtergrond van een ingrijpende maatschappelijke en politieke omwenteling.Charlotte, Ellen, Joost en Marja kijken naar hoe Erpenbeck de personages aan de geschiedenis verbindt. Hoe is dit boek opgepakt buiten Duitsland?

Boris Pistorius besuchte in dieser Woche die deutsche Bundeswehr-Brigade im Baltikum. Karina Mößbauer hat den Bundesverteidigungsminister begleitet und schildert im Gespräch mit Jörg Thadeusz ihre Eindrücke von der Reise, bei der deutsche Verteidigungsbereitschaft und europäische Wehrhaftigkeit demonstriert wurden. Ein ganz anderer Kurs als der, den Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz derzeit verfolgt, indem er als Friedenskanzler Wahlkampf macht. Quo vadis SPD? Unser “Thema der Woche”. Außerdem: Zuerst distanzierte sich die französische rechtsnationalistische Partei Rassemblement National unter Marine Le Pen von der AfD, nachdem deren Spitzenkandidat für die Europawahl, Maximilian Krah, Verbrechen der SS relativiert hatte. Nun wurden gar sämtliche AfD-Abgeordnete im Europaparlament ausgeschlossen - von der europäischen Rechtsaußen-Fraktion Identität und Demokratie. Zerlegt sich die AfD nun selbst? 75 Jahre Grundgesetz - am 23. Mai 1949 wurde die Grundlage unseres freiheitlichen Rechtsstaates verabschiedet. Grund zu feiern - und einen Mann zu befragen, der zwölf Jahre lang Richter des Bundesverfassungsgerichts war und nun Direktor und Professor des Instituts für Öffentliches Recht in Bonn ist: Professor Udo Di Fabio im Interview der Woche mit Jörg Thadeusz.“Zwischenrufer” Hans-Ulrich Jörges, ehemaliger Chefredakteur des Stern, blickt auf einen “Elefanten im Raum” - Donald Trump - und erklärt, warum sich Europa für dessen Wiederwahl wappnen sollte.Im kürzesten Interview der Berliner Republik spricht Felix Heck, Politik-Redakteur beim Focus über die Palästina-Proteste an deutschen Hochschulen und darüber, warum er dringend Jenny Erpenbeck lesen will.
