Melancholy Journeys in the Films of Ruth Beckermann 1
<span class=“paragraphSection“>This article focuses on melancholy and loss in the works of the Austrian documentary filmmaker Ruth Beckermann. Freud, in his seminal essay ‘Trauer und Melancholie’ (‘Mourning and Melancholia’, 1917), defines melancholy as a coping mechanism of cathecting (investing emotion or feeling in) a lost object’s characteristics in one’s own ego in order to better endure its loss.2<sup>2</sup> In Beckermann’s work, we find many such examples of melancholic cathexis, be they for a person or people, for a particular place, or correspondingly for a particular time. Places become subject to strong levels of psychic investment in Beckermann’s work. In the following discussion, I will demonstrate how melancholy is particularly intertwined with the experience of space and place in Beckermann’s films.</span>
“A Few Human Beings Walking Hand in Hand”: Margarete Susman, Leonhard Ragaz, and the Origins of the Jewish-Christian Dialogue in Zurich
<span class=“paragraphSection“>On New Year’s Eve of 1933 a train carrying a single passenger crossed the border into Switzerland. The passenger was the German-Jewish poet, philosopher, and literary critic Margarete Susman (1872-1966). Reflecting on the reasons for her departure, Susman later recalled: “When I left … my true <span style=“font-style:italic;“>Heimat</span> I did so above all as a German who could not bear this new Germany. The Jewish destiny was not apparent in its entire horror at the time.”1<sup>1</sup> Sixty-one years old at the time of emigration, Susman was granted asylum in Switzerland. Soon, she would find a spiritual home among the religious socialists that had begun coalescing around the figure of the Protestant theologian Leonhard Ragaz (1868-1945) almost three decades earlier.2<sup>2</sup> It is her involvement in this leftist religious movement with its emphasis on dialogue between members of different creeds that constitutes the core of this article.3<sup>3</sup></span>
Christina Mundlos: Mütterterror. Angst, Neid und Aggressionen unter Müttern. Marburg: Tectum Wissenschaftsverlag 2012.
Das gesellschaftliche Mutterbild und die politische Regulierung von Mutterschaft, so die Kernthese von Christina Mundlos, isolieren Mütter voneinander, fördern Konkurrenz unter ihnen und verhindern somit Solidarität und gemeinsame befreiende Aktionen. Das Sachbuch kann als eine Art Ratgeber gelesen werden, der zum Widerstand gegen etablierte Vorstellungen der ‚guten Mutter‘ ermuntert. Dies ist begrüßenswert und überfällig. Mundlos reproduziert jedoch bestimmte Verkürzungen, die in der politischen und medialen Diskussion über Mutterschaft vorgenommen werden, so etwa die fast ausschließliche Fokussierung auf Probleme der Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf. Hier zeigen sich Problemstellungen, die einer feministischen Bearbeitung bedürfen.
