Literature and Politics in Postwar France and Germany: The Controversy over a Letter from Paul Celan to Ernst Jünger2019 •
This paper examines a heated controversy concerning the relationship between Paul Celan and Ernst Jünger that broke out in 2005, in the prestigious literary supplement of Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, The controversy was sparked by discovery of an apparently admiring letter that Celan wrote Jünger as a young man, soon after his arrival from Vienna as a refugee and Holocaust survivor. In examining the question of whether we should take the letter at face value, I explore the ties and tensions between Celan's literary ethos and that of Jünger, moving towards a close look at the particular nature of what I see as Celan's decisionistic poetics: a poetics mediated by and conveying radical trauma. I argue that it is impossible to understand Celan's relationship with Jünger without considering Celan's complex and ambivalent relationship with Martin Heidegger – as well as Heidegger's reception in the literary world of early postwar France. Finally, I place the controversy itself in the framework of political-ideological developments in early 2000s Germany.
