The formation of the German short story (Kurzgeschichte') was influenced by the English-American 'short story', but the originality of it was dictated by the events of World War 2. Short stories are one of the newest genres in the German literature: both the content and format are innovative and corresponding to a particular situation. Two basic genre criteria exist within the theory of a short story: quantity (a small volume of text which is determined by the number of characters) and the expression of the content conciseness (quality criteria), which is referable to the German short story. As an inimitable genre, only characteristic of the German history and culture, short story reached its development peak in the early post-war literature. Thereof, a kind of hybrid-text within the German cultural space can be discussed, when analysing and investigating the genre specifics of this literary format. The goal of the present research article is to characterize the theoretical aspects of the German short story ('Kurzgeschichte') as a hybrid-text of the German literature, and to actualize its phenomenon, as the genre development was affected by the politically-cultural, historical and socio-economic situation in Germany. In the analysis of the short story and its sketch-kind of juxtaposition with other short text forms of epic, an oppositional time relation is marked - a moment and an eternity. The core of the short story is modelled by the personal experience of writers within the war scene context, the Intention - to reject the nationally-socialistic pseudo-realism and to reflect personal experiences. In the forefront a question regarding the meaning of a real contemporary life episode is raised, as the problem situations of short stories are being solved in a spacetime, which is both concrete and general at the same time. Contemporary, real and, at specific moments, crucial problems are actualized, as they affect the life of a simple, or, in other words, small human, and these problems are caused by political and general tension. Early short stories of the post-war literature are phenomenal testimonies, that hold a sharply critical reflection and evaluation of the past, instead of just statistical history facts. Therefore, these texts are a unique material for the historical discovery, and this material captures the reassessment of values, profound philosophy, the human's existential ground in the spacetime - all of that is included in the instantaneous fixation of events, but is topical in an uncertain distance of spacetime - a borderless time and space. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: Latvian refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2017 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
