Space of remembrance and (anti-)homeland conception in Jaroslav Rudiš novel Winterbergs letzte Reise
Abstract
Jaroslav Rudiš's internationally acclaimed novel Winterberg's Last Journey serves as the basis for the considerations. The work is about a train journey of an almost 100-year-old protagonist named Winterberg (born in Reichenberg/Sudetenland, today Liberec/CZ) from Berlin to Sarajevo with the Czech male nurse Kraus, who specializes in (life) farewells and palliative care for old people. He accompanied Winterberg on his last journey. Based on a kind of competition for the countries between the two men, a potential backward future of the KuK monarchy and the former communistic CSSR, the article tries to point out the reciprocity of "Heimat" and the being of “foreigner, stranger, other", and to shift emphasis on the relationship between what is one's own and what is foreign.
