Revolting Families places the literary depiction of familial and
intimate relations in 1960s West Germany against the backdrop of
public discourse on the political significance of the private
sphere. Carrie Smith-Prei focuses on debut works by German authors
considered to be part of the "new" and "black" realism movements:
Dieter Wellershoff, Rolf Dieter Brinkmann, Gisela Elsner, and
Renate Rasp. Each of the works by these authors uses depictions of
neurosis, disgust, vertigo, or violence to elicit a reaction in
readers that calls them to political, social, or ethical action.
Revolting Families thus extends the concept of negativity, which
has long been part of post-war German philosophical and aesthetic
theory, to the body in German literature and culture. Through an
analysis of these texts and of contextual discourse, Smith-Prei
develops a theoretical concept of corporeal negativity that works
to provoke socio-political engagement with the private sphere.
