This far-reaching study of women's literature sheds new light onto
the ways we think about memory, modernism, postmodernism, feminism.
In Enacting Past and Present, author Michaela M. Grobbel discusses
novels by Djuna Barnes, Ingeborg Bachmann, and Marguerite Duras.
According to the author, these works show us that fascinating
shifts in "memory texts" have been taking place in the twentieth
century, indicating the need for different approaches to
understanding memory. Through a discussion of Walter Benjamin,
Sigmund Freud, and the work of contemporary scholars in feminism
and cultural studies, Grobbel focuses on these texts as types of
performance that lead to interesting forms of "re-presenting"
memory. These theaters of memory foreground the present but also
critically demonstrate the complex relationship of the present to
the past. Grobbel offers her readers new ways to think about
autobiography, performance, and the process of memory, enriching
currrent scholarship on feminism and literary modernism.
