Die Suche Der Kritik: Uwe Johnson ALS Intellektueller in Den Langen 1960er Jahren

As an author, Uwe Johnson repeatedly expressed negative views on the political commitment of writers. However, a look at his work as an intellectual reveals a different side: the search for new forms of critique and the continuous reflection on his own role in a time of change. His political interventions are subtle, conveyed through literature, and often contrary to prevailing expectations. Philipp Steiner explores the author's search between aesthetics, the literary industry, political discourse, and ideological conflicts.
