About the Perpetrator’s Testimony in Marcel Beyer’s Flughunde Uncovering the Linguistic and Discursive Devices

GIMÉNEZ CALPE, A. (2020):  SOBRE EL TESTIMONIO DEL PERPETRADOR EN “FLUGHUNDE” DE MARCEL BEYER. DESENMASCARANDO SUS DISPOSITIVOS LINGÜÍSTICOS Y DISCURSIVOS. REVISTA DE FILOLOGÍA ALEMANA, 28, 91-105.

In the novel Flughunde, published in 1995, Marcel Beyer, a third-generation author born in 1965 and who therefore did not directly experience the Nazi period or the post-war era, articulates a fictional story based on a series of historical facts related to the death of Magda and Joseph Goebbels’children  in  which  notions  on  the  reliability  of  witnesses,  fundamentally  when  these  are  perpetrators,  are addressed. The objective of the article is to analyse how the novel portrays the representation of the  perpetrator,  as  well  as  to  uncover  the  discursive strategies  of  the  text  in  order  to  expose  the  discourse  of  the  perpetrator,  who  attempts  to  hidehis  responsibility  in  the  crimes  committed  during  Nazism.
