Entgöttertes Leid : zur Lyrik Rose Ausländers unter Berücksichtigung der Poetologien von Theodor W. Adorno Peter Szondi und Jacques Derrida This study proposes new readings of the works of Rose Ausländer designed to achieve a finer appreciation of the nature both of her poetry and of the matters addressed in it. Her verses are subjected to a process of refraction by reading them against the background of the linguistic artistic and ontological philosophies of Theodor W. Adorno (and Jean François Lyotard) Peter Szondi and Jacques Derrida all of which took on sharper contours in the confrontation with Paul Celan.
