Özet
Else Günther ist eine Kinderbuchautorin, die sich nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg schriftstellerisch zu betätigen begann undgegen Ende der siebziger Jahre fast völlig verschwunden ist. In ihren Kinderbüchern von vor-interkultureller Charakteristikversucht sie in Nachkriegs-Deutschland, den deutschen Kindern fremde Kontinente wie Afrika und Asien (die Türkei)einerseits und europäische Länder (wie Schweden) näher zu bringen und dadurch meines Erachtens die interkulturelle Kompetenz der Nachkriegskinder zu fördern. Ausgehend von dem Inhalt ihres Kinderromans Sonjas lustige Türkenreisekann man sehen, dass die Autorin, obwohl sie Anfang der 50er Jahre schreibt, nicht von den Verwüstungen oder Folgendes vorangehenden Nationalsozialismus redet, sondern ein musterhaftes Familienleben in einer Wohlstandsgesellschaftin den Vordergrund rückt. Else Günthers Mädchenroman Sonjas lustige Türkenreise finde ich schon mit dem Titel auffällig;es heißt nicht Türkei-, sondern Türkenreise. Hiermit scheint wahrscheinlich eine mentale Reise in die Welt der Türken (alsein asiatisches Volk) gemeint zu sein. Der Roman handelt von “mittleren Helden” aus einem gut bürgerlichen Milieu, wowir ebenfalls beobachten, dass “Fantasie und Psychologie, die den Kinderfiguren aus der Verpflichtung aufWohlanständigkeit und strikte Anpassung an die von Erwachsenen gesetzten Verhaltensnormen heraushelfen, (…) zuwichtigen Elementen [werden]” (Steinlein, 2008, S. 327), was uns meines Erachtens ermöglicht, Else GünthersMädchenroman mit seiner freimütigen und z.T. rebellischen Protagonistin zu dem Bereich der ‚Schwellentexte, d.h.Vorläufertexte‘ einer “Literatur der Kindheitsautonomie” (Ewers) zugehörig zu betrachten. Nicht nur der Umgang derEltern mit den Kindern, sondern auch die Art und Weise der literarischen Darstellung fremder Welten der Autorin ElseGünther erscheint uns aus pädagogischer Perspektive von grosser Bedeutung, besonders im Hinblick auf interkulturelleErziehung der Nachwuchsgenerationen.
Else Günther is a children’s author who began writing after the World War II, but was almost completely forgotten by theend of the 1970s. In her books, which contain pre-intercultural characteristics, she made efforts to introduce some foreigncontinents, such as Africa and Asia (Turkey) as well as Scandinavian countries like Sweden, Norway, and Finland to thechildren of post-war Germany. Through such a familiarization, in my opinion, she aims to develop the intercultural skills inchildren of post-war children Germany. In Sonjas lustige Türkenreise, it appears that the author does not imply thedestruction and consequences of the Nazi regime, even though she wrote in the beginning of the 1950s. On the contrary,she seems to bring an exemplary family life at the forefront of the new welfare society. Even the title Sonjas lustigeTürkenreise is striking, for it includes the words “Turkish Trip” instead of “Turkey Trip.” Therefore, it can probably beinterpreted as a mental trip into the culture of the Turks, i.e., Asians. The novel is about “middle-class heroes” comingfrom good family backgrounds. In the novel, imagination and psychology become important elements for children to getaway with the obligations of honesty (as a duty) and strict adherence to norms set by adults (see Steinlein, 2008, p. 327).In my opinion, this requires the involvement of Günther’s young girl novel into the texts of “child autonomy literature”(Ewers, 1995), i.e., into the field of the pacemaker texts, as the novel includes a free-spirited and rebellious protagonist.Not only is the relationship between parents and children important but also the way in which Günther reflects foreignworlds, in terms of pedagogy, is interesting, especially regarding the intercultural education of children of the newgeneration.
