The Ambiguity of Parrhesia - The shape of Partisanship in contemporary German Literature

My attempt will analyze constellations and figurations of an alternative truth in novels of Kurt Drawert, Ingo Schulze and Lutz Seiler that have been published quite recently. The hypothesis is that the authors try tp show in their novels, how right wing intellectualism imitates the need and meaningfulness and legitimacy of truth telling. Referring to Foucault's theory of Parrhesia some figurations of a fake partisanship are discussed and related to contemporary political movements foremost in Germany, such as "PEgIdA" and "Querdenker". The talk will end with considerations about the reception and effects intended by the authors. Do they see themselves or literature in general in a function of a corrigendum towards society?
