Unlike most of what appeared in the wake of Wolf’s death, however, the contributions to this international volume seek neither to monumentalize her nor to dismantle her stature, but to employ a range of methodologies—comparative, intertextual, psychoanalytic, historical, transcultural—to offer sensitive assessments of Wolf’s major literary texts, as well as of her lesser known work in genres such as film and essay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of Illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eGerald Fetz and Patricia Herminghouse\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePart I: Patterns of Memory: The Trauma of the Forgotten\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/strong\u003e “Far Away So Close”: Transcultural Memory as Christa Wolf’s “Last Word”\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eSilke von der Emde\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/strong\u003e Who’s Afraid of Christa Wolf or, \u003cem\u003eThe Overcoat of Dr. Freud\u003c\/em\u003e: Memory and Its Discontents\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eMartina Kolb\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/strong\u003e Fetishism or Working Through?
