Alexa Hennig von Lange’s novels deal with the performences of adolescent socialisation and individualisation processes. A point of view of a female protagonist and first-person narrator focuses on the relationship within a family home and is a basis of reflection and self-perception. For that reason, the purpose of the analysis is to examine how the formerly established principles, beliefs and habits influence the structure of feelings and emotions of the main character. Hence, the question arises whether this parental context of socialisation and adolescent individualisation includes conflicting categories of experience and development.
Around the turn of the millennium, one could witness rapid changes in lifestyles and ways of life. The ‘old’, traditional role assignments have lost their meaning as a valid value system. From the gender point of view, there arises a question whether the postmodern diversity of choices offers women greater opportunities and gains, or whether it leads to disorientation and loss. This issue is examined by investigating texts by two contemporary German women writers, Alexa Hennig von Lange and Silke Scheuermann, who place their protagonists in the cultural context of postmodernism.
