Utopia gone wrong: identity and history intersect in Jenny Erpenbeck’s haunting new novel

Retrieved on: 
Monday, October 2, 2023

It is about chance encounters and finding one’s place in a world on the cusp of disintegration.

Key Points: 
  • It is about chance encounters and finding one’s place in a world on the cusp of disintegration.
  • Review: Kairos – Jenny Erpenbeck, translated by Michael Hofmann (Granta) Its title is one of two ancient Greek words for time.
  • Where chronos refers to linear time, kairos refers to the most propitious time for an action or argument.
  • Erpenbeck’s novel starts with its protagonist Katharina going through two boxes of papers that belonged to Hans, her former lover.
  • He feels nostalgic for his childhood – a childhood marked by his ignorance of history.

The burden of the past

    • It is clear that the previous inhabitants of their house had to leave rather quickly.
    • Six-year-old Hans doesn’t realise they have been given the house of a Jewish family, but the reader cannot help but make this assumption.
    • This is part of the purity and innocence he finds so desirable in her, physically and emotionally.
    • It aptly summarises the paradoxical relationship of partitioned and reunified Germany with its Nazi past, which is both distant and omnipresent, almost tangible but not quite.
    • After Katharina interns at a theatre in Frankfurt, Hans becomes convinced she has had an affair with a colleague named Vadim.

The mirror

    • This is emphasised in the novel through the idea of reflection and the recurring image of the mirror.
    • When Katharina visits her family in Cologne, West Germany, she has the following thought:
      Each time Katharina is in the bathroom, she walks up to the mirror in the door, and each time she thinks, it’s not Hans’s mirror.
    • Each time Katharina is in the bathroom, she walks up to the mirror in the door, and each time she thinks, it’s not Hans’s mirror.
    • Her almost final sentence is: “If only I’d known then that I was your mirror image.” As Hans’s mirror image, Katharina sees herself on some level as a collaborator and potentially a traitor for adapting her East German identity after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Fintech Founder Bridges Gender Gap in STEM Through Mentor, Student Programs

Wednesday, September 20, 2023

TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- According to Axios, less than 10% of all fintech companies worldwide are founded or co-founded by women.1 As a female business owner in the fintech sector, Monica Eaton, founder and CEO of Chargebacks911, has seen this gender disparity firsthand, largely attributing it to a lack of senior-level female mentors available to foster the next generation of women in tech. This problem exists in many STEM-related fields. In 2023, women comprise only 24% of the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) workforce in the United States.2 To help break this stigma, Eaton is lending her platform and voice to create growth opportunities for women of all ages to break down these barriers through her LIFT and Paid for Grades programs.

Key Points: 
  • As a pioneer and industry leader in the fintech space, Monica Eaton, founder and CEO of Chargebacks911, has been a relentless advocate for bridging the gender divide within STEM.
  • LIFT provides mentorship, guidance, and networking opportunities to women, empowering them to break through pre-conceived barriers and thrive in a traditionally male-dominated field.
  • Mentors were rewarded $400 each, and schools earned $100 per student for programs and supplies.
  • By investing in the education, mentorship, and empowerment of youth and women, we are building a more inclusive and innovative future for fintech.
