This article demonstrates that in some contemporary German‐language novels Polish motifs serve as a foil for the negative projection of cultural self‐images. The image of Poles is stereotypical because it contains a high degree of generalisation and embodies world views – such as nationalism, anti‐Semitism, anti‐Romanyism, fundamentalism – which contradict the ideal self of being tolerant and open‐minded. The fictionalisation of historical and contemporary events in the works examined serves to demonise Poland, which, from the perspective of postcolonial theory, can be read as a mixture of legacy and modified continuation of the German colonial discourse on Poland.

在德国道格拉斯州的波伦·阿尔斯·纳加蒂夫·弗里·塞尔斯滕滕维格

本文证明，在一些当代德语小说中，波兰图案充当了挫败文化自我意象投射的障碍。波兰人的形象是刻板印象的，因为它包含高度概括性，并体现了世界观，例如民族主义，反犹太主义，反浪漫主义，原教旨主义，这与宽容和思想开放的理想自我背道而驰。在所考察的作品中，对历史和当代事件的虚构化有助于妖魔化波兰，从后殖民理论的角度来看，这可以理解为德国殖民主义话语的继承和改良延续。
