This chapter takes Martin Dannecker’s 1985 essay on Hubert Fichte as a starting point to read Fichte’s early St. Pauli-Geschichte and three of his Hamburg novels. Fichte’s language is shown to distinguish itself from the language of taboo as well as from that of liberalization. Instead, this chapter argues drawing on Jean Laplanche’s General Theory of Seduction, it generates new words for the sexual by referring creatively to subcultural jargons, thus replacing the traumatic enigmatic signifiers by lustfully sexualizing ones. From the perspective of this reading, Fichte’s language of desire developed since his earliest writings and flourishing in the 1970s, can be shown to be shaped by structural afterwardsness. |
