Abstract

Despite initially going somewhat unnoticed, today, the novel Detlevs Imitationen “Grünspan” (1971) by Hubert Fichte is seen as a milestone in the post-war narrative. Its double protagonist (Detlev at the end of the war and the first years of the post-war period, and Jäcki during the late sixties) allows for a reading of the ways in which the persecution of sexual dissidence continued in a time of apparent progress in the gathering of differences. In this sense, I am interested in analyzing, particularly in Detlevs Imitationen “Grünspan”, the permanence of the Nazi past in the post-war period in relation to the repression of homosexuality and to the biopolitical production of the human as what is normal and accepted. To this end, I shall especially take the concept of Pharmacopornographic Regime, coined by Paul B. Preciado to explain the control and the disciplining of bodies and subjectivities from the beginning of the post-war period.
