In the dialogue cycle Flüchtlingsgespräche the fictive dialogue partners become authors in more than one way: Aside from creating contributions to their highly artistic conversation Kalle and Ziffel develop several signs of a new pictographic writing system and moreover Ziffel makes an attempt to write his memoirs. All these forms of authorship result from the dialogue between the refugees and in all cases the authors alternate between respect and low regard for their own products. Hints at Brecht’s attitude towards his own authorship may be gained by the analysis of some of his anonymous self-quotations in the dialogue cycle: It seems that he focuses on the practical use, not on the intrinsic value of his works, and wants his readers to do the same. In another reading Kalle’s and Ziffel’s ambivalent attitude towards authorship can be interpreted as an extreme type of (dialogical) unreliability. The shifting evaluation of creative acts refers to an ideological instability or incoherence of Kalle’s and Ziffel’s world–the fictive counterpart of Brecht’s own reality: In a world, whose political and military constellations are intricate and can change within hours, the value of creative production cannot be determined in a reliable, permanent way.
