The nature of the East German state remains a matter of cultural as well as political debate. This volume of new research focuses on competing memories of the GDR and the ways they have evolved in the mass media, literature, and film since 1989-90. Taking as its point of departure the impact of iconic visual images of the fall of the Wall on our understanding of the historical GDR, the volume first considers the decade of cultural conflict that followed unification and then the emergence of a more complex and diverse "textual memory" of the GDR since the Berlin Republic was established in 1999. It highlights competing generational perspectives on the GDR era and the unexpected "afterlife" of the GDR in recent publications. The volume as a whole shows the vitality of eastern German culture two decades after the demise of the GDR and the centrality of these memory debates to the success of Germany's unification process."--Provided by publisher. 500 "This volume has developed out of an interdisciplinary conference held at the University of Bath in September 2009 ... entitled Remembering the GDR and Germany's Unification Process"--Text. 504 Includes bibliographical references and index. 533 Electronic reproduction. |bNew York |nAvailable via World Wide Web. 588 0 Print version record. 648 7 1900-2099 |2fast 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 650 0 Collective memory |zGermany. 650 0 Popular culture |zGermany. 650 0 German prose literature |y20th century |xHistory and criticism. 650 0 German prose literature |y21st century |xHistory and criticism. 650 0 Literature and history |zGermany |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Literature and history |zGermany |xHistory |y21st century. 651 0 Germany (East) |xIn popular culture. 651 0 Germany (East) |xIn literature. 651 0 Germany (East) |xIn motion pictures. 651 0 Germany |xIn literature. 700 1 Rechtien, Renate. 700 1 Tate, Dennis. 711 2 Remembering the GDR and Germany's Unification Process |d(2009 : |cUniversity of Bath) 776 08 |iPrint version: |tTwenty years on. |dRochester, N.Y. : Camden House, 2011 |z9781571135032 |w(DLC) 2011022485 830 0 Studies in German literature, linguistics, and culture 910 JSTOR DDA 956 40 |uhttps://www.jstor.org/stable/10.7722/j.ctt1x72d3 980 7072988
