| Zusammenfassung: | This study reverses the question implicit in title of Christa Wolf's now-canonical 1990 novella Was bleibt (What remains), looking instead at what was lost during the process of German reunification. It argues that, in their work during and after the Wende, most literary authors from both East and West Germany responded ambivalently to the reunification. Many felt, on the one hand, a keen sense of loss as the GDR dissolved and an expanded Federal Republic summarily absorbed former Eastern Germany. They mourned the ideals of democratic socialism, tolerance, and internationalism that the GDR had held dear, as well as the country's rich cultural life. On the other hand, however, they recognized that the GDR was a fundamentally corrupt surveillance state whose industry weighed heavily on the environment while failing to buoy the country's economy. By looking at works by some of the most important authors from either side of the border, this study shows that those who unequivocally embraced the reunification were clearly in the minority |

It argues that, in their work during and after the Wende, most literary authors from both East and West Germany responded ambivalently to the reunification. Many felt, on the one hand, a keen sense of loss as the GDR dissolved and an expanded Federal Republic summarily absorbed former Eastern Germany. They mourned the ideals of democratic socialism, tolerance, and internationalism that the GDR had held dear, as well as the country's rich cultural life. On the other hand, however, they recognized that the GDR was a fundamentally corrupt surveillance state whose industry weighed heavily on the environment while failing to buoy the country's economy. By looking at works by some of the most important authors from either side of the border, this study shows that those who unequivocally embraced the reunification were clearly in the minority Geschichte 1989-2014 gnd rswk-swf SOCIAL SCIENCE / General bisacsh German literature 20th century History and criticism Literature and society Germany History 20th century Politics and literature Germany History 20th century Friedliche Revolution in der DDR Motiv (DE-588)4240288-8 gnd rswk-swf Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf Deutsch (DE-588)4113292-0 gnd rswk-swf Wiedervereinigung Deutschland, Motiv (DE-588)4243773-8 gnd rswk-swf Deutschland DDR, Motiv (DE-588)4127851-3 gnd rswk-swf Deutsch (DE-588)4113292-0 s Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 s Friedliche Revolution in der DDR Motiv (DE-588)4240288-8 s Wiedervereinigung Deutschland, Motiv (DE-588)4243773-8 s Deutschland DDR, Motiv (DE-588)4127851-3 s Geschichte 1989-2014 z DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 978-3-11-072408-0 Interdisciplinary German cultural studies volume 30 (DE-604)BV044330092 30 https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110725032 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
