| Zusammenfassung: | The events of 1989 and German unification were seismic historical moments. Although 1989 appeared to signify a healing of the war-torn history of the twentieth century, unification posed the question of German cultural identity afresh. Politicians, historians, writers, filmmakers, architects, and the wider public engaged in "memory contests" over such questions as the legitimacy of alternative biographies, West German hegemony, and the normalization of German history. This dynamic, contested, and still ongoing transformation of German cultural identity is the topic of this volume of new essays by scholars from the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States, and Ireland. It explores German cultural identity by way of a range of disciplines including history, film studies, architectural history, literary criticism, memory studies, and anthropology, avoiding a homogenized interpretation. Charting the complex and often contradictory processes of cultural identity formation, the volume reveals the varied responses that continue to accompany the project of unification |

Johannsen -- Cultural topography and emotional legacies in Durs Grunbein's Dresden poetry / Anne Fuchs -- History from a bird's eye view : reimagining the past in Marcel Beyer's Kaltenburg / Aleida Assmann The events of 1989 and German unification were seismic historical moments. Although 1989 appeared to signify a healing of the war-torn history of the twentieth century, unification posed the question of German cultural identity afresh. Politicians, historians, writers, filmmakers, architects, and the wider public engaged in "memory contests" over such questions as the legitimacy of alternative biographies, West German hegemony, and the normalization of German history. This dynamic, contested, and still ongoing transformation of German cultural identity is the topic of this volume of new essays by scholars from the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States, and Ireland. It explores German cultural identity by way of a range of disciplines including history, film studies, architectural history, literary criticism, memory studies, and anthropology, avoiding a homogenized interpretation. Charting the complex and often contradictory processes of cultural identity formation, the volume reveals the varied responses that continue to accompany the project of unification Geschichte 1989-2009 gnd rswk-swf Group identity / Germany / History / 20th century Collective memory / Germany Literature and society / Germany German literature / History and criticism Kulturelle Identität (DE-588)4033542-2 gnd rswk-swf Kollektives Gedächtnis (DE-588)4200793-8 gnd rswk-swf Germany / Cultural policy Germany (East) / Cultural policy Germany / History / Unification, 1990 Deutschland (DE-588)4011882-4 gnd rswk-swf (DE-588)1071861417 Konferenzschrift 2009 Dublin gnd-content Deutschland (DE-588)4011882-4 g Kulturelle Identität (DE-588)4033542-2 s Kollektives Gedächtnis (DE-588)4200793-8 s Geschichte 1989-2009 z DE-604 Fuchs, Anne 1961- (DE-588)129457108 edt James-Chakraborty, Kathleen 1960- (DE-588)122929918 edt Shortt, Linda ca. 20./21.
