In this study Erika L. Briesacher argues that festivals in Lubeck,
Germany spanning 1920 to 1960 demonstrate interlocking economic,
social, and cultural factors that contribute to local, national,
and international identity formation. Focusing on institutional
records as well as public discourse and material artifacts, the
author traces the mobilization of "Nordic" as a distinctly German
in-group during the Weimar, Nazi, and early Cold War eras,
highlighting particular ways participants included and excluded
racial, religious, and other cultural identities in their own
"imagined community." Focusing on the festival as both a site of
participation and consumption, the author assesses two postwar
periods as well as the legacy of the Holocaust in a northwest
German town.
