The concept of Heimat with its seemingly pre- or anti-modern
connotations of rootedness in a place of origin is central to a
critical understanding of German history and culture. Over the
course of the past fifteen years, scholars across a range of
disciplines have found new ways to examine the changing notions of
Heimat - its multifaceted cultural, literary, and visual history,
its gendered connotations, and its national and ideological
appropriations. This anthology is the first to examine cultural
manifestations of Heimat by giving special consideration to issues
of memory and space. The contributions to this volume challenge
static notions of place often associated with Heimat. Instead, they
explore the social and cultural production of places of belonging
as they emerge in literary and visual narratives ranging from 1800
to 2000 and beyond. Although the anthology includes historical
perspectives on Heimat, its overall objective is not to trace its
cultural or literary history, but to place this complex term into
new conceptual contexts. Drawing attention to manifestations of
Heimat within German literary and cultural studies provides a rich
ground for exploring the transformation of locality in
trans/national contexts.
