Domestic Disputes is the first monograph in German studies to offer
a critical examination of the home ownership crisis in the former
East Germany that resulted from unification policy, taking as its
focus news media, made-for-television movies, cinematic releases,
and prose fiction that depict property disputes between former East
and West Germans. In the cultural productions discussed in this
book, anxieties about social disenfranchisement through unification
policy are dramatized in narratives in which Westerners acquire, or
attempt to acquire, property in the former East Germany. Each
chapter addresses a different type of narrative that has emerged to
frame those anxieties, including those of neocolonial Western
takeover, the engagement with difficult family histories,
masculinity crises in the West, and the corporatization of home.
Domestic Disputes is the first book-length study to outline the way
in which homes were awarded to individuals and families as the
former East Germany privatized and to offer in-depth examinations
of the narratives that emerged from that social phenomenon.
