Competing representations of the former East German state in the
German cultural memory. Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin
Wall, the consequences of the country's divided past continue to be
debated. The legacy of the German Democratic Republic occupies a
major role in German popular culture, with audiences flocking to
films claiming to depict the East German state "as it was."
Politicians from both left and right make use of its legacy to
support their parties' approach to unification, while former
citizens of the GDR are still working through their own memories of
the regime and adjusting to unification. Since 1989, competing
representations of the East German state have emerged, some
underlining its repressive nature, others lamenting the loss of
asense of community. The twentieth anniversary of the Wende is an
occasion to reflect upon both the history of the GDR and the ways
in which it has been remembered, and the present volume presents
new research on the theme from a variety of perspectives, with
sections on film and literature, museums and memorials, and
historiography and politics. Contributors: Thomas Ahbe, Pertti
Ahonen, Silke Arnold-de Simine, Stefan Berger, Laura Bradley, Mary
Fulbrook, Nick Hodgin, Anna O'Driscoll, Stuart Parkes, Caroline
Pearce, Gunter Schlusche, Peter Thompson, Andreas Wagner. Nick
Hodgin is a Cultural Historian working at the University of
Sheffield, UK, and Caroline Pearce is Lecturer in German and
Interpreting, also at the University of Sheffield.
