The Cold War was not only about the imperial ambitions of the super
powers, their military strategies, and antagonistic ideologies. It
was also about conflicting worldviews and their correlates in the
daily life of the societies involved. The term "Cold War Culture"
is often used in a broad sense to describe media influences, social
practices, and symbolic representations as they shape, and are
shaped by, international relations. Yet, it remains in question
whether - or to what extent - the Cold War Culture model can be
applied to European societies, both in the East and the West. While
every European country had to adapt to the constraints imposed by
the Cold War, individual development was affected by specific
conditions as detailed in these chapters. This volume offers an
important contribution to the international debate on this issue of
the Cold War impact on everyday life by providing a better
understanding of its history and legacy in Eastern and Western
Europe.

Despite the growing interest in general European history, the
European dimension is surprisingly absent from the writing of
contemporary history. In most countries, the historiography on the
20th century continues to be dominated by national perspectives.
Although there is cross-national work on specific topics such as
occupation or resistance, transnational conceptions and narratives
of contemporary European history have yet to be worked out. This
volume focuses on the development of a shared conception of recent
European history that will be required as an underpinning for
further economic and political integration so as to make lasting
cooperation on the old continent possible. It tries to overcome the
traditional national framing that ironically persists just at a
time when organized efforts to transform Europe from an object of
debate to an actual subject have some chance of succeeding in
making it into a polity in its own right. This work is presented
with the collaboration of Annelie Ramsbrock.
..".brings together an array of scholars' perspectives and
approaches on how to rework and reframe traditional histories in
order to foster and serve as the foundation for future political
and economic integration in Europe...overall this volume critically
examines the historiography of integration and the foundations of
the constantly evolving European community. It successfully
provides its readers with a refreshing framework in which European
history can be studied and is highly recommended for graduate
students and scholars of contemporary European history." . H-German

Das um 1900 durch Bernhard Seuffert gegrundete Editionsvorhaben,
das sich die historisch-kritische Edition des Wielandschen uvres
(Werke, Ubersetzungen und Briefwechsel) zum Ziel setzte, begann ab
1909 Bande in der Ersten Reihe (Werke) und Zweiten Reihe
(Ubersetzungen) zu veroffentlichen. Die Arbeit an der Ausgabe war
wahrend und nach den beiden Weltkriegen jeweils langere Zeit
unterbrochen. In den 50er Jahren begann Hans-Werner Seiffert im
Auftrag der Berliner Akademie der Wissenschaften mit der
Bearbeitung des Wielandschen Briefwechsels. Der Erste Band konnte
1963 publiziert werden. Seit 1982 setzt Siegfried Scheibe mit
seinen Mitarbeitern die Arbeit an der Wieland-Ausgabe erfolgreich
fort. Es wurden neue editorische Grundlagen erarbeitet und erstmals
vollstandige Sammlungen des Materials angelegt. Diese
Briefwechsel-Edition wird 19 Bande umfassen. Die noch ausstehenden
Bande (15.2, 18.1 und 18.2) befinden sich bereits in Vorbereitung.
Band 19 wird neben einem Gesamtregister fur die Ausgabe auch
Nachtrage enthalten, darunter rund vierzig bisher unbekannte Briefe
Wielands. Zuletzt erschienen: Elfter Band: Januar 1791-Juni 1793

Censorship and its counterpart, the 'underground' production and
distribution of printed texts and images, existed ever since a
'public sphere' came into being. The volume approaches this
phenomenon by covering cases from the Tsarist Empire, the Soviet
Union, Central Europe, South America and China. In a long-term as
well as global perspective, the well-known practise of samizdat
under communist rule may be understood as part of a long tradition
of underground publishing still relevant today in places like
Russia, Iran, or China.
