Transitional Justice After German Reunification
An investigation of denunciators for the East German secret police, the Ministry of State Security and the way they have been publicly unveiled.
Gender in der deutschsprachigen Kinder- und Jugendliteratur
Genderaspekte in der Kinder- und Jugendliteratur sind gesellschaftspolitisch besonders relevant, da im Kindes- und Jugendalter die entscheidenden Gender-Prägungen stattfinden und hierbei Medien eine wichtige Rolle spielen. Dies gilt umso mehr, als Kinder- und Jugendliteratur stets Hand in Hand mit den jeweils herrschenden pädagogischen Diskursen ging und bis heute von dem Auftrag geleitet ist, die Sozialisation von Heranwachsenden zu begleiten. Der vorliegende Band stellt erstmals die deutschsprachige Kinder- und Jugendliteratur in ihrer diachronen Entwicklung vom Mittelalter bis zur Gegenwart unter Genderaspekten dar. Die Kapitel zu den einzelnen Epochen geben dabei jeweils Überblicke über die relevanten Diskurse der Zeit und stellen exemplarisch wichtige Werke unter der Genderperspektive vor. Indem gezeigt wird, wie Kinder- und Jugendliteratur einerseits die herrschenden gesellschaftlichen Genderkonstrukte reflektiert und andererseits neue Konzepte oder gar Utopien entwirft, widmet sich der Band einem aktuellen Thema, das über kulturwissenschaftliche Fragen hinausweist.
Public Information Messages
Public information messages are an important means of state-citizen communication in today's societies. Using this genre, citizens are directed to never ever drink and drive, to slow down and to learn to say no. Yet, this book presents the first in-depth analysis of public information messages from a linguistic perspective, and indeed also from a cross-cultural perspective. Specifically, the study, adopting genre analysis, contrasts a corpus of state-run national public information campaigns in Germany and Ireland. A taxonomy of moves is developed inductively and the interactional features of the genre are analysed and related to the context of use. The comprehensive discussion of theoretical and methodological issues, the in-depth analysis and the extensive bibliography make this book of interest to researchers and students in (contrastive) discourse analysis, (cross-cultural) pragmatics, contrastive rhetoric, advertising, social psychology, mass communication and media studies. Copy-writers will also profit from the insights gained, particularly within the context of an increase in Europe-wide public information campaigns.
Combatting Homophobia
Discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity concerns everybody, but it is foremost lesbian and gay persons who have to deal with it, especially when confronting the discovery of their homosexuality as a child or adolescent. In this book, education practitioners working with youth and researchers - from social, political, and educational sciences, as well as theology and philosophy - raise awareness of the wide spectrum of homophobia and offer solutions to the suffering it engenders in youths. The book will be helpful for parents, teachers, and others who are responsible for youth and education. It reviews concrete knowledge, combines it with scientific approaches, and identifies the need for further research. (Series: Gender-Diskussion - Vol. 13)
Honecker's Children
During the final decade of the German Democratic Republic (GDR), young citizens found themselves at the heart of a rigorous program of socialist patriotic education, yet following the fall of the Berlin Wall, the emphasis of official state rhetoric, textbooks and youth activities changed beyond recognition. For the young generation growing up during this period, "normality" was turned on its head, leaving a sense of insecurity and inner turmoil. Using a combination of archival research and interviews, together with educational materials and government reports, this book examines the relationship between young people and their two successive states in East(ern) Germany between 1979 and 2002
Urban Cultures in (post)colonial Central Europe
"Agata Anna Lisiak shows in her book Urban Cultures in (Post)colonial Central Europe how the postcolonial idea, developed recently to study Central and East European culture, can help us see the transformations of cities in the region. Lisiak argues that Berlin, Budapest Warsaw, and Prague are incubated cultures whose deepest forces were shadowy and ironic."-Marshall Berman, City University of New York.
Sternstunden der Wahrheit
Warum sachlich, wenn es persönlich geht. Warum recherchieren, wenn man schreiben kann. Warum beweisen, wenn man behaupten kann. Und: Die ›Wahrheit‹ weiß immer, wie weit sie zu weit gehen kann. Rare Ausnahmen bestätigen auch hier allemal die Regel. Der vorliegende Sammelband mit Texten aus den letzten zehn Jahren ist eindrücklicher Beweis für die Wahrheit der genannten Grundsätze, vielmehr: der Beweis für die Wahrheit der ›Wahrheit‹. Mit Beiträgen von: Rob Alef, Christian Bartel, Archi W. Bechlenberg, Bernhard Becker, F.W. Bernstein, Björn Blaschke, Thomas C. Breuer, Mathias Broeckers, Silke Burmester, Eugen Egner, Susanne Fischer, Arno Frank, Pia Frankenberg, Gerald Fricke, ...
Textual Responses to German Unification
The unification of the two German states changed the geo-political, economic, social, and cultural borders of Germany and Europe. This volume in three parts researches how East German and West German authors and directors reacted to these radical changes. The basis of this research are fictional, autobiographical, journalistic, and cinematic texts. The authors and directors presented in this volume not only comment on the changes which they themselves experienced but also voice their changing attitudes to their own past within the divided Germany.
