Hitler's Voice: Organisation & development of the Nazi Party
Detlef Mühlberger's work Hitler's Voice: The "Völkischer Beobachter," 1920-1933 is an important addition to the study of National Socialism. In today's scholarship, it is difficult to locate a detailed work on National Socialism that does not rely in some way on the Völkischer Beobachter: it was truly the bullhorn of the party from the time when the National Socialists were no more than a small group of unknowns gathering at the Munich Bürgerbräukeller until they gained power in 1933. Considering the vast amount of literature on National Socialism, however, it is surprising that until now, there have only been shorter articles and two dissertations and not a single comprehensive analysi...
The Power of Emotions
Emotions make history and have their own history. Exploring the emotional worlds of the German people, this book tells a very different story of the twentieth century. Ute Frevert reveals how emotions have shaped and influenced not only individuals but entire societies. Politicians use emotions, and institutions frame them, while social movements work with and through them. Ute Frevert's engaging analysis of twenty essential and powerful emotions – including anger, grief, hate, love, pride, shame and trust – explores how emotions coloured major events and developments from the German Empire to the Federal Republic until this very day. Emotions also have a history, illustrated by the changing forms, meanings and atmosphere of various emotions in twentieth-century Germany: for example, hate was a driving force behind National Socialism but is out of place in a democracy. Around 1900, people associated practices with love or nostalgia that do not resonate with us today. Showcasing why Germans were enthusiastic about the war in 1914 and proud of their national football team in 2006, this book highlights the historical power of emotions as much as their own historicity.
Microhistories of Memory
The West German novel, radio play, and television series, Through the Night (Am grünen Strand der Spree, 1955-1960), which depicts the mass shootings of Jews in the occupied Soviet Union during World War II, has been gradually regaining popularity in recent years. Originally circulated in post-war West Germany, the cultural memories of the holocaust embedded within this multi-medium construction present different forms of historical conceptualization. Using numerous archival sources, Microhistories of Memory brings forward three comprehensive case studies on the impact, actors, and materiality of accounts surrounding questions of circulation of cultural memory, audience reception, production, and popularity of Through the Night in its different mediums since its first appearance.

Nach der Sozialgeschichte
Das Projekt einer Sozialgeschichte der Literatur gilt allgemein als erschöpft. Dennoch zählen sozialgeschichtliche Problemstellungen wie die Beziehung zwischen literarischem Text und seinem gesellschaftlichen Umfeld, Untersuchungen zur Distribution von Literatur, Fragen nach der historischen und gesellschaftlichen Stellung des Autors und Lesers zur allgemeinen Praxis der Literaturwissenschaft. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes versuchen eine Bestandsaufnahme des historisch gewordenen Paradigmas "Sozialgeschichte der Literatur" im gegenwärtigen Betrieb der Literaturwissenschaft und bieten in kritischer Auseinandersetzung mit Ansätzen der Kultur- und Medientheorie neue Konzepte für eine Literaturwissenschaft "nach der Sozialgeschichte".
