Mass Media and Historical Change
Media influenced politics, culture, and everyday life long before the invention of the Internet. This book shows how the advent of new media has changed societies in modern history, focusing not on the specifics of technology but rather on their distribution, use, and impact. Using Germany as an example for international trends, it compares the advent of printing in Europe and East Asia, and the impact of the press on revolutions, nation building, and wars in North America and Europe. The rise of tabloids and film is discussed as an international phenomenon, as the importance of media during National Socialism is looked at in comparison with Fascist Italy and Spain. Finally, this book offers a precise analysis of media during the Cold War, with divided Germany providing the central case study.
A History Shared and Divided
By and large, the histories of East and West Germany have been studied in relative isolation. And yet, for all their differences, the historical trajectories of both nations were interrelated in complex ways, shaped by economic crises, social and cultural changes, protest movements, and other phenomena so diffuse that they could hardly be contained by the Iron Curtain. Accordingly, A History Shared and Divided offers a collective portrait of the two Germanies that is both broad and deep. It brings together comprehensive thematic surveys by specialists in social history, media, education, the environment, and similar topics to assemble a monumental account of both nations from the crises of the 1970s to—and beyond—the reunification era.

Histories of the Aftermath
In 1945, Europeans confronted a legacy of mass destruction and death: millions of families had lost their homes and livelihoods; millions of men in uniform had lost their lives; and millions more had been displaced by the war's destruction, and the genocidal policies of the Nazi regime. From a range of methodological historical perspectives-military, cultural, and social, to film and gender and sexuality studies-this volume explores how Europeans came to terms with these multiple pasts. With a focus on distinctive national experiences in both Eastern and Western Europe, it illuminates how postwar stabilization coexisted with persistent insecurities, injuries, and trauma.
Öffentliche Geheimnisse
Im ausgehenden 19. Jahrhundert traten in ganz Westeuropa zahllose spektakuläre Skandale auf. Es kam zu Enthüllungen über Korruption, Ehebrüche und koloniale Gewalt, die zu politischen Krisen und grenzübergreifender Empörung führten. Frank Bösch untersucht diese politischen Skandale erstmalig systematisch, international vergleichend und anhand von umfassenden Archivquellen. Er analysiert Verlauf und Wirkungen der Skandale und fragt, inwieweit sie die politische Kommunikation, Machtstrukturen und kulturellen Normen beeinflussten. Zudem zeigt die Studie, wie sich in Deutschland und Großbritannien das Verhältnis von Politik, Medien und Öffentlichkeit veränderte und verdeutlicht die Interaktionen und Annäherungen zwischen den beiden Ländern.
Terror and Democracy in West Germany
Karrin Hanshew examines West German responses to 1970s terrorism to explain why the experience had lasting significance for German politics and society.
