Vom Schreiben auf dem Bitterfelder Weg
Die Geschichte der Bewegung schreibender Arbeiter/innen der DDR ist nur in Ansätzen geschrieben. Dieses Buch betrachten wir als Grundbaustein dazu. Vom Literaturbetrieb der Alt-BRD als Produktionsstätten von »Ideologiekitsch« verschrien, inspirierte die Bewegung den »Werkkreis Literatur der Arbeitswelt«. Hier wie dort ermöglichten die Zirkel bei arbeitenden Menschen emanzipatorische, kulturpolitische Bildungsprozesse, die dem Bürgertum suspekt waren. Und sie brachten beachtliche Werke hervor. Unser Autor Prof. em Rüdiger Bernhardt begleitete die Bewegung schreibender Arbeiter/innen wissenschaftlich und ganz praktisch.
Dictatorship as Experience
A decade after the collapse of communism, this volume presents a historical reflection on the perplexing nature of the East German dictatorship. In contrast to most political rhetoric, it seeks to establish a middle ground between totalitarianism theory, stressing the repressive features of the SED-regime, and apologetics of the socialist experiment, emphasizing the normality of daily lives. The book transcends the polarization of public debate by stressing the tensions and contradictions within the East German system that combined both aspects by using dictatorial means to achieve its emancipatory aims. By analyzing a range of political, social, cultural, and chronological topics, the contributors sketch a differentiated picture of the GDR which emphasizes both its repressive and its welfare features. The sixteen original essays, especially written for this volume by historians from both east and west Germany, represent the cutting edge of current research and suggest new theoretical perspectives. They explore political, social, and cultural mechanisms of control as well as analyze their limits and discuss the mixture of dynamism and stagnation that was typical of the GDR.
Zur besonderen Verwendung
Eigentlich wollte ich im Sommer 2013 nur zum Geburtsort meiner Oma Wally nach Bad Salzbrunn reisen. Doch dann interessierte mich, welche Verwerfungen zwei Weltkriege, der Nationalsozialismus sowie Flucht und Vertreibung in meiner Familie hinterlassen hatten. Stück für Stück konnte ich in Breslau, Danzig, Vilnius, Kischinau, Odessa und Tiraspol mein Familienpuzzle zusammenfügen. Wobei ich in Osteuropa immer wieder mit der Frage konfrontiert wurde, wie ich es als Deutsche heute mit Russland halte. Denn wie hatte es Jean-Claude Juncker bereits 2012 formuliert: Wer an Europa zweifelt, sollte Soldatenfriedhöfe besuchen!
Eastern Europe in Revolution
In this book twelve outstanding authorities present their thoroughgoing assessments of the East European revolution of 1989—the definite collapse of communism as an ideology, a political movement, and a system of power in eight countries. All but two of the contributors focus on the revolution in an individual region or country—Poland, Hungary, the German Democratic Republic, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, and Albania—and each of them addresses the theme of regime transition. In Eastern Europe, of course, the transition from communism to.... has been as complex and varied as the political geography of the notorious "fracture zone" itself, and individual authors thus concentrate on different sets of problems; they tell different kinds of stories. Pointing to the enormous difficulties of systematic transformation, they measure the dangers of nationality conflict and the potential for new authoritarianism. Ivo Banac has assembled a cast with impressive credentials. Without imposing an artificial unity on a chaotic subject, their book maps out the events of 1989-90 and sets the background for figuring out where the region may be headed.
