DEFA
Traces the development of the state-sponsored company (DEFA), which was primarily responsible for film production in East Germany from 1946 to 1992. Most of the 16 essays were presented at a conference in Reading, England, at an unspecified date. Looking at specific films and scriptwriters, they analyze the representation of fascism and anti-fascism in the 1940s and 1950s, conflicts between the state and film makers in the 1960s, and social-political criticism of the 1970s and early 1980s. Paper edition (unseen), $25. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Growing in the Shadow of Antifascism
Reined into the service of the Cold War confrontation, antifascist ideology overshadowed the narrative about the Holocaust in the communist states of Eastern Europe. This led to the Western notion that in the Soviet Bloc there was a systematic suppression of the memory of the mass murder of European Jews. Going beyond disputing the mistaken opposition between “communist falsification” of history and the “repressed authentic” interpretation of the Jewish catastrophe, this work presents and analyzes the ways as the Holocaust was conceptualized in the Soviet-ruled parts of Europe. The authors provide various interpretations of the relationship between antifascism and Holocaust memory in...
Representations of Flight and Expulsion in East German Prose Works
Explodes the conventional wisdom that there was a taboo on the topic of flight and expulsion in East Germany.
A Critical History of German Film
A history of German film dealing with individual films as works of art has long been needed. Existing histories tend to treat cinema as an economic rather than an aesthetic phenomenon; earlier surveys that do engage with individual films do not include films of recent decades. This book treats representative films from the beginnings of German film to the present. Providing historical context through an introduction and interchapters preceding the treatments of each era's films, the volume is suitable for semester- or year-long survey courses and for anyone with an interest in German cinema. The films: The Student of Prague - The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari - The Last Laugh - Metropolis - The Bl...

Editing the Nation’s Memory
Europe’s nation-states emerged from a complex of nineteenth-century developments in which cultural consciousness-raising played a formative role. The nineteenth-century reflection on Europe’s national identities involved a re-inventory and revalorisation of the vernacular cultural past and, above all, the nation’s literary heritage. Everywhere in Europe, foundational texts (including medieval epics and romances, ancient laws and chronicles) were retrieved from their obscure repositories. In new, printed editions, prepared according to the emerging academic standards of textual scholarship, they were appropriated, contested and canonised as public symbols of the nation’s permanence in history. This often neglected, but crucially important Europe-wide process of ‘editing the nation’s memory’ involved old states and emerging nations, large and small countries, metropolitan and peripheral regions; it straddled politics, the academic professionalization of textual scholarship and of the human sciences, and literary taste. This collection of studies by outstanding specialists offers a comparative synopsis on exemplary cases from all corners of the European continent.
Die Familienpolitik muss neue Wege gehen!
Familien werden in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland systematisch und auf vielfältige Weise schon seit Jahrzehnten benachteiligt und so an der Erfüllung ihrer wichtigen Aufgaben gehindert. Eine Wende in der Familienpolitik und eine tiefgreifende Reform aller familienpolitischen Grundlagen und Instrumente ist deshalb überfällig. Aus diesem Grund hat die Hessische Landesregierung die Initiative ergriffen und eine grundlegende familienpolitische Alternative entwickelt und zur Diskussion gestellt. Das Ergebnis, der "Wiesbadener Entwurf" zu einer Strukturreform der Familienpolitik, wird in diesem Band dokumentiert, ebenso die Stellungnahmen führender Experten der Familienpolitik und der sozialpolitischen Verbände. Dieses Buch bietet somit die unentbehrliche Arbeitsgrundlage für alle, die an einer wirklichen Veränderung und Verbesserung der Familienpolitik in der Bundesrepublik mitwirken.
