Ziel des Buches ist es die Frage der Generationen und Alterskohorten auch in der Geschichtswissenschaft stärker in den Fokus zu rücken. So wird etwa der Frage nachgegangen, ob es generationsspezifische Reaktionsweisen auf bestimmte historische Ereignisse gibt oder wie die Identität einer Generation mit anderen – ideologisch, sprachlich oder kulturell geprägten – Identitäten konkurriert. Das Buch erscheint als erster Band der Reihe Mitteleuropäische historische Perspektiven, die sich methodisch-theoretischen Fragen der Geschichtswissenschaft widmet.
How did German society perceive the European East during the short twentieth century? What were the mental maps Germans constructed as their images of the European East? How did these images alter over time due to changing political systems and to what extent did those mental perceptions influence political action and the relationship between Germany and Eastern Europe?Tackling questions such as these, this book looks at the complicated relationship between Germany and the European East. Politically significant, this relationship was often fraught with tension, always delicate and never easy. The book looks at the social, cultural and political contexts that shaped the German image of the East during the Weimar Republic, the Third Reich and the Federal Republic. In addition, it charts the mental maps that German society constructed with respect to single constituent parts of Eastern Europe, such as Czechoslovakia, Poland, the Baltic States and the Soviet Union.The contributors consider how the relationship was transformed from one of hostility to one more conciliatory in character by the end of the twentieth century.
This catalogue accompanies the Fall 2005 exhibition that celebrates the flowering of art in medieval Prague, when the city became not only an imperial but also an intellectual and artistic capital of Europe. Scholars trace the distinctly Bohemian art that developed during the reigns of Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV and his sons; the artistic achievements of master craftsmen; and the rebuilding of Prague Castle and of Saint Vitus' Cathedral. -- Metropolitan Museum of Art website.
