Abstract

With German reunification and the demise of the German Democratic Republic in 1990, East German historians and their traditions of historiography were removed from mainstream discourse in Germany and relegated to the periphery. By the mid-1990s, few GDR-trained historians remained in academia. These developments led to a greater degree of intellectual pluralism, yet marginalized many accomplished scholars. East German Historians since Reunification assesses what was gained and lost in the process of dissolving and remaking GDR institutions of historical scholarship. The collection combines primary and secondary sources: younger scholars offer analyses of East German historiography, while senior scholars who lived through the dismantling process provide firsthand accounts. Contributors address broad trends in scholarship as well as particular subfields and institutions. What unites them is a willingness to think critically about the achievements and shortcomings of GDR historiography, and its fate after German reunification.

Abstract

Die Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes unterziehen eingeführte Diskurs- und Argumentationslinien der Forschung zur DDR-Literatur einer kritischen Relektüre. Im zeitlichen Anstand von nun bald einem Vierteljahrhundert zum Fall der Mauer richten sie noch einmal den Blick auf Formierungen normativen Handelns im Umgang mit Literatur und damit den Voraussetzungen von Wertungen innerhalb der Literaturgeschichtsschreibung, ihren Bedingungen, Ausprägungen, Konzepten und ihrem Wandel. Zugleich damit stellen sie Fragen der Gattungsentwicklung und Beobachtungen zu diskursiven Leitvorstellungen, ästhetischen und politischen Kontexten der frühen SBZ/DDR-Zeit zur Diskussion. Einen dritten Schwerpunkt der Auseinandersetzung bilden darüber hinaus die späte DDR-Literatur und die Literatur um die Wende herum mit ihren literarischen Inszenierungen von Traumata, (Ab-)Brüchen und Neuanfängen. Den Abschluss bilden drei Fallstudien zu Franz Fühmanns fragmentarischem Prosatext Im Berg und Uwe Tellkamps Roman Der Turm .

Abstract

The radical process of religious change in eastern Germany poses a real challenge to social researchers. Common explanations view either the socialist past or larger scale processes of modernization to be the cause of eastern German secularization, but fail to address historical contingencies and individual agency. This book focuses on the interplay between local bureaucracies and individual lives. Contextualizing individual choices is essential in order to gain insight into how religious meaning is produced, reproduced, contested, discontinued, and disrupted. Bringing together the disciplines of anthropology, history, political science, and sociology, what unites the articles is their qualitative approach. The collection of articles lays out an impressive mosaic of the religious and the secular in the GDR and contemporary eastern Germany. Contributors are Irene Becci, Anja Frank, Uta Karstein, Anna Körs, Esther Peperkamp, Małgorzata Rajtar, Thomas Schmidt-Lux, Nikolai Vukov, Kirstin Wappler, and Monika Wohlrab-Sahr.

Abstract

Seit der Gründung der Nationalen Volksarmee 1956 strebte die SED nach umfassender politischer Kontrolle der Streitkräfte. Angesichts der deutschen Teilung und vor dem Hintergrund des ungarischen Aufstandes von 1956 war die SED in besonderem Maße auf die Loyalität der Armeeführung angewiesen; eine deutsch-deutsche Konfrontation im Rahmen des Ost-West-Konflikts und die Niederschlagung innerer Unruhen waren die wahrscheinlichsten Szenarien für den Einsatz der NVA. Der Versuch, die Zuverlässigkeit der Armee durch massive politische Interventionen sicherzustellen, führte jedoch zu Störungen der mil

Abstract

After 1945, the Soviet secret services made a significant contribution to the formation of the GDR along Soviet lines. Mass arrests and ""purges"" accompanied the activities of the military branches of the NKVD-MVD and MGB. This source work, opening with a well-researched introduction to the historical context, is the first in the German language to examine the role of the Soviet secret police in the Soviet occupied zone and subsequently the GDR. Documented are the NKVD-MGB's formation, field of activity and daily routines.

Abstract

This is the first book in English to survey the Eastern German literary trend of employing humor and satire to come to terms with experiences in the German Democratic Republic and after the fall of the Berlin Wall. As sophisticated attempts to make sense of socialism's failure and a difficult unification process, these contemporary texts help define Germany today from a specific, Eastern German perspective. Grounded in politics and history, ten humorous and satirical novels are analyzed for their literary aesthetics and language, cultural critiques, and socio-political insights. The texts include popular novels such as Thomas Brussig's Helden wie wir, Ingo Schulze's Simple Storys, and Jens Sparschuh's Der Zimmerspringbrunnen, as well as lesser-known but equally relevant works like Schlehweins Giraffe by Bernd Schirmer and Katerfrühstück by Erich Loest. A broad spectrum of humor and satire theories is applied to probe texts from various angles and suggest multi-layered answers to the question of how these literary modes function in postwall Germany to construct a specifically Eastern German identity. Interviews the author conducted with five of the satirists are appended as primary sources and contribute to the interpretation of the texts.

Abstract

At first glance, romance seems an improbable angle from which to write a cultural history of the German Democratic Republic. By most accounts the GDR was among the most dour and disciplined of socialist states, so devoted to the rigors of Stalinist aesthetics that the notion of an East German romantic comedy was more likely to generate punch lines than lines at the box office.But in fact, as John Urang shows in Legal Tender, love was freighted as a privileged site for the negotiation and reorganization of a surprising array of issues in East German public culture between 1949 and 1989. Through close readings of a diverse selection of films and novels from the former GDR, Urang offers an eye-opening account of the ideological stakes of love stories in East German culture. Throughout its forty-year existence the East German state was plagued with an ongoing problem of legitimacy. The love story's unique and unpredictable mix of stabilizing and subversive effects gave it a peculiar status in the cultural sphere.Urang shows how love stories could mediate the problem of social stratification, providing a language with which to discuss the experience of class antagonism without undermining the Party's legitimacy. But for the Party there was danger in borrowing legitimacy from the romantic plot: the love story's destabilizing influences of desire and drive could just as easily disrupt as reconcile. A unique contribution to German studies, Legal Tender offers remarkable insights into the uses and capacities of romance in modern Western culture.
