When the Berlin Wall came down suddenly in 1989, it marked a rupture of global significance. Almost overnight, November 9 became one of the most significant dates in global collective memory, as well as a signal event in German national history. This book examines the consequences of the fall of the Wall: the physical barrier, its demise, and how it has been mediated in film and television; how the city and nation that had been torn asunder now struggle to reunite; how old and new minorities are being socially and politically integrated; and how a new European identity emerges in the post-Wall era. “The book
is a model for interdisciplinary German Studies, situating Germany in
a larger European and world context, and utilizing the tools of diverse
disciplines, from history through urban studies to film and theater studies
- all in the service of demonstrating the rich complexity of a historical
phenomenon that is all too frequently rendered in simplistic ways.” More information > http://us.macmillan.com |
