About the Book

Cultural Transformations provides an unusual look at cultural issues in Germany since the opening of the Berlin Wall in November 1989. Literary critics, political scientists, regional historians, and people working in cultural politics consider a broad range of cultural topics, addressing the difficulties and opportunities involved in the recent processes of transformation in both parts of Germany. The book offers new assessments of GDR literature and concrete accounts of new cultural projects in Berlin and the state of Saxony. The book will be of interest not only to Germanists and political scientists but also to those interested in phenomena associated with the rapidly changing face of Europe in general.

Table of Contents:
Part 1 German identities: the national identity of the GDR - antifascism, historiography, literature, Peter C. Pfeiffer; citizenship as process - German identity in an age of reconstruction, Joyce Marie Mushaben; the future requires an origin - East-West German identity, the opportunities and difficulties of cultural politics, Hermann Glaser; coming home into exile - the end of Romanian-German culture, Erika Nielsen. Part 2 Politics of literary history and the literary canon: new contexts for GDR literature - an American perspective, Patricia Herminghouse; canons crumble just like walls - discovering the works of GDR women writers, Karen Jankowsky; do we need to rewrite German literary history since 1945? - a German perspective, Wolfgang Emmerich; voices from No Man's Land - recent German poetry, Peter Geist.

Ohlau.

Review :
The collection of these conference essays provides stimulating insights into the beginnings of the cultural merger of the New Germany and it would be of benefit if more such volumes were to follow.
