Good housing proved to be the savior of the working world in the last pandemic. The term "family" could also be understood much more broadly today: Neighborhoods, co-living, working groups have taken on much of the characteristics of a close-knit, jointly socialized group. Three presented projects reflect three different rhythms of life of three families between their privacy and the public. Three different ambiences, open and closed spaces, offer a range of uses lived through self-determination.

The re-emergence of the issue of wartime suffering to the fore of German public discourse represents the greatest shift in German memory culture since the Historikerstreit of the 1980s. The (international) attention and debates triggered by, for example, W.G. Sebald’s Luftkrieg und Literatur, Günter Grass’s Im Krebsgang, Jörg Friedrich’s Der Brand testify to a change in focus away from the victims of National Socialism to the traumatic experience of the ‘perpetrator collective’ and its legacies. The volume brings together German, English and Israeli literary and film scholars and historians addressing issues surrounding the representation of German wartime suffering from the immediate post-war period to the present in literature, film and public commemorative discourse. Split into four sections, the volume discusses the representation of Germans as victims in post-war literature and film, the current memory politics of the Bund der Vertriebenen, the public commemoration of the air raids on Hamburg and Dresden and their representation in film, photography, historiography and literature, the impact and reception of W.G. Sebald’s Luftkrieg und Literatur, the representation of flight and expulsion in contemporary writing, the problem of empathy in representations of Germans as victims and the representation of suffering and National Socialism in Oliver Hirschbiegel’s film Der Untergang.

With the opening up of the East in the autumn of 1989 claims were being made, on the one hand, that German literature had never, in fact, been divided, while others were proclaiming the end of East and West German literatures as they had existed, and the beginning of a new era.

Um eine solide Bewertung der Beziehungen zwischen der EU und der Türkei und ihrer Zukunftsaussichten zu ermöglichen, konzentriert sich dieser Band auf die Dreiecksbeziehung zwischen dem Block und der Türkei einerseits und den bilateralen Beziehungen zwischen Deutschland und der Türkei andererseits. Auf der Grundlage des historischen Institutionalismus geht er von der Annahme aus, dass eine grundlegende Umstrukturierung der Beziehungen zwischen der EU und der Türkei "kritische Wendepunkte" erfordert, die einen "Paradigmenwechsel" nach sich ziehen. Es wird der politische Diskurs über die Beziehungen zwischen der EU und der Türkei dekonstruiert, um die wichtigsten Wahrnehmungen und Narrative der Beziehungen zwischen der EU und der Türkei nicht nur in Deutschland und der Türkei, sondern auch auf EU-Ebene in Brüssel zu identifizieren, zu analysieren und zu bewerten. Die analytischen Beiträge zielen auf die Beantwortung der allgemeinen Fragen ab, ob und zu welchem Zeitpunkt ein Paradigmenwechsel zu erkennen ist; wenn ja, was die treibenden Faktoren eines solchen Wechsels sind; und ob sich die Narrative der EU-Türkei-Beziehungen im Laufe der Zeit verändern. Mit Beiträgen von Esra Çengel, Atila Eralp, Denise Ersoy, Hanna-Lisa Hauge, Ebru Ece Özbey, Ardahan Özkan Gedikli, Moritz Rau, Anke Schönlau, Mirja Schröder, Nurdan Selay Bedir, Özgehan Şenyuva, Funda Tekin, Helena Weise und Wolfgang Wessels.

Arguably the most important—and influential—German woman writer of the last century, Christa Wolf was long heralded as "die gesamtdeutsche Autorin," an author for all of Germany; but, after 1989 in unified Germany, Wolf found herself suddenly embroiled in controversies that challenged her integrity and consigned her to an ideologically suspect identity as "DDR Schriftstellerin” (GDR writer) or “Staatsdichterin” (state poet). What Remains: Responses to the Legacy of Christa Wolf asks the question of what truly remains of her legacy in the annals of contemporary German culture and history. Unlike most of what appeared in the wake of Wolf’s death, however, the contributions to this international volume seek neither to monumentalize her nor to dismantle her stature, but to employ a range of methodologies—comparative, intertextual, psychoanalytic, historical, transcultural—to offer sensitive assessments of Wolf’s major literary texts, as well as of her lesser known work in genres such as film and essay.

Recent years have witnessed an upsurge of interest in relating the Bible to the worlds of literature and the visual arts. How is the Bible portrayed in the arts and how do the arts affect what we know, or think we know, about the Bible? In this provocative and wide-ranging collection, the eight contributors engage in a lively and fruitful conversation with the work of novelists, artists, filmmakers, and critics. Topics treated in this collection include the Bible and film, from Frank Capra movies of the 30s and 40s to such Hollywood epics as The Robe and The Ten Commandments; the Bible and literature, focusing particularly on the story of David and Bathsheba in recent fiction; and the Bible and painting, with specific studies of Rembrandt as painter and etcher and the twentieth-century German artist Lovis Corinth and more generalized discussion of paintings of King David throughout the centuries and the representation of the sexuality of Jesus in Renaissance art. Contributors include Joel Rosenberg, Erica Sheen, Martin O'Kane, Ilse Müllner, Johannes Taschner, Clive Marsh, J. Cheryl Exum, and David Jasper.
