Description

When the Berlin Wall came down and the two Germanies were reunited, culture was held up to be one of the keys to national unity. Ironically, however, Cooke argues it is the realm of culture that, at times, has most clearly demonstrated the continued divisions between East and West. Taking culture as broadly defined, this book examines state memorialization, literature, television, film, and the internet, to map out the problematic path of German national identity as it struggles to deal with the legacy of division. Drawing on postcolonial theory, the author examines the contention that the East has been colonized by the West, looking at how such perceptions have pervaded both east and west German culture. Cooke also discusses the complex phenomenon of nostalgia for East Germany, as evident in the recent international hit film Good Bye, Lenin! Rich in detail and first-hand accounts, this book provocatively asks how far East Germany can be read today as a postcolonial culture. Review 'Paul Cooke's stimulating study of post-unification German culture illuminates the interrelationship between literature, film, television and the internet as communicative forms. It shows how the changing representation of East Germany, viewed both as an historical reality and a 'discursive space', has become a key indicator of Germany's progress towards the elusive goal of inner unity.' Dennis Tate, Professor of German Studies, University of Bath. 'A highly original and outstanding book. The idea of analysing Germany's post-unification developments under the rubric of post-colonialism is daring indeed, and likely to promote much discussion and debate.' Bill Niven, Nottingham Trent University 'Cooke offers original and stimulating analysis of the full array of East German culture since unification and presents important new perspectives on recent literature, film, television, and websites-all of which the reader will find judiciously placed within the wider political and h This is a must-read text for scholars of all disciplines interested post-Wall German identities. Joyce Marie Muchaben, University of Missouri About the Author Paul Cooke is Senior Lecturer in German Studies at the University Leeds.
