During the fifty years since the end of hostilities, European literary memories of the war have undergone considerable change, influenced by the personal experiences of writers as well as changing political, social, and cultural factors. This volume examines changing ways of remembering the war in the literatures of France, Germany, and Italy; changes in the subject of memory, and in the relations between fiction, autobiography, and documentary, with the focus being on the extent to which shared European memories of the war have been constructed.

European Memories of the Second World War

Reisebeschreibungen über Auschwitz und Anthologien von Briefen hingerichteter WiderstandskämpferInnen sind von der Forschung vernachlässigte Genres, doch diese Textsorten können als Ausdrucksformen des Antifaschismus in beiden deutschen Nachkriegsgesellschaften untersucht werden. Fokussiert werden dabei auch andere Akteure des literarischen Felds wie Verlage und Zeitschriften, die in Beziehungen zu staatlichen und gesellschaftlichen Organisationen wirkten.

Heinrich Mann

Published in 1918, Der Untertan by Heinrich Mann (1871-1950) - previously issued in the United States only in parts under the title Man of Straw - is a satirical novel that connects the tradition of nineteenth-century German literature with the larger problems faced on the eve of the Nazi era. This edition of The Loyal Subject is introduced and edited by Helmut Peitsch. The translation is adapted, with new portions translated by Daniel Theisen.

The Loyal Subject

For several decades, a political discourse, which incites exclusion and hatred against those who are perceived as different, has been gaining ground, most notably in affluent and developed countries. Racism is back, and antiracism is no longer accepted as an argument that suffices in itself. Focusing on the growth of racism in large cities and urban areas, this volume represents views by scholars from around the world, who work in different social sciences, on the one hand; on the other, it offers statements by non-practicing academics such as culture brokers, journalists and. The book is conceived in such a way that the contributions of the scientists and the non-academic specialists are grouped around common themes, highlighting existing debates and bringing together widely scattered information. Labour politics, cultural selectionism, separate education for minorities and majorities and other projects point in the direction of more exclusion and racism. Community work, intercultural education and political organization of religious practices explore alternative avenues.
