Produktinformationen zu „Memory and History (PDF)“
This book brings together eighteen English language essays on the fringes, overlap, and tensions of memory and history that the author has published over the last three decades. It is characteristic that the two longest essays in this volume, and the most recent one, are reflections on the author's ambiguity vis-à-vis autobiographical Ego-histoire, on his role and experiences as a government advisor during the international negotiations on compensation for Nazi forced labor, and on the contexts of the essays of this book. The author was also instrumental in bringing Oral History to Germany and making it academically respectable. So the second largest part of this book displays some examples of his approaches to German 'Erfahrungsgeschichte' West and East, and to their roots in and beyond the Nazi period, being analytical and literary at the same time. The third major group of essays documents some of the author's interventions into intellectual and conceptual history: with the examples of 'Collective Identity' and 'Posthistoire' he shows the merits of investigative 'Geistesgeschichte' contesting mainstream intellectual assumptions. With the method of Comparative Considerations he tries to specify the situation of German Labor after the 'Third Reich', the mythological potential of Soviet Special Camps in Germany after World War II, or the perspectives of the German 'Sonderweg' after 1990.
