Book Synopsis Heimat and Migration by : Josef Stuart Len Cagle
Download or read book Heimat and Migration written by Josef Stuart Len Cagle and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-02-20 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discourses of Heimat and of migration both negotiate questions of identity, belonging, and integration; moreover, despite the reemergence of right-wing, racist, and exclusionary uses of the term Heimat, there are in fact more recent German-language cultural texts that problematize and challenge a view of Heimat as a community that excludes the Other than there are promulgating it. This volume addresses the parallel proliferation of discourses of Heimat and of migration in contemporary German-language culture and demonstrates that the entanglement of migration and Heimat can be productive: it can help us to reframe what it means to have a home, to lose one, find one, or belong to one.

Download or read book 'Heimat' written by Friederike Eigler and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of Heimat with its seemingly pre- or anti-modern connotations of rootedness in a place of origin is central to a critical understanding of German history and culture. Over the course of the past fifteen years, scholars across a range of disciplines have found new ways to examine the changing notions of Heimat – its multifaceted cultural, literary, and visual history, its gendered connotations, and its national and ideological appropriations. This anthology is the first to examine cultural manifestations of Heimat by giving special consideration to issues of memory and space. The contributions to this volume challenge static notions of place often associated with Heimat. Instead, they explore the social and cultural production of places of belonging as they emerge in literary and visual narratives ranging from 1800 to 2000 and beyond. Although the anthology includes historical perspectives on Heimat, its overall objective is not to trace its cultural or literary history, but to place this complex term into new conceptual contexts. Drawing attention to manifestations of Heimat within German literary and cultural studies provides a rich ground for exploring the transformation of locality in trans/national contexts.
Download or read book Screening the East written by Nick Hodgin and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2011-05-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Screening the East considers German filmmakers’ responses to unification. In particular, it traces the representation of the East German community in films made since 1989 and considers whether these narratives challenge or reinforce the notion of a separate East German identity. The book identifies and analyses a large number of films, from internationally successful box-office hits, to lesser-known productions, many of which are discussed here for the first time. Providing an insight into the films’ historical and political context, it considers related issues such as stereotyping, racism, regional particularism and the Germans’ confrontation with the past.
Book Synopsis The Heimat Abroad by : K. Molly O'Donnell
Download or read book The Heimat Abroad written by K. Molly O'Donnell and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2010-02-22 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Germans have been one of the most mobile and dispersed populations on earth. Communities of German speakers, scattered around the globe, have long believed they could recreate their Heimat (homeland) wherever they moved, and that their enclaves could remain truly German. Furthermore, the history of Germany is inextricably tied to Germans outside the homeland who formed new communities that often retained their Germanness. Emigrants, including political, economic, and religious exiles such as Jewish Germans, fostered a nostalgia for home, which, along with longstanding mutual ties of family, trade, and culture, bound them to Germany. The Heimat Abroad is the first book to examine the problem of Germany's long and complex relationship to ethnic Germans outside its national borders. Beyond defining who is German and what makes them so, the book reconceives German identity and history in global terms and challenges the nation state and its borders as the sole basis of German nationalism.

Book Synopsis Sense(s) of Heimat by : Jessica Andel
Download or read book Sense(s) of Heimat written by Jessica Andel and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-08-22 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The German notion of ‘Heimat’ is highly subjective, ambiguous and historically charged. Senses of belonging and identity associated with Heimat render the concept vulnerable to appropriation and instrumentalization by different political forces. Thereby, a static and exclusive understanding of Heimat is often depicted. This book drafts a counternarrative to demystify the contested concept. On the one hand, Heimat is conceptualized as spatial through emotional-geographical approaches to human-place relations. And on the other hand, the concept is placed in a global context through the perspective of international migration. The author contributes to the understanding of Heimat as an emotional map of self-location. This subjective map is neither purely static nor dynamic - it is characterized by simultaneities of opposing processes.
Book Synopsis No Place Like Home by : Johannes von Moltke
Download or read book No Place Like Home written by Johannes von Moltke and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2005-09-06 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive account of Germany's most enduring film genre, the Heimatfilm, which has offered idyllic variations on the idea that "there is no place like home" since cinema's early days. Charting the development of this popular genre over the course of a century in a work informed by film studies, cultural history, and social theory, Johannes von Moltke focuses in particular on its heyday in the 1950s, a period that has been little studied. Questions of what it could possibly mean to call the German nation "home" after the catastrophes of World War II are anxiously present in these films, and von Moltke uses them as a lens through which to view contemporary discourses on German national identity.
Book Synopsis German Diasporic Experiences by : Sebastian Siebel-Achenbach
Download or read book German Diasporic Experiences written by Sebastian Siebel-Achenbach and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2008-10-02 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Co-published with the Waterloo Centre for German Studies For centuries, large numbers of German-speaking people have emigrated from settlements in Europe to other countries and continents. In German Diasporic Experiences: Identity, Migration, and Loss, more than forty international contributors describe and discuss aspects of the history, language, and culture of these migrant groups, individuals, and their descendants. Part I focuses on identity, with essays exploring the connections among language, politics, and the construction of histories—national, familial, and personal—in German-speaking diasporic communities around the world. Part II deals with migration, examining such issues as German migrants in postwar Britain, German refugees and forced migration, and the immigrant as a fictional character, among others. Part III examines the idea of loss in diasporic experience with essays on nationalization, language change or loss, and the reshaping of cultural identity. Essays are revised versions of papers presented at an international conference held at the University of Waterloo in August 2006, organized by the Waterloo Centre for German Studies, and reflect the multidisciplinarity and the global perspective of this field of study.
Book Synopsis Germans from the East by : H.W. Schoenberg
Download or read book Germans from the East written by H.W. Schoenberg and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who, in 1945 and 1946, could have foreseen that the economic and social integration of the millions of Germans from the East expelled into West Germany after Wodd War II would largely be accomplished in a few years? And, who could have foreseen that many years after this accomplishment the political repercussions of the expulsions would go on? Yet, surprisingly enough, this is what has happened. In 1969, as usual, the major issues of the federal election campaign in West Germany hardly reflect any specific economic and social concerns of the expellees, not even those bruited about by the NPD (N ationaldemokratische Partei Deutschlands). At the same time, how ever, all the political parties vying in the campaign, with the exception of the newly founded, less influentialDKP (the new German Commu nist Party), pay considerable deference to the political interests of the expellees in the German question. Whether these interests represent the opinion of most of the expellees and whether the expellee associ ations in fact speak for many voters is another matter. Why are these questions rarely posed? Why, despite the economic and social integration of the expellees, do the East German Home land Provincial Societies - the Landsmannschaften - retain much influence? The explanation of this phenomenon becomes increasingly clear if one reads the intelligent and superbly documented analysis by Hans Schoenberg.

Book Synopsis From Germany to the United States to Germany: Emigration and Remigration Between 1800 and 1914 by : Marco Froehlich
Download or read book From Germany to the United States to Germany: Emigration and Remigration Between 1800 and 1914 written by Marco Froehlich and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2008-03-25 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thesis (M.A.) from the year 2007 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 2,1, Technical University of Chemnitz, language: English, abstract: Gegenstand dieser Magisterarbeit ist die deutsche Auswanderung in die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika im Zeitraum von 1800 bis 1914. Eine Besonderheit stellt dabei sicherlich die Berücksichtigung der Rückwanderung nach Deutschland dar. Anders als in den meisten Werken zum Thema Auswanderung wird hier auf die Auswirkung der Erfahrungen, welche im Zielland gemacht wurden, im Hinblick auf die mögliche Entscheidung zur Rückkehr in die Heimat eingegangen. In der heutigen medialen Berichterstattung wird ein teilweise zu einseitiges, in jedem Falle aber ein zu romantisierendes Bild der Auswanderung als Abenteuer vermittelt. Der Prozess der Migration galt jedoch seit jeher nicht nur als Hoffnungsträger für ökonomisch, sozial, politisch oder religiös Benachteiligte und Unterdrückte. Für viele war und ist Auswanderung der letzte, quasi unausweichliche Ausweg aus einer inakzeptablen Existenz im Heimatland. Dass die transkontinentale Wanderung, speziell während der Ära der Massenwanderung im 19. Jahrhundert, mit zahlreichen Gefahren, Entbehrungen und Strapazen verbunden war, wird gern vergessen zu erwähnen. Diese Arbeit soll Aufschluss über die Schicksale von Auswanderern und den Akt dieser Migration geben, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf der Betrachtung der negativen Erfahrungen liegt.

Book Synopsis Coming Home to Germany? by : David Rock
Download or read book Coming Home to Germany? written by David Rock and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2002 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The end of World War II led to one of the most significant forced population transfers in history: the expulsion of over 12 million ethnic Germans from Central and Eastern Europe between 1945 and 1950 and the subsequent emigration of another four million in the second half of the twentieth century. Although unprecedented in its magnitude, conventional wisdom has it that the integration of refugees, expellees, and Aussiedler was a largely successful process in postwar Germany. While the achievements of the integration process are acknowledged, the volume also examines the difficulties encountered by ethnic Germans in the Federal Republic and analyses the shortcomings of dealing with this particular phenomenon of mass migration and its consequences.
Book Synopsis Reframing Migration, Diversity and the Arts by : Moritz Schramm
Download or read book Reframing Migration, Diversity and the Arts written by Moritz Schramm and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a compelling study of contemporary developments in European migration studies and the representation of migration in the arts and cultural institutions. It introduces scholars and students to the new concept of ‘postmigration’, offering a review of the origin of the concept (in Berlin) and how it has taken on a variety of meanings and works in different ways within different national, cultural and disciplinary contexts. The authors explore postmigrant theory in relation to the visual arts, theater, film and literature as well as the representation of migration and cultural diversity in cultural institutions, offering case studies of postmigrant analyses of contemporary works of art from Europe (mainly Denmark, Germany and Great Britain).
