Book Identity  Dissatisfaction and Political Activity   The Experience of East German Women Since Unification

Download or read book Identity Dissatisfaction and Political Activity The Experience of East German Women Since Unification written by Debbie Wagener and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2011-03-15 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2002 in the subject Sociology - Political Sociology, Majorities, Minorities, grade: "bestanden", University of Birmingham, language: English, abstract: Diese Arbeit ist eine Forschungsarbeit über die Wirkungen der Integration ostdeutscher Frauen im wiedervereinigten Deutschland. Sie untersucht die Unterschiede der Erfahrungen von ostdeutschen und westdeutschen Frauen, und ob dies zu Unterschieden der feministischen Werte und Erwartungen geführt hat. Sie untersucht auch inwieweit ostdeutsche Frauen eine Änderung in ihrer gesellschaftlichen Position beobachtet haben, und insbesondere inwieweit sie sich zum Nachteil ausgewirkt hat. Sie stellt die Hypothese auf, daß die potentielle Unzufriedenheit mit dem neuen Status dazu führen könnte, daß ostdeutsche Frauen eine bedeutende Rolle in der Entwicklung der Frauenpolitik, insbesondere der Beschäftigungspolitik einnehmen werden. Die Feldstudie konzentriert sich von daher sowohl auf Anzeichen der Unzufriedenheit unter ostdeutschen Frauen als auch die politischen Ziele, Aktivitäten und der Einflußbereich von Frauengruppen.

Book Finnegans Wake

Download or read book Finnegans Wake written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-11-15 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a collection by diverse hands on the thematic, conceptual and contextual impact of time in and around Joyce's Finnegans Wake. In keeping with the practice of the Zürich James Joyce Foundation workshops, from one of which, over Easter 1992, the collection developed, many essays emphasize the local temporal textures of Finnegans Wake through close readings of individual passages. However, this does not preclude fruitful interaction with wider contexts and theoretical concerns. Two articles are detailed studies of social and political contemporary contexts with which Joyce's last work was in dialogue. Three more explore philosophical, psychological and scientific theories of time which Joyce exploited and transformed in his text. Two essays relate Finnegans Wake to discussions of time in French feminist and deconstructive theory: and finally, four essays concentrate on the temporality of composition - two apiece on each of the chronology of Joyce's early note-taking and draft processes. The collection should prove interesting to all readers and critics of Joyce as well as to critics concerned with the problem of historicizing and contextualising the temporally disruptive texts of high modernism and early postmodernism.

  • Author : Elizabeth A. Ten Dyke
  • Publisher : Routledge
  • Release : 2014-05-22
  • ISBN : 1136466347
  • Pages : 341 pages

Download or read book Dresden written by Elizabeth A. Ten Dyke and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-22 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collapse of the German Democratic Republic prompted the East Germans to confront their personal, cultural and international past. This study of the 'Wende' - the turn of events in 1989 - is based on ethnographic and anthropological research conducted in the early 1990s. Liz Ten Dyke has developed a finely nuanced portrait of the city and its residents as they were caught up in the economic, political and social turmoil that characterized the immediate post-socialist period. By weaving together scholarly research, oral history, and "ethnographic excursions" or narratives of salient experiences, this book makes an important contribution to the study of social aspects of the past. Moving beyond paradigms presently shaping the study of memory, it details the paradoxes and contradictions inherent in remembering, making manifest the link between such contradictions and larger symbolic and political-economic contexts. In this way, the author situates the study of memory in history and shows that it is the mutability of memory, in conjuction with the uncertainty of history, that render the past a dynamic and powerful force in human society.

Book Complicity  Censorship and Criticism

Download or read book Complicity Censorship and Criticism written by Sara Jones and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011-06-30 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study develops an interdisciplinary approach to the analysis of the cultural history of the German Democratic Republic, examining the interaction between intellectuals and Party functionaries from a literary and historical perspective. Divided into three case studies, the work focuses on writers positioned along a spectrum of conformity and dissent and who had quite different relationships to political power: Hermann Kant, Stefan Heym and Elfriede Brüning. Drawing on and comparing unpublished archive material, autobiography and the literary output of the three named writers, this study brings to the fore the ambiguities and contradictions of intellectual life in the GDR. Tensions between the different sources point towards tensions inherent in the subject positions of writers, publishers, reviewers and cultural authorities. This granular approach to the study of GDR cultural history challenges top-down interpretations and builds into a theoretical understanding of GDR cultural life based on the concepts of ambiguity and ambivalence and the increasing fragmentation of ideology. Comparison with other spheres of GDR life points towards the significance of these concepts for the study of East German society as a whole.
