Book Description
Using Nietzsche's categories of monumentalist, antiquarian and critical history, the author examines the historical and theoretical contexts of the collapse of the GDR in 1989 and looks at the positive and negative legacies of the GDR for the PDS (the successor party to the East German Communists). He contends that the Stalinization of the GDR itself was the product not just of the Cold War but of a longer inter-systemic struggle between the competing primacies of politics and economics and that the end of the GDR has to be seen as a consequence of the global collapse of the social imperative under the pressure of the re-emergence of the market-state since the mid-1970s. The PDS is therefore stuck in dilemma in which any attempt to "arrive in the Federal Republic" (Brie) is criticized as a readiness to accept the dominance of the market over society whereas any attempt to prioritize social imperatives over the market is attacked as a form of unreconstructed Stalinism. The book offers some suggestions as to how to escape from this dilemma by returning to the critical rather than monumentalist and antiquarian traditions of the workers’ movement.

The Notion of Turning in Metaphysical Poetry
Author: Carmen DörgePublisher: LIT Verlag Münster
ISBN: 3643909918
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
In "Metaphysical Poetry", there is an emphasis on religious experience, which often touches on diverse kinds of turning. Among them are religious conversion (a turn to God), spatial movement (turning in space), divine transformation (turning from one kind into another), musical tuning (turning as a requisite for harmony) and circular turning. Moreover, there is a strong link between turning and its realisation through the language of the poems. Focusing on John Donne and George Herbert, this study explores various aspects of turning, as well as their interrelation. Dissertation.

A very risky escape from the DDR
Author: Dietmar DresselPublisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 3753425133
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 394
Book Description
The GDR in the seventies. Many leading politicians live in luxury. The Stasi and the police with the appropriate facilities ensure fear, terror and violence, worse than the inquisition in the middle Ages. Denunciation of people among one another flourishes in all colors, the mass of the people makes unrestrained use of the national wealth and increasingly refuses to work. Two young people fall in love and want to spend their life together in a country where they are free from political constraints. What the two have to experience and suffer on this very dangerous path is hell and horror itself.

Germany on the Road to Normalcy
Author: W. ReutterPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 1403981477
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
Many thought that the 'German question', that had shaped European history so catastrophically in the last century, had been solved for good in 1990. And the last elections seemed to confirm that Germany was on the road to 'normalcy'. However, at the beginning of the new century, many see Germany as a problem case in Europe. This raises the question about the future of Germany and the performance of the incumbent government. The book addresses these issues by examining the policies and politics of the Red-Green government and by putting recent changes and developments in this country in a long-term perspective.
