German Division as Shared Experience: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on the Postwar Everyday

Katrin Schreiter (Editor), Erica Anne Carter (Editor), Jan Palmowski (Editor)

Research output: Book/ReportAnthologypeer-review

Abstract

The collection considers everyday life across the two Germanies, using perspectives from history, literary and cultural studies, anthropology and art history to explore how interconnections as well as fractures between East and West Germany after 1945 were experienced, lived and felt. Through its novel approach to historical method, the volume points to new understandings of the place of narrative, form and lived sensibility in shaping Germans’ simultaneously shared and separate experiences of belonging during forty years of division from 1945 to 1990.
