From Europe to South Africa and from Latin America to Iraq, scholars have studied the German case to learn how to overcome internal division and regain international recognition. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eIn Pursuit of German Memory: History, Television, and Politics after Auschwitz\u003c\/i\u003e examines three arenas of German memory politics-professional historiography, national politics, and national public television-that have played key roles in the reinvention of the Nazi past in the last sixty years. Wulf Kansteiner shows that the interpretations of the past proposed by historians, politicians, and television producers reflect political and generational divisions and an extraordinary concern for Germany's image abroad. At the same time, each of these theaters of memory has developed its own dynamics and formats of historical reflection. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Kansteiner's analysis of the German scene reveals a complex social geography of collective memory. \u003ci\u003eIn Pursuit of German Memory\u003c\/i\u003e underscores the fact that German memories of Nazism, like many other collective memories, combine two seemingly contradictory qualities: They are highly mediated and part of a global exchange of images and story fragments but, at the same time, they can be reproduced only locally, in narrowly circumscribed networks of communication.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWulf Kansteiner\u003c\/b\u003e is an assistant professor of history and the director of graduate studies at the Binghamton University of the State University of New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 450\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.31 x 9 x 6.36 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 15, 2006\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42130353946759,"sku":"9780821416396","price":63.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/e8115568fae2b8befb24fa3f0548c9a8.webp?v=1732610163","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/in-pursuit-of-german-memory-history-television-and-politics-after-auschwitz-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
