Description
Assesses the post-war transformation of German studies from 1945-1995. Essays address the intersecting problems of nationalism and antisemitism in modern and contemporary Germany; innovative views on the hybrid state of German cultural production and the German "Other"; and insights into the apparently "forbidden" areas of artistic creation after Adorno's initial anti-graven image dictum in the face of Shoah atrocities. The authors also explore German literature and literary studies as international vehicles for reflection on the Holocaust and for the ongoing renewal of national identities.
