Re-forming the Nation in Literature and Film - Entwuerfe zur Nation in Literatur und Film
The Patriotic Idea in Contemporary German-Language Culture- Die patriotische Idee in der deutschsprachigen Kultur der Gegenwart
Samenvatting
Addresses whether the collective entity known as Germany should more properly be conflated with the Federal Republic, with its successful sixty-five-year history ('the best Germany we have ever had'), rather than the 'nation' with all its tainted connotations and corrupted concepts such as 'Vaterland'.
