Sommario/riassunto

Diese Anthologie bietet eine Vielzahl von Perspektiven zum Thema "Deutsche Vereinigung". Behandelt werden literarische, autobiographische und journalistische Auseinandersetzungen sowie Essays über Film und Theater. Die Vereinigung beider deutscher Staaten änderte sowohl die geopolitischen als auch die wirtschaftlichen, sozialen und kulturellen Grenzen Deutschlands und Europas. Der vorliegende Band untersucht in drei Teilen die Reaktionen ost- und westdeutscher Schriftsteller und Regisseure auf diese Umbrüche: in fiktiven, autobiographischen/journalistischen und in filmischen Texten. Die besprochenen Autoren und Regisseure nehmen Stellung nicht nur zu den Änderungen, die sie in ihrer Umgebung erlebten, sondern geben auch Auskunft über ihr verändertes Verhältnis zu ihrer Vergangenheit im geteilten Deutschland.

The unification of the two German states changed the geo-political, economic, social, and cultural borders of Germany and Europe. This volume in three parts researches how East German and West German authors and directors reacted to these radical changes. The basis of this research are fictional, autobiographical, journalistic, and cinematic texts. The authors and directors presented in this volume not only comment on the changes which they themselves experienced but also voice their changing attitudes to their own past within the divided Germany.

Sommario/riassunto

"This book examines the mobilization, role, and trajectory of women rescuers and perpetrators during the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. While much has been written about the victimization of women during the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, very little has been said about women who rescued targeted victims or perpetrated crimes against humanity. This book explores and analyzes the role played by women who exercised agency as rescuers and as perpetrators during the genocide in Rwanda. As women, they took actions and decisions within the context of a deeply entrenched patriarchal system that limited their choices. This work examines two diverging paths of women's agency during this



period: to rescue from genocide or to perpetrate genocide. It seeks to answer three questions: First, how were certain Rwandan women mobilized to participate in genocide, and by whom? Second, what were the specific actions of women during this period of violence and upheaval? Finally, what were the trajectories of women rescuers and perpetrators after the genocide? Comparing and contrasting how women rescuers and perpetrators were mobilized, the actions they undertook, and their post-genocide trajectories, and concluding with a broader discussion of the long-term impact of ignoring these women, this book develops a more nuanced and holistic view of women's agency and the genocide in Rwanda.This book will be of much interest to students of gender studies, genocide studies, African politics and critical security studies."--Provided by publisher.
