Focusing on the resurgence of family stories in fiction, autobiography and in film, this study challenges the institutional boundaries of Germany's memory culture that have guided and arguably limited German identity debates. Essays on contemporary German literature are complemented by explorations of heritage films and museum discourse. Together these essays put forward a compelling theory of family narratives and a critical evaluation of generational discourse.New perspectives in German studies.German literature20th centuryHistory and criticismMotion pictures, GermanHistoryCollective memoryGermanyFirst person narrativeHistory and criticismDiscourse analysisGermanyGerman literatureHistory and criticism.Motion pictures, GermanHistory.Collective memoryFirst person narrativeHistory and criticism.Discourse analysis830.9/3581Fuchs Anne737518MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809249703321Phantoms of war in contemporary German literature, films and discourse4196064UNINA
