Amie Siegel's Video Installation; Section III. Remembering Heimat : Memory Sites -- Taboos -- Ghosts; Ostalgie, Local Identity, and the Quest for Heimat in the Global Age: Julia Schoch's Mit der Geschwindigkeit des Sommers and Judith Zander's Dinge, die wir heute sagten; "Mein Problem ist das Kontinuum": Heimat als dynamischer Gedächtnisraum im Werk Franz Fühmanns; Geisterlandschaften: The Memory of Heimat in Recent Berlin School Films.

Summary: The concept of Heimat with its seemingly pre- or anti-modern connotations of rootedness in a place of origin is central to a critical understanding of German history and culture. This anthology is the first to examine cultural manifestations of Heimat by giving special consideration to issues of memory and space. The contributions to this volume challenge static notions of place often associated with Heimat. Instead, they explore the social and cultural production of places of belonging as they emerge in literary and visual narratives ranging from 1800 to 2000 and beyond.
