Bleibt der Osten anders?
In the organizer's words:
About coming to terms with a past that is not past - and its consequences for the present:
Sociologist Steffen Mau, whose recently published book "Ungleich vereint" (Unequally United) is causing debate following the European elections, brings Charlotte Gneuß ("Gittersee") and Matthias Jügler ("Maifliegenzeit") into conversation about coming to terms with a past that is not past - and its consequences for the present.
Steffen Mau, Charlotte Gneuß and Matthias Jügler discuss literature, mentality and identity at the end of LIT:potsdam 2024.
In view of the outcome of the European elections and the voting behavior of young voters in the eastern German states, the questions become particularly urgent.
Who is allowed to talk about the GDR and how? Is the availability of East German contemporary history a protected area? Do authors have to prove their entitlement to deal with this material through birth and socialization, or can they dispose of it just as freely as Daniel Kehlmann does with the period of the Thirty Years' War?
