Volume Editor:
Against the backdrop of an insurgent far right and numerous deadly neo-Nazi attacks, various cultural practitioners have written far-right violence into Germany’s collective memory and imagined more inclusive futures in its wake. This volume explores contemporary examples from literature, music, theatre, film, television and art that respond to this situation. They demonstrate that, alongside the ways in which art expands the public sphere in terms of what is said and who is heard, aesthetic questions of how artistic works are presented are a crucial part of how they open up new perspectives.
Joseph Twist, Ph.D. (2015), University of Manchester, is a lecturer in German at University College Dublin. His research focuses on minority German culture, adopting a theoretical approach to questions of community, subjectivity, identity and spirituality.
Written for a bilingual academic readership, this book will be of interest for researchers of contemporary German culture, culture and politics, and anti-racist art.
