Abstract:
Die Studie analysiert die Funktion des Hörspiels als kulturelles Gedächtnismedium anhand der Erinnerungen an den Holocaust im Rundfunk der DDR. Im Vergleich zur bereits vielfach untersuchten Darstellung des Holocaust in anderen Medien werden erstmals die spezifischen ästhetischen Mittel des Hörspiels und die Rolle des Rundfunks als politisches Machtinstrument in der deutsch-deutschen Auseinandersetzung fokussiert. Auszüge aus den analysierten Hörspielen finden sich auf der beigegebenen Audio-CD.
Abstract:
This study investigates the function of the radio play asmedium of cultural memory, based on the memories of the holocaust found in the radio plays of the GDR. In comparison to the presentation of the holocaust in other media, which has already been explored various times, here for the first time the focus is on the specific aesthetic means of the radio play and the role of radio as political instrument of power in the FRG-GDR conflict. Extracts from the analyzed radio plays are included in the enclosed audio CD.
Abstract:
Review text: "This is an important book – and not just because it challenges received wisdoms about Holocaust memory in the GDR, at least as far as the treatment of the theme in GDR radio plays is concerned. Its other key value is its awareness of the need to differentiate between cultural modes of reception."Bill Niven in: http://hsozkult.geschichte.hu-berlin.de/rezensionen/id=14901
