  The essays in this collection offer a nuanced analysis of the multifaceted cultural experience of Central Europe under the late Habsburg monarchy and beyond. The authors examine how culturally coded social spaces can be described and understood historically without adopting categories formerly employed to justify the definition and separation of groups into nations, ethnicities, or homogeneous cultures. As we consider the issues of multiculturalism today, this volume offers new approaches to understanding multiculturalism in Central Europe freed of the effects of politically exploited concepts of social spaces.

  Visions and Divisions of Alsatian Regionalism, 1870-1939

  Fischer, C. J.

  The region of Alsace, located between the hereditary enemies of France and Germany, served as a trophy of war four times between 1870–1945. With each shift, French and German officials sought to win the allegiance of the local populace. In response to these pressures, Alsatians invoked regionalism—articulated as a political language, a cultural vision, and a community of identity—not only to define and defend their own interests against the nationalist claims of France and Germany, but also to push for social change, defend religious rights, and promote the status of the region within the larger national community.

  This volume addresses the tension between loud and often spectacular histories and those forgotten pasts we strain to hear. Employing social and cultural analysis, the essays within examine mnemonic technologies both new and old, and cover subjects as diverse as U.S. internment camps for Japanese Americans in WWII, the Canadian Indian Residential School system, Israeli memorial videos, and the desaparecidos in Argentina. Through these cases, the contributors argue for a re-interpretation of Guy Debord’s notion of the spectacle as a conceptual apparatus through which to examine the contemporary landscape of social memory, arguing that the concept of spectacle might be developed in an age seen as dissatisfied with the present, nervous about the future, and obsessed with the past.

  Fuentes Codera, M. & Dogliani, P. (eds)

  The cultural and political connections between Spain, Italy and Argentina developed complex transnational transfers over the course of two World Wars. Bringing together scholars from all three nations, Continental Transfers configures a multidirectional approach to the nations’ reciprocal exchange using new theoretical ground to understand the development links to the construction of national and supranational identities, such as Latinism and Hispanism.

  Objects and Imagination

  Perspectives on Materialization and Meaning

  Fuglerud, Ø. & Wainwright, L. (eds)

  Despite the wide interest in material culture, art, and aesthetics, few studies have considered them in light of the importance of the social imagination - the complex ways we conceptualize our social surroundings.

  Becoming East German

  Socialist Structures and Sensibilities after Hitler

  Fulbrook, M. & Port, A. I. (eds)

  “This is an excellent edited collection. It provides a range of methodological approaches and is right up to date: it introduces a number of new academics onto the scene while also providing some old favourites. The volume significantly adds to our understanding of East Germany and its population. It provides a reassessment of antifascism and memory... Port’s introduction and Fulbrook’s chapter on memory are masterful.”  ·  Mark Fenemore, Manchester Metropolitan University
