  • Virtual Germans
    Berlin Program for Advanced German & European Studies Berlin Program Summer Workshop Virtual Germans June 19-20, 2014 Freie Universität Berlin Preliminary Program In her travels through Eastern Europe in the 1990s, the writer Ruth Ellen Gruber noted that non-Jews were embracing, creating, and marketing an idea of Jewishness that had little to do with the Jews who had lived in the region before the Holocaust. Through practices and cultural products, these “virtual Jews” had come in dialog with “their own visions of Jews and Jewish matters, and themselves.” In recent years, the historian Winson Chu has adapted this concept to show the enactment of a “virtually German” culture that serves commercial interests, European reconciliation, and cosmopolitan credentials in Poland today. In 2014, the Berlin Program summer workshop will invite papers that expand upon the idea of “virtual Germans” in a variety of constellations, including Germans and German-speakers who have fashioned new identities for themselves abroad, people living in Germany of diverse backgrounds whose German belonging is contested, as well as constructions of Germanness in the virtual realm of cyberspace and in the classroom. This workshop will pay special attention to the global flow of “Germanness” as well as to its local constructions. By exploring such representations and contestations, we can see how new definitions of Germanness arise and how new inclusions and exclusions are made.

Digital German-Jewish Futures: Experiential Learning, Activism, and Entertainment. Abstract The future of the German-Jewish past is, in a word, digital, and not only in the sense of digital humanities or digital history. Future generations of scholars, students, and the general public will engage with the past online in the same ways—and for many of the same reasons—that they engage with everything else. There needs to be something redeeming, enjoyable, or at least memorable about studying history for people to feel that it is worthwhile. For many, the act of learning about the past serves as a kind of virtual travel, even an escape, to another time and place. Learning about German-Jewish history becomes possible on a regular basis when it is easily accessible through the newest media on computers, cell phones, and other electronic devices.

  • Libeskind's Jewish Museum Berlin
    Encountering empty architecture: Libeskind’s Jewish Museum Berlin Henrik Reeh Preamble In Art Is Not What You Think It Is, Claire Farago and Donald Preziosi observe how the architecture of contemporary museums inspires active relationships between exhibitions and visitors.1 Referring to the 2006 Denver Art Museum by Daniel Libeskind, they show the potentials germinating in a particular building. When artists and curators are invited to dialog with the spaces of this museum, situations of art-in-architecture may occur which go beyond the ordinary confrontation of exhibitions and spectatorship, works and visitors. Libeskind’s museum is no neutral frame in the modernist tradition of the white cube, but a heterogeneous spatiality. These considerations by Farago and Preziosi recall the encounter with earlier museums by Libeskind. Decisive experiences particularly date back to the year 1999 when his Jewish Museum Berlin was complete as a building, long before being inaugurated as an exhibition hall in 2001. Open to the public for guided tours in the meantime, the empty museum was visited by several hundred thousand people who turned a peripheral frame of future exhibitions into the center of their sensory and mental attention. Yet, the Libeskind building was less an object of contemplation than the occasion for an intense exploration of and in space. Confirming modernity’s close connection between exhibition and architecture, Libeskind’s Jewish Museum Berlin unfolds as a strangely dynamic and fragmented process, the moments of which call for elaboration and reflection. I. Architecture/exhibition Throughout modernity, exhibitions and architecture develop in a remarkably close relationship to one another.

  • National Museums in Germany: Anchoring Competing Communities Peter Aronsson & Emma Bentz
    Building National Museums in Europe 1750-2010. Conference proceedings from EuNaMus, European National Museums: Identity Politics, the Uses of the Past and the European Citizen, Bologna 28-30 April 2011. Peter Aronsson & Gabriella Elgenius (eds) EuNaMus Report No 1. Published by Linköping University Electronic Press: http://www.ep.liu.se/ecp_home/index.en.aspx?issue=064 © The Author. National Museums in Germany: Anchoring Competing Communities Peter Aronsson & Emma Bentz Summary From 1760-2010, Germany has been marked by several levels of nation-building as well as many different ideological and territorial projects. This inquiry has focused on processes of long continuity, spanning unification in both the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, adding the most important ruptures and institutional inventions to get a firm-enough basis for conclusions on the institutional role of museums vis-a-vis the state-making process. The most significant periods for the interaction between museums and nation-building can be labelled 1. The struggle, leading to Germany’s unification in 1871, where several regions made their bids through museums. 2. Imperial unity on display from 1871-1914. National museums were stabilizing and universalizing the German Empire in the world. 3. Nazi cultural policy, 1933-1945: Comprehensive museum plans for the Third Reich. 4. GDR (German Democratic Republic) national museums between 1949-1990 were dominated by the ideology of socialist culture. 5. The Federal republic, before and after 1990: inscribing Nazi and GDR as pasts contained within brackets. Germany’s history is marked by the processes of unification meeting dissociative forces resulting in dramatic political shifts and the persistence of a complex federal structure.

Day 2 /Thu - May 27 Berlin (Breakfast Lunch) (9 am–4 pm)Today we have a pri- vate introduction to Germany’s most multifaceted city. Berlin was once the resi- dence of the Hohenzollern, capital of the German Empire and of German Democratic Republic (DDR), Weimar Republic and the Third Reich. Following the end of the dic- tatorship of terror, the old Nazi center of power was occupied by Allied Forces and divided into 4 zones. Nowhere in the world are the consequences of the politics of the Cold War as clearly visible as in Berlin. From 1961 to 1989, the East and West were divided by a wall. After the fall of the wall and the reunification Germany, Berlin became the capital again. On this first day we visit the government district with Parliament and Chancellery.

  • Re-Thinking the Remembrance of the Holocaust in Germany
    Making National Museums Rethinking the Remembrance of the Holocaust in German National Museums and Memorials as Agents for Positive Social Change? Anna Chrusciel Department of Cultural Policy, University of Hildesheim, Germany [email protected] By taking Berlin as an example, this paper will focus on questions of commemorating and representing history of the Holοcaust as a constructive process that is strongly connected to the circumstances of the present. It will question the social role of National Museums in Germany by presenting different examples, which respond directly to the German Government's ambition of encouraging civil courage and democracy. By presenting examples of smaller, more biographical National Museums like the Museum Workshop for the Blind that focus on the resistance to National Socialism by using authentic places and telling one individual story, the paper will question and re-think the role of National Museums and their possible impact on positive social and global changes with respect specifically to the German identity-finding process. Due to the fact that the Holocaust is not the focus of my PhD research, I will draw upon my experiences in working in the Jewish Museum Berlin for four years. Then, rather than presenting results, the paper will conclude with open questions for further discussion. 69 National Consciousness in Germany The word ” national“ in a German context today is still associated for many, but especially for the German themselves, with images of the darkest side of recent German history- the Holocaust. A feeling of guilt towards the Second World War has, in a sense, repressed the official development of a National Identity in Germany.
