The East German Writers Union and the Role of Literary Intellectuals In
Writing in Red: The East German Writers Union and the Role of Literary Intellectuals in the German Democratic Republic, 1971-90 Thomas William Goldstein A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: Konrad H. Jarausch Christopher Browning Chad Bryant Karen Hagemann Lloyd Kramer ©2010 Thomas William Goldstein ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract Thomas William Goldstein Writing in Red The East German Writers Union and the Role of Literary Intellectuals in the German Democratic Republic, 1971-90 (Under the direction of Konrad H. Jarausch) Since its creation in 1950 as a subsidiary of the Cultural League, the East German Writers Union embodied a fundamental tension, one that was never resolved during the course of its forty-year existence. The union served two masters – the state and its members – and as such, often found it difficult fulfilling the expectations of both. In this way, the union was an expression of a basic contradiction in the relationship between writers and the state: the ruling Socialist Unity Party (SED) demanded ideological compliance, yet these writers also claimed to be critical, engaged intellectuals. This dissertation examines how literary intellectuals and SED cultural officials contested and debated the differing and sometimes contradictory functions of the Writers Union and how each utilized it to shape relationships and identities within the literary community and beyond it. The union was a crucial site for constructing a group image for writers, both in terms of external characteristics (values and goals for participation in wider society) and internal characteristics (norms and acceptable behavioral patterns guiding interactions with other union members). -

East German Art and Cultural Politics: an Introduction by April A
East German Art and Cultural Politics: An Introduction By April A. Eisman 1 y On October 7, 1949, the Soviet Zone of Occupation in post-war Germany became the German Democratic r a r b i Republic (GDR, or East Germany). From the beginning, art played an important role in East Germany, where it L m l was viewed as a vital element in the development of the ‘all-around socialist personality.’ Artists were i F A F expected to create art that addressed the people, while the people were expected to be interested in art and E D e to explore their creative side. The form that this art was to take, however, was a source of frequent debate h t y b over the forty-year history of the GDR, and especially in the first two decades of the country’s existence. e s a Although many communist artists had embraced modernism during the Weimar Republic and were persecuted e l e R by the Nazis for both their political and aesthetic beliefs, the East German leadership often had difficulty D V D accepting modernist styles in these early years, in part because of the Soviet Union’s emphasis on a conser - A • vative style of socialist realism. Seeing similarities between the Soviets’ artistic style—one marked by opti - s t r o mism, monumentalism and a straightforward realism—and that of the Nazis, many East German artists, on h S x i the other hand, challenged its suitability for the GDR. The result was a cultural policy marked by freezes and S K R thaws depending on whose views—politicians’ or artists’—had the upper hand. -

Hans Grundig's Masterful
Martin Schmidt An Iconic Work of New Objectivity: Hans Grundig’s Masterful “Schüler mit roter Mütze” The artistic ethos of the painter Hans Grundig is reflected in his attempt to conjoin the sometimes one-dimensional worldview of politically informed art with a more universal human outlook. This is to say that in addition to his overriding preoccupation with the social conditions that prevailed during his turbulent times – particularly class conflicts –, he was nonetheless able to paint with a deeply felt lyricism. Without this aspect, his art would probably have come across as passionless and merely declamatory. And so we always find the human being as the key point of reference for his care and concern, not just ab- stract principles. A highly idiosyncratic way of looking at things shines through Grundig’s work, one that mixes naiveté with artifice, pro- clamation with lyricism, and that supercharges non-descript details with a deeply felt, magical poetry. Lea, the school friend who later became his wife and life’s companion, and whom he fondly referred to as his “silver one” in his memoirs, described him as “a dreamer and warrior rolled into one.” He wanted his art Karl Hubbuch. The schoolroom. 1925. Oil/cardboard and wood. Private Col- to have a social impact, of course. Yet he was also well aware that lection choosing the right side in class warfare, as demanded by the Ger- man Communist Party (KPD) and later by its East German succes- seems designed for titanic hands, assuming spatial logic is applied. Grundig evi- sor (SED), was an artistic dead end that usually produced less than dently is unconcerned about the plausibility of his center-line perspective. -

Jarausch Reader: Dr. Dirk Bönker Reader: Dr. Christopher Browning Reader: Dr. Karen Hagemann Reader: Dr. Donald Reid © 2010 Philipp Stelzel ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT PHILIPP STELZEL: Rethinking Modern German History: Critical Social History as a Transatlantic Enterprise, 1945-1989 (under the direction of Konrad H. Jarausch) My dissertation “Rethinking Modern German History: Critical Social History as a Transatlantic Enterprise, 1945-1989” analyzes the intellectual exchange between German and American historians from the end of World War II to the 1980s. Several factors fostered the development of this scholarly community: growing American interest in Germany (a result of both National Socialism and the Cold War); a small but increasingly influential cohort of émigré historians researching and teaching in the United States; and the appeal of American academia to West German historians of different generations, but primarily to those born between 1930 and 1940. Within this transatlantic intellectual community, I am particularly concerned with a group of West German social historians known as the “Bielefeld School” who proposed to re-conceptualize history as Historical Social Science (Historische Sozialwissenschaft). Adherents of Historical Social Science in the 1960s and early 1970s also strove for a critical analysis of the roots of National Socialism. Their challenge of the West German historical profession was therefore both interpretive and methodological. -
