I understand cultural memory as dynamic, multifaceted, and as a widely contestational interplay of past and present in socio-cultural contexts. The making of cultural memory involves various participants and allows us to examine the nexus between individual remembering and culturally mediated memory. Culturally mediated memory appears as a process of the representation and manifestation of the past in the present. By studying the mediality of ‘present pasts,’ we gain an understanding of how the past is remembered and how it is mediated via cultural objects in the present. -

Kirsner, Co-Chair Professor Olga Tsuneko Yokoyama, Co-Chair This dissertation critically compares the two German focus particles and . It has been repeatedly noted in the relevant literature that the two display an intriguing yet challenging near-synonymy. However, factors motivating this relationship have not been sufficiently explained to date. This study argues that the particles’ ostensible partial overlap is systematic and non-trivial in nature and that it can be explained by positing two distinct speaker motivations for uttering each particle to mark a constituent in a sentence: While the particle marks a constituent as conform-to-expectation, marks a constituent as counter-to- ii expectation. Each marking is prompted by the discourse situation: If there is (extra)linguistic evidence that the interlocutor is inclined to select the same constituent as the speaker for completing a sentence, then is the appropriate marker. -

The Language of Right-Wing Populism and Its Perception in Public Sphere
Unveröffentlichtes Manuskript eines Vortrags vom 31.10.15 am Humber College, Toronto/Canada. Unpublished manuscript of a lecture from 31.10.15 at Humber College, Toronto/Canada. The language of right-wing populism and its perception in public sphere. A linguistic and multimodal analysis of Pegida in German online media. Derya Gür-Şeker This paper presents results of a multimodal linguistic analysis of language usage in online media focusing on the Pegida movement in Germany. In October 2014 in the German city of Dresden the movement called Pegida arose,1 protesting not only an assumed Islamization of the so called “occident” but also criticizing the political establishment, specific political and societal issues concerning migration and integration. Some demands of Pegida are “the duty to integrate” and a “zero-tolerance policy against delinquent asylum seekers and migrants”2. Politicians and media actors were surprised by the large number of protesters which increased in size each week, from 350 participants in October 2014, 15,000 in December 2014 to 25,000 in January 2015.3 Topics such as “political disaffection”, “missing closeness of established politicians to the people” or “a missing interest in the problems of the people” were discussed in order to explain the success of Pegida in such a short time. On the one hand politicians preferred to talk with the Pegida organizers in order to promote a democratic debate. On the other hand there was also a rejection on the political side: “The SPD (Social Democratic Party of Germany) rejects, in the words of its General Secretary Yasmin Fahimi discussions with the Pegida organizers” (Frankfurter Rundschau, 19.01.15). -

DOI: https://doi.org/10.22599/ujpir.65 RESEARCH ARTICLE From Vergangenheitsbewältigung to Violence: Unravelling the Paradoxes of the German Extreme-Right Jack Kushner This paper seeks to understand the reasons for the German extreme-right’s successes and failures, particularly examining the inter-relations between political parties and underground movements. It also places a particular focus on German reunification, especially the wave of East German anti-immigrant and asylum seeker violence that emerged from 1991 to 1993. Furthermore, it argues that economic fac- tors are not enough to understand this and other subsequent German extreme-right violence, and that structural factors, such as police and intelligence inadequacies, as well as psychological factors are vital. The first section explores why xenophobic and anti-Semitic sentiments remained high in Germany despite extensive denazification, and the reasons for extreme-right party failures to exploit this. The second section examines why this sentiment has often been violently expressed. The third section looks at the relations between violent underground groups and political parties, concluding that these connections have ultimately weakened the German far-right. Keywords: Far-right; reunification; asylum; refugee; democracy; NPD; violence; racism Introduction failed to prevent extreme-right sentiment. I also wish to Despite extensive post war denazification, political understand the psychological explanations of the impact re-education and multiple party banning attempts, of the German Democratic Republic and reunification on extreme-right politics and associated violence remain a far-right violence, as economic factors are not enough challenging problem in reunified Germany. -

We find that due to Germany’s federal system, that there is not one reception system, but 16 different ones. Further, asylum procedure and reception governance are heavily interlinked and requires the cooperation and coordination of multiple actors, including non-state actors. Legislation passed in recent years, that allows for further differential treatment of asylum seekers by nationality will lead to further reception divergence, but one based on nationality. -
Recognising and Preventing Neo-Racism
http://assembly.coe.int Doc. 13809 08 June 2015 Recognising and preventing neo-racism Report1 Committee on Equality and Non-Discrimination Rapporteur: Ms Milena SANTERINI, Italy, Socialist Group Summary In Europe, we are witnessing a rising tide of racism, xenophobia and intolerance in various forms, which particularly affects immigrants, Muslims, Jews and Roma. At least two principal factors appear to have exacerbated this phenomenon: firstly, the economic crisis of recent years, and secondly, the geopolitical instability of certain countries in North Africa and the Middle East. Racism currently manifests itself in new forms and does not necessarily adhere to the concept of a hierarchy of “races”. What can be observed is often a “race-less racism” based on the premise that cultural differences are irreducible. Contemporary racism may be more subtle, but it is as pernicious as traditional racism, since its aim and effects are the same: it purports to explain and legitimise discriminatory types of behaviour or speech and helps to fuel them. Hate speech, increasingly widespread, especially in the political sphere and on the Internet, is also a reason for concern. Politicians should be aware of the effect of their words on public opinion and should refrain from using any forms of discriminatory, insulting or aggressive language about groups or categories of people. As racism is a complex phenomenon and entails multiple factors, the battle against it must be fought on multiple fronts. In addition to legal instruments designed to prohibit and punish all expressions of racism, including hate speech, we must fight intolerance using cultural and social instruments. -
Jahresbericht 2014 Sächsischer Landtag · 5
Jahresbericht 2014 Sächsischer Landtag · 5. Legislaturperiode Vorbemerkungen zum Sprachgebrauch Im Jahresbericht 2014 werden die Begriffe Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund, Migranten, Zuwanderer und Ausländer verwendet. Der Begriff »Migrationshintergrund« wurde erstmals im Mikrozensus1 des Statistischen Bundes amtes im Jahr 2005 benutzt und bezieht sich auf den gesamten Integrationsprozess, der meh rere Generationen umfassen kann. Damit sind nicht länger nur Aussagen über Menschen mit ausländischer Staatsangehörigkeit möglich. Zur Bevölkerung mit Migrationshintergrund zählen alle, die nach 1949 auf das heutige Gebiet der Bundesrepublik Deutschland zugezogen sind, alle in Deutschland geborenen Ausländer/innen und alle in Deutschland mit deutscher Staatsan gehörigkeit Geborene mit zumindest einem zugezogenen oder als Ausländer in Deutschland geborenen Elternteil. »Migranten« sind Personen mit Migrationshintergrund, die selbst zugewandert sind. Der Begriff »Zuwanderer« wird synonym zum Begriff »Migrant« verwendet, betont aber stärker, dass die Zuwanderung gerade erfolgt ist oder zukünftig erfolgen wird. Der Begriff »Ausländer« wird vor allem in rechtlicher und statistischer Hinsicht verwendet und bezieht sich auf die Menschen, die nicht die deutsche Staatsangehörigkeit haben. Der Jahresbericht 2014 kann überwiegend nur etwas zu Ausländern aussagen, weil das Statis tische Landesamt des Freistaates Sachsen außer für den Bereich der Schulbildung noch nicht über Zahlen zu allen Personen mit Migrationshintergrund verfügt. Soweit in diesem Bericht die männliche Form gebraucht wird, werden Männer und Frauen in gleicher Weise angesprochen. Bei den Themen Asyl und Flucht werden in anderen Veröffentlichungen unterschiedliche Be griffe (zum Beispiel Asylsuchende, Asylbegehrende, Asylbewerber, Personen mit Asylstatus, Flüchtlinge) verwendet. Erläuterungen dazu gibt das Glossar im Anhang. 1 Statistisches Bundesamt: Migration & Integration Methodische Erläuterungen www.destatis.de.
