Special features of contemporary eastern German identity derive from a dual historical context consisting of the memory of life under state socialism and the memory and continuing experience of the FRG as reference culture. Various expressions of distinctive eastern German identity can be identified: the 'third way' socialism which originated with the 'peaceful revolution' of 1989; the 'Trotzidentitat' (identity of contrariness); 'Ostalgia' (nostalgia for the East Germany of the past) and 'Ossi' pride, a self-aware, positive response to the derisive western stereotype of the 'whingeing' easterner. The last form has the greatest potential to sustain itself as a live and lasting expression of separate easternness within a united Germany. -
Post-Gdr Memory—Cultural Discourses of Loss and Assertion in Reunified Germany
I POST-GDR MEMORY—CULTURAL DISCOURSES OF LOSS AND ASSERTION IN REUNIFIED GERMANY BY MOLLY REBECCA MARKIN DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in German in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Anke Pinkert, Chair Professor Mara R. Wade Professor Laurie R. Johnson Professor Yasemin Yildiz II Abstract When considering the blockage of a nuanced GDR memory within post-unification discourses, the historical moment of 1989 can be understood as a moment of loss for East Germans. While post-unification scholarship has addressed questions of GDR identity and generational memory in other post-1989 contexts, there is a surprising lack of scholarly work that discusses loss across different Eastern German generations that share the same historical moment of collapse and loss - 1989. In this dissertation, I divide the various Eastern German generational engagements with loss and assertion after 1989 into four chapters. Each generation forms a different discursive constellation: melancholic mourning: (Christa Wolf - chapter one), ambivalence (Lutz Rathenow and Thomas Brussig - chapter two), reappropriation (Jana Hensel and Jakob Hein - chapter three), and nostalgia/anti-nostalgia (Andrea Hanna Hünniger and the GDR museum - chapter four). Age and social position at the time of rupture fostered different perspectives regarding the experience of loss. My examination uses a case study approach to investigate -

Taking each author individually and analyzing the process of dealing with loss in their works to other generational approaches, new insights into post-GDR memory studies are provided. -
