Rereading East Germany: Literauture and film in the GDR

This volume is the first to address the culture of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) as a historical entity, but also to trace the afterlife of East Germany in the decades since the fall of the Berlin Wall. It provides a ‘rereading’ of East Germany and its legacy as a cultural phenomenon free from the prejudices that prevailed while it existed.

Join us for a sandwich lunch from 12:30, with discussion from 13:00 to 14:00.
