Condición: Gut. X, 246 Seiten / p. Mängelstrich auf Kopfschnitt, ansonsten tadelloser Zustand / Defect line on head edge, otherwise impeccable condition - This book deals with the national identity of the Germans. As a consequence of German unification, and in the midst of a renaissance of national movements in eastern and central Europe, the issue has gained a currency that sophisticated academic research often finds suspect. The present study establishes a necessary distance from the simply current - not merely because it arrives at the present only after a journey through the past, but also, and primarily, because the origins of national identity are reconstructed here within an explicit theoretical framework. This sort of theoretical framework may seem rather elaborate for historical material -and those uncomfortable with theory should proceed directly to chapter 2 - but it provides the possibility of comparison, and places the rise of German identity in the context of general problems of Modernity. Our examination therefore begins with an overview of various scholarly perspectives on the issue of "nation" as such; and the following chapter constitutes a general theoretical essay on the construction of collective identity.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. This book proposes a theory of collective and national identity based on culture and language rather than power and politics. Applying this to what he calls Germany's 'axial age', Bernhard Giesen shows how the codes of nineteenth-century German identity in turn became those of the divided Germany between 1945 and 1989. The identity he describes derives from the ideas of German intellectuals, from the uprooted Romantic poets to the influential German mandarins. Carried by the emerging bourgeoisie, it was constructed on the tensions between power and spirit, money and culture, and the sacred and profane. Cultural theory of national identity, and study of nineteenth-century and post-war German identity formation.
