Remembering Social Movements: Activism and Memory
Remembering Social Movements offers a comparative historical examination of the relations between social movements and collective memory. A detailed historiographical and theoretical review of the field introduces the reader to five key concepts to help guide analysis: repertoires of contention, historical events, generations, collective identities, and emotions. The book examines how social movements act to shape public memory as well as how mem…
Burdens of Eternity
The industrial past has become an inescapable and fundamental component of the identity of the Ruhr region. Throughout the twentieth century the Ruhr acquired a diverse public self-perception—incorporating multiculturalism, football, nationalism, urbanity, and nature—that was strongly imbued by images of the industrial past. Over recent decades, representations of the Ruhr’s industrial heritage have been driven by a desire to build the future of …
Historical Cultures of Labour Under Conditions of Deindustrialization, first conference of the European Labour History Network, Turin, 14–16 December 2016
Deindustrialization is a global phenomenon but its effects have been more intense in some regions than others. The post-industrial age as heralded by Daniel Bell and Alain Touraine is possibly yet to come, but the widespread historical transformations societies have faced already in the second half of the twentieth century, in the course of often localized deindustrialization processes, deserve further attention. The history of deindustrializatio…
Helmut Kohl's Quest for Normality: His Representation of the German Nation and Himself
During his political career, Helmut Kohl used his own life story to promote a normalization of German nationalism and to overcome the stigma of the Nazi period. In the context of the cold war and the memory of the fascist past, he was able to exploit the combination of his religious, generational, regional, and educational (he has a PhD in History) experiences by connecting nationalist ideas to particular biographical narratives. Kohl presented h…
Um imaginário pós-industrial? A popularização do patrimônio industrial no Ruhr e a representação de sua identidade regional
A representação da identidade regional na região do Ruhr, na Alemanha, assenta-se predominantemente no patrimônio industrial. Desde a década de 1960, ao longo da transição em curso da indústria pesada para um cenário pós-industrial, o Ruhr conheceu um movimento para preservar os objetos históricos associados à sua indústria de carvão e aço. Vindo de baixo, o movimento de defesa do patrimônio industrial tornou-se um fenômeno dominante no Ruhr. O p…
The Personal Nationalism of Helmut Kohl: A paragon of Germany’s new normality
IntroductionHelmut Kohl, the purported 'Chancellor of Unity', is a key figure in the history of German nationalism. During the Cold War era, when a German nation-state was territorially absent and society in the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) had developed a culture of Vergangenheitsbewaltigung, of trying to come to terms with the horrific Nazi past, Kohl's personal nationalism made up the quest to be a normal nation.1 After World War II, the …
A Romantic Nationalist: Helmut Kohl's Ethnocultural Representation of his Nation and Himself
This article analyzes the personal nationalism of Helmut Kohl, the so-called “Chancellor of Unity.” The German politician acted as a (neo)romantic nationalist, who articulated his concept of nation in cultural and ethnic terms and as primarily detached from the idea of the nation-state. This kind of nationalism has been portrayed as something typically German and dangerous, as part of the nation's cultural Sonderweg outside of the West, where nat…
