Creole Soul: Zydeco Lives
Most previous book-length studies of zydeco have focused mainly on Southwest Louisiana. It is, after all, the place where Black Creole musicians initially syncretized elements of Afro-Caribbean polyrhythms, Cajun French repertoire, and early blues into their own blend of folk music, an accordion-based form first commonly called la-la. In particular, Louisiana-based authors—such as Michael Tisserand in The Kingdom of Zydeco (1998) and Ben Sandmel …

Testimony and its Mediations in Life Writing
The following analysis looks at current discussions surrounding testimony in the form of life writing. In particular it looks at how competing theories of mediation fare when applied to concrete examples of testimony as it is shaped by its authors and re-presented by its users, and it examines how the concepts of dominant narratives and the subjective experience impact on individual testimony’s form and status. Dominant narratives are demonstrabl…
The Referential and the Relational: Victor Klemperer's Diaries in the Nazi Years
To what extent do Victor Klemperer's diaries from the years of Nazi rule in Germany have referential value for conveying factual detail about how a German who has been classified as Jewish survived anti-Semitism and the war, and to what extent does their significance lie in their relationality, i.e. their accounts of the interactions Klemperer has with those around him? Against the background of Aleida Assmann's ideas on the limits of ‘positivist…
Walter Kempowski's Das Echolot. Abgesang ’45 From Archive to Print
This article analyses Das Echolot. Abgesang ’45 , the final volume of Walter Kempowski's ten‐volume ‘collective diary’ of the Second World War, against the background of recent theoretical discussions about the subjective experience of history and the juxtaposition of homogenised and heterogeneous forms of memory. It also goes into Kempowski's archive of autobiographical material, now held at the Akademie der Künste in Berlin, in order to compare…
Ruth Klüger, Autobiography and Remembering the Holocaust
Recent debates among cultural studies specialists and historians on subjectivity in autobiography provide the background to an analysis of Ruth Klüger's accounts of her years in concentration camps and her post‐war experiences in the USA, Germany and Austria. These accounts are characterised by complexity and contradiction, but throughout her work she insists on the primacy of the individual experience and opposes an approach in academic research…
This new theory of war is nothing but an uninhibited transfer of the principle of art for art's sake to war: Ernst Jnger, Walter Benjamin, and the New Right
Walter Benjamin's reception of Ernst Jnger and the new nationalists grouped around him during the years of the Weimar Republic is notable for establishing a link between their aestheticization of the war experience and Germany's military defeat. Benjamin's interpretation can also be extended to the new nationalist politics in the 1920s: the failed attempt to work out a programme which would reconcile the forces of nationalism and socialism gives …
This isn't very typical I'm afraid’: Observing community care complaints procedures
The new complaints procedures which local authority social services departments have been required to introduce represent an important mechanism for managing the change of culture associated with recent community care reforms. They also represent a new genre in mechanisms of redress for welfare recipients. This paper reports the findings of a study which has observed considerable diversity in the ways in which local authorities are interpreting t…
Affirmative Past Versus Cultural Pessimism: The New Right Since German Unification1
Whereas the New Right in Germany is generally defined as a political movement with a more or less coherent set of beliefs and goals, the movement also has a strong cultural dimension arising from its commitment to gaining what Gramsci refers to as cultural hegemony, i.e. acceptance in the pre-political sphere. The cultural dimension of the New Right was intended to provide the political movement with its intellectual foundations, but in practice …
