The de-industrializing city in the UK and Germany
When the Coventry-based band The Specials released their single 'Ghost Town' in June 1981, they appeared to be giving stark expression to a broader sense of crisis that characterized Britain's urban environment in the early Thatcher years.The song's invocation of urban decay, social dislocation and violence, juxtaposed to a romanticized past of 'good old days in a de boomtown', struck a chord with contemporary audiences. 1It provided a fitting so…
That rather sinful city of London
The article proceeds from the observation that in the contemporary British cultural imagination, the figure of the coal miner tends to be presented as the embodiment of anti-urban and organicist qualities that in continental Europe are more commonly associated with the peasantry. Drawing on the theoretical insights of Raymond Williams, the article traces the genealogy of this 'structure of feeling' back to the time of the miners' strike of 1984/8…
Tony Joel, The Dresden Firebombing
Like being on death row
The introduction draws on the work of Raymond Williams to identify the 'structures of feeling' that surround the figure of the coal miner in contemporary British culture. As an analysis of the media coverage of the closure of the UK's last deep-coal mine in December 2015 demonstrates, mine workers were cast as 'residual proletarians' whose modes of being and consciousness were portrayed as both admirable and pitifully out of date. The introductio…
Vom Verlierer zum Gewinner – und zurück
This article traces the cyclical trajectory of the British coal miner from the mid-1960s to the mid-1980s.Within less than one generation, the miner turned from doomed industrial proletarian to self-assured embodiment of the future back to doomed proletarian. The renaissance of King Coal in the 1970s proved short-lived, and yet it needs to be taken seriously if one is to understand the nature of the coal strike of 1984/85 and the rundown of the i…
Anniversaries
The hundredth anniversary of the outbreak of the First World War is only the first of a large number of major European historical anniversaries that will occur in the coming four years. Other twentieth-century anniversaries include that of the Russian Revolution and the Easter Uprising; notable corollaries from earlier centuries include the Battle of Bannockburn, the Hanoverian succession, the Battle of Waterloo and, perhaps most significant of a…
The Allied Air War and Urban Memory
The cultural legacy of the air war on Germany is explored in this comparative study of two bombed cities from different sides of the subsequently divided nation. Contrary to what is often assumed, Allied bombing left a lasting imprint on German society, spawning vibrant memory cultures that can be traced from the 1940s to the present. While the death of half a million civilians and the destruction of much of Germany's urban landscape provided 'us…
Allied Air War and Urban Memory
The German Border Guard Cases before the European Court of Human Rights
Regime Change, State Crime and Transitional Justice
In an initial summing up of this necessarily abbreviated and cursory report of findings, the first thing to recognise is that the countries examined in the study accorded different significance to the criminal law as a means for dealing with the past. The Eastern European countries, at any rate, appear to be largely in agreement with regard to the role of rehabilitation and compensation, although more comparative research into their realization i…
