Das Erbe der Science-Fiction in der DDR; The Legacy of Science Fiction in the GDR
Sonja Fritzsche, Hardy Kettlitz, Elisabeth Schaber, Erik Simon, Karlheinz Steinmüller and Evan Torner talk about science fiction in the German Democratic Republic (GDR)
Rollenspiel als Missing Link der Fantastikgeschichte und -forschung
2024 marks the fiftieth anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons and the fortieth anniversary of The Dark Eye (Das Schwarze Auge), making it an ideal time to review the influence of role-playing games on the dissemination and shape of the fantastic as we know it today. This influence has been largely overlooked or ignored. The same is true the research into role-playing games, which has been scattered across a wide range of disciplines. This forum demon…
Comrades of Color: East Germany in the Cold War World
In keeping with the tenets of socialist internationalism, the political culture of the German Democratic Republic strongly emphasized solidarity with the non-white world: children sent telegrams to Angela Davis in prison, workers made contributions from their wages to relief efforts in Vietnam and Angola, and the deaths of Patrice Lumumba, Ho Chi Minh, and Martin Luther King, Jr. inspired public memorials. Despite their prominence, however, schol…

Gender and Sexuality in East German Film: Intimacy and Alienation
The cinema of the German Democratic Republic, that is, the cinema of its state-run studio DEFA, portrayed gender and sexuality in complex and contradictory ways. In doing so, it reflected the contradictions in GDR society in respect to such questions. This is the first scholarly collection in English or German to fully address the treatment of gender and sexuality in the productions of DEFA across genres (from shorts and feature films to educatio…
Volatile Intimacies and Queer Polyamory in GDR Film
IF THE MOVING IMAGE explores that which is visible, then the queer moving image exposes what is latent or understated within that visibility. As Alice Kuzniar writes regarding queer German cinema, “[it] provocatively plays upon what the eye can and cannot see... . [Q]ueer cinema is one of baroque display and theatricality that paradoxically hides as much as it reveals. It reminds its viewer that sexual difference is not always something they can …
Erzählte Entgrenzungen: Narrationen von Arbeit zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts
Von der Entgrenzung der Arbeit ist inzwischen allenthalben die Rede. Dass sich diese nicht auf die bislang untersuchten ökonomischen Aspekte begrenzen lässt, sondern sich auch in literarische Texte einschreibt, ist die Ausgangsthese dieser Untersuchung, die ein kultur- und literaturwissenschaftliches Beschreibungs- und Analysemodell entfaltet, mittels dessen das Phänomen in seiner Komplexität überhaupt erst fassbar wird. Dabei wird von einer Entg…
