Producing indefinite drafts of history
This paper seeks to explore to what degree revisionism and journalism interact in a European context. By looking at countries with troubled pasts, such as Greece and Spain, which are well into the European Union and also the euro-public sphere, and Kosovo, which uses European Integration as a framework to deal with its conflicting past, we aim to answer the crucial questions of what historical revisionism in journalistic productions is; how it em…
How Different Models of Media Regulation Address Social Inequality
The article employs a comparative textual analysis of key legal texts within German (democratic–corporatist) and UK (liberal) media regulation models to examine the relationship between mass media regulation and social inequality. The research addresses three key questions: firstly, how each model approaches different markers of inequality (such as gender, age, race, ethnicity, or religion); secondly, how regulation has evolved alongside changing…
Discourse, hegemony, and the public sphere
This article develops a model to explain the emergence and persistence of shared memory, providing a practical toolkit for empirical research in memory studies. It begins with a review of the concepts of individual and collective memory, highlighting their limitations. In response, the article introduces two alternative concepts – subjectivised memory and hegemonic memory – that capture the interdependence of individual and collective memory whil…
Where the Sun Rises in the East
This article uses qualitative discourse analysis to examine how the (post-)communist past is remembered in right-wing counter-publics. If memory serves the historical legitimation of the political order, its challengers would be expected to use this part of history to prove the legitimacy of an alternative order. The memory discourse of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) and German unity in the newspaper Junge Freiheit and the magazine Compact …
The perception and interpretation of conflicting mnemonic narratives
Every society is marked by memory gaps. Taking Poland and (East) Germany as examples, we use a social constructivist-poststructuralist approach and conduct focus groups and qualitative interviews to investigate how the communist past is remembered in private everyday discourse and its differentiation from the hegemonic public memory discourse. Both countries exhibit striking parallels in their everyday and hegemonic memory practices, but they dif…
The “digital village” revisited, or the re-ruralization of the public and private spheres in contemporary digitality
This article aims to make a theoretical contribution to clarify the societal impact of the reorganization of public and private in the digital age. Drawing on the spatial-sociological approach of German sociologist HP Bahrdt, the discussion is guided by the thesis that the specific dynamics of privacy risk attributed to the digital revolution pre-date the digitized age, specifically in rural environments. The analogy between rurality and digitali…
To remember or not to remember? The Germans, National Socialism, and the Holocaust – a typology
This article asks what role National Socialism and the Holocaust play in Germany's everyday discourse today. How does the population deal with this historical legacy, and how does it evaluate the hegemonic public commemoration of the National Socialist era, especially those parts of the population that do not want to remember it? Based on the concept of mnemonic hegemony and qualitative research, the article argues that National Socialism as a co…
From Being Aware to Going There
It does not always take a wall to deter migrants from irregular entry. Many countries rely on so-called migration management measures in aspiring migrants’ countries of origin, which also include (mass-)mediated awareness-raising campaigns. These are designed to educate prospective migrants about the dangers and challenges awaiting them en route and after arrival in the destination country. Such campaigns’ effectiveness has long been questioned. …
The gap between here and there
Set against the background of the so-called refugee crisis in Germany in 2015/16, this article asks about the subjective value that refugees give different sources of information and examines whether they were making informed decisions during the various stages of their transit. Between November 2015 and April 2016, four focus groups and 36 in-depth interviews were conducted with Syrian and Iraqi refugees, as well as interviews with Iraqi experts…
It is a crime to be abusive towards the president’
Using the case of the hybrid media system of Uganda and Schimank’s approach of agent-structure dynamics, this article argues that media freedom and journalists’ autonomy first and foremost depend on society’s expectations of the media system. Closely linked to those informal structures of expectations which are path and time dependent, journalists’ room for manoeuvre is limited by the resources allocated to individual and collective media actors.…
Radio France Internationale” and “Deutsche Welle” in Francophone Africa
For decades international radio broadcasters on the African continent were considered the tools of Western imperialism, ideological weapons in the Cold War. Yet international broadcasters also provided a crucial, alternative supply of information in times of state monopoly of the media and when there was a lack of freedom of expression. Over the past 20 years, the media have become more open and numerous in the countries of French-speaking Africa…
Auflagenmillionär im Propagandaland
Der Beitrag untersucht den Auflagenerfolg der DDR-Jugendzeitung Junge Welt: Wie und unter welchen Bedingungen können Medienangebote in zentral gelenkten und kontrollierten Mediensystemen die Bevölkerung erreichen? Gestützt auf Akten aus dem Bundesarchiv und der Stasi-Unterlagenbehörde, Zeitzeugeninterviews sowie qualitative und quantitative Inhaltsanalysen wird dabei gezeigt, dass die Ursachen für den Erfolg des Blattes auf jeder Stufe des Massen…
The totalitarian destruction of the public sphere?’ Newspapers and structures of public communication in socialist countries
Using the example of the former German Democratic Republic (GDR), this study deals with the public sphere in Eastern European countries before 1989. It supports the thesis that even the ‘guided’ and controlled daily press enabled the readers (even in a limited way) to observe the process of communication and to make up their own minds. The article is based on two main sources: files from the Federal archives in Berlin and a series of 100 biograph…
Journalists in the German Democratic Republic (Gdr)
The study explores the social background, career stations, working conditions and role-perceptions of journalists in East Germany before the wall came down. Drawing on Bourdieu's field theory as well as on interviews and memoirs, it uses 121 career paths to construct a collective biography of journalists. The findings show that journalism was, indeed, closely tied to the centre of power. The dominance of the first two generations of journalists w…
