Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
Social injustice dilemmas such as poverty, unemployment, and racism are subjects of
continuing debate in European societies and in Germany in particular, as solutions
are difficult and progress often comes slowly. Such discussions are not limited to
opposing newspaper editorials, position papers, or legislative forums, however; creative
works expound on these topics as well, but their contributions to the debate are often
marginalized. This collection of new essays explores how contemporary German-language
literary, dramatic, filmic, musical, and street artists are grappling with social
justice issues that affect Germany and the wider world, surveying more than a decade's
worth of works of German literature and art in light of the recent paradigm shift
in cultural criticism called the "ethical turn." Central themes include the legacy
of the politically engaged 1968 generation, eastern Germany and the process of unification,
widening economic disparity as a result of political policies and recession, and problems
of integration and inclusivity for ethnic and religious minorities as migration to
Germany has increased.
