Examining the collective trauma of perpetrators (especially German national identity between 1945 and 2000) as well as victims, this book provides a fascinating insight into post-utopian patterns of collective identity in a globalised world.

This book proposes a theory of collective and national identity based on culture and language rather than power and politics. A study also of Germany before 1871, it shows how the codes of nineteenth-century German identity in turn became those of the divided Germany between 1945 and 1989.

Dieser Band gibt eine allgemeine Einfuhrung in das Fachgebiet Soziologie und zeigt deren Stellung innerhalb der Sozialwissenschaften. Er informiert uber die wichtigsten theoretischen Modelle zur Erklarung sozialen Verhaltens und zur Erfassung gesamtgesellschaftlicher Strukturen und Prozesse.
