a sacred duty red army women veterans remembering the great Fatherland war 1941 1945
Australian Journal of Politics and History, 2008Co-Authors: Roger D MarkwickAbstract:Some 500,000 women fought with the Red Army in the Great Fatherland War, 1941-1945. Based on a selection of women veterans’ memoirs published since the demise of the Soviet Union, this article looks at what these women choose to remember about the war, and how, and equally what they choose to forget or remain silent about. The paper seeks to illuminate shared or disparate collective and individual memory and experiences. A particular objective of the paper is to assess the degree to which these written recollections coincide with or deviate from the predominant patriotic, heroic, masculine paradigm of the Great Fatherland War and its historiography. The overall objective of the paper is to humanise the female faces behind the masculine mask of the Red Army at war against Nazism.

“A Sacred Duty”: Red Army Women Veterans Remembering the Great Fatherland War, 1941–1945

What Is the German’s Fatherland? The GDR and the Resettlement of Ethnic Germans from Socialist Countries (1949–1989)
East European Politics and Societies, 2015Co-Authors: Jannis PanagiotidisAbstract:This article deals with the migration of “ethnic Germans” from socialist Eastern Europe to the GDR in the decades after the Second World War. Post-expulsion resettlement from that region is commonly associated with Aussiedler migration to West Germany. Contesting the idea that East Germany displayed no interest in Eastern European Germans, this article shows that the GDR, which challenged the West German claim to be the sole representative of the German nation, also received ethnic German immigrants, mostly from Poland and the USSR. It argues that the distribution of roles between the two German states, with West Germany being the prime destination for resettlers, was not clear from the outset. It was only after Polish–West German “normalization” in 1970 that the FRG became the almost uncontested “Fatherland” for Eastern European Germans. West and East German approaches resembled each other as long as they were predicated on humanitarian family reunification. They diverged as the GDR attempted co-ethnic l...

pilgrims of the Fatherland emblems and religious rituals in the construction of an inter patriotic space between hungary and transylvania
History and Anthropology, 2009Co-Authors: Anne Marie LosonczyAbstract:The paper deals with the emblems and rituals that help creating the symbolic space of a “home” or “Fatherland” which transcends the borders of nation‐states and generate cultural intimacy between people living in different countries and under different political regimes. After a glance at some symbolic condensations of Hungarian‐ness, with special regard to the territorial marking and the dead, it focuses on the recent transformations of an annual pilgrimage in Transylvania into ritual staging of Hungarian “homeland” across borders and regardless of religious affiliations. Remaining for centuries the religious feast of the local Szekel population, a minority Magyar‐speaking Catholic group, after 1989 the pilgrimage of Csiksomlyo/Şumuleu, in today’s Romania, developed into a powerful manifestation of Hungarian patriotism. Set in a multi‐linguistic and multi‐religious area, this pilgrimage provides a sophisticated ritual framework and the symbolic tools to negotiate the various groups’ belonging to, and the...

Fatherland rhetoric and the threat of absolutism hesse cassel and the reichskammergericht 1646 1655
The Eighteenth Century, 2014Co-Authors: C A RomeinAbstract:AbstractIn 1646, Landgravine Amelie Elisabeth wanted to regain the principality of her late husband, on behalf of her son, the minor Wilhelm VI. A conflict (re)ignited as she took 4000 Malter of Corn without the nobility’s consent, consequently violating ancient privileges. Subsequently, the nobles assembled to discuss the affair. This meeting meant an attempt to undermine the government, at least, that was the interpretation of Amelie Elisabeth, and all meetings were consequently forbidden. Since friendly requests – such as the 1647 Remonstratio – did not work, the knights changed their strategy. In 1652 a Replicae was sent to the Reichskammergericht in Speyer, the first of a series of legal suits which eventually led to a Vergleich (Agreement, 2 October 1655). The nobility as well as the landgrave used Fatherland rhetoric to stress the legality of their argument and their claims to protect Hesse-Cassel, their Fatherland.

Fatherland Rhetoric and the “threat of absolutism”: Hesse-Cassel and the Reichskammergericht (1646–1655)

rehabilitating Fatherland race and german remasculinization
Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society, 1998Co-Authors: Heide FehrenbachAbstract:At the opening of the 1952 conference in Wiesbaden, "The Fate of Mixed-Blood Children in Germany," Erich Lifner, editor of the FrankfurterRundschau, was declared a "hero of humanity." Lifiner was feted not for his journalistic achievement, but for becoming an adoptive father to Donatus, an interracial child born to a German refugee allegedly raped by an African American GI shortly after German defeat. Liiner's heroization underlined his exceptionality as a rare role model for socially responsible paternalism. Indeed his anecdotes chronicling Doni's integration into Lifner's white family emphasized less the personal relationship between adoptive father and son than the social implications and social utility of interracial fathering after National Socialism. Lifner's experience, that is, was packaged as a pedagogical example for the moral rehabilitation of German masculinity and the West German nation.'

rehabilitating Fatherland race and german remasculinization the remasculinization of germany in the 1950s
Signs, 1998Co-Authors: Heide FehrenbachAbstract:L'A. decrit de quelle maniere le paternalisme et l'autorite masculine en Allemagne ont ete rehabilites apres la Deuxieme Guerre mondiale. Elle analyse le role du discours sur la race dans le cadre du processus de « re-masculinisation » qui a affecte ce pays dans cette periode. Elle met en exergue l'aspect normatif inherent a la fiction du « nouvel allemand ». Elle montre, d'une part, comment les femmes allemandes violees par des soldats allies purent donner l'image d'une Allemagne victime de la guerre et, d'autre part, comment, dans la presse allemande, la dramatisation de la situation de la jeunesse, dans les annees 1950, permit de redonner vigueur au systeme patriarcal.
