Der Donauraum: Remembrance Culture and Common Histories in the Danube Region (Der Donauraum: Zeitschrift des Instituts für den Donauraum und Mitteleuropa)

The past twenty-five years in Southeastern Europe have witnessed extensive efforts by states, intellectuals, parties and ordinary citizens to re-evaluate, rewrite and revise the past. […] Yet, these new narratives frequently did not serve open and diverse reflection but sought to justify new/old narratives. […] This special issue examines these efforts on three levels: official new narratives, remembrance in popular culture, such as music and film, and larger social processes of identity construction.” Florian Bieber, Introduction
