Nazi Buildings, Cold War Traces and Governmentality in Post-Unification Berlin
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-08153-6 (ISBN)
Analysing public debates, physical interventions into the buildings and the structuring of the memory landscapes around them, the book demonstrates that the politics of memory impact not just upon the built environment of the post-dictatorship city, but upon the way decisions about it are made. In doing so, Nazi Buildings, Cold War Traces and Governmentality in Post-Unification Berlin makes the case for conceiving of a specifically ‘post-authoritarian’ governmentality and uses the responses to constructions like Goering’s Aviation Ministry, Tempelhof Airport and the Olympic complex to explore its features.
Clare Copley is Lecturer in Modern European History at the University of Central Lancashire, UK.
