"The Afterlife of the Shoah in Central and Eastern European Cultures is a collection of essays by literary scholars from Germany and Central Eastern Europe offering insight into the specific ways of representing the Shoah and its aftereffects as well as its entanglement with other catastrophic events in the region. Introducing the conceptual frame of postcatastrophe, the collected essays explore the discursive and artistic space the Shoah occupies in the countries between Moscow and Berlin. Postcatastrophe is informed by the knowledge of other concepts of "post" and shares their insight into forms of transmission and latency; in contrast to them, explores the after-effects of extreme events on a collective, aesthetic, and political rather than a personal level. The articles use the concept of postcatastrophe as a key to understanding the entangled and conflicted cultures of remembrance in postsocialist literatures and the arts dealing with events, phenomena and developments that refuse to remain in the past and still continue to shape perceptions of today's societies in Eastern Europe. As a contribution to memory studies as well as to literary criticism with a special focus on Shoah remembrance after socialism, this book is of great interest to students and scholars of European history, and those interested in historical memory more broadly".

Im Zuge der europäischen Integration nach 1989 schien es, als könnten die transnationalen Erinnerungskulturen in Europa die nationalen ablösen und eine neue europäische Identität re/präsentieren. National geprägte Erinnerungstraditionen erweisen sich jedoch erstens als beharrlich, zweitens bilden sie dabei zugleich ein neues Verhältnis zu Europa aus, in welchem das Nationale teilweise eine neue Stoßrichtung erhält.Eine internationale Tagung in Regensburg zielte darauf ab, dieser Gleichzeitigkeit und Prozessualität des Nationalen und des Transnationalen auf die Spur zu kommen, woraus auch dieser Band hervorging. In den konkreten Einzelanalysen steht das Narrative im Fokus, zugleich geht es um die transmediale Betrachtung der Erinnerungsnarrative im weiteren Kontext. Analysiert werden fiktionale und non-fiktionale Texte sowie Repräsentationen der Vergangenheit in Fernsehen, Film, Fotografie und musealen Ausstellungen.Das Erstarken des nationalen Deutungsmusters im heutigen Europa lässt sich durch den Blick auf das "geteilte" Erinnern besser verstehen. Es geht dabei nicht zuletzt um die Frage, welche Chancen und Gefahren in den heute veränderten europäischen Gedächtniskulturen liegen.
