The fiftieth issue
(2021)
At first glance, the seventeenth year of this journal’s publication would not appear to mark any particular anniversary. And yet the present edition is quite special for the editors and the editorial team: it is the 50th issue overall. (There was a double issue in 2007, otherwise there have always been three issues each year.) This milestone is the occasion for a brief review of the original objectives and of developments thus far, as well as a (self-)critical look at what the future may bring. Scholars in the nascent field of the cultural study of periodicals have rightly observed: ›The production of periodicals is often accompanied by reflections on the value, conditions, and promise of producing periodicals.‹
Fürsorgediktatur
(2023)
Neu in einer aktualisierten Version 2.0: In seinem Artikel erörtert Konrad H. Jarausch den Neologismus „Fürsorgediktatur“, ein Spannungsbegriff, der den widersprüchlichen Charakter der DDR vor allem unter Honecker auf einen präzisen Nenner bringen sollte. Mit dem Gedanken entworfen, die festgefahrene Auseinandersetzung um die Geschichtspolitik anzustoßen und eine analytische Debatte zu beginnen, beschreibt Jarausch Kritiken und Interpretationsmöglichkeiten des Begriffs.
