The GDR Today promotes interdisciplinary approaches to East Germany by gathering articles from a new generation of scholars in the fields of literary and visual studies, history, sociology, translation studies, political science, museum studies and curating practice. The contributors to this volume argue that it is necessary to transgress disciplinary boundaries to escape the gridlocked categories of GDR scholarship. Exploring East German everyday life, cultural policies, memory and memorialization, the volume aims to reinvigorate the study of the GDR. Through the combination and juxtaposition of different approaches to East Germany, it overcomes intra-disciplinary conceptual binaries and revitalizes debates about the very concepts we use to understand life under late twentieth-century state socialism.

About the Author
Stephan Ehrig is a Teaching Fellow in German at Durham University. His PhD thesis examined the reception of Heinrich von Kleist in GDR literature and theatre at the University of Bristol. He has previously published in the Kleist Jahrbuch and Literaturkritik and his monograph Der dialektische Kleist was published in March 2018.
Marcel Thomas is Departmental Lecturer in Twentieth-Century European History at St Antony’s College, University of Oxford. He completed his PhD at the University of Bristol in 2017. His thesis, «Local Lives, Parallel Histories: Villagers and Everyday Life in the Divided Germany», is the first comparative study of how East and West German villagers experienced and navigated social change in their localities in the postwar era. He has previously published in the Journal of Urban History and the European Review of History.
David Zell is Research Associate at the Institute for German Studies, University of Birmingham. He was awarded his PhD in German Studies at the University of Birmingham in 2018, with a thesis titled «Major Cultural Commemorations and the Construction of Cultural and Political Identity in the GDR, 1959–83». He has also contributed to the Significance of the Centenary project, an interdisciplinary, cross-sector series of workshops bringing together museum practitioners and academics from several British universities to contextualize, compare and convey the significance of centenaries.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
