Předběžná náplň práce

Od znovusjednocení v roce 1990 se Německo snaží o vývoj své identity reprezentující lidi z obou bývalých
bývalých německých států a na začátku dvacátého prvního století stále čelí ojedinělé výzvě
tím, jak se pokouší uvést do souladu historii svých dvou předchůdců, kapitalistického a
komunistického Německa. Tato práce pak s ohledem na výše řečené zkoumá roli historického
narativu vztahujícího se k budování státnosti v německém kontextu. Sleduje zejména způsob,
jímž bylo do dějin sjednoceného Německa integrováno východoněmecké povstání z roku 1953
a jakým způsobem toto povstání bylo využito k utváření příběhu roku 1989. Konečně pak práce reflektuje
význam takového srovnání pro čistě událostní historiografii.

Předběžná náplň práce v anglickém jazyce

Since reunifying in 1990, Germany has been working to develop an identity
that represents the people of the two former German states. At the beginning
of the twenty-first century the country still faced unique challenges as it
reconciles the stories of the former capitalist and communist states. First,
this study investigates the role of nation-building historical narratives
and how they developed in the German context. Then it looks at the
introduction of the East German uprising of 1953 into the national history
of unified Germany and how this event has been used to shape the narrative
around the 1989 revolution. Finally, it reflects on the significance of such
a comparison for the historiography of the events.
