It takes as its point of departure challenges to the discrete nation-state posed by globalization, migration, and European integration today, but then circles back to the beginnings of European history after the fall of the Roman Empire. Unlike nationalist literary historians of the nineteenth century, who sought the tribal roots of an allegedly homogeneous people, this study finds a distant mirror of analogous processes today in the fluid mixtures and movements of peoples. Imperial Fictions argues that it is time to stop thinking about today's multicultural present as a deviation from a culturally monolithic past. We should rather consider the various permutations of "German" identities that have been negotiated within local and imperial contexts from the early Middle Ages to the present"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a German literature $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a German literature $z Europe, German-speaking $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Imperialism in literature. 650 0 $a Nationalism in literature. 650 0 $a National characteristics, German, in literature. 650 7 $a German literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00941797 650 7 $a Imperialism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00968142 650 7 $a National characteristics, German, in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033437 650 7 $a Nationalism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033899 651 7 $a Europe, German-speaking. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01692653 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a Kontje, Todd Curtis, 1954- $t Imperial fictions. $d Ann Arbor : University of Michigan Press, 2018 $z 9780472123735 $w (DLC) 2018015032 830 0 $a Social history, popular culture, and politics in Germany. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021014058.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=989FF1C6E96D11E8978F920F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
