They are sites on which ideas of the nation are not only reaffirmed but also contested and reframed. In contemporary Germany, dominant narratives of the country's modern history habitually focus on the legacy of the Third Reich and tend to marginalize the country's rich and highly complex histories of immigration. The article addresses this commemorative void in relation to Berlin's urban landscape. It explores how the city's multilayered architecture provides locations for the articulation of marginal memoriesand hence sites of urban citizenshipthat are often denied to immigrant communities on a national scale. Through a detailed examination of a small celebration in 1965 that marked the anniversary of the founding of the modern Turkish republic, the article engages with the layers of history that coalesce around such sites in Berlin.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Kneis2013, author = {Kneis, Philipp}, title = {(S)aged by culture : Representations of old age in american indian literature and culture}, publisher = {Peter Lang Edition}, address = {Frankfurt am Main, New York}, isbn = {978-3-631-63853-8}, pages = {298 S.}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @article{WiemannEckstein2013, author = {Wiemann, Dirk and Eckstein, Lars}, title = {Introduction : towards a cultural politics of passion}, isbn = {978-3-631-60196-9}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @book{OPUS4-33786, title = {The politics of passion : reframing affect and emotion in global modernity}, series = {transpects}, volume = {7}, journal = {transpects}, editor = {Wiemann, Dirk and Eckstein, Lars}, publisher = {PL Acad.

The concept will be used to account for the meaning spectrum of the present-day English progressive, which, it will be argued, no monosemic approach to date can account for. Taking a look at the diachrony of the construction will help to reveal that the various "exceptions" found in the use of the progressive can be understood as reflections of different stages in its development. Older, less grammaticalized or less well-defined usage patterns thus often survive in certain restricted niches next to the newer, more grammaticalized or more clear-cut functions, representing different diachronic layers. In addition to this diachronic motivation for synchronic meaning variety, the article will also address the crucial question of how a present-day hearer of a progressive form is able to decode the specific meaning intended by the speaker based on contextual clues. The article ends with some suggestions for further applications of the concept of functional layering.}, language = {en} } @misc{Wiemann2013, author = {Wiemann, Dirk}, title = {Cities of the Mind - Villages of the Mind}, series = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Philosophische Reihe}, journal = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Philosophische Reihe}, number = {109}, issn = {1866-8380}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-93951}, pages = {14}, year = {2013}, abstract = {Deep into the second half of the twentieth century the traditionalist definition of India as a country of villages remained dominant in official political rhetoric as well as cultural production.

Has the village, then, entirely vanished from the cultural imaginary in contemporary India?
