- Title
Zur Gegenwärtigkeit des Nationalsozialismus in der deutschen Gesellschaft.
- Authors
Heinze, Carsten
- Abstract
Currently German sociology debates how to handle the subject of the »Third Reich«. These discussions deal, among other things, with sociology as a present-oriented science. Therefore the article does not take the »Third Reich« as a historical phenomenon but asks for the actuality of Nationalsozialismus in the current culture of memory and popular culture. The contribution does not only show the empirical evidence of this topic, but also points to a methodological problem. So far sociology hardly notices media like film, literature and popular music in empirical research although these media dominate the social communication about history and determine our picture of the past. Consequently the article argues for a sociological perspective more focused on media and popular culture.
