Film und kulturelle Erinnerung - Plurimediale Konstellationen

It is only through certain forms of social use that media become 'Media of collective memory'. The phenomenon of a 'Remembrance film', too (e.g. Das Leben der Anderen,  Hotel Ruanda, On connaît la chanson ) only comes about in a plurimedial context with its incorporation into a complex systemic media network that makes it into a remembrance film through various forms of reference. The volume analyses film using the methodology of studies in cultural memory to reveal the functioning of these constellations.
