4.9/5 (10108 ratings)

Description:Cultural life in the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) was strictly controlled by the ruling party, the SED, who attempted to dictate how people spent their free time by prohibiting privately organized leisure time pursuits and offering instead cultural activities in state institutions and organizations. By exploring the nature of dictatorial rule in the GDR and analysing the populationOCOs engagement with state-organized cultural activity, this book challenges the current assumptions about the GDROCOs social and institutional history that ignore the interaction and inter-dependence between OCyrulersOCO and OCyruledOCO. The author argues that the peopleOCOs cultural life in the GDR developed a dynamic of its own; it was determined by their own interests and by the input of cultural functionaries, who often aimed to satisfy popular demands, even if they were at odds with the SEDOCOs cultural policy. Gradually, these developments affected SED cultural policy, which in the 1960s became less focused on educationalist goals and increasingly oriented towards popular interests."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
