(nagel-draxler.de) the material concerns relations that dwell in collective memory, lines drawn in the media, postwar restructuring, and real (and or 'expressed') senses of an intensification of the 'us/them' binary that informs certain 70s discourses generally. in part, the framework of the publication derives from recent interviews which focus on similarities and differences in the basic structures of specific types of german language cultural production for tv, programs where the frontiers of tv and social formations come in contact and overlap.'. sehr gutes exemplar.
