TY - JOUR A1 - Cotârlea, Delia T1 - Die Wende 1989 in Joachim Wittstocks Erzählung "In der Nachbarschaft. Von der Schwäche der Macht" T2 - Germanistische Beiträge N2 - The present article deals with Joachim Wittstock’s story In der Nachbarschaft. Von der Schwäche der Macht. Wittstock’s narration presents in the form of a diary the upheaval of 1989 in Sibiu, Romania. We try to analize the story in a wider context, as we consider that the changes of 1989 in Eastern Europe cannot be judged only within the context of their own country, they have to be judged against the European context. Overcoming dictatorship in 1989/91 in East-Central Europe can be regarded as a culturally formative era border; through the restoration of freedom there was a change within all societies of the former Soviet bloc. How the Romanian Revolution is depicted in Wittstock’s text will be discussed in the following article. The importance of the text for the consolidation of the collective and cultural memory is also an issue stressed in the present analysis. KW - Wittstock, Joachim: In der Nachbarschaft.
