Abstract
This chapter will consider what it might mean to ‘remember’ the GDR after the fall of the Berlin Wall, setting out the theoretical concepts which have underpinned the
discussions of the research network ‘After the Wall: Reconstructing and Representing the GDR’. We will contextualise those theoretical concepts in a changing global landscape of remembrance in which understandings of what
constitutes knowledge of the past and what it means to relate to the past in a meaningful way have shifted radically.
