Produktbeschreibung
Following World War II, Germany was faced not only with the practical tasks of reconstruction and denazification, but also with the longer-term mission of morally "re-civilizing" its citizens-a goal that persisted through the nation's 1949 split. One of the most important mediums for effecting reeducation was television, whose strengths were particularly evident in the thousands of television plays that were broadcast in both Germanys in the 1950s and 1960s. This book shows how TV dramas transcended state boundaries and-notwithstanding the ideological differences between East and West-addressed shared issues and themes, helping to ease viewers into confronting uncomfortable moral topics.
Autorenporträt
I grew up in Melbourne, Australia. I completed degrees in Town Planning at Melbourne University and in Environmental Science at the University of Queensland. I also have a strong interest in history, astrophysics, cosmology and anthropology. I have worked for various government agencies, but whether it was local, state or federal government, all the roles I undertook focused on protecting Australia's natural environment.Most recently I worked for a council managing environment and community safety while living in a small coastal town on the Great Ocean Road.My love of science, care for nature and fascination of how humans govern themselves inspired me, but becoming a parent was the driving force for writing the Legacy Series. I now live in Geelong, Victoria, and aspire to be a successful author. I am the proud father of two children, and hope by writing books that I can inspire them and hopefully many others to chase their dreams.
