8. Name of conference: The Berlin Airlift. A Realm of Memory of the Cold War
-Conference topic/theme: The primary focus will be to use analysis of the various media
(press, newsreels etc.) to examine the direct perception of those central Cold War events by the
victorious powers, in West Germany, and in the Soviet occupation zone/East Germany. In
addition, we will illuminate memories of the Blockade and the Airlift by examining the
ceremonial aspects (organization, process, response) and public speeches (development of a
narrative); the anniversary and its symbols (posters, stamps etc.); how they are embedded in
Berlin’s topography and beyond (monuments, plaques, renaming of streets); and the museum
aspects (memorial sites, Tempelhof Airport, Allied Museum, memorial site in Fassberg etc.). In
that way, we can uncover the formative historical-social references and symbolism of the
memory site “Airlift.” We will also incorporate a look at how the Airlift has been dealt with in
the various forms of artistic expression, such as film (fiction and documentary), photography,
literature (novels, thrillers, comics etc.), music, and painting, as well as an analysis of other
media such as radio, video games, and even textbooks. For it is only via these various avenues
that can we achieve a true impression of how the memory site “Airlift” is embedded in society.

effort. It also aims to examine the roles played by black intellectuals such as Samuel Edward

African Native Labor Contingent, and in dealing with the aftermath of the Mendi tragedy.
