In this inaugural episode of Unpacking The Real we meet Dr Anna Pollmann. Anna is a researcher at the Research Institute for Social Cohesion at Konstanz University, where she is co-editor of the volume Key Concepts of Social Cohesion: A Critical Vocabulary. https://www.fgz-risc.de/das-forschungsinstitut/personen/details/anna-pollmann
Anna is a cultural historian of the 19th and 20th centuries. Her first book "Fragments from the End Times" is based on the work of Günther Anders and reflects her broader interest in the transformation of historical consciousness from modernity to postmodernity.
In our conversation Anna refers to the diary chapter we have called Real is Not Real Enough by the more direct German translation: the Corpse Washer of History. In the original it is Der Leichenwäscher der Geschichte.
The Günther Anders archive is housed in the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek and located in the Wiener Hofburg right above the Spanische Hofreitschule. https://www.onb.ac.at/
Anna also refers, more specifically, to the Austrian Literature Archive in Vienna https://www.onb.ac.at/en/library/departments/literature/about-the-literary-archive
