Locals As Immigrants in German Unification and Acculturation: How Nostalgia Enchants the Former East
This project explores the case of acculturation without migration following Germany’s political unification in 1989. We find that enchanting nostalgia can be based on ideological, re-enacted, or re-appropriated meanings of the former GDR’s socialist consumer culture which in turn can facilitate, inhibit or reverse cultural adaptation and subsequently acculturation processes.
