The project focuses on how illustrated periodicals of the GDR dealt with the ‚turnaround‘ and the period afterwards. It asks how they changed, what kind of thinking and perception and what forms of guidance they offered in the middle of grave political, social and cultural restructuring. At the current state of research, the project has an exploratory character. Accordingly, the analysis of three quite different periodicals will illustrate the range of its research question. These examples are specifically chosen for their wide range of format options: The NBI (Neue Berliner Illustrierte, 1945-1991) as a traditional weekly for a mass audience with a wide range of interests is accompanied by two special interest magazines: the armeerundschau (1956-1990) on the one hand, which presents itself as a valuable guidebook and as a medium for entertainment and information for army servicemen and their families, and by the filmspiegel on the other hand, which offers a mixture of contributions on film and TV. In order to build a good foundation for analyzing the periodicals’ late socialist character the period of investigation begins in 1985. Only on this basis it is possible to assess how the periodicals change when the GDR was in the process of being dissolved. The project links diverse perspectives from communication science and the history of knowledge to the current periodical and magazine studies to consider illustrated periodicals as a specific form of journalistic activity with epistemic implications. They are determined by rules and routines suitable for the moderation and coordination of a twofold demand: to support the development of the socialist society (party political concept of print media) and to continue and modify the tradition of illustrated weeklies (history of a print genre). This gives rise to a ‚popular magazine-socialism‘ which delegates the conceptualization of ‚socialism‘ to the magazine’s own mediality while being under state control. The focus lies on the analysis of the issue’s mixed character and the magazine’s periodicity. Here the project intends to explore the fundamental epistemic modes of perception, orientation, and valuation that reside within the popular socialism and also about its inner tensions and their outbreak in times of change. In doing so the project identifies the GDR’s popular magazines as important tools for modelling ‚late socialism‘, ‚turnaround‘ and the period afterwards. It will be a fundamental contribution to a more differentiated consideration of the GDR’s respectively East Germany’s late socialism and the complex dynamics of the ‚turnaround‘‘.

该项目的重点是如何说明期刊的民主德国处理的“转机”和之后的时期。它问他们是如何改变的，他们在严重的政治、社会和文化结构调整中提供了什么样的思维和看法以及什么样的指导。在目前的研究状况下，该项目具有探索性。因此，对三种截然不同的期刊的分析将说明其研究问题的范围。这些示例是专门为它们广泛的格式选项而选择的：NBI《新柏林画报》（Neue Berliner Illustrierte，1945 - 1991）是一份传统的周刊，面向兴趣广泛的大众读者，同时还有两份特殊兴趣杂志：军事杂志（1956 - 1990年）一方面，它将自己视为一本有价值的指南以及军人及其家人的娱乐和信息媒介，另一方面，电影明镜提供了电影和电视的混合贡献。为了给分析期刊的后社会主义性质打好基础，调查期从1985年开始。只有在此基础上，才有可能评估在民主德国解体过程中期刊的变化。该项目将传播科学和知识史的不同观点与当前的期刊和杂志研究联系起来，将插图期刊视为具有认识意义的新闻活动的特定形式。它们是由规则和例行程序，适合于适度和协调的双重需求：以支持社会主义社会的发展（党的政治概念的印刷媒体），并继续和修改的传统说明周刊（印刷体裁的历史）。这就产生了一种"大众杂志-社会主义"，它将"社会主义"的概念化委托给杂志自己的媒介，同时又处于国家控制之下。重点分析了该期刊的混合性和杂志的周期性。在这里，该项目旨在探索存在于大众社会主义内部的感知、取向和评价的基本认识模式，以及其内在的紧张关系及其在变革时期的爆发。在这样做的过程中，该项目确定了民主德国的流行杂志作为建模“后期社会主义”，“转型”和之后的时期的重要工具。这将是一个根本性的贡献，以更有区别地考虑民主德国分别东德国的后期社会主义和复杂的动态"转折"。
