"An illustration of the ways in which people construct global iconic events through the case study of the fall of the Berlin Wall"-- " How do stories of particular events turn into global myths, while others fade away? What becomes known and seen as a global iconic event? In Stories without Borders, Julia Sonnevend considers the ways in which we recount and remember news stories of historic significance. Focusing on journalists covering the fall of the Berlin Wall and on subsequent retellings of the event in a variety of ways--from Legoland reenactments to slabs of the Berlin Wall installed in global cities--Sonnevend discusses how certain events become built up so that people in many parts of the world remember them for long periods of time. She argues that five dimensions determine the viability and longevity of international news events. First, a foundational narrative must be established with certain preconditions. Next, the established narrative becomes universalized and a mythical message developed. This message is then condensed and encapsulated in a simple phrase, a short narrative, and a recognizable visual scene. Counter-narratives emerge that reinterpret events and in turn facilitate their diffusion across multiple media platforms and changing social and political contexts. Sonnevend examines these five elements through the developments of November 9, 1989--what came to be known as the fall of the Berlin Wall. Stories Without Borders concludes with a discussion of how global iconic events have an enduring effect on individuals and societies, pointing out that after common currencies, military alliances, and international courts have failed, stories may be all that we have to bring hope and unity"-- Berlin Wall, Berlin, Germany, 1961-1989 Press coverage Collective memory History 20th century Transnationalism History 20th century Journalism Social aspects History 20th century Journalism Political aspects History 20th century Narration (Rhetoric) Social aspects History 20th century Narration (Rhetoric) Political aspects History 20th century Storytelling Social aspects History 20th century Storytelling Political aspects History 20th century SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / General bisacsh https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780190604301.001.0001/acprof-9780190604301 Uni Bern: Volltext BK020053 XK020053 XK020000 Oxford Scholarship Online Sociology Oxford Scholarship Online E-Books von 360MarcUpdates IDSBB B405 B405 405VT IDSBB 100 1- Sonnevend Julia author IDSBB 856 40 https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780190604301.001.0001/acprof-9780190604301 Uni Bern: Volltext SWISSBIB 404121500
