Abstract

The transmission of national history in general and family narratives in particular is prone to censorship and bias, protecting or enhancing social identities. The authors propose that, as has been shown for national groups, families also create and pass on representations about their roles and behaviors through history. In a representative survey, 1000 German respondents estimated the percentages of victims, perpetrators, and those who helped potential victims during the time of National Socialism to be 35%, 34%, and 16%, respectively. For family representations, the percentages shifted toward helping (29%) and away from complicity (20%), while representations of victimhood were as prevalent (36%) as estimates for the general population. Systematic differences suggested an alignment of general social representations of history with family representations. Participants reporting a perpetrator family representation held more positive attitudes toward refugees coming to Germany today than participants who did not report such a representation. This link was mediated through differences in societal representations. The authors discuss family representations as an intermediate, more proximate prescriptive background and points of reference, according to which more general historical representations on a national level may be aligned, and individual present-day political attitudes and behaviors oriented.
《这不是没有英雄的地方:国家社会主义时期德国家庭中受害者、帮助者和肇事者的普遍表现及其相关性》
一般的国家历史,特别是家庭叙事的传播容易受到审查和偏见的影响,从而保护或增强社会身份。作者提出,正如民族群体所表明的那样,家庭也会在历史中创造和传递关于他们角色和行为的表征。在一项具有代表性的调查中,1000名德国受访者估计,在国家社会主义时期,受害者、施暴者和帮助潜在受害者的人的比例分别为35%、34%和16%。对于家庭代表,百分比转向帮助(29%)和远离共谋(20%),而受害者的代表与普通人群的估计一样普遍(36%)。系统差异表明,历史的一般社会表征与家庭表征是一致的。报告犯罪者家庭代表的参与者对今天来到德国的难民持比没有报告此类代表的参与者更积极的态度。这种联系是通过社会表征的差异来调节的。作者将家庭表征作为一种中间的、更接近的规定性背景和参考点进行了讨论,根据这些背景和参考,可以在国家层面上对更普遍的历史表征进行调整,并以个人当前的政治态度和行为为导向。
