Essay from the year 2008 in the subject Politics - Topic: Globalization, Political Economics, grade: 2.0, University of Southampton (School of Humanities), course: Language, Discourse and Identity, language: English, abstract: Frank Beyer's Spur der Steine (Trace of Stones) is a controversial 1966 film production released in East Germany that had long been anticipated by Party officials, film artists and the general public. Not only was it the most expensive DEFA- production of the day, but its story had caused debate within the studio in the months leading up to its short-lived release. Beyer's work presents multiple perspectives on a construction site crisis and thereby openly questions the possibility of 'communion between individual destiny and collective destiny predicated by socialism's utopian goals.'
