The several contributions in this issue illustrate the process of mediated dialogue in a digital age. The first article shows that culture and self-like society and identity-are conceived as mutually inclusive. The next paper shows how technology is able to create a new form of dialogue that is very personal and very public at the same time. The authors of the third paper are interested in the field of education in which they observe a dichotomy between individualistic and contextual concepts of learning. Next, Short Message Service-a rapidly growing medium of communication, particularly popular in circles of young people in Europe and increasingly in North America and elsewhere-is covered. The last two papers focus on television which is seen as a "social space" that offers a variety of possible self-images through audience discussion programs, its participants, and the disclosure of private stories and historical changes in the notion of space.

Drawing on newly opened archives as well as interviews with East German directors, actors, and state officials, Feinstein traces how the cinematic depiction of East Germany changed in response to national political developments and transnational cultural trends such as the spread of television and rock 'n' roll. Celluloid images fed a larger sense of East German identity, an identity that persists today, more than a decade after German reunification. But even as they attempted to satisfy calls for "authentic" images of the German Democratic Republic that would legitimize socialist rule, filmmakers challenged the regime's self-understanding. Beginning in the late 1960s, East German films dwelled increasingly on everyday life itself, no longer seeing it merely as a stage in the development...
