4. (240) In the second to last paragraph, she distinguishes retronationalism from nostalgia for the East. What is her distinction and what do you think of it?
When the GDR no longer existed, many bands articulated it as the so-called retronationalism. It is not the N/Ostalgie that is associated with products and places. She states that Retronationalism cannot be subsumed into the emotionalized model of nostalgia. The GDR is in fact a critique of contemporary German-German society that cannot be explained by invoking sentiment into politics
