Acknowledgments

O ver the years, many people have served as sounding boards for larger and smaller portions of this project, commiserated with me, and provided support when it was most needed. Although these debts can only be poorly repaid through printed expressions of gratitude, I would nevertheless like to express my thanks to the Ann Arbor Germanists, especially Kathleen Canning, Geoff Eley, Young-sun Hong, Jennifer Jenkins, and Dennis Sweeney, who have adopted me into their extended academic and social family. Karrin Hanshew has been my most important intellectual interlocutor, and special thanks are due to her for her trenchant but constructive comments on the initial version of my chapters on police surveillance. On the other side of the Atlantic, I owe thanks to Heidrun Suhr, Dorothee Wierling, and especially Carola Sachse, who has been a wonderful guide to Berlin gastronomy, and who has never failed to skewer a loose argument. Closer to home, I would like to thank Iona Man-cheong, Kathleen Wilson, Alix Cooper, Janis Mimura, and Ira Livingston, as well as Renate Bridenthal.

I would also like to thank the various agencies that supported the research on which this work is based. A research visit grant from the German Academic Exchange Service helped get the project off the ground. Subsequent work was supported by summer fellowships from the Center for Contemporary History in Potsdam and the National Endowment for the Humanities. A Fulbright Research Fellowship later enabled me to spend a full year at the Center for Contemporary History, where I was associated with their research project on the advent of the digital society. My involvement with the Center made me more sensitive to the role of computerization and sharpened my understanding of the main themes in the historiography of contemporary Germany. I would like to thank the director, Frank Bsch, the members of the computerization group (Rdiger Bergien, Martin Schmitt, Julia Erdogan, Thomas Kasper, and Janine Funke), and all of the staff for creating a congenial and extraordinarily stimulating intellectual environment.
