In Germany, Namibia and South Africa, contemporary societies are characterized by diversity, which is not only a challenge for shaping the present and the future, but also for understanding the past. An inclusive, diversity-oriented understanding challenges society's self-narrative and thus changes cultural memory. Literature and media, as well as everyday language use, have a part in cultural memory and produce cultures of memory. Accordingly, they are central both to the production and reflection of multidirectional memory work and to diversity-oriented future design.
