            Abstract
            How can exploitative living and working conditions be remembered with nostalgia? This monograph offers an analysis of the specific form of the 'nostalgia-based master narrative' used by ex-mineworkers in Lubumbashi (DR Congo) as a solution to current problems and the future. On the methodological level, questions of crucial importance for the above-mentioned point are addressed, such as contextual and group knowledge production and the communicative processes involved.
             
            Wie kann man sich mit Nostalgie an ausbeuterische Lebens- und Arbeitsbedingungen erinnern? Die vorliegende Monographie bietet eine Analyse der spezifischen Form des „nostalgiebasierten Narrativs“, das von ehemaligen Minenarbeitern in Lubumbashi (DR Kongo) verwendet wird. Auf der methodischen Ebene werden Fragen behandelt, die für die oben genannte Fragestellung von zentraler Bedeutung sind, wie z.B. die kontext- und gruppenbezogene Wissensproduktion und die damit verbundenen kommunikativen Prozesse.
