Abstract
Popular protests in postwar germany are sparked by a wide range of environmental concerns, which have become known collectively as "green" issues. While the overt focus of these protests is directed against urban and technological expansion, the symbolic discourse of the "green" movement constitutes a form of resistance, a way of reacting rhetorically to an increasing bureaucratization of expressive culture. My research reveals that the diverse metaphors of protest draw on both romantic and nationalist perceptions of the city. (Germany, urban protest movements, political language, symbolic discourse, nationalism)
