Rethinking the Weimar Republic
“McElligott's impressive mastery of an enormous body of research guides him on a distinctive path through the dense thickets of Weimar historiography to a provocative new interpretation of the nature of authority in Germany's first democracy.” Sir Ian Kershaw, Emeritus Professor of Modern History at the University of Sheffield, UK This study challenges conventional approaches to the history of the Weimar Republic by stretching its chronological-political parameters from 1916 to 1936, arguing that neither 1918 nor 1933 constituted distinctive breaks in early 20th-century German history. This book: - Covers all of the key debates such as inheritance of the past, the nature of authority and culture - Rethinks topics of traditional concern such as the economy, Article 48, the Nazi vote and political violence - Discusses hitherto neglected areas, such as provincial life and politics, the role of law and Republican cultural politics
From Goethe to Gundolf
From Goethe to Gundolf: Essays on German Literature and Culture is a collection of Roger Paulin’s groundbreaking essays, spanning the last forty years. The work represents his major research interests of Romanticism and the reception of Shakespeare in Germany, but also explores a broader range of themes, from poetry and the public memorialization of poets to fairy stories - all meticulously researched, yet highly accessible. As a comprehensive examination of German literary history in the period 1700-1900, the collection not only includes accounts of the lives and work of Goethe, Schiller, the Schlegels, and Gundolf (amongst others), serving to nuance our understanding of these figures in history, but also considers diverse (and often underexplored) topics, from academic freedom to the rise of travel literature. The essays have been reformulated, corrected, and updated to add references to recent works. However, the core foundations of the originals remain, and just as when they were first published, the value of these essays – to researchers, students, and all those who are interested in German literary history – cannot be overstated.
The Routledge Handbook of Music and Migration
The Routledge Handbook of Music and Migration: Theories and Methodologies is a progressive, transdisciplinary paradigm-shifting core text for music and migration studies. Conceptualized as a comprehensive methodological and theoretical guide, it foregrounds the mobile potentials of music and presents key arguments about why musical expressions matter in the discussion of migration politics. 24 international specialists in music and migration set methodological and theoretical standards for transdisciplinary collaborations in the field of migration studies, discussing 41 keywords, such as mobility, community, research ethics, human rights, and critical whiteness in the context of music and mi...
Digitised Newspapers – A New Eldorado for Historians?
The application of digital technologies to historical newspapers has changed the research landscape historians were used to. An Eldorado? Despite undeniable advantages, the new digital affordance of historical newspapers also transforms research practices and confronts historians with new challenges. Drawing on a growing community of practices, the impresso project invited scholars experienced with digitised newspaper collections with the aim of encouraging a discussion on heuristics, source criticism and interpretation of digitized newspapers. This volume provides a snapshot of current research on the subject and offers three perspectives: how digitisation is transforming access to and expl...
Theological Libraries and Library Associations in Europe
During the past 50 years, theological libraries have confronted secularisation and religious pluralism, along with revolutionary technological developments that brought not only significant challenges but also unexpected opportunities to adopt new instruments for the transfer of knowledge through the automation and computerisation of libraries. This book shows how European theological libraries tackled these challenges; how they survived by redefining their task, by participating in the renewal of scholarly librarianship, and by networking internationally. Since 1972, BETH, the Association of European Theological Libraries, has stimulated this process by enabling contacts among a growing number of national library associations all over Europe.
Libraries and Their Architecture in the 21st Century
Libraries have quietly changed over the last 20 years. They have adapted early and consciously to the changes of digitalization, they have recognized the changed need of their users for collaborative work and derived new spatial concepts from this. Transparency and access to information, knowledge and encounters are the prerequisites for holistic social development. It is the challenge of the 21st century as the information age. This book presents the latest developments in library architecture as well as the way scientists and architects are meeting this challenge. With essays by Achim Bonte, Catherine Lau, Max Dudler, Georg Gewers, Henning Larsen Architects, MSAO Architects, Claudia Lux, M...
Die Shakespeare-Übersetzungen August Wilhelm Schlegels und des Tieck-Kreises
Die als „Schlegel/Tieck" bekannt gewordene Übersetzung sämtlicher Dramen William Shakespeares – sie wurde 1797 von August Wilhelm Schlegel begonnen und in den 1820er Jahren von Ludwig Tieck, seiner Tochter Dorothea und Wolf Heinrich von Baudissin fortgeführt – ist zu einem klassischen Text der deutschen Literatur geworden. Die Beiträge nehmen eine Neubewertung dieser Übertragungen vor, indem sie nach ihren Kontexten fragen: nach den Bedingungen, der Theorie und der Praxis des Übersetzens, nach der Bedeutung innerhalb des frühromantischen Programms sowie nach dem Konzept einer „romantisch-poetischen" Übersetzung. Außerdem werden die Unterschiede in den Verfahren August Wilhel...
Praxishandbuch Wissenschaftliche Bibliothekar:innen
Die digitale Transformation stellt wissenschaftliche Bibliothekar: innen vor neue Herausforderungen, die nicht nur den praktischen Umgang mit neuen Technologien betreffen, sondern die eine neue Art des Handelns, Kommunizierens, Kooperierens sowie ein neues professionelles Rollenverständnis hervorgebracht haben. Dies entspricht längst nicht mehr dem klassischen Selbstverständnis des "höheren Dienstes", in dessen Mittelpunkt eine auf den Bestand fokussierte Fachreferatsarbeit stand und dessen Aufgabengebiete durch eine streng hierarchische Organisationsstruktur der Bibliothek geprägt und begrenzt waren. Die Digitalisierung hat diese Ordnung in Bewegung gebracht und zahlreiche neue Aufgabe...
Nutzung des PDA-Modells
In Bibliotheken rechtfertigte die steigende Nicht-Nutzung der Kaufmonographien in den letzten Jahren den Einsatz eines kundengesteuerten Erwerbungsmodells, der Patron-Driven-Acquisition (PDA). Die PDA ermöglicht den Bibliotheken den Aufbau eines kundenorientierten Bestands, stellt sie jedoch vor die Problematik, ihre Bestandsentwicklung Kunden anzuvertrauen, deren Verhalten ihnen unbekannt ist. Deshalb wird in Deutschland meist ein moderiertes PDAModell erprobt oder eingesetzt. Ziel diese Buches ist es, das Verhalten der Bibliothekskunden während der Nutzung des PDA-Modells aufzuzeigen sowie beeinflussende Faktoren zu untersuchen. Anhand dieser Ergebnisse soll versucht werden, die Bedenken bezüglich des Einsatzes eines nichtmoderierten PDA-Modells abzumildern.
