Carl Albert Loosli (1877-1959)
Carl Albert Loosli führte ein wild bewegtes Leben als freier Schriftsteller, Gesellschaftskritiker und Satiriker. Im Spiegel von künstlerischer Darstellung, Fotografien und vor dem Hintergrund von zeitgenössischen Dokumenten präsentiert dieser Band sein Engagement für Kinder und Unterdrückte, für Kunst und Künstler, für Minderheiten und Menschenrechte, gegen Antisemiten und Nationalsozialisten. Entstanden ist so ein besonderer Beitrag zur Bernischen und Schweizerischen Kulturgeschichte.

Crime Fiction in German
Crime Fiction in German is the first volume in English to offer a comprehensive overview of German-language crime fiction from its origins in the early nineteenth century to its vibrant growth in the new millennium. As well as introducing readers to crime fiction from Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the former East Germany, the volume expands the notion of a German crime-writing tradition by investigating Nazi crime fiction, Jewish-German crime fiction, Turkish-German crime fiction and the Afrika-Krimi. Significant trends, including the West German social crime novel, women’s crime writing, regional crime fiction, historical crime fiction and the Fernsehkrimi television crime drama are also explored, highlighting the genre’s distinctive features in German-language contexts. This volume includes a map of German-speaking Europe, a chronology of key crime publishing milestones, primary texts and trends, as well as an annotated bibliography of print and online resources in English and German.
The Text and Its Context
This Festschrift for Ronald Speirs, Professor of German at the University of Birmingham, contains twenty-four original essays by scholars from Great Britain, Germany, Austria, and Norway. Between them they encompass the entire modern period from the later eighteenth century onwards, and focus on a wide range of German-speaking environments. Several essays throw new light on authors to whom Professor Speirs himself has devoted particular attention (such as Brecht, Thomas Mann, Nietzsche, and Fontane), whilst others discuss writers such as Lenz, Büchner, Böhlau, C. F. Meyer, Keyserling, Jahnn, and Huch. Above all, however, the contributions address the complexities of writing in ideologically diverse contexts, including the Third Reich and the former German Democratic Republic. This interplay between text and context is the cornerstone which links all the essays, as it has consistently informed Ronald Speirs's own work - which combines a scrupulous attention to textual detail with an acute awareness of the socio-political milieux and philosophical influences that shape creative literature.
The Art Public
A brief intellectual history of the idea of the art public. The Art Public explores the history of efforts to imagine a collective, general audience for art in the world. Oskar Bätschmann explores both written and pictorial evidence of the development of the “art public” as an idea and disentangles connections between art production, audiences, and actual reception. Two aspects shape the narrative: the transformation of the audience from passive recipient to active agent as well as satirical jabs at audiences by the likes of Cruikshank, Rowlandson, and Daumier. This sweeping account connects the ancient Greeks with Renaissance painters, modern writers, and contemporary movie stars in a deft survey of the ways we imagine art’s immediate impact on audiences and its afterlives in museums, galleries, and the world.
The Lie that Wouldn't Die
Of all the libels that have served as a means of incitement of hate against Jews, and as intellectual justification of anti-Semitism, the myth of the so-called 'Jewish Conspiracy' to gain domination of the whole world, as embodied in the forged Protocols of the Elders of Zion, is probably the most devious and the most dangerous. Previously only analyzed in academic, footnoted studies, the history of the Protocols is presented here by Judge Hadassa Ben-Itto in an eminently readable, fascinating account, telling the stories of the numerous people involved over the hundred years that the forgery has existed. Above all, this is the story of a judge who follows the Protocols into lawyers' chambers and into courtrooms in Switzerland, in South Africa, in Germany, in the United States and in Russia, and presents the reader with a detailed critical analysis of legal proceedings which culminated in fascinating courtroom drama. The truth is revealed again and again, but the lie wouldn't die.
The Global Impact of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion
Since it was compiled in the early 20th Century, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion has attracted the interest of politicians and academicians, and generated extensive research. Exploring the tract’s successful dissemination and examining the impact of the Protocols across the world, this book attempts to understand its continuing popularity, one hundred years after its first appearance, in so many diverse societies and cultures.
Carl Albert Loosli
Band 1: Er war ein schweizerischer Emile Zola und wurde häufig in der Nachfolge Gotthelfs gesehen: Carl Albert Loosli, der “Philosoph von Bümpliz”. Der unehelich geborene Loosli verbrachte mehrere Jahre in Anstalten der deutschen und welschen Schweiz. Nach ruhelosen Jahren zwischen Bern, Neuchâtel und Paris, wo er sich als Bohemien herumtrieb, liess er sich Ende 1904 auf Dauer in Bümpliz nieder. Er baute sich eine Existenz als Journalist und Schriftsteller auf, von deren Erträgen seine Familie mehr schlecht als recht zu leben vermochte. Loosli verfasste Satiren, Novellen und Anekdoten; Romane lagen ihm weniger. Mit Loosli stehen wir an den Quellen der schweizerischen Kriminalliterat...
