Remembering and Recounting the Cold War
Perceptions and images of the Cold War as they appear in textbooks, in the classroom but also in public and in the scientific discourse are topic of this volume "Remembering and Recounting the Cold War – Commonly Shared History?". These perceptions and images are particularly interesting because they are part of the communicative memory and are thus in the process of undergoing change. It is also the task of history didactics, here understood as a science concerned with investigating, theorizing on and staging the way of how people and societies deal with history and memories, to describe, to analyze and to interpret such moldings of teaching cultures, memory cultures and, of course, individual and collective views of this era.

"My point of view is: believing in the superiority of your own race, religion, ideology or way of life allows you to treat others inhumanely. I never accepted that the Germans were the master race, or the United States God's own country, or the Jews the chosen people. ""What we observe today is the widespread acceptance of discrimination""

Correspondence 1943-1955
In December 1945 Thomas Mann wrote a famous letter to Adorno in which he formulated the principle of montage adopted in his novel Doctor Faustus. The writer expressly invited the philosopher to consider, with me, how such a work and I mean Leverkhns work could more or less be practically realized. Their close collaboration on questions concerning the character of the fictional composers putatively late works (Adorno produced specific sketches which are included as an appendix to the present volume) effectively laid the basis for a further exchange of letters. The ensuing correspondence between the two men documents a rare encounter of creative tension between literary tradition and aesthetic...

In Praise of Mortality
Rainer Maria Rilke's poetry offers a rare combination of insight, beauty, and accessibility that has delighted readers for generations. Beloved for its unique lyrical style and musical language, his work stands as some of the most remarkable poetry of the past one hundred years. In Praise of Mortality is an artfully curated selection of poems from Sonnets to Orpheus and Duino Elegies that investigate the emotional and psychological impact of the industrial revolution, and meditate on themes of impermanence and the steady passage of time. Barrows, an award-winning poet herself, and Macy, a well-known spiritual teacher, bring to their translations a striking sensitivity to the subtle currents of the work, approaching the poems with a fresh perspective that highlights the delicacy of their craft and beauty. With a deep reverence for nature and a singular ability to embody the tenuous connection between the spiritual and material, Rilke's sonnets and elegies are a thoughtful antidote to the distractions, noise, and ever-increasing pace of the modern world.
Die Zeit: 12.30 Uhr
12.30 Uhr ist die bekannteste Sendezeit im Radio der deutschen Schweiz. Seit rund 90 Jahren sind die Mittagsnachrichten unverrückt im Programm, und Generationen informierten und informieren sich zu dieser Stunde über das Neueste. Allerdings hat sich die Medienlandschaft dramatisch verändert, und das Radio hat an Bedeutung verloren. Social Media faszinieren seit einigen Jahren die Gesellschaft und machen es möglich, dass jeder zum Informanten wird. Kurt Witschi zeigt auf, welche Entwicklung die Nachrichten am Radio hinter sich und wie sich im Lauf der Jahrzehnte die Form der Nachrichten und Arbeitsbedingungen in den Redaktionen geändert haben; er zeigt, 'wie es früher war' und welch zögerlicher, gar mühsamer Prozess am Anfang des Mediums Radio dessen Informationsarbeit behinderte. Ein zentrales Kapitel ist auch der Frage gewidmet, wie die Schweizer Radionachrichten im Zweiten Weltkrieg informierten.
