Die Fahne Hoch

Horst Ludwig Georg Erich Wessel, born in Bielefeld in 1907, was the most celebrated martyr of the National Socialist movement. As a Sturmführer in the brown-shirted Sturmabteilung (SA), Horst Wessel led his men in Berlin, where the Communist paramilitary Red Front Fighters' League did their best to disrupt the activities of the new German Nationalists. In response to his capable leadership, which threatened the Communist stranglehold on much of the city, the Red Front put out a hit on the young SA-Man. His resulting death at the hands of a cowardly Communist assassin-a pimp and petty criminal named Albrecht Höhler-became a rallying cry for his comrades all across Germany (Höhler would lat...

The Making of a Nazi Hero

On 14 January 1930, Horst Wessel, a young and ambitious member of the SA was shot at close range at his home in Berlin. Although the crime was never completely solved, the murder was most likely committed by a group of communists with close ties to the city's gangland. Wessel later died from his injuries. Joseph Goebbels, whose attention had already been drawn to Wessel as a possible future Nazi leader, was the first to recognize the propaganda potential of the case. 'A young martyr for the Third Reich' he wrote in his diary on 23 February 1930 immediately after receiving the news of Wessel's death. This was the beginning of the myth-making that transformed an ordinary individual into a masc...

Fronteiras de uma guerra

A presente obra aborda aspectos referentes as relações internacionais e a imigração no estado de Santa Catarina durante o movimento social do Contestado. A partir da redução da escala de análise das fontes/documentos que remetem a casos de mortes, prisões, saques, incêndios criminosos e chacinas envolvendo imigrantes europeus, a autora apresenta e discute questões de proporções macro, como as consequências de tais casos nas relações internacionais entre Brasil e os países europeus que fomentavam política imigratória brasileira.

This book is a definitive history of C.F. Peters Music Publishers in Leipzig, founded as Hoffmeister & Kunnel Bureau de Musique in 1800; it spans culture, music, education and the Holocaust. Through extracts from letters, company and personal papers, the story highlights many fascinating and hitherto unpublished details about composers and major publications, often indicating how those considered of major importance today struggled for recognition in their own time. The emphasis is on the personalities, musicians, musical life and events, and genesis of some publications, rather than on musicological analysis. A gripping and detailed account of how the holocaust was to destroy the company's owner, Henri Hinrichsen and other members of his family, provides a grim reminder of the fate of Jews in Nazi Germany and the countries it came to occupy.

Wilhelm Abel's study of economic fluctuations over a period of seven hundred years has long been established as a core text in European agricultural history. Professor Abel was one of the first economic historians to make extensive use of statistical data, and his scholarship and approach have had a decisive effect on the orientation of economic and agricultural history. Using data on population, wages and rents from England, France, Germany and the Low Countries, and, on occasion, from Italy, Scandinavia and Poland, here Professor Abel demonstrates the striking similarity in the overall economic development for all these areas. He also analyses, the short-term fluctuations that have affecte...

Engagement und esoterische Kommunikation unterm Hakenkreuz

Formen nicht-nationalsozialistischer, aber zensurrelevanter und deshalb camouflierter Publikationen werden in der Literaturwissenschaft seit geraumer Zeit unter dem terminologisierten Ausdruck ‚verdeckte Schreibweise‘ diskutiert. Bislang hat sich die Forschung vornehmlich auf die produktionsästhetische Seite und das textuelle Ergebnis auktorial intendierter ‚Verdeckung‘ konzentriert. Die vorliegende Studie erweitert das Untersuchungsfeld um konkrete Praktiken und Funktionen ‚aufdeckenden Lesens‘ und bietet ein hermeneutisches Modell zur Detektion und Analyse dissidenter Kommunikation, das erlaubt, nonkonforme Schreib-, Publikations- und Lesepraktiken als zusammengehöriges Repertoire kontextsensibler und historisch spezifischer Textumgangsformen zu erfassen. An den textsortenübergreifenden Erzeugnissen des sogenannten Hochland-Kreises, der sich um das gleichnamige katholische Kulturjournal formierte, wird schließlich die Komplexität nonkonformistischer literarischer Verständigung ganz konkret an einem Fallbeispiel diskutiert und reflektiert.

China in der Literatur der Zwischenkriegszeit

Nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg lässt sich in der deutschsprachigen Literatur ein regelrechter China-Trend beobachten. Zahlreiche Autor:innen widmeten sich aus unterschiedlichen, zunehmend auch politischen Motiven der asiatischen Kultur. Viele dieser Texte sind heute vergessen. Auf der Grundlage einer umfassenden Recherche untersucht die Studie aus verflechtungsgeschichtlicher Perspektive die Darstellungen Chinas in der Literatur der Zwischenkriegsjahre und zeigt, dass China zwischen 1919 und 1937/39 von einem fremden und exotischen Land den einen zum politischen Vorbild, den anderen zum politischen Drohbild wird. In Fallstudien zu kanonischen und nicht-kanonischen Autor:innen, darunter Alfred DÃ...
