Cultural Memory and Historical Consciousness in the German-speaking World Since 1500

  • Type: Book

  • Publisher: Peter Lang

This is the first of three volumes based on papers given at the conference 'The Fragile Tradition: The German Cultural Imagination Since 1500' in Cambridge, 2002. Together they provide a conspectus of current research on the cultural, historical and literary imagination of the German-speaking world across the whole of the modern period. This volume highlights the ways in which cultural memory and historical consciousness have been shaped by experiences of discontinuity, focusing particularly on the reception of the Reformation, the literary and ideological heritage of the Enlightenment, and the representation of war, the Holocaust, and the reunification of Germany in contemporary literature and museum culture.

This essay collection examines the dynamics of memory organization and the way it varies among different media and modes of discourse in post-unification Germany. German unification has put the post-war period into a historical perspective. Such a rupture raises questions concerning the appropriate commemoration, preservation and reinterpretation of the past. The processes of reorientation after unification influenced the self-perception of literary authors as well as the social role, position and status of German literature. They also affected the way writers viewed the competition in which they found themselves pitted against visual and electronic media as rival windows on the past. In the...

Theory and Classification of Material Text Cultures

The final volume in the series synthesizes the research conducted by the Heidelberg Collaborative Research Center 933 (SFB 933). Systematized into six topic areas (reflecting on writing, layout and text/image, memory and the archive, material transformation, sanctification, and rule and administration), the CRC scholars summarize the knowledge gained from 12 years of interdisciplinary work into 35 theses on a theory of material text cultures.

Local Vino

The art and craft of winemaking has put down roots in Middle America, where enterprising vintners coax reds and whites from the prairie earth while their businesses stand at the hub of a new tradition of community and conviviality. In Local Vino, James R. Pennell tracks among the hardy vines and heartland terroir of wineries across Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, and Ohio. Blending history and observation, Pennell gives us a top-down view of the business from cuttings and cultivation to sales and marketing. He also invites entrepreneurs to share stories of their ambitions, hard work, and strategies. Together, author and subjects trace the hows and whys of progress toward that noblest of goals: a great vintage that puts their winery on the map.

The Church of Scientology

Scientology's long and complex journey to recognition as a religion Scientology is one of the wealthiest and most powerful new religions to emerge in the past century. To its detractors, L. Ron Hubbard's space-age mysticism is a moneymaking scam and sinister brainwashing cult. But to its adherents, it is humanity's brightest hope. Few religious movements have been subject to public scrutiny like Scientology, yet much of what is written about the church is sensationalist and inaccurate. Here for the first time is the story of Scientology's protracted and turbulent journey to recognition as a religion in the postwar American landscape. Hugh Urban tells the real story of Scientology from its co...

Im zweiten Teil der Tim-Simon-Reihe stellt sich Tim der Herausforderung, ein Unternehmen am Standort Deutschland zu erhalten. Der Betrieb steuert auf eine Katastrophe zu, aber schlechte Kennzahlen, mangelhafte Qualität und flüchtende Kunden werden weiter ignoriert. Demotivierte Mitarbeiter und Vorgesetzte, die nur auf ihren eigenen Vorteil bedacht sind, stellen nicht die einzige Bedrohung dar. Auch von außen drohen Gefahren für das Unternehmen. Auf den ersten Blick wird das alles andere als einfach. Doch bevor Tim endgültig verzweifelt, kehrt eine alte Freundin zurück ... Wie schon im ersten Teil werden Sie in Tims Geschichte Ihre eigenen Kollegen, Vorgesetzten und Manager wiedertreffen - vielleicht sogar sich selbst. Lernen Sie gemeinsam mit Tim, wie sich für komplizierte Situationen einfache Lösungswege erfolgreich umsetzen lassen.

Die letzte Verteidigungslinie

Bis zum Jahr 2015 wurde Deutschland als ein relativ sicheres Land mit stetig sinkender Gewaltkriminalität angesehen. Laut der Polizeilichen Kriminalstatistik aus dem Jahr 2016 änderte sich dieser Trend. Mord und Totschlag stiegen um mehr als 14 Prozent gegenüber dem Vorjahr. Vergewaltigungen und sexuelle Nötigungen stiegen um fast 13 Prozent, und bei gefährlicher und schwerer Körperverletzung verzeichnete man ein Plus von knapp zehn Prozent. Die Polizei hat keine Verpflichtung, für die Bürger den Bodyguard zu spielen. Die Polizei wird ihnen in einer Notsituation selbstverständlich helfen, wenn sie es kann. Wenn sie es aber nicht kann, weil sie nicht direkt am Ort des Geschehens ist,...
