Material Culture in Modern Diplomacy from the 15th to the 20th Century
The present volume aims at outlining a new field of research with regard to the history of diplomacy: the material culture of diplomatic interaction in early modern and modern times. The material culture of diplomacy includes all practices in foreign policy communication in which single artifacts, samples of artifacts, or else the whole material setting of diplomatic interaction is supposed to be constitutive for creating an intended effect in terms of diplomatic objectives. The chapters of this volume focus on intercultural diplomacy in different regions of the world wherein diplomatic actors of various kinds might have been confronted by a whole universe of unfamiliar artifacts and artifac...
Erasures and Eradications in Modern Viennese Art, Architecture and Design
Erasures and Eradications in Modern Viennese Art, Architecture and Design challenges the received narrative on the artists, exhibitions, and interpretations of Viennese Modernism. The book centers on three main erasures—the erasure of Jewish artists and critics; erasures relating to gender and sexual identification; and erasures of other marginalized figures and movements. Restoring missing elements to the story of the visual arts in early twentieth-century Vienna, authors investigate issues of gender, race, ethnic and sexual identity, and political affiliation. Both well-studied artists and organizations—such as the Secession and the Austrian Werkbund, and iconic figures such as Klimt a...
Realisms of the Avant-Garde
The historical avant-gardes defined themselves largely in terms of their relationship to various versions of realism. At first glance modernism primarily seems to take a counter-position against realism, yet a closer investigation reveals that these relations are more complex. This book is dedicated to the links between realism, modernism and the avant-garde in their international context from the late 19th century up to the present day.

Der Autor-Künstler
Trotz der demonstrativen Verkündung seines »Todes« oder seiner Reduzierung auf eine bloße »Funktion« des Textes hört der Autor nicht auf, die Debatten der Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaften zu beherrschen. Plagiatsaffären und die immer dominanter werdende Tendenz einer Ersetzung seiner Werkherrschaft des »copyrights« durch die Idee von »open sources« schwächen seine Machtposition, die er als europäischer Gründungsmythos vom schöpferischen Individuum gewonnen hat. Entstanden in der Renaissance aus der Verbindung der Vorstellung einer Autorisierung durch den Autor als Urheber mit der Idee vom Künstler als Verkörperung eines kreativen Erfindergeistes, entfaltet sich dieser Gr...

Der Neckar
An den Ufern des Neckars, zwischen dem Schwenninger Moos und Mannheim, hat sich seit dem Mittelalter eine einzigartige Kulturlandschaft gebildet, die besonders im 19. und 20.Jahrhundert europäische Bedeutung gewann. Kaum eine Region hat für die intellektuelle Entwicklung Deutschlands eine vergleichbare Rolle gespielt, man denke nur an Hölderlin und Schiller, Waiblinger und Mörike, Kerner und Uhland, aber auch an Berthold Auerbach, Hilde Domin, Hermann Lenz und Siegfried Unseld. Tübingen und Heidelberg, Esslingen und Stuttgart, Ludwigsburg und Marbach – Jan Bürgers anschaulich, kenntnisreich und farbig erzähltes Buch über die historisch-kulturellen Dimensionen des Neckartals, das dem Flusslauf folgt und die zentralen Orte beschreibt, fordert geradezu dazu auf, selbst die Reise den Neckar entlang anzutreten.
No Hamlets
No Hamlets is the first critical account of the role of Shakespeare in the intellectual tradition of the political right in Germany from the founding of the Empire in 1871 to the "Bonn Republic" of the Cold War era. In this sustained study, Andreas Hofele begins with Friedrich Nietzsche and follows the rightist engagement with Shakespeare to the poet Stefan George and his circle, including Ernst Kantorowicz, and the literary efforts of the young Joseph Goebbels during the Weimar Republic, continuing with the Shakespeare debate in the Third Reich and its aftermath in the controversy over "inner emigration" and concluding with Carl Schmitt's Shakespeare writings of the 1950s. Central to this e...
A Companion to the Works of Hugo Von Hofmannsthal
The Viennese poet, dramatist, and prose writer Hugo von Hofmannsthal (1874-1929) was among the most celebrated men of letters in the German language at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century. His early poems established his reputation as the `child prodigy' of German letters, and a few remain among the most anthologized in the German language. His early lyric dramas prompted no less a judge than T. S. Eliot to pronounce him, along with Yeats and Claudel, one of the three European writers who had done the most to revive verse drama in modern times. His critical essays attest to the subtle powers of discrimination that marked him as one of the most discerning literary critics of the day. And...
