Übergänge Zwischen Künsten Und Kulturen.’ Die Heine-Schumann Tagung In Düsseldorf, Solibakke Ivan Karl, Florian Trabert

Karl Ivan Solibakke

Heinrich Heine und Robert Schumann begegneten sich nur für wenige Stunden am 8. Mai 1828 in München. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt hatte der bereits berühmte Dichter seine Heimatstadt Düsseldorf seit einem guten Jahrzehnt verlassen, während der 17jährige Komponist noch nicht ahnen konnte, dass seine musikalische Laufbahn einst in der gleichen Stadt enden sollte.

Dead Center: Berlin, The Postmodern Gothic, And Norman Ohler's Mitte, Steffen H. Hantke Jun 2006

Dead Center: Berlin, The Postmodern Gothic, And Norman Ohler's Mitte, Steffen H. Hantke

Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature

Cultural critics often frame present-day Berlin as a space of historical discontinuities, a nexus of modernity and postmodernity that, in its orientation toward the future, represents post-reunification Germany in all its complexity. However, this framing tends to suppress Gothic imagery, of which traces can be found in the critical discourse on the city. Recuperating such Gothic tropes from critical discourse, and then consciously and strategically re-deploying them, can be a valuable strategy for opening up new venues of thinking about the lingering presence of the past, the high cost of modernization, and the uncanny emotional and affective dimensions of urban …


Expressionism, Futurism, And The Dream Of Mass Democracy, Douglas Brent Mcbride Jun 2006

Expressionism, Futurism, And The Dream Of Mass Democracy, Douglas Brent Mcbride

Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature

This essay throws new light on a radical tendency in cultural modernism by analyzing the role of a single metaphor—the figure of politics as a stage—in political debates among German Expressionists and Italian Futurists before World War I. As the essay argues, this trope was used to critique liberalism's limited notion of popular rule and envision how disenfranchised masses might develop the political subjectivity needed to create a truly mass democracy. While the essay demonstrates that Futurists and Expressionists failed to develop a clear vision of what form mass democracy might take, it concludes that they agreed on one point. …

Vilma Weber Von Webenau : Die Marienlieder, Sommerlieder Für Streichquartett Und Eine Sprechstimme, Carolyn Dehdari Apr 2006

Vilma Weber Von Webenau : Die Marienlieder, Sommerlieder Für Streichquartett Und Eine Sprechstimme, Carolyn Dehdari

Undergraduate Honors Theses

Vilma von Webenau (1875-1953) is not only worthy of study because of her connection with teacher Arnold Schoenberg. Her music is unique in the era of fin-de-siecle Vienna, but it also holds interest today because of its atmoshpheric and durational complexity, self-composed texts, and harmonic ambiguities. This critical edition seeks not only to present two of WEbenau's seventy works, but also to place Webenau in her historical and musical context. Exploring the aspects of Viennese modernism and the world that created it, I wish to give background to Webenau's life, of which so little is known. In trying to understand …
