Die Frauen, Der Strafvollzug, Und Der Staat: Incarceration And Ideology In Post-Wwii Germany, Andrea Moody Kozak
Scripps Senior Theses
This thesis explores how the material reality of Germany's women's prisons has been largely determined by their ideological foundations, and by the historical developments that have produced these ideologies. The German women's prison system is complex and imperfect, yet in many ways very progressive. It is the result of the last sixty years of tumultuous German history, and has been uniquely shaped by the capitalist and communist histories of the once-divided state. In its current state, it seems to have incorporated elements of a supposedly “rational” or individualistic conception of humanity as well as one that is relational and interdependent, …

Die Ehre, Die Katharina Nie Hatte. Die Rolle Der Frau In Heinrich Bölls Die Verlorene Ehre Der Katharina Blum, Scott Olson
Undergraduate German Research Conference
Das zentrale Thema der Erzählung Die verlorene Ehre der Katharina Blum von Heinrich Böll handelt von der Macht der Boulevardpresse und wie sich Gewalt aus dieser Macht entwickeln kann. Diese Thematik wird durch das Leben der Hauptfigur Katharina Blum gezeigt, weil sie ein Opfer dieser Macht darstellt. Ihre Figur ist aber auch Opfer einer anderen Macht. Das Patriarchat spielt eine wichtige Rolle in Katharinas Leben und in dem gesellschaftlichen Milieu dieses zeitgenössischen, deutschen Klassikers. Dieser Vortrag analysiert die Figur Katharina Blum hinsichtlich ihrer Darstellung als Frau. Es wird amerikanische feministische Theorie auf ihre Figur, im Besonderen die Archetypen „die Nonne“ …

An Austrian Identity Crisis: Conservative Thought, Political Posters, And Questions Of National Identity During The First Republic.,

An Austrian Identity Crisis: Conservative Thought, Political Posters, And Questions Of National Identity During The First Republic., Meyer Weinshel
German and Russian Studies Honors Projects
The political writings of Karl Lueger and Georg Ritter von Schönerer, the founders of the Austrian Christian Social and German National Parties, shaped the right-wing political discourse regarding national identity after the Austro-Hungarian Ausgleich in 1867. As Habsburg hegemony in Central Europe crumbled after the First World War, this conservative political discourse concerning Austrian identity was resurrected in the political posters of the Austrian First Republic. Through an examination of Christian Social and German National constructions of national identity in both pre- and post-World War I Austria, this paper seeks to determine the role that conservative constructions of Austrian National …

The Day Without Evening: Leo Perutz, Evariste Galois, And Augustine, Andrea Albrecht
Journal of Humanistic Mathematics
The biography and historiography of Galois abound with conterfactual imaginations of how the course of mathematics would have been altered, had he not died so young. In the little know short story „The Day Without Evening,“ published in 1924, the Jewish-Austrian writer Leo Perutz essentially reiterates the usual narrative of the events leading to Galois‘ death, masked only by changing the name of the protagonist to Durval and transposing the setting to the Vienna of the beginning of the 20th century. But he is also wary of such counterfactual imaginations. This can be understood in the context of Augustine‘s …

His Name Is Not Tadzio, Or Death In Marseilles: Anna Seghers’S Transit, Eckhard Rolz
School of American and Global Studies Faculty Publications with a Focus on Modern Languages and Global Studies
Anna Seghers’s novel Transit was widely praised by critics, especially in the former German Democratic Republic. Heinrich Böll even regards it as the most beautiful novel Anna Seghers ever wrote. A close analysis of the text, however, reveals many lose ends, one-dimensional characters, stereotypical descriptions of people, and subjects who act irrationally and strange. It is a platform for preaching her political views intermixed with Greek Mythology and Christian imagery. In addition, she borrows heavily from Thomas Mann’s Death in Venice, but fails to reach the sophistication Mann’s novel exhibits.

Geworfenheit Und Prometheische Scham Im Zeitalter Der Transhumanen Kybernetik Technik Und Machenschaft Bei Martin Heidegger, Fritz Lang Und Günther Anders, Babette Babich
Articles and Chapters in Academic Book Collections
Untersucht werden soll hier die Wirkung Heideggers auf Günther Anders. Dabei spiegelt Anders eine ganze Etappe Wirkungsgeschichte, denn er war Schüler von Husserl sowie von Paul Tillich – und zudem, vielleicht am wichtigsten, weil diese Beziehung die schwierigste ist, auch von Theodor W. Adorno.2 Günther Anders, der damals noch Günther Stern hieß, könnte eigentlich als eine Art Verkörperung der Phänomenologie gelten, war doch gerade er sowohl hermeneutisch geschult als auch ein früher Anhänger der Frankfurter Schule – als beide noch in anfänglichem Glanz und Fülle strahlten. Eigentlich aber reden wir gar nicht über Heidegger und seine Schüler, außer in der …

A New Frontier In The Eighteenth Century: Karl Philipp Moritz And The Exploration Of The Human Mind, Eckhard Rolz
School of American and Global Studies Faculty Publications with a Focus on Modern Languages and Global Studies
The 18th century brought about a new and different interest in the workings of the human mind. Karl Philipp Moritz and others retrospectively examined their childhoods in order to recognize ailments of the soul or what we would call psychological disorders. Moritz believed that childhood holds the key to understanding the adult mind. In order to promote such introspection, Moritz published a psychological journal, ΓNΩΘI ΣAYTON oder Magazin zur Erfahrungsseelenkunde als ein Lesebuch für Gelehrte und Ungelehrte, from 1783 to 1793. He urged his readers to submit reports and anecdotes—essentially case studies— from their lives of unusual and out of …

The Tales Of The Grimm Brothers In Colombia: Introduction, Dissemination, And Reception, Alexandra Michaelis-Vultorius
Wayne State University Dissertations
The Grimms' Kinder- und Hausmärchen or Children's and Household Tales are probably the best-known written collection of folk tales worldwide. The reception of the stories, however, varies greatly both at an individual and at a collective level. Several studies have examined the reception of the tales in Europe, Asia, and North America, but so far no broad-based study exists for Latin America. This dissertation fills this gap by examining the introduction, propagation, translations, and reception of the Grimm tales in Colombia.
