Images Of Migration And Change In The German-Language Poetry Of Galsan Tschinag, Richard Hacken
Images Of Migration And Change In The German-Language Poetry Of Galsan Tschinag, Richard Hacken
Faculty Publications
Presented March 25, 2004, at the European presentation for Migrations in Society, Culture, and the Library held in Paris. Migration in the works of Galsan Tschinag could be discussed on a number of levels. The first is an actual geographic migration documented in the published diaries of Tschinag. The next level of migration could be a linguistic migration of ideas and words from Tschinag's native Tuvan language which has no written script sometimes to Mongolian, but most often to German. The main focus is on the diverse images of migration in his German-language poetry, often illustrating transmigration of spirits between …

Introduction: The Swiss Protestant Reformation
Swiss American Historical Society Review
On November 28th , 2002 the innocent family Lieu awoke to begin another day of prayer, devotion and work in their hometown of Danane in the Ivory Coast, West Africa.

A Review Of Eric Till's Film Luther, Edmund J. Campion
A Review Of Eric Till's Film Luther, Edmund J. Campion
Swiss American Historical Society Review
This is a very curious movie about the great German reformer Martin Luther (1483-1546) that pleased neither Protestants nor Catholics. This is not to say that this film by the prolific director Eric Till is without value. The quality of the cinematography is extraordinary. The outside scenes were filmed in well-preserved late medieval churches, monasteries, and castles and this enables viewers to learn about early modem architecture in central Europe. Many scenes were actually filmed in the Czech Republic perhaps because production costs are significantly more expensive in Germany than in the Czech Republic. The major reason for seeing this …

Swiss American Historical Society Review
If the editor dares to enter here [in Geschichte und Leben der Schweizer Kolonien] the list of American-Swiss natural scientists, he does not do it because he assumes to have achieved a name among them, but because he has pursued studies in that field for more than twenty years.
