God, Union And Liberty: The Military As The Key Player In Costa Rica, 1820-1824, Aaron Arguedas Jun 1998

God, Union And Liberty: The Military As The Key Player In Costa Rica, 1820-1824, Aaron Arguedas

Dissertations and Theses

In Costa Rica at the time of independence a central government did not exist, and even after its organization, it remained very weak. Due to this fact military officers stepped forward to control and govern each town. After controlling each town military officers fought for political control of the country. During these years to become a military officer was the best professional career to follow. Military officers were looked upon with respect, fear and power. As a result military culture became the social realm which controlled towns and guided state formation in the 1820s.

Before and after independence in Costa …

Book Review: Backstage Domains: Playing "William Tell" In Two Swiss Communities, Donald G. Tritt Jun 1998

Book Review: Backstage Domains: Playing "William Tell" In Two Swiss Communities, Donald G. Tritt

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Written by a folklore scholar, this book is a detailed, behind-the-scenes account of the many aspects required for staging Schiller's play, William Tell. To accomplish this, the author undertakes a comparative approach by studying production of the play in two Swiss communities, Altdorf and Interlaken - communities the author sees as "culturally distinct and each embodying different values of Swiss society." The author notes that Altdorf tends to be the guardian of Tell's memory while Interlaken functions at the forefront of Swiss tourism. Separate chapters on each of these two Swiss communities provides an interesting historical account of the area …

Book Review: The American Century: Varieties Of Culture In Modern Times, Fred Jordan Jun 1998

Book Review: The American Century: Varieties Of Culture In Modern Times, Fred Jordan

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Western civilization today is very technologically proficient but lacks the dynamic and creative ideas needed to launch a new cultural revolution. Bereft of a unique vision, our post-modern culture nostalgically borrows from the past, mining especially the gems of modernism. This exciting book by Norman F. Cantor, Professor of History, Sociology and Comparative History at New York University, is replete with such incisive observations. The work covers the whole gamut of twentieth century cultural history. Its core is a stimulating chapter on modernism which includes literature, theater, dance, drama, music, the visual arts, the social and behavioral sciences, history, theology, …
