She studied in Breslau, Munich, Berlin, and Heidelberg and received a social sciences doctorate at Heidelberg before joining the Berlin head office of the "Centralverein Deutscher Staatsbuerger Juedischen Glaubens" in 1924. She also worked as an editor for the influential Jewish journal "Der Morgen, Monatszeitschrift der deutschen Juden". She married the lawyer Hans Reichmann, also a Centralverein functionary, who was one of the initiators of an anti-Nazi propaganda campaign during the last phase of the Weimar Republic. He was arrested after the November Pogrom and sent to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp. When he was released the couple fled to Britain. Hans was interned during the war.Eva Reichmann worked for the BBC. After the war she became director of research at the Wiener Library in London, alerting the British public to the continuing threat of fascism and racism. She worked as author and lecturer for German-Jewish reconciliation, and published many articles. She was one of the founders of the Leo Baeck Institute, set up in London for the study of the history of German Jewry. The book "Hostages of Civilization" (London, 1950; Boston 1951; German title: 'Flucht in den Hass" (1956)) for which she gained a second doctorate from the London School of Economics, is a profound analysis of the Jewish catastrophe in Germany. Hans Reichmann died in 1964. Eva Reichmann was awarded several decorations: the Rosenzweig-Buber medal, the "Moses-Mendelssohn-Preiss" in 1982, and the "Bundesverdienstkreuz' in 1983. Eva's sister Elizabeth Jungmann married Max Beerbohm shortly before he died; she was also secretary to the playwright Gerhard Hauptmann, and a close friend of the poet Rudolf Binding. After the death of Elizabeth, Eva Reichmann became executor of Max Beerbohm's literary estate.see also "Hans Reichmann Collection" AR 2236Photographs removed to Photograph Collectiondigitize

Surfeit. Philosophies of Jürgen Habermas and Jean Baudrillard against the background of St. I. Witkiewicz’s neohumanistic catastrophism
No full textThe paper analyses the category of neo-catastrophism. Postmodern society has launched the mechanisms of self-destruction which are now working not only in interpersonal and communicative relationships, but also in the realms of axiology, ethics and even ontology. According to the author, the main aspects of Jean Baudrillard’s and Jürgen Habermas’ philosophy can be interpreted as containing such neo-catastrophic message. However, as the forerunner of neo-catastrophism in philosophy the author points out Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz (Witkacy), especially his theory of metaphysical feelings and their disappearance in mass society. Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz, known among the philosophy critics as neohumanistic catastrophist, has foreseen many categories which are typical for Habermas’ and Baudrillard’s writings. The neo-catastrophic mechanisms has a serious consequences for the condition of postmodern subject, the more so because the main part of the neocatastrophism is the strong conviction that there is no escape. The author, besides the main thesis mentioned above, highlights some common features between Baudillard’s and Habermas’ conceptions
Die Böhme Fettchemie GmbH von ihrer Gründung bis in die frühe Nachkriegszeit: Für Eure Wäsche ausgezeichnet – Wasch- und Textilhilfsmittel aus Chemnitz –
No full textDie Böhme Fettchemie ging aus der 1881 von Hermann Theodor Böhme errichteten „Drogen-, Farben- und chemische Produktehandlung“ hervor. Am Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts als kleine Verkaufshandlung gegründet, etablierte es sich innerhalb von 50 Jahren zu einem weltbekannten Unternehmen zunächst im Bereich der Textilhilfsmittel. Doch auch im Bereich der Haushaltswaschmittel erreichte es in den 1930er Jahren ebenfalls einen großen Bekanntheitsgrad. Mit der Werbefigur Johanna, die das weltweit erste synthetische Waschmittel „Fewa“ anpries, war es der Firma gelungen, ein breites Publikum auf sich aufmerksam zu machen. Neben der Unternehmensgeschichte – von der Gründung bis in die Mitte der 1940er Jahre – gibt die Autorin Ivonne Reichmann mit dem vorliegenden Werk Auskunft über soziale und wirtschaftliche Aspekte der Böhme Fettchemie. Die einzelnen, chronologisch gegliederten Kapitel erschließen die bauliche Erweiterung, die Mitarbeiterstruktur, den Ausbau der Produktpalette sowie die weltweite Ausdehnung des Unternehmens. Deren Werbemaßnahmen spielen dabei ebenso eine Rolle wie die Übernahme durch den Henkel-Konzern in den 1930er Jahren. Mit dieser Studie wird eine Forschungslücke zum bisher wenig betrachteten Bereich der chemischen Industrie im südwestsächsischen Raum geschlossen.:1. Fragestellung und Methode

6. NachkriegsjahreBöhme Fettchemie emerged from a 'drugs, dyes and chemical products shop' established by Hermann Theodor Böhme in 1881. Founded at the end of the 19th century as a small sales business, it established itself within 50 years as a world-famous company, initially in the field of textile auxiliaries. But also in the field of household laundry detergents it achieved a high degree of recognition in the 1930s. With the advertising figure Johanna, who praised the world's first synthetic detergent 'Fewa', the company succeeded in attracting the attention of a wide audience. In addition to the company's history – from its foundation to the mid-1940s – the author Ivonne Reichmann provides information about the social and economic aspects of Böhme Fettchemie with this work. The individual, chronologically structured chapters reveal the structural expansion, the employee structure, the expansion of the product range as well as the worldwide expansion of the company. Their advertising measures play just as much a role as the takeover by the Henkel Group in the 1930s. This study closes a research gap to the hitherto little considered area of the chemical industry in southwest Saxony.:1. Fragestellung und Methode

"Cronica der Turckey" Sebastian Franck's Translation of the "Tractatus de Moribus, Condicionibus et Nequitia Turcorum" by Georgius de Hungaria
No full textThe Tractatus de moribus, condicionibus et nequitia Turcorum is one of the most important first-hand accounts of life in fifteenth-century Turkey known to modern scholarship. It is the work of a Christian former slave of the Turks, writing after his return to the West. Although the author does not name himself, he can be identified as a
Dominican priest, Georgius de Hungaria, who died in Rome in 1502. His Tractatus is conceived as a work of anti-Islamic polemic, yet it contains a surprisingly unbiased appraisal of Turkish customs.
First printed c.1480 when European apprehension in the face of Ottoman expansion was at its height, the Tractatus was reprinted in numerous editions, and was widely used as a
source by other authors. Luther edited the text in 1530, using the positive account of Turkish customs and religious observance as a weapon in his polemic against the Roman
Catholic Church: if heathens could perform such exemplary works, who could fail to doubt the efficacy of works as a means of salvation?
Sebastian Franck in his German translation of the Tractatus went further: replacing Georgius' commentary with his own, he used the text to attack institutional religion as a
whole and to promote his concept of a non-dogmatic, spiritual Church of individuals united with each other only through their union with God -a Church which was not closed to Moslems or members of any other creed. This translation or adaptation, the Cronica der Türckey, marks Franck's decisive break with the Lutheran cause and the beginning of his lonely path as a 'spiritual individualist'. Franck reworked his translation of the Tractatus for his major geographical work, the Weltbuch of 1534.
This thesis concerns itself primarily with Franck's Cronica, providing the first modern critical edition of this text, in a near-diplomatic transcription with an extensive glossary. The thesis also includes transcriptions of the Tractatus; of Türckei, an anonymous translation of the Tractatus, and of relevant additional material from Franck's Weltbuch. None of these texts has been published in full in a modern edition.
In the Introduction Franck's Cronica is compared in detail with the Tractatus, highlighting the changes that occur in translation; the character and the significance of these changes are then discussed. It is established that Franck, whilst being unwilling to reverse any of Georgius' value judgements on Islam and Turkish culture, is highly selective in his choice of material for translation, and frequently gives the text new nuances and adds his own
comment. The question of the Tractatus' influence on Franck's further development as a writer and thinker is also raised.
The investigation then turns to Franck's use of the Tractatus material in his Weltbuch. His eclecticism becomes apparent in this text, in which Georgius' account is juxtaposed - but not synthesised - with material from other sources, often of lesser veracity and greater anti-Islamic bias. Franck's distortion of the Tractatus material to suit his own line of argument is clearly discernible: from the unique phenomenon presented in the Tractatus the Turks
become one more example of the general human tendency to externalise and dogmatise faith.
In addition, the transmission of Cronica and Türckei is examined, and the relationship between these two translations is clarified: Franck certainly used Türckei in writing his Cronica, but is unlikely to be the author of the anonymous work
O Hic Fuit Ernani Reichmann : dispersão e angústia subjugada nas cartas de 1939 a 1955
No full textOrientadora: Profa Dra Roseli BoschiliaTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Setor de Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em História. Defesa : Curitiba, 05/02/2021Inclui referências: p. 262-275Resumo: O tema da angústia foi expresso pelo filósofo Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) em obras como O desespero humano (de 1849), e pseudonímica, como O conceito de angústia (de Vigilius Haufniensis, em 1844). Essa foi a ordem em que Ernani Corrêa Reichmann (1920-84) se encontrou com o filósofo subjetivo, e apropriou-se do termo identificando-o e superando-o em si: momento privilegiado da sua Angústia Subjugada. Como um kierkegaardiano redivivus, elaborou um pensamento próprio, defendendo que não era filósofo, mas que através de "van der Lubbe" (seu pseudônimo kierkegaardiano), "Sorte Peer" e "van Neutgen", pretendia contribuir com um pensamento pessoal: sua filosofia da dispersão. Dedicou-se a obra do dinamarquês com traduções, ensaios, exegese e palestras de divulgação em um momento nacional em que o pensador não passava de um nome distante ("até conhecido, mas pouco lido", comenta Alvaro Valls - na década de 1980). Contudo, é ainda muito reducionista acreditar que sua maior contribuição tenha sido uma filosofia subjetiva e indireta! O riograndense, de Passo Fundo, foi advogado, economista, administrador, além de um profícuo escritor diletante. Atuou como deputado pelo PRP-RS, professor de economia na Universidade do Paraná, em governos paranaenses como o Bento Munhoz da Rocha e Ney Braga, além de ter feito parte do CODESUL-BRDE (a pedido do então Governador riograndense Leonel Brizola). Os fatos de sua vida, os encontros no século - não apenas com Kierkegaard, mas também com Dostoiévski (1821-1881), Strindberg (1849-1912), Gide (1869-1951), através principalmente de diários e cartas -, e a escrita autobiográfica ajudaram a definir sua dispersão em uma terra de ninguém - entre a literatura e a filosofia. Hic Fuit significa "isso foi", além de ser o título dado ao primeiro escrito do ortônimo, publicado em 1955. Aleatoriamente organizadas pelo personagem, as notas definem a minha fonte principal e recorte temporal: 1939 a 1955. A[s] carta[s] revelam uma temporalidade compreensiva, entrecortada por espaços afetivos, narradas ao destinatário Clementino Schiavon Puppi (1919-1985) - amigo e guia de sua Experiência de Personagem. Fazendo uso de um campo conceitual que entrecruza ferramentas expressivas e analíticas, internas (dado pelo meu biografado), e externas (oriundas do debate interdisciplinar com Mikhail Bakhtin, Leonor Arfuch e Sabina Loriga) na análise empírica. Proponho como tese: a reconstrução da presença dispersa, aleatoriamente reunida no Hic Fuit Ernani Reichmann, com o intuito de tornar acessível a primeira etapa da Experiência de Personagem, que se caracterizou pela Angústia Subjugada. Nesse sentido, a exposição está organizada em cronotopos (Bakhtin), auto/biográficos (Arfuch, Bakhtin), corais (Loriga, Bakhtin) - a escolha nesse sentido se justifica pela condição híbrida das fontes, e porque a complexidade da performance autobiográfica de Reichmann exigia). Palavras-Chave: Ernani Reichmann. Søren Kierkegaard. Angústia Subjugada. Experiência de Personagem. Dispersão. Terra de ninguém. Cronotopo Auto/Biográfico Coral.Abstract: The theme of anguish was expressed by the philosopher Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) in works such as The Human Despair (1849), and pseudonymic, such as The Concept of Anguish (by Vigilius Haufniensis, in 1844). This was the order in which Ernani Corrêa Reichmann (1920-84) met with the subjective philosopher and appropriated the term by identifying and overcoming him: a privileged moment of his Subjugated Anguish. As a "Kierkegaardian redivivus", he elaborated his own thought, arguing that he was not a philosopher, but that through "van der Lubbe" (his Kierkegaardian pseudonym), "Sorte Peer" e "van Neutgen" he intended to contribute with a personal thought: his philosophy of dispersion. He dedicated his work to the Danish author with translations, essays, exegesis and publicizing lectures at a national moment when Kierkegaard was nothing more than a distant name ("even known, but little read", comments Alvaro Valls - in the 1980s). However, it is still very reductionist to believe that your greatest contribution has been a subjective and indirect philosophy! Born in Passo Fundo, in Rio Grande do Sul state, was a lawyer, economist, administrator, as well as a prolific writer. He served as deputy for PRP-RS, lectured economics at University of Paraná, worked in Paraná governments with Bento Munhoz da Rocha and Ney Braga, in addition to being part of CODESUL-BRDE (at the request of the Governor Leonel Brizola). The facts of his life, the meetings in the century - not only with Kierkegaard, but also with Dostoyevsky (1821-1881), Strindberg (1849- 1912), Gide (1869-1951), mainly through diaries and letters -, and autobiographical writing, helped to define its dispersion in a no-man's-land - between literature and philosophy. Hic Fuit means "that was", in addition to being the title given to the first written by the orthonym, published in 1955. The letter[s] reveal a comprehensive temporality, interspersed with affective spaces, narrated to the recipient Clementino Schiavon Puppi (1919-1985) - friend and guide, of his Character Experience. Making use of a conceptual field that intertwines expressive and analytical tools, internal (given by my biographer), and external (from the interdisciplinary debate with Mikhail Bakhtin, Leonor Arfuch and Sabina Loriga) in the empirical analysis. I propose as a thesis: the reconstruction of the dispersed presence, randomly gathered in the Hic Fuit Ernani Reichmann, in order to make accessible the first stage of the Character Experience, which was characterized by Subjugated Anguish. In this sense, the exhibition is organized in chronotopes (Bakhtin), auto/biographical (Arfuch, Bakhtin), corals (Loriga, Bakhtin) - the choice in this sense is justified by the hybrid condition of the sources, and because the complexity of Reichmann's autobiographical performance required). Keywords: Ernani Reichmann. Søren Kierkegaard. Subdued Anguish. Character Experience. Dispersal. No-man's land. Chronotope Auto/Biographical Coral
Experimental Analysis of the Performance of Optimized Fin Structures in a Latent Heat Energy Storage Test Rig
No full textEnergy storage systems are a key technology for developing a more sustainable energy supply system and lowering overall CO2 emissions. Among the variety of storage technologies, high temperature phase change material (PCM) storage is a promising option with a wide range of applications. PCM storages using an extended finned tube storage concept have been designed and techno-economically optimized for solar thermal power plant operations. These finned tube components were experimentally tested in order to validate the optimized design and simulation models used. Analysis of the charging and discharging characteristics of the storage at the pilot scale gives insight into the heat distribution both axially as well as radially in the storage material, thereby allowing for a realistic validation of the design. The design was optimized for discharging of the storage, as this is the more critical operation mode in power plant applications. The data show good agreement between the model and the experiments for discharging
