No full textLiterature in film: A novel, Professor Unrat (1905) by Heinrich Mann and a film adaptation, Der blaue Engel (1930) directed by Josef von Sternberg
No full textThis bachelor thesis discusses the personality of Heinrich Mann and the period in which the writer lived. The main goal is to compare the original satirical novel Professor Unrat with its film adaptation, Blue Angel. The conclusion is that the film changed the original intention of the author to a certain extent. Individual chapters also focus on the director of the film of the book, Josef von Sternberg, and the leading actors.

Remembering Paul Johnsgard
No full textPaul A. Johnsgard (1931–2021) was a friend of many, an artist, prolific author, teacher, and humble admirer of all living creatures. It was impossible to find someone at Nebraska Audubon Society or Nebraska Ornithologists’ Union meetings who did not know Paul Johnsgard. His more than 100 published books made him known not just in a community of ornithologists, birdwatchers, and bird lovers in the United States but also abroad. He was a world-renowned ornithologist and naturalist who remained deeply embedded in his local culture and its prairie environment.
We invited about 75 people to write a short memory of Paul. We received about 40 responses, which are published in this book, along with Paul Johnsgard’s own writing on his life. Contributors to this volume include George Archibald, Cherrie Beam-Callaway, Jo D Blessing, Charles Brown, Linda Brown, Jackie Canterbury, John Carlini, Ron Cisar, David Duey, Richard Edwards, Michael Forsberg, Karine Gil, Sue Guild, Twyla Hansen, Chris Helzer, John Janovy, Allison Johnson, Michelle Johnson, Joel Jorgensen, Fujiyo Koizumi, Josef Kren, Thomas Labedz, Kam-Ching Leung, Thomas Mangelsen, Martin Massengale, Julie Masters, Marilyn McNabb, W.

45 years Unterricht in Musik – Attempts at a reconstruction
No full text"Unterricht in Musik" was the title of a groundbreaking publication by the German music educationalist Heinz Antholz in 1970. Did this book – which has found a broad reception ever since – indicate a “paradigm change” as referred to in Thomas S. Kuhn’s “Structure of Scientisic Revolutions”? Or was it part of a new “thought-style collective” according to Ludvik Fleck’s “Thought-Styles and Facts”? Hermann Josef Kaiser, in his 2014 AMPF Lecture, compared these two approaches, inquiring into their possible applicability to the changes in German music education around 1970. The author of this article tries to refine Kaiser’s results by analysing “Unterricht in Musik” and by considering Antholz’ main ideas against the background of discourses in German educational science and music education during that period.

Cello techniques and performing practices in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries
No full textThis thesis comprises a study of cello performance practices throughout the nineteenth century and into the early decades of the twentieth. It is organised in terms of the increasing complexity of the concepts which it examines, as they are to be found in printed and manuscript music, instrumental methods and larger treatises, early recordings, concert reviews and pictures. Basic posture is considered along with different ways of holding the
bow. The development of the tail-pin shows that even when it was widely used, the older posture was still referred to as a model. Some implications for tone quality and tonal
projection are considered in the light of the shape of the arms. Some connections between the cellist's posture and that recommended by etiquette books are explored. The
functionality of the left hand and arm, and the development of modem scale fingerings, show that there was a considerable period of overlap between newer and older practices, with modern scale fingerings evolving over a long period of time. Similarly, views on the function of the right wrist in bowing are shown to change gradually, moving towards a more active upper arm movement with less extreme flexibility of the wrist. Two central expressive techniques especially associated with string playing arc considered in the context of the cello, namely vibrato and portamento. These topics are examined in the light of written indications in music, recommendations in cello treatises, and the practices evidenced in early recordings. The sources for this study can be brought into an overall
framework of a constant dialogue between `theory', as expressed in verbal instructions to the learner, or general a priori reflections about the cello, and `practice', manifested in performing editions and early recordings, or in individual acts of reception. A wide divergence is noted, both between theory and practice in general, and in terms of different styles of playing observable at any one time. It is suggested that tensions between practice
and critical disapproval can be resolved in terms of Lacanian discourse. Several test cases are used in order to compare several different recordings of the same works. The question of the musical character of the cello is discussed in terms of widespread assumptions about its gendered identity. A wide range of sources suggest that this moved from a straightforwardly `masculine' identity expressed through a controlling, elevated eloquence to a less clearly defined one, incorporating the 'feminine', with a greater stress on uninhibited emotional expression. Some performance implications for this change of view are pursued with respect to specific repertoires. Broad conclusions stress the importance of the diversity of performance practices as opposed to unifying generalisations
Education to moral values in the Czech Republic and the USA (California)
No full textanglicky The theses is concerned with the development of moral values of selected thinkers and their followers with the focus on their conception of education to moral values. The author follows the development of moral values from the times of antiquity and its concept of justice, which is exposed in laws of that period. One of the most influent text that has its impact until now is biblical "Ten Commandments". In the next part of the theses author focuses on the development of moral values with thinkers like Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, J. A. Comenius or C. S. Lewis, who had many thoughts and ideas in common. In a different position to moral values stand other important thinkers like J. Dewey, F. Nietzsche or M. Foucault. The next part of the theses refers to contemporary situation in the ethical education in the Czech Republic and the USA (California). Research part of the theses explores the value orientation of the students from the Czech Republic and their peers from the USA (California) with consideration to other factors that can affect the value orientation of the students. The main tool of research is value questionnaire. The research is concerned with the field of traditional values that are passed on from the antient times up to the present day. Furthermore, it is concerned with the..
Peter Schmitz und Josef Ponten : zwei Schriftsteller aus dem deutsch-belgischen Grenzland, 1918-1940 : eine kulturhistorische Studie unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der komparatistischen Imagologie
No full textThis is the first in-depth study about the writers Peter Schmitz (1887-1938) and Josef Ponten (1883-1940). Both were born in Eupen-Malmedy, a territory that in 1919 was assigned to Belgium after more than a hundred years of Prussian rule. National, ethnic or regional auto- and hetero-images – like in many other publications of the time – played an important part in Schmitz’ and Ponten’s works. In order to heighten the awareness of the often subtle ideological impact these images could have on the reader, the chosen writings have been analysed with the help of comparative imagology. Especially Daniel-Henri Pageaux’ theory focusing on discursive analysis and the ideological implications of images was applied for this purpose.
The works of Schmitz and Ponten reflect the complexity of the pluralistic German literary landscape in the 1920’s and 1930’s. They are two examples in case that question firstly the dichotomic thought patterns frequently applied to the intellectuals of the time, secondly the periodical subdivision of German literature according to political changes (i.e. Weimarer Republik, ‘Drittes Reich’, Innere Immigration, Exil). Regarding these two elements, publications of the last decades have shown that there were many interchangeable discourses at that time and that a general change of mood can already be observed around 1930 and not only from 1933 on. This is the case for Josef Ponten. During the 1920’s he was befriended with Thomas Mann, took a stance for the “United States of Europe” and pleaded for a positive image of France in German schoolbooks. In the early 1930’s however, he showed resentfulness towards France and reactivated the old stereotype of the ‘hereditary enemy’ (Erbfeind). According to the image of the French in Ponten’s novels Volk auf dem Wege Roman der deutschen Unruhe (1930-31/1933-1942), Louis XIV, Napoleon and their armies were responsible for the ‘German diaspora’. Chasing ‘German people’ from their land, they forced them to wander around in an endless quest for new territory. The ‘Jewish people’ surprisingly becomes a metaphor that serves to victimize ‘the Germans’. Moreover the dissertations tries with the help of biographical data to clarify Ponten’s ambivalent attitude towards the Nazi-Regime.
The almost forgotten writer Peter Schmitz was the author of an exceptional anti-war-novel entitled Bataillon Eupen-Malmedy/Golgatha (1931/1937). The book, today unavailable and forgotten, is quite a special case: firstly, it was written by a Belgian author who had been a German soldier between 1914 and 1918; secondly it is the only antiwar-novel written in German and published in Belgium; thirdly, the narrator and the protagonists discuss the origins of the war and denounce the ideological use of negative hetero-images in political propaganda. As a journalist, writer and secret agent Schmitz took a fierce stance against Militarism from the late twenties on and tried to fight the secret war-plans of the Third Reich. Him being a key-figure for the Belgian, French and British secret services was one of the major discoveries of this research. When the Wehrmacht invaded Belgium in May 1940 the Gestapo severely interrogated Schmitz’ widow, confiscated Schmitz’ writings and had his body removed from the cemetery of honour in Eupen.Die vorliegende Dissertation ist die erste tief greifende Studie über die Schriftsteller Peter Schmitz (1887-1938) und Josef Ponten (1883-1940). Sie stammten beide aus dem Gebiet Eupen-Malmedy, das 1919 nach rund hundertjähriger preußischer Herrschaft dem belgischen Staat zugesprochen wurde. Wie in vielen literarischen Produktionen der damaligen Zeit, spielen auch in Werken von Peter Schmitz und Josef Ponten nationale, ethnische oder regionale Selbst- und Fremdbilder eine wichtige Rolle. Um auf die bisweilen sehr subtile ideologische Wirkung, die diese ‚Bilder’ auf den Leser haben konnten, aufmerksam zu machen, wurde auf die komparatistische Imagologie zurückgegriffen. Insbesondere Daniel-Henri Pageaux’ Theorie, die den Schwerpunkt auf die Analyse der diskursiven und ideologischen Funktion der ‚Bilder’ legt, wurde dabei berücksichtigt.
Schmitz’ und Pontens Werke spiegeln die Vielfalt der deutschen Literatur in den 1920er und 1930er Jahren wider. Diese zwei Fallbeispiele illustrieren zum einen, die durch die Forschungsergebnisse der letzten Jahrzehnte vorgenommene Infragestellung dichotomischer Denkschemata für die betroffene Zeit. Zum anderen bestätigen sie die ebenfalls durch die jüngere Forschungsliteratur bemerkte Fragwürdigkeit der traditionellen Epochenunterteilung der deutschen Literatur, die politischen Zäsuren folgt (Weimarer Republik, ‘Drittes Reich’, Innere Immigration, Exil). Denn bereits um 1930 – und nicht erst 1933 – kann man einen Stimmungswechsel beobachten.
Ein solcher ist bei Josef Ponten vorzufinden. Während der 1920er Jahre war er mit Thomas Mann befreundet, trat für die Idee der „Vereinigten Staaten von Europa“ ein und sprach sich für positive Frankreichbilder in deutschen Schulbüchern aus. Doch schon zu Beginn der 1930er Jahre legte er Verbitterung gegenüber Frankreich an den Tag und reaktivierte mit seiner Romanreihe Volk auf dem Wege. Roman der deutschen Unruhe (1930-31/1933-1942) das alte Erbfeind-Stereotyp. Das dort gegebene Frankreichbild macht Ludwig XIV., Napoleon und ihre Armeen, indem sie beachtliche Teile des ‚deutschen Volkes’ von ihrem Land vertrieben und zur Suche nach Lebensraum in Russland zwangen, zu Verantwortlichen der ‚deutschen Diaspora’. Das ‚jüdische Volk’ wird überraschenderweise zur Metapher, die zur Opferdarstellung des ‚deutschen Volkes’ dient.
Peter Schmitz war Autor eines außergewöhnlichen Anti-Kriegsromans namens Golgatha (1931/1937). So wie sein Verfasser ist das Buch heute nahezu vergessen. Dabei handelt es sich um einen Sonderfall in mehrerer Hinsicht: Erstens wurde es von einem ehemaligen deutschen Soldaten, der anschließend die belgische Staatsangehörigkeit erhielt, geschrieben; zweitens handelt es sich um den einzigen in Belgien veröffentlichten Kriegsroman in deutscher Sprache; drittens erörtern der Erzähler und die Protagonisten die Kriegsursachen und brandmarken die in der Propaganda instrumentalisierten Feindbilder. Als Journalist, Schriftsteller und Geheimagent brandmarkte Schmitz den Militarismus ab Ende der 1920er Jahre und bekämpfte später die geheimen Kriegspläne des ‚Dritten Reiches’. Die Tatsache, dass er für die belgischen, französischen und britischen Nachrichtendienste eine Schlüsselfigur im Grenzland war, gehört zu den wichtigsten Funden der hier unternommenen Recherchen. Als die Wehrmacht im Mai 1940 in Belgien einfiel, verhörte die Gestapo Schmitz’ Witwe mehrmals, seine Schriften wurden konfisziert und sein Grab vom Eupener Ehrenfriedhof entfernt.(GERM 3) -- UCL, 201
