AHC interview with Peter Bela Neubauer.
No full textPeter B. Neubauer was born in the small Jewish community of Krems an der Donau, Austria on July 5, 1913 as son of the liberal rabbi and teacher Samuel Neubauer and his wife Rosa Neubauer. As outsiders he and his siblings soon recognized their affiliation with the Socialist Youth Movement in a region of Austria which was then considered the stronghold of Catholic conservatism and (at that time illegal) National Socialism. Later they joined the Zionist youth organization of Hashomer Hatzair, which prepared them for emigration to Palestine. Because of their Jewish background and their political activities they left Austria even before the 'Anschluss' in 1938. His sister Ruth Gunzberg became a founding member of a kibbutz in Palestine, while his brother Siegfried Neubauer was killed in the line of duty while serving in a contigent of the British Army in North Africa. As the leader of the Jewish community his father stayed in Krems until he was arrested after the Germans invaded and the National Socialists took over. He managed to escape illegally to Palestine - Rosa Neubauer deceased after a short illness in 1936. Reading Siegmund Freud, Karl Marx and other theorists of the time Peter B. Neubauer never felt comfortable with the petty bourgeoisie of his place of birth. After the rise of antisemitism in the Austrian public and the political situation he left Vienna for Bern, Switzerland in 1933, where he continued studing psychiatry at the medical school and was influenced by the theories of Anna Freud and other psychiatrists. Finally, he immigrated to the United States in 1941, where he established his professional career and became one of the founders of modern pediatric psychiatry. He has received international recognition and honors as professor at the City University of New York, Columbia University and Hebrew University in Jerusalem, as well as through his numerous publications and lectures.Austrian Heritage CollectionDigital recordin

Spinopyrgus luismaedai sp. nov., by present designation. Diagnosis. See diagnosis of the type species (monotypic). Etymology. The generic name is derived from the combination of two words from Latin and Greek language: spino, referring to the strong spines, and pyrgus, related to the tower-like shape.Published as part of Czaja, Alexander, Covich, Alan P., Neubauer, Thomas A., Estrada-Rodríguez, José Luis, Ávila-Rodríguez, Verónica & Mata, Jorge Sáenz, 2022, A new freshwater snail genus and species (Gastropoda: Caenogastropoda, Cochliopidae) with extremely spinous shells from sub-recent spring deposits in northeastern Mexico, pp. 472-480 in Zootaxa 5169 (5) on page 474, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5169.5.5, http://zenodo.org/record/695267
Die Musikfeste des Allgemeinen Deutschen Musikvereins von 1859 bis 1937: (Eine Dokumentation der Veranstaltungen). Kritische Edition
No full textOhne das fast achtzigjährige Wirken des Allgemeinen Deutschen Musikvereins (ADMV) würde das deutsche Musikleben in seiner heutigen Form nicht existieren. Die Dokumentation der Programme zu seinen von 1859 bis 1937 nahezu jährlich anderen Orts veranstalteten Musikfesten erschließt erstmals grundlegende Quellen hierzu. Diese Datenbasis vertieft für den Zeitraum von vier deutschen Systemen den Diskurs über Probleme der Repertoirebildung, Institutionalisierung, Kommerzialisierung und Mediation von Musik. 1861 als erster überregionaler deutscher Musikverein mit dem offiziellen Ziel der Integration musikalisch gegensätzlicher zeitgenössischer Richtungen und künstlerischen Nachwuchsförderung konstituiert, trat der ADMV einerseits kosmopolitisch auf, und seine Musikfeste entwickelten sich zu einem Forum für internationale zeitgenössische Musik wie einem Podium für die Wiederentdeckung älterer Musik. Hier erlebten Werke von Richard Strauss, Gustav Mahler und Arnold Schönberg frühe, vielbeachtete Aufführungen. Anderseits reiften parallel dazu protonationalistische Tendenzen zu einem Nationalismus heran, der die Musikfeste 1938 nahtlos in die nationalsozialistischen Reichsmusiktage überführen konnte. Nach zahlreichen Standortwechseln sind die nunmehr restaurierten Materialien der einstigen Vereinsbibliothek und Vereinsakten im Hochschularchiv / Thüringischen Landesmusikarchiv Weimar sowie Goethe- und Schiller-Archiv Weimar wieder zugänglich. So wird jetzt eine erste kritische Edition der Festprogramme angeboten, in welcher die Programmfolge zu jeder Aufführung mit Werkangaben und dem Nachweis der Aufführenden prozessual von der Planung bis zur Präzisierung und Ergänzung bzw. Modifizierung rekonstruiert wurde. Darüber hinaus werden alle wissenschaftlichen Vorträge, Haupt- u. a. Versammlungen, Beratungen und die gesamten Personalia des Vereins und der jeweiligen Lokalkomitees dokumentiert sowie lassen sich Komponisten und Interpreten über Indizes erschließen. Diese Publikation ist im von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft geförderten Projekt Der Allgemeine Deutsche Musikverein (ADMV, 1861–1937) – ein internationales Forum der Musik in Deutschlands Mitte am Gemeinsamen Institut für Musikwissenschaft Weimar-Jena der Hochschule für Musik FRANZ LISZT und der Friedrich-Schiller-Universität entstanden

Pyrgula derzhavini Logvinenko et Starobogatov, 1968 — Kantor & Sysoev 2006: 99, pl. 45, fig. J. ? Ulskia derzhavini (Logvinenko & Starobogatov, 1969) — Wesselingh et al. 2019: 73. Type material. Kantor & Sysoev (2006: 99) stated that in ZIN no identified material of this species is found. We detected a lot in the ZIN collection of Starobogatov with six specimens and determined as “ Caspia derzhavini ”. Since this material is a single lot that was labelled by Starobogatov himself it is very likely the type material. Type locality. Caspian Sea, probably near Cheleken Peninsula (Table 1, locality 21). Other material. None. Remarks. The shells of this species have a very slender elongate shape, and the protoconch ornamentation differs largely of that found in Caspiinae, showing irregular spiral threads on a smooth surface. Shape and protoconch features strongly remind of Laevicaspia (Neubauer et al. 2018). The small size and the short shell with only about five whorls suggest L. derzhavini is a juvenile Laevicaspia, and it might well be a synonym of a previously described Laevicaspia species. This problem cannot be properly solved from the material available for the species, which is why we consider L. derzhavini as a nomen dubium. Distribution. Middle and South Caspian Sea, 45–81 m (Logvinenko & Starobogatov 1969). Tarasov (1996b) mentioned the species from 311– 870 m.Published as part of Anistratenko, Vitaliy V., Neubauer, Thomas A., Anistratenko, Olga Yu., Kijashko, Pavel V. & Wesselingh, Frank P., 2021, A revision of the Pontocaspian gastropods of the subfamily Caspiinae (Caenogastropoda: Hydrobiidae), pp. 151-197 in Zootaxa 4933 (2) on page 186, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4933.2.1, http://zenodo.org/record/455014

Holotype: RGM 1309839: 1.81 x 1.80 mm (shell height x width; Fig. 4b, c, h). Paratypes: RGM 1309840: 1.52 x 1.44 mm (Fig. 4a, d, g); LV 201509 (MSU): 1.54 x 1.55 mm (Fig. 4e, f, i). Type locality. Selitrennoye, Astrakhan region, Russia (Table 1, locality 1); northern Caspian Basin; GPS coordinates: 47°10’21.19”N, 47°26’25.41”E (WGS84). Age. Hyrcanian, early Late Pleistocene, c. 107 ± 7 ka (van de Velde et al. 2020). Other material. 36 specimens (RGM 1310206). Etymology. Referring to the supposed position as predecessor to modern Andrusovia. The name is a noun in apposition. Diagnosis. Low trochiform, conical, comparably large Andrusovia with up to four well rounded whorls, wide umbilicus, broadly ovoid aperture, weakly sinuate and weakly thickened peristome. Description (emended from Neubauer et al. 2018). Shell broad trochiform, about as high as wide, with up to 4 whorls. Rarely, specimens with slightly elevated spire occur. Protoconch high domical, about semi-circular in profile; initial part immersed; consists of 1.1 whorls, measuring 300 μm in diameter; nucleus about 90 μm wide; protoconch surface finely but strongly malleate near lower suture, rest appears eroded; P/T boundary sharp, marked by massive growth constrictions near lower suture. Teleoconch whorls highly convex, with maximum convexity in adapical half, producing slightly stepped spire. Last whorl attains 74–81% of shell height. Aperture broadly ovoid, slightly inclined, with faint concavity at contact to penultimate whorl. Peristome slightly thickened and expanded at columella and base; sinuate in lateral view, with weakly protruding central part and weak adapical indentation. Umbilicus wide, deep. Fine prosocyrt growth lines cover shell. On one specimen, traces of spiral threads occur on base. Remarks. Neubauer et al. (2018) wrongfully attributed this species to the extant Andrusovia brusinai, which is here considered a junior synonym of Andrusovia dybowskii (see above). Andrusovia antecessor sp. nov. differs from that species in the larger size, the more whorls while having an equally small (compared to subfossil shells) or smaller (relative to recent shells) protoconch, the more regular coiling resulting in a perfectly conical shape, and the rounded whorls. The overall similarity (and the lack of other known species) suggests that both species are closely related; given the age, A. antecessor sp. nov. might be a phylogenetic predecessor of A. dybowskii. The smaller protoconch (and thus smaller hatching size) combined with a larger adult size of Andrusovia antecessor sp. nov. compared to modern A. dybowskii suggests a faster growth rate or, alternatively, a longer lifetime. Growth rates in gastropods typically correlate positively with temperature (e.g. Kevrekidis & Wilke 2005; Shanahan et al. 2005; McCreesh et al. 2014). Similarly, the time of hatching can occur earlier under warmer conditions (Cancino et al. 2003). The scenario of an increased growth rate in A. antecessor sp. nov. as a function of temperature fits well to the supposed warmer climate during the Hyrcanian (Yanina 2014; Krijgsman et al. 2019). Distribution. Endemic to the Caspian Sea, known only from the Late Pleistocene strata of the type locality. Reconstructions of the paleoecology suggest a shallow (15–25 m), lower mesohaline (5–8 psu) open lake environment (van de Velde et al. 2020).Published as part of Anistratenko, Vitaliy V., Neubauer, Thomas A., Anistratenko, Olga Yu., Kijashko, Pavel V. & Wesselingh, Frank P., 2021, A revision of the Pontocaspian gastropods of the subfamily Caspiinae (Caenogastropoda: Hydrobiidae), pp. 151-197 in Zootaxa 4933 (2) on pages 162-163, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4933.2.1, http://zenodo.org/record/455014

In honor of Jes Rust (University of Bonn), who intensively worked on the mollusk fauna of the Aegean region. Type locality. Trílofon (= Trilophos), Thessaloniki, Greece. Age. Trilophos Formation, Messinian (= mammal zones late MN 12 to MN 13; see Rust 1997). Holotype. No holotype was designated (see also Rust 1997, p. 115); information about storage of material and collection number missing. Discussion. This species was introduced by Gillet & Geissert (1971) as a primary homonym of Micromelania carinata Andrusov, 1890. Although both taxa have been recombined since then, the junior name is permanently invalid according to ICZN (1999, Article 57.2) and needs a replacement name. Micromelania carinata Andrusov, 1890 has been recombined as Turricaspia carinata (source of recombination unclear; see Iljina et al. 1976) and " Micromelania carinata Gillet & Geissert, 1971 " as Pyrgula carinata by Rust (1997, p. 114). We follow the revised systematic placement and introduce the replacement name within the genus Pyrgula. None of the mentioned taxa should be confused with two other new hydrobiid species introduced by Gillet & Geissert (1971), Hydrobia carinata (p. 131) and Caspia carinata (p. 136).Published as part of Neubauer, Thomas A., Harzhauser, Mathias, Georgopoulou, Elisavet, Mandic, Oleg & Kroh, Andreas, 2014, Replacement names and nomenclatural comments for problematic species-group names in Europe's Neogene freshwater Gastropoda, pp. 453-468 in Zootaxa 3785 (3) on pages 457-458, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3785.3.7, http://zenodo.org/record/491336
State civil disobedience: morally justified violations of international law considered as civil disobedience
No full textInternational legalization promises to civilize world politics with global legal norms that bind states' behavior effectively. However, international legal norm can also institutionalize unjust forms of cooperation and the dominance of powerful states. In order to challenge unjust global rules the concept of civil disobedience has to be extended to international law violations by sovereign states. In the national realm civil disobedience has contributed extensively to the establishment of human rights. In order to use the concept for international politics, this paper develops criteria for state civil disobedience which are then applied to the Argentine foreign debt repudiation and Bolivia's violations of international investment law. Furthermore two hypotheses concerning causes and consequences of state civil disobedience are formulated -- Internationale Verrechtlichung verspricht eine Zivilisierung der Weltpolitik durch eine effektive Bindung der Staaten an globale Rechtsnormen. Gleichwohl können internationale Rechtsnormen auch die Dominanz der mächtigeren Staaten institutionalisieren und ungerechte Kooperationsformen festschreiben. Um ungerechte globale Rechtsnormen zu verändern ist es notwendig den Ansatz des zivilen Ungehorsams auf staatliche Rechtsbrüche zu übertragen. Im nationalen Rahmen hat der zivile Ungehorsam durch begrenzte Rechtsbrüche einen erheblichen Beitrag für die Erkämpfung der Menschenrechte geleistet. Um dieses Potential für die internationale Politik nutzbar zu machen, werden Kriterien für staatlichen zivilen Ungehorsam entwickelt und auf die argentinische Schuldenverweigerung und Boliviens Verletzungen internationalen Investitionsrechts angewendet. Zudem entwickelt das Papier zwei Hypothesen zu den Ursachen und den Wirkungen von staatlichem zivilem Ungehorsam
