Peter Weiss: Briefe an Henriette Itta Blumenthal
No full text»Liebe Itta – deine Briefe sind mir schon zu etwas ganz Unentbehrlichem geworden und jeden Tag, wenn ich in den Briefkasten vorm Haus sehe, tue ichs mit dem Gedanken: ob wohl von dir etwas dabei ist«, schrieb der 24-jährige Peter Weiss im Frühjahr 1941 an Henriette Itta Blumenthal. Ihr Briefwechsel erstreckt sich über zwei Jahre, von April 1941 bis Mai 1943; die Briefe sind das Zeugnis einer kurzen, aber intensiven und intimen Freundschaft und Selbstoffenbarung und markieren den Anfang einer Seelenforschung, die Peter Weiss über zwei Psychoanalysen schließlich zur Niederschrift seiner autobiografisch inspirierten Romane führt

Word and Image. The Artistic Visions of Peter Weiss in His Early Prose
No full textIn the article the author introduces the beginnings of the artistic work of the writer and painter, Peter Weiss (1916–1982) who created his early novels and paintings in exile in London, Czechoslovakia and Sweden. Short forms of prose and surrealist paintings reveal the area of his interests, reading and inspiration (e.g. Hermann Hesse, E.T.A. Hoffmann, Hieronymus Bosch, Pieter Brueghel and others). In the paper the subject of a detailed analysis are the typescripts of his two short novels, written in 1936 and 1937 and published in pieces (Skruwe – aus den Aufzeichnungen von Peter Ulrich Weiss and Die Insel. Eine Art Flugschrift. Vor Augen geführt durch Skruwe), as well as his painting compositions of that time. Both literary attempts and paintings inspired by personal experiences and books by H. Hesse document the struggle of the young author with the artistic form in paintings, as well as with the word and literary material in his writings, they also mark an important stage in his creative activity. The sources of his artistic quest are also documented in his correspondence with Hermann Hesse

Action and Visuo-Spatial Attention: neurobiological bases and disorders : abstracts of the poster presentations of the Conference on Action and Visuo-Spatial Attention, held at the Adam-Stegerwald-Haus, Königswinter, Germany, from 23 to 25 November 2000
No full textIt is a great pleasure for us to welcome you to the conference on Action and Visuospatial Attention: Neurobiological Bases and Disorders taking place in Königswinter in November 2000. This conference is devoted to provide an up-to-date forum for the latest basic and clinical neuroscience on apraxia and visuo-spatiai neglect. Emphasis is laid on the anatomy, electrophysiology, neuropsychology and functional imaging of posterior parietal cortex. New insights into the functional role of posterior parietal cortex in visuo-spatial attention, perceptual and premotor aspects of neglect, attention to action, movement planning and action, as weil as apraxia will be provided. Considering the broad spectrum of research and its progressive nature, we intend to bring together basic and clinical neuroscientists covering the field from neuroanatomy through neurophysiology and neuroimaging to neuropsychology in order to allow the critical assessment of current concepts as weil as the development of new concepts and ideas. To achieve this we wish to bring together eminent scientist in the field as weil as young investigators. We are very pleased that the following basic and clinical scientists have agreed to share their latest findings by giving lectures: A. Berthoz, A. Berti, F. Binkofski, D. Boussaoud, F. Bremmer, C. Cavada, R.J. Dolan, J. Driver, G.R. Fink, H.-J. Freund, G. Goldenberg, P.W. Halligan, H.-J. Heinze, M. Jeannerod, R. Leiguarda, J.c. MarshalI, M. Matelli, R.E. Passingham, S. Poil mann, loH. Robertson, A. Sirigu, P. Tass, H.-P. Thier, I. Toni, G. Vallar, P.H. Weiss, K. Willmes, K. Zilles. In addition, more than 40 posters will be presented (a list ofthetopics and the presenters is included in this final announcement). The number of registrants will be limited to 100 in order to allow stimulating interaction between all speakers, poster presenters, and discussants and we will make sure that sufficient time will be available for fruitful discussions of both posters and talks

Peter H. Amann Collection 1909-2009
No full textThis collection contains the personal and professional papers of Peter Amann, mostly correspondence but also including family papers, personal and professional writings, publicity materials relating to Peter Amann’s wife, and other personal documents. These materials reflect his role as a professor, author and prominent American historian as well as providing information about the rest of his family, including his father Paul Amann.Although most of these files date from his adult life, when he worked as a professor of history at various American universities, many files, including all of Series I, appear to have been inherited from his mother Dora Amann (née Iranyi) during the 1980s. These files include Dora Amann’s family papers and document the lives of the Iranyi/Israel family at the period before the Anschluss, during wartime, when Dora and Paul Amann lived in Paris, and conditions of Jewish individuals and families in Vienna under the Nazi regime.Other materials inherited from Dora Amann consist of some of Paul Amann’s correspondence, which contains a limited amount of post-war correspondence with prominent literary figures like Christopher Isherwood, Albert Camus, and the estate of Romain Rolland, and correspondence between Ernst Amann and his parents Dora and Paul. Included with the Paul Amann materials is an unpublished memoir, written in English, pertaining to his time as an Austrian soldier during World War I.The earlier family correspondence is almost entirely comprised of letters exchanged between Peter Amann and his parents. Starting in the mid 1950s, other figures begin to appear in the family correspondence, including Peter’s half-brother Wilhelm (Willi), who settled in Scotland, and Peter’s sister Eva. After the death of Paul Amann in 1959, the family correspondence contains an increasing amount of letters to and from Dora Amann.The professional correspondence starts during Peter Amann’s graduate studies at the University of Chicago in the 1950s. This series consists of correspondence and application materials for scholarships and fellowships, such as the Fulbright Peter Amann received in 1963, letters exchanged with colleagues and with collaborators on various research and book projects, letters seeking job placement, and letters with scholarly and academic publishers, relating both to proposed and to actual book and research projects. A substantial amount of official correspondence with the administrations of the various universities for which Amann worked, especially the University of Michigan, is also present. Additional materials in this series include diplomas and awards dating from Amann’s high school years in the 1940s through the 1970s, and various writings both academic and fictional, publications, and translations. Many of these writings included in the collection have never been published. A final subseries of professional correspondence pertains to his wife Enne Amann’s career as a folk singer, for which Peter Amann acted as manager during the mid 1960s through the early 1970s.The final series, personal correspondence, comprises letters and cards exchanged with friends and neighbors, as well as many materials pertaining to personal accommodations, such as lodging and transportation, while abroad for research purposes. The line between personal and professional correspondence is often blurry in the case of letters exchanged with professional colleagues, and therefore many correspondents appear in both the personal and professional series. The original order of the files with regards to dividing personal and professional correspondence was largely kept intact to avoid any destruction of contextual evidence. A variety of other types of correspondence, including letters to newspaper Op-Ed pages and letters to Congressional representatives expressing personal political views, were also included in this series, even if they refer to Peter Amann’s professional credentials.Peter Amann was born in 1927 in the Penzig district of Vienna, Austria. In 1939 Peter Amann fled with his family to France, and eventually reached New York via Portugal in 1941. After a few itinerant years following their arrival in the United States, Peter Amann graduated high school in Ohio and then continued his education at Oberlin College. In 1947 he completed his studies at Oberlin College and married Enne Niemi in Kentucky.For the next half decade Amann worked various jobs and wrote fiction in New York City and Milwaukee, before settling in Chicago in 1952 to work on a Ph.D. in History at the University of Chicago. Soon afterwards his first child Paula was born, and two other children, Sandra and David, were born within the following 7 years. Aside from an initial stint at Bowdoin College in Maine (1956-1959) and a few years on the faculty of the State University of New York Binghamton (1965-1968), Amann spent his entire professional career at various campuses of the University of Michigan. From 1971-2004 he was a Professor Emeritus of History at the Ann Arbor campus.Peter Amann is arguably most noted for his major work Revolution and Mass Democracy: The Paris Club Movement in 1848, but he also authored several other well-regarded scholarly books and articles on a variety of topics covering both European and American history. He has been awarded a Fulbright fellowship (1963-1964), a Guggenheim fellowship (1963-1964), and National Endowment for the Humanities fellowship (1982); for all of these awards he traveled to France for research.Dora Amann, née Israel, was born in 1894 in Vienna. Along with her immediate family, she converted to Protestantism and changed her name to Iranyi; her extended family kept the name Israel. She received a musical education in Vienna, Uppsala (Sweden), and Norway, and sang professionally. She married Paul Amann, a translator, with whom she had two children, Peter and Eva (later Eva Irrera). In 1939 she emigrated to France and then in 1941 to the United States. After Paul Amann’s death, she spent much of her life in New Paltz, New York, and died in 1993 near Washington, D.C.For a detailed biography of Peter Amann’s father, Paul Amann, please see the Peter Amann Collection, AR 3305.digitize
