No words can express the degree to which I appreciate the academic guidance and personal sustenance advisors, colleagues, friends, and above all family gave me. First and foremost, I want to thank my dissertation committee, led by my dissertation director Dr. Richard Steigmann-Gall. Your reminders about empiricism and letting the documents cut through the theory were apt, necessary, and invaluable. Many thanks are due to Dr. Shelley Baranowski, Dr. Rebecca Pulju, Dr. Stephen Harp, and Dr. David Purcell, who each brought unique and incisive commentary to this dissertation, helping me to weave together what could have been a very schizophrenic idea. I also thank the History Department, especially Dr. Ken Bindas and Ms. Kay Dennis for encouragement and emergency problem-solving. In the United States, I owe a debt of gratitude to a plethora of research libraries and archives. Kent State University, especially the InterLibrary Loan office, found obscure sources for me, while the Graduate Student Senate generously helped fund my research trip to Germany. The staff of the Hoover Institute in Stanford worked with me long distance and provided me with invaluable documents. The Newberry Library Reading Room staff helped me target the Ben Hecht Papers and the Notgeld Collection in vi an all-to-brief visit. Importantly and unexpectedly, University of North Carolina Wilmington special collections staff and archivists allowed me a frantic week of data collection and priceless copy help. Many thanks go out to The University Museum at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, where I worked as a graduate assistant processing the Milton Harrington Notgeld Collection. Without access to that collection and the continued guidance of Dr. Laura Milsk Fowler and Dr. Christienne Hinz, also at SIUE, from my MA program forward, this dissertation would be a very different piece of work. In Germany, many thanks to the staff of the Hansestadt Archiv Lübeck, who pulled and repulled folders and boxes for me throughout the summer of 2010. My discussion of Notgeld collecting and circulation would not have as thorough or even possible without the help of the staff at the Altonaer Museum für Kunst und Kulturgeschichte in Altona, Hamburg, especially Frau Staack and Herr Homann. Additionally, the reading room staff at the Stadtarchiv Kiel kindly lent their expertise about regional festivals, pointing me in the direction of Kiel’s Nordische Messe. Lastly, I am grateful to Regina Kordes and Einhornhaus in Lübeck which let me live near the archives and really get to know and love Lübeck. More than anything, I want to thank my friends and family, academic and otherwise, who have not only put up with me during this process but have provided countless hours of support and encouragement. I thank my friends in Bowman 205 and across the country, where spontaneous debate and conversation crystalized and challenged my perspectives, especially Monika Flaschka (who deserves a special note vii due to the inordinate draft-reading of grant applications, job applications, conference papers, and dissertation chapters—I only hope I can repay you somehow), Rachel Boaz, Greg Jones, Tom Weyant, Sarah Zabic, Matthew Phillips, Mathew Brundage, Jeff O’Leary, Bryan Kvet, Laura Herron, Melissa Steinmetz, Dionna Richardson, Lisa Lazear, Julie Mujic, Adam Hodge, Andy Tremel, Denise Jenison, and Austin McCoy. I also thank Shannon Hines, Jessica Leveto, Chivon Fitch, Jammie and Shawn Bills, and a host of other personal friends whose conversation, willingness to watch my (sometimes unruly) children, and friendship have been as constructive in this process as the research. The lasting impressions of Mr. Kurt Luedke, Mr. Steve Zenz, Dr. Robert Ubriaco, and my instructors at SIUE have contributed to my work as a scholar and teacher. I thank you. Lastly, and certainly not least, I thank my family. To my mother, mother-in-law, siblings and siblings-in-law, all of your help and continued encouragement, even if you didn’t always understand what it was I “did,” was invaluable. To my sister Susan, who unexpectedly served as my research assistant in Germany and perhaps the best travel partner I’ve ever had, much of this dissertation is because of you. To Alex, my partner and friend, I cannot articulate enough how much of you is in this project (even though some of it is in German). To Kael and Tobin, who dealt with Mom being gone for two months and countless hours of writing and revising, I hope you know how much I appreciate you both and how proud I am of you. And finally, to Robert L. Kamholz, Jr. and Allen Briesacher, father and father-in-law, I wish you could see the culmination of the work you saw me start. This work is in large measure dedicated to your memories. viii Introduction Cultural Currency: Finance, Festival, and Facets of Identity The word “currency” is one that describes a host of complex and complicated concepts, ranging from tangible specie to temporal boundaries. In terms of theoretical concepts, “currency” recalls not only Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of “cultural capital,” which will be discussed in detail throughout the following chapters, but also economic exchange, the understanding of.

    Sibelius in the Context of the Finnish-German History Veijo Murtomäki Introduction The life and career of a composer cannot be considered as an isolated case without taking into account the wider context. The history of ideas and ideologies is always part of any serious enquiry into an artist’s personal history. Therefore we must bear in mind at least four points when considering the actions of artist and his or her country. Firstly, as the eminent Finnish historian Matti Klinge has observed, "the biggest challenge for understanding history is trying to situate oneself in the preconditions of the time-period under scrutiny while remembering that it did not know what the posterity knows."[1] Writing history is not primarily a task whereby the historian provides lines for actors to speak, but rather is an attempt to understand and explain why something happened, and to construct a context including all of the possible factors involved in a certain historical process. Secondly, supporting (or not opposing) an ideology prevailing at a certain time does not mean that the supporter (or non-opponent) is committing a crime. We could easily condemn half of the European intellectuals for supporting Fascism, Nazism, Communism or Maoism, or just for having become too easily attracted by these – in their mind – fascinating, visionary ideologies to shape European or world history. Thirdly, history has always been written by the winners – and thus, historiography tends to be distorted by exaggerating the evil of the enemy and the goodness of the victor. A moral verdict must be reached when we are dealing with absolute evil, but it is rare to find exclusively good or bad persons or civilizations; therefore history is rarely an issue of black and white.

  • Hal Koch, Grundtvig and the Rescue of the Danish Jews: a Case Study in the Democratic Mobilisation for Non-Violent Resistance
    Hal Koch, Grundtvig and the rescue of the Danish Jews: A case study in the democratic mobilisation for non-violent resistance By Steven Borish The Danish people’s successful cultural mobilisation for resistance against the Nazi Occupation (1940-1945) culminated in the rescue operation that took place in the autumn of 1943 when 7220 of the approximately 7800 Jews then in Denmark were successfully transported to safety in neutral Sweden. In events set in motion from the invasion of 9 April 1940, through the summer of that year and the following year, a key role was played by a living charis­ matic leader, Hal Koch, and, through him, by his memorable nineteenth-cen­ tury predecessor, N. F. S. Grundtvig. These remarkable events are properly to be contextualized not only in Danish history but also in the annals of non­ violent action as a path to the accomplishment of national goals. I. Grundtvig as the background figure who makes everything come together Statement of the problem On 9 April 1940 the Nazi German invasion of Denmark precipitated one of the deepest crises in the many centuries of Danish history. The late spring, summer and early autumn of 1940, saw the establishment of a Nazi Occupation following the short but overwhelming invasion. During these tense and difficult months many Danes from all walks of life began to meet, discuss and plan for cultural resistance.1 Yet the contributions of two men, one living and one dead, are of special importance in understanding the events of this critical period; together they lit a spark which successfully catalysed the first phase of a broad and popular mobilisation for cultural resistance.

Dissertation Advisor: Peter A. Hall Noam Gidron Many Ways to be Right: The Unbundling of European Mass Attitudes and Partisan Asymmetries across the Ideological Divide Abstract How do individuals with conflicting attitudes on different issues – those with conservative attitudes on some issues but progressive attitudes on other issues – form their partisan allegiances? In examining this question, my dissertation advances an argument about the asymmetry in European mass attitudes across the left-right divide. I argue that when individuals connect their political attitudes to left-right ideological labels they have many ways to be right – yet mostly one way to be left.

  • Some Examples of Veterinarians in Belletrist Literature Hans-Otto Schmidtke
    Some examples of Veterinarians in Belletrist Literature Hans-Otto Schmidtke “Second Flush”, Am See 6, 24873 Havetoft, Germany. This essay intends to do exactly what the title says: to look at veterinarians in so-called belletrist, that is non-scientific literature. It excludes the examination of autobiographies written by veterinarians, and thus James Herriot and many others who should normally be mentioned are not. These authors have been discussed in other reviews. "Phol ende Uodan vuorun zi holza du uuart dem Balders volon sin vuoz birenkit..." Translation: "Fol and Wodan rode through the woods when Balder's foal sprained its foot. Whereupon Sintgunt, Sunna's sister, and Frija, Volla's sister, as well as Wodan himself chanted as they knew how: when the bone hurts when the blood hurts when the members hurt: bone to bone, blood to blood, member to member as if glued together..." This is how the second of the 'Merseburger Zaubersprüche' (Merseburg Incantations) begins. It was probably written in the 8th Century and might be the oldest German language reference to the medical treatment of an animal. It is tempting to conclude that not much has changed since this time, considering both the German Veterinary Society and veterinary teaching establishments have institutes and run courses with a non- scientific approach to the treatment of animals - escape from science, indulgence in mysticism. In pre-medical times there is reference to veterinary related topics in the 14th Century manuscript 'Sachsenspiegel' (Saxons' Mirror) [6], and in French 12th Century epics that celebrate mounted men-at-arms; they describe horses in times of health and disease, and elsewhere in the literature horse injuries have been described [3].
