For twenty-five years, CIUS has promoted Ukrainian and Ukrainian-Cana- dian studies, served as a resource centre for bilingual education, and provided intellectual support for the Ukrainian commu- nity. Much has changed since the founding of CIUS. The Soviet Union has collapsed and Ukraine has gained its independence. Yet the Institute’s task has only become larger, more complex, and more vital. CIUS is heavily involved in Ukraine, not only in helping to reshape the humanities and social sciences in the post-Soviet era, but also in helping Ukraine reform its laws to promote democracy and a market economy. The formerly indifferent Western academic and political elite has become an eager consumer of Institute publications, as well as a cooperative partner in a variety of academic endeavours. And Ukrainian- Canadians, most of whom now belong to the fourth and fifth generation in Canada, can revitalize their Ukrainian heritage by drawing on the intellectual resources created by the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies. Dr. Zenon E. Kohut The accomplishments we celebrate today would have been impossible without those pioneers—academics, politicians, community leaders, donors, and concerned individuals—whose vision and lifelong devotion to Ukrainian studies anchored our endeavours. It is with the expectation of continued support from such individuals that we look forward to the next quar- ter-century with confidence. Dr. Manoly R.

  • Operetta After the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen a Dissertation
    Operetta after the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Elaine Tennant Spring 2013 © 2013 Ulrike Petersen All Rights Reserved Abstract Operetta after the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair This thesis discusses the political, social, and cultural impact of operetta in Vienna after the collapse of the Habsburg Empire. As an alternative to the prevailing literature, which has approached this form of musical theater mostly through broad surveys and detailed studies of a handful of well‐known masterpieces, my dissertation presents a montage of loosely connected, previously unconsidered case studies. Each chapter examines one or two highly significant, but radically unfamiliar, moments in the history of operetta during Austria’s five successive political eras in the first half of the twentieth century. Exploring operetta’s importance for the image of Vienna, these vignettes aim to supply new glimpses not only of a seemingly obsolete art form but also of the urban and cultural life of which it was a part. My stories evolve around the following works: Der Millionenonkel (1913), Austria’s first feature‐length motion picture, a collage of the most successful stage roles of a celebrated

I proceeded from the assumption that powerful propaganda has to contain certain phrases which do not necessarily mean anything, which sound good, but which still stand for a programme. I may have chosen the name intuitively since at that time I was directly under the influence of the Span- ish romances 'Rosa Blanca' by Brentano. There is no connection with the 'White Rose' in English history." Hans Scholl, interrogation protocol of the Gestapo, 20.2.1943 The Origin of the White Rose The White Rose originated from individual friend- ships growing into circles of friends.

    Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe The Representative on Freedom of the Media Dunja Mijatović 19 June 2014 Regular Report to the Permanent Council for the period from 28 November 2013 through 18 June 2014 Introduction Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. (The more things change, the more they stay the same). When Frenchman Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr penned this epigram in 1849, he no doubt had in mind some of the typical madness displayed by mankind as it keeps repeating the mistakes of the past. Dressed up differently, perhaps, but, in reality, the same evil result being played out time and time again. I think you will all agree that from the end of November last year, which was my last official report to you, what we have seen being played out in the OSCE region is just more of the same thing. Please consider these facts: During this reporting period I have intervened on media-freedom related matters about 120 times, including 40 on Ukraine issues alone. Over the past six months I have come here several times to explain what is happening with freedom of the media in Ukraine and to ask for all the parties involved to show some degree of restraint and respect for the fundamental values of free expression that make democracy and civilized society work. The problems fall into four broad categories: violence and threats of violence against journalists, the blocking and switching of broadcast signals, the denial of free passage to journalists to cover events, and, of course, the use of propaganda in times of conflict.

This letter has been coordinated by the Embassy of Ireland in Poland. On the occasion of this year’s Warsaw Equality Parade, we express our support for efforts to raise public awareness of issues affecting the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) community and other communities in Poland facing similar challenges. We also acknowledge similar efforts in Częstochowa, Gdańsk, Łódź, Katowice, Konin, Kraków, Opole, Poznań, Rzeszów, Szczecin, Toruń and Wrocław. We affirm the inherent dignity of each individual as expressed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Respect for these fundamental rights, which are also enshrined in OSCE commitments and the obligations and standards of the Council of Europe and the European Union as communities of rights and values, obliges governments to protect all citizens from violence and discrimination and to ensure they enjoy equal opportunities.
