A civil literature in an uncivil time Pax in Bello, the superscript Erhart Kästner applied to the unfinished and in his lifetime unpublished third book of his wartime trilogy on Greece and its islands,1 summed up in epigram the paradox of the serving soldier of the forces of occupation, seconded from military to literary duties, and attempting to write a civil literature in times and conditions which seemed to prohibit such. It is here proposed to examine the objectivity of book-length responses in prose, including multiple-authored collections, from persons in the service of the German occupying forces in the Europe of 1940-1944. The book-length criterion here extends from a two-quire, 32 page booklet (Erhard Göpel‟s Die Bretagne), through essay collections, travelogues, the novella, and the novel. Only the war-diary is excluded, on the grounds of its subjective form, but more so on the grounds that the most revealing of the war diaries are post-war redactions, simply because of the risk to personal safety there had been in writing un-coded text.2 The exceptional case of Ernst Jünger is considered here later (vide infra 1.8). The claims of the literature of the invaders on the sympathy of non-partisan readers are subject to a moral forfeit, now as then, though it should be noted that a French language translation of Ernst Jünger‟s Gärten und Straßen was a publishing success in 1942. Where the fact of occupation is elided through war-evading, war transfiguring or war-transcending prose, the common charges of „calligraphy‟ and of aesthetic escapism must be answered. A countervailing argument is here advanced, that this „literature of occupation‟ on account of its contemporary authenticity, its offering of an unsentimental aesthetic within the pervasiveness of war, and on account of innovation in literary form found within it, is the immediate, as distinct from the later, retrospective, literary Bewältigung of the wartime experience. The slight in number and among themselves disparate exemplars of this contemporary literature stand in quantitative contrast to the surge of German language 1 Cf. Erhart Kästner: Griechische Inseln (Frankfurt am Main: Insel, 1975). 2 Cf. Marianne Feuersenger (1982): Mein Kriegstagebuch. Führerhauptquartier und Berliner Wirklichkeit; also Peter Hartl (1994): Ursula von Kardorff: Berliner Aufzeichnungen 1942 bis 1945; also Hans Dieter Schäfer: Das gespaltene Bewußtsein. Deutsche Kultur und Lebenswirklichkeit 1933-1945 (Frankfurt am Main: Ullstein, 1981, 1984), p. 45. 6 literary output on the war in the two decades following 1945: over three hundred works to 1960,3 and of literary merit, works, “die eine gewisse literarische Qualität aufweisen und in anerkannten oder jedenfalls nicht einschlägig militaristischen Verlagen veröffentlicht wurden”, at least a hundred novels or comprehensive stories to 1965, according to one determination.4 The few contemporary works considered here are therefore by virtue of their relative rarity, published and unpublished, additionally important. The subject works are also historically important for being records written without the modification of moral, philosophical or factual hindsight, and for their being grounded still, perforce, in political concepts of a Europe deriving from the treaty of Versailles rather than the treaty of Rome. The stereotype of an allegorically encoded non National Socialist literature is disputed by Schäfer‟s Das gespaltene Bewußtsein (1981), which title points to the many manifest contradictions between National Socialist ideology and actual praxis in the field of cultural consumption in the broadest sense, from literature to foreign-branded consumer goods.5 In that context, many of the works studied here would not be remarkable. They were commissioned as Gebrauchsliteratur, functional writing, a form which covered also war reportage, travel writing and the diary and the essay, and which was dominant in the 1930s and into the war years.6 This ascendancy of functional literature, which established itself after 1930 and had its origin in a reaction to the social shocks of the Weimar era, was not supplanted until the advent of the sixties.7 The functional aim of this literature during the war years was primarily the Belehrung der Truppe, the instruction of the troops; its political purpose was the affirmation of an occupation policy of Korrektheit. This was self-serving, in France for reasons of promoting efficient economic cooperation, and in Greece, at least initially, for the propaganda value of demonstrating a See Jürgen Egyptien / Raffaele Louis: “100 Kriegsromane und -Erzählungen des Zeitraums 1945 bis 1965”, in: Treibhaus. Jahrbuch für die Literatur der fünfziger Jahre, 3. 2007, p. 211, note 1. 4 Ibid., p. 211. 5 See Schäfer: Das gespaltene Bewußtsein, pp. 7-68, 146-208; p. 35: “Es war ein Irrtum, die nichtnationalsozialistische Erzählprosa als Literatur der verdeckten Schreibweise zu interpretieren.” p. 146: “Das Dritte Reich ist von einem tiefen Gegensatz zwischen nationalsozialistischer Ideologie und Praxis gekennzeichnet.” 6 Ibid., pp. 44, 79. 7 Ibid., pp. 41, 89. 7 conscientious cultural custodianship of the antique. In the East, where no armistice was signed, where cities were fought over and the occupation policy was harsh, and where in consequence the social background was displaced, paradoxically it was there that notable examples of the social and non- functional genres of the novel and novella were written (vide infra 3.4). As Schäfer has pointed out, the world-shattering chaos of the war surpassed that of the economic crisis of the thirties and left most of the writers remaining in Germany unable any longer to combine empirical and allegorical elements into radical forms of reality interpretation, of Wirklichheitsdeutung.

    The Practice and Politics of Children’s Music Education in the German Democratic Republic, 1949-1976 By Anicia Chung Timberlake 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 Nicholas Mathew Professor Martin Jay Spring 2015 Abstract The Practice and Politics of Children’s Music Education in the German Democratic Republic, 1949-1976 by Anicia Chung Timberlake Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair This dissertation examines the politics of children’s music education in the first decades of the German Democratic Republic. The East German state famously attempted to co-opt music education for propagandistic purposes by mandating songs with patriotic texts. However, as I show, most pedagogues believed that these songs were worthless as political education: children, they argued, learned not through the logic of texts, but through the immediacy of their bodies and their emotions. These educators believed music to be an especially effective site for children’s political education, as music played to children’s strongest suit: their unconscious minds and their emotions. Many pedagogues, composers, and musicologists thus adapted Weimar-era methods that used mostly non-texted music to instill what they held to be socialist values of collectivism, diligence, open-mindedness, and critical thought. I trace the fates of four of these pedagogical practices—solfège, the Orff Schulwerk, lessons in listening, and newly-composed “Brechtian” children’s operas—demonstrating how educators sought to graft the new demands of the socialist society onto inherited German musical and pedagogical traditions.

  • Making a New World David and the Revolution
    Making a New World David and the Revolution 'Never was any such event so inevitable yet so completely unforeseen', was how the great historian Alexis de Tocqueville characterized the coming of the French Revolution. From a distance of more than two hundred years, we can see that the Revolution was the result of a series of social, economic and political pressures which, though manageable in themselves, had the cumulative effect of toppling the monarchy and chang- ing the course of French and European history. By the mid-1780s the whole framework of the ancien regime seemed close to breakdown. As a legacy of its expensive involvement in the American War of Independence (1778-83), 70 Let's Hope that France was facing bankruptcy and the government was forced this Game Ends Soon, to borrow more and more money to cover its deficits. The 1789 . Coloured public was also aware of how the lavish and extravagant engraving ; 36-5 - 24cm, expenditure of the court added to the nation's debts, and they 141e" 9 1 zin were outraged at the waste. Tensions also existed between the aristocracy and the emerging middle classes, with the latter group trying hard to gain social acceptance and a rise in their influence and status . Of course these issues of politics and class were of little importance to the poor, the vast majority of whom lived in degradation and misery trying to scratch a living from the land. They laid the blame for their misfortunes squarely at the feet of the Church and the aristocracy which claimed crip- pling tithes and feudal dues (70).

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-48253-0 - The Cambridge Companion to the Modern German Novel Edited by Graham Bartram Frontmatter More information The Cambridge Companion to the Modern German Novel The Cambridge Companion to the Modern German Novel provides a wide- ranging introduction to the major trends in the development of the German novel from the 1890s to the present. Written by an international team of ex- perts, it encompasses both modernist and realist traditions, and also includes a look back to the roots of the modern novel in the Bildungsroman of the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The structure is broadly chronologi- cal, but thematically focused chapters examine topics such as gender anxiety, images of the city, war and women’s writing; within each chapter, key works are selected for close attention. Unique in its combination of breadth of cover- age and detailed analysis of individual works, and featuring a chronology and guides to further reading, this Companion will be indispensable to students and teachers alike. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-48253-0 - The Cambridge Companion to the Modern German Novel Edited by Graham Bartram Frontmatter More information © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-48253-0 - The Cambridge Companion to the Modern German Novel Edited by Graham Bartram Frontmatter More information THE CAMBRIDGE COMPANION TO THE MODERN GERMAN NOVEL EDITED BY
