CAMP: I was born in Montgomery, Alabama in 1950; my father was a civilian working for the Air Force. After a few years in Alabama we moved to San Antonio, then to the Washington area. Both my parents were in the military in World War II; my father was from California and my mother Illinois. They met after the war in New York while both were studying at Columbia and living in the same building on West 116th. The story is they met while hanging out laundry on the roof. Q: There are plays that begin this way. CAMP: They communicated between apartments by knocking on the radiators; the landlord was on the verge of ripping out the pipes to find out what was wrong. One of my mother’s roommates married one of my father’s roommates as well. Q: Amazing CAMP: My mother got a Master’s from Columbia Teachers College and my father studied sociology; he began working for the early Gallup Poll company and for CBS News, doing survey research. My brother was born at New York Presbyterian Hospital; another family story relates how my mom took the subway to the hospital in a December snowstorm. Q: Where were their families from? CAMP: My mother came from a German farming family in central Illinois. When I interviewed her for a high school assignment on the Depression she told me that the farming economy was always depressed, which didn’t give me much to report for class. My father was born in Utah and grew up in Berkeley, California, just up from the university campus. Visiting my Berkeley grandmother during the 1960s provided a glimpse of some of the radical ferment of the times, like the Free Speech Movement. Grandma Camp gave us our first Tom Lehrer album. Visiting our farm cousins in Illinois was more about swimming in mucky ponds and riding along with the hay bailer. Q: So your parents moved to Alabama. CAMP: My father had begun working for the military, as a civilian, doing survey research at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery and then Randolph in San Antonio, Texas. Along with some of the colleagues from those projects, he then joined the research unit at the U.S. Information Agency (USIA). This was at USIA headquarters in 4 Washington, which had the fabulous address of 1776 Pennsylvania Ave. For years this little group of researchers, family friends, stayed together; some were still around when I joined USIA in 1983. In 1961 my father got an opportunity to go to Bangkok in a civil service position, conducting research throughout Indochina. Public opinion research was a big part of USIA in those days, winning hearts and minds, surveying people’s thoughts about the United States, assessing and advising on the impact of American foreign policy decisions on worldwide public opinion. There was a research unit at USIS Bangkok during those early days of the Vietnam War. When we moved to Thailand in 1961 I didn’t want to go, I didn’t want to leave my friends, the usual pre-teen lament. That started to change as we took an ocean liner across the Pacific, stopped in Japan and Hong Kong, and finally ended up in exotic Bangkok, with its khlongs and cute chingjok lizards and a queen who was one of the world’s most beautiful women. We returned to Washington in 1963; I graduated from Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School (BCC) in 1968 and went to Oberlin College. Q: What was it like to go to school in the Washington suburbs in the mid-60s? CAMP: Those years spanned earth-shattering events, including the assassinations of John Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King, civil rights issues, Vietnam protests, and riots in DC. It was also the era of the Beatles, drugs and long hair. And the first computers. By 1967-1968, my high school was in proud possession of a remote terminal linked to a computer at a government facility. It was accessible to those of us in Mrs. Tubbs’ Advanced Algebra/Trig class, which consisted of two girls and 14 boys, geeky slide rule guys. We were given to understand that it was a rare opportunity to have this access, which made it especially shocking when Mrs. Tubbs came into class extremely upset because somebody had programmed obscenities on the terminal. I’ll never forget how distraught she was and the horror over who would do this kind of thing – it had to be someone in that class abusing this great privilege that had been given to us. Q: While you were in high school had you begun to think about an international career for yourself? CAMP: I was editor of the high school paper and saw myself as a future journalist. The BCC Tattler was an award-winning paper managed by a really fabulous teacher, Benjamin Allnutt, who was responsible for a number of careers in journalism. Although protests against the war in Vietnam were heating up, I was slow to join in. My mindset was shaped by living in Southeast Asia, the domino theory, ideas about the need to protect the Vietnamese people and our close ally Thailand and so on. I can’t remember 5 exactly what my tipping point was into opposing the war, except that I was impressed when my college-age brother joined the protests at the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago. A few months later, as a freshman at Oberlin College in Ohio, I was riding to Washington in the back of a U-Haul truck for an anti-war demonstration. Q: While you were in high school did you take advantage of opportunities that Washington offers? CAMP: My family attended Kennedy’s 1961 inauguration, on a bitterly cold day after a snowstorm nearly paralyzed the city the night before. The Democrats’ victory – my liberal California father hated Nixon – and my brother’s role as a Boy Scout usher at the event combined to propel our family downtown in such terrible conditions. My mother, who taught business subjects, shorthand and typing, at Walt Whitman High School in Bethesda, insisted we dress up to go downtown. In those days anyone could wander around Capitol Hill, eat bean soup in the Senate cafeteria, and ride the underground tram to the Senate office buildings. The Smithsonian was another draw, although there were fewer museums than now. American History, originally called the National Museum of History and Technology, opened in 1964; it was the first new Smithsonian museum since the Freer in 1923. Air and Space came 12 years later. As a kid, one of my gruesome favorites was the Medical Museum, now in Silver Spring, with artifacts from Lincoln’s assassination and other gory items. I also have strong memories of the old Arts and Industries Building, a gorgeous setting for boring exhibits featuring machinery and button collections. It was only years later, after I got involved with the 2010 and 2015 world’s fairs, that I appreciated how many of the Arts and Industries exhibits were from the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exposition, in which the Smithsonian played a major role. Editing the high school paper offered opportunities for encounters with the grittier parts of DC. The B-CC Tattler was printed in Baltimore and sent back to us on a Greyhound bus for proofreading.

  • The American Film Musical and the Place(Less)Ness of Entertainment: Cabaret’S “International Sensation” and American Identity in Crisis
    humanities Article The American Film Musical and the Place(less)ness of Entertainment: Cabaret’s “International Sensation” and American Identity in Crisis Florian Zitzelsberger English and American Literary Studies, Universität Passau, 94032 Passau, Germany; fl[email protected] Received: 20 March 2019; Accepted: 14 May 2019; Published: 19 May 2019 Abstract: This article looks at cosmopolitanism in the American film musical through the lens of the genre’s self-reflexivity. By incorporating musical numbers into its narrative, the musical mirrors the entertainment industry mise en abyme, and establishes an intrinsic link to America through the act of (cultural) performance. Drawing on Mikhail Bakhtin’s notion of the chronotope and its recent application to the genre of the musical, I read the implicitly spatial backstage/stage duality overlaying narrative and number—the musical’s dual registers—as a means of challenging representations of Americanness, nationhood, and belonging. The incongruities arising from the segmentation into dual registers, realms complying with their own rules, destabilize the narrative structure of the musical and, as such, put the semantic differences between narrative and number into critical focus. A close reading of the 1972 film Cabaret, whose narrative is set in 1931 Berlin, shows that the cosmopolitanism of the American film musical lies in this juxtaposition of non-American and American (at least connotatively) spaces and the self-reflexive interweaving of their associated registers and narrative levels. If metalepsis designates the transgression of (onto)logically separate syntactic units of film, then it also symbolically constitutes a transgression and rejection of national boundaries. In the case of Cabaret, such incongruities and transgressions eventually undermine the notion of a stable American identity, exposing the American Dream as an illusion produced by the inherent heteronormativity of the entertainment industry.

  • „Dealing with Climate Change“ How Communities Can Contribute to Tackling Climate Change
    „Dealing with Climate Change“ How communities can contribute to tackling climate change THE PROGRAM Our Program will accompany the UN World climate conference 2015 in Paris (COP21). Often called „the last chance“ to adopt international measures, principles and standards to avert the worst effects of climate change, the conference serves well to take a stand in our communities. As educational partners with close ties to the American and German public, politicians and decision-makers, the German-American Institutes bring together the critical know-how behind any German-American collaboration. We provide a platform to discuss how and if fighting climate change is possible if experts, future leaders, and academics work together to come up with a plan to mitigate and manage climate change. THE WORKSHOPS In the form of interdisciplinary workshops, we bring together talented students from the region to discuss how simple climate change measures can be adapted to a city. Under the guidance of climate change experts, we will try to stress the importance of this program and hope, that the participants will remain active in the discussion beyond our program. We introduce the students to key concepts such as resource management, waste management, circular economy, food security, urban planning and economic competitiveness. This will enable the students to develop an opinion and give policy advice in one out of four key areas so that they can strategically manage climate change and remain active in the public discussion. THE GERMAN-AMERICAN INSTITUTES The Deutsch-Amerikanisches Zentrum/James-F.-Byrnes Institut e.V. is part of the German- American Institute network - a network of independent bi-national cultural and educational institutes in Germany.

It was reauthorized in January 2013 to complete the Comprehensive Annual Report on Public Diplomacy and International Broadcasting Activities, and to produce other reports and white papers that support effective public diplomacy. This white paper is a follow up to the 1985 ACPD report, “Terrorism and Security: The Challenge for Public Diplomacy,” which was submitted in reaction to the Inman Standards and their possible effect on the U.S. Information Agency (USIA). Today, ACPD is concerned about the pending shuttering of 21 American Centers. These Centers are essential platforms for core public diplomacy activities, such as alumni engagement, education advising for U.S. universities, English-language education, cultur- al programming, and speakers and forums on U.S. policy issues. They are also located in cities that are becoming increasingly important incubators for empowerment and are home to highly networked societies, such as Jerusalem; Beijing and Shanghai; Mexico City; and New Delhi.
