  • Sprache Der Heimat.’ Discourses of Dialect and Identity in Modern-Day Cologne
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by UCL Discovery ‘Sprache der Heimat.’ Discourses of dialect and identity in modern-day Cologne Geraldine Horan 1. Introduction Associating language with Heimat is not a new phenomenon. Heidegger’s lecture ‘Sprache und Heimat’ [Language and Home]1 (1960), for example, articulated the fundamental yet intangeable relationship between dialect as the mothertongue and a sense of ‘home’ (Heidegger 1983: 155–180), and philosophers and linguists alike have attempted to analyse how language can create and represent a sense of belonging in a ‘fusion of language and landscape’ (Hammermeister 2000: 314). This connection is particularly strong with dialect, which in modern times is largely reserved for the familiar, private sphere, or is employed symbolically as a marker of local identity. This chapter analyses discourses about Kölsch, the urban dialect spoken in the German city of Cologne, and about engagement with the dialect by members of a specific community; namely, participants in dialect and dialect-related courses as the Akademie för uns kölsche Sproch [Academy for our Cologne Language].2 Using data from questionnaires completed by participants in these courses, I explore individuals’ attitudes to the dialect, perceived level of proficiency, and the role the dialect plays in the construction of local identity. I shall argue that the externalisation of this personal, emotional link between dialect and identity that takes place through participation in dialect or dialect-related courses is part of an identity building process – it is about filling perceived ‘gaps’ in the individual’s identity, and/or extending and enhancing identity, in forging and maintaining membership of a community that is defined by its language and geographical location.

  • Shoah Germany Daniela Kranz Phd Thesis Submission Date
    Shades of Jewishness: The creation and maintenance of a liberal Jewish community in post- Shoah Germany Daniela Kranz PhD thesis Submission date: 1 Abstract This PhD thesis focuses on the creation and maintenance of the liberal Jewish community in present day Cologne, Germany. The community has the telling name Gescher LaMassoret, which translates into ‘Bridge to Tradition.’ The name gives away that this specific community, its individual members and its struggles cannot be understood without the socio-historic context of Germany and the Holocaust. Although this Jewish community is not a community of Holocaust survivors, the dichotomy Jewish-German takes various shapes within the community and surfaces in the narratives of the individual members. These narratives reflect the uniqueness of each individual in the community. While this is a truism, this individual uniqueness is a key element in Gescher LaMassoret, whose membership consists of people from various countries who have various native languages. Furthermore, the community comprises members of Jewish descent as well as Jews of conversion who are of German, non- Jewish parentage. Due to the aftermaths of the Holocaust and the fact that Gescher LaMassoret houses a vast internal diversity, the creation of this community which lacks any tradition happens through mixing and meshing the life-stories and other narratives of the members, which flow into the collective narrative of the community. On the surface, the narratives of the individual members seem in conflict, they even contradict
