  • Inscape Cultural Study Society
    INSCAPE CULTURAL STUDY SOCIETY THE HUDSON RIVER OF INVENTION, VALLEY OF HOPE THURSDAY 9 TO MONDAY 20 OCTOBER 2014 NICHOLAS FRIEND Along the 315 mile length of the Hudson River which flows through eastern New York State from the Adirondacks to the Statue of Liberty, much that we value in American culture was conceived: New York City began, as New Amsterdam, on the Hudson. American landscape painting was born on the Hudson, as was the landscape conservation movement. The Shakers led by Ann Lee emigrated from England to thrive at New Lebanon, on the Hudson. The first commercially successful paddle steamboat line occurred not on the Mississippi, but on the Hudson, and America’s first regularly scheduled rail service connected New York City with Albany, the state capital at the mouth of the Hudson. Churchill first met Roosevelt at FDR’s country house at Hyde Park on the Hudson. It is not too much to say that the American dream itself was created and sustained on the Hudson. We familiarise ourselves with an approximately 80-mile long area, the heart of the valley where New Yorkers and others seeking refreshment and solace from concrete jungles have flocked since the Industrial Revolution. When viewed from the water, the Manhattan skyscrapers in their majestic profusion echo the Palisades, the dramatic natural cliffs rising vertically from the water along the west side of the lower Hudson River. Spanning the time between their formation 200 million years ago and the topping on May 2013 of America’s tallest building, One World Trade Center, is a story of an extraordinary expansion and respect for life along the shores of the Hudson, an area of such valued natural beauty it is called America’s Rhineland.

  • Local Expellee Monuments and the Contestation of German Postwar Memory
    To Our Dead: Local Expellee Monuments and the Contestation of German Postwar Memory by Jeffrey P. Luppes A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Germanic Languages and Literatures) in The University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Professor Andrei S. Markovits, Chair Professor Geoff Eley Associate Professor Julia C. Hell Associate Professor Johannes von Moltke © Jeffrey P. Luppes 2010 To My Parents ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Writing a dissertation is a long, arduous, and often lonely exercise. Fortunately, I have had unbelievable support from many people. First and foremost, I would like to thank my advisor and dissertation committee chair, Andrei S. Markovits. Andy has played the largest role in my development as a scholar. In fact, his seminal works on German politics, German history, collective memory, anti-Americanism, and sports influenced me intellectually even before I arrived in Ann Arbor. The opportunity to learn from and work with him was the main reason I wanted to attend the University of Michigan. The decision to come here has paid off immeasurably. Andy has always pushed me to do my best and has been a huge inspiration—both professionally and personally—from the start. His motivational skills and dedication to his students are unmatched. Twice, he gave me the opportunity to assist in the teaching of his very popular undergraduate course on sports and society. He was also always quick to provide recommendation letters and signatures for my many fellowship applications. Most importantly, Andy helped me rethink, re-work, and revise this dissertation at a crucial point.

Das übliche fade Einordnen, auch in den USA beliebte journalistische Fingerübung, fällt Mayer schwer: Ist die Kanzlerin „sozialliberal“, „jenseits vom Christdemokrati- schen“ oder „bloß vorsichtig“? Jedenfalls, seufzt sie, fänden 70% der Deutschen sie sympathisch. Nach ihrem Leben und Erleben in der DDR sei Angela Merkel hilfsbereit bis nach Af-ghanistan. Mit Obama teile sie die Ansicht, Führung müsse auf ein Zuviel an Macht verzichten. Und in Brüssel zwinge sie auch Widerstrebende zu der Einsicht, dass man mit national- - “souveränen“ Taktiken auf der Welt scheitern müsse. Es sei zwar wahr, dass niemand genau sagen könne, was diese Deutsche mit ihrer Macht künftig anstellen wolle, doch seit dem Fall der Mauer habe sie immer wieder mit Argumenten überzeugt. Was kann Europa denn mehr wollen als solche Testate ? Und nun geht unser Blick nach Berlin... Am Sonntag vor der CDU-Vorstandsklausur richteten vier Provinz-Mandatare der Partei ihre Blasrohre gegen die Kanzlerin und wiederholten in der FAZ sorgfältig, also scheinbar von Sorgen gefaltet, was nicht nur FAZ und WELT basso ostinato seit der Bundestagswahl immer neu wiederholen.

  • Antwort Der Bundesregierung
    Deutscher Bundestag Drucksache 12/5591 12. Wahlperiode 26. 08. 93 Antwort der Bundesregierung - auf die Kleine Anfrage der Abgeordneten Ulla Jelpke und der Gruppe der PDS/Linke Liste — Drucksache 12/5515 — Deutschlandtreffen der Schlesier 1993 in Nürnberg Unter dem Motto „Unsere Heimat heißt Schlesien" fand am 10. und 11. Juli 1993 das Deutschlandtreffen der Schlesier statt. „Daß nach einem Abstand von 20 Jahren wiederum Nürnberg als Veranstaltungs- ort gewählt wurde", war nach Angaben des „Schlesier" vom 9. Juli 1993 „allein dem besonderen Entgegenkommen der Bayerischen Staatsregie- rung" zu verdanken. In der gleichen Ausgabe der Zeitung „Der Schlesier" begrüßt der NPD- Bezirksverband Mittelfranken in einer Anzeige „die schlesischen Landsleute zum Deutschlandtreffen in Nürnberg!". Aber auch Bundeskanzler Dr. Helmut Kohl hat seine Verbundenheit mit den Schlesiern durch ein Grußwort zum Ausdruck gebracht und darin u. a. betont, daß „die 700jährige Geschichte und Kultur des deutschen Ostens ein Bestandteil des Erbes der ganzen deutschen Nation" und „ein Gebot historischer Wahrhaftigkeit" sei. Weiter führt er aus: „Mir persönlich liegt viel daran, dieses große Erbe zu bewahren und zu pfle- gen. Es ist ein Erbe, das lebendig bleibt, weil es ein unverlierbarer • Bestandteil unserer Geschichte ist." Einige Bundestagsabgeordnete wurden auf dem Deutschlandtreffen vom stellvertretenden Bundesvorsitzenden der Landsmannschaft Schle- sien, Heinz Lorenz, begrüßt. Die CDU-Abgeordnete E rika Steinbach Hermann z. B. hielt ein Kurzreferat mit dem Thema „Wir Vertriebenen können Vorbild sein". Der fraktionslose Abgeordnete Ortwin Lowack leitete die Deutschlandkundgebung in der Frankenhalle. Der CSU-Abgeordnete Michael Glos hielt eine Rede auf dieser Kund- gebung. Während dieser Rede kam es zu Tumulten, als Mitglieder der NPD-Jugend (Junge Nationaldemokraten, JN) Transparente entrollten, auf denen zu lesen war: „Verzicht ist Verrat" oder „Auf Kohl verzichten wir, auf Schlesien nicht".

    1325_A42-A47.qxd 11/30/07 1:22 PM Page 961 310-567/B428-S/11005 Germany and Berlin, 1969–1972 961 the Soviets might change their position. Chancellor Brandt stated that he was not sure; he thought so but that, in any event, he looked for ratification of the treaty sometime in May and hoped that there would be improved transit to East Berlin by Eastertime, so that the reverse linkage problem may ultimately be finessed. Foreign Minister Scheel stated that the Soviets had not been particularly intelligent about this issue. He had raised it with Gromyko in Moscow12 and Gromyko had informed him that Brezhnev had his reputation intertwined with the Moscow treaty and, therefore, they had to be secure with respect to its ratification. Secretary Rogers stated that the problem was that they had moved from a position of no linkage to reverse linkage and that, in ef- fect, this helped us. The group bade farewell and President Nixon issued instructions for the departure ceremony and the movement of the Chancellor and his party by helicopter back to Sarasota.13 12 Scheel was in Moscow November 25–30 for meetings with Brezhnev, Kosygin, and Gromyko. For the text of an announcement on the visit, issued by the West German Foreign Office on December 2, see Texte zur Deutschlandpolitik, Vol. 9, pp. 241–244. 13 For the text of remarks exchanged between Nixon and Brandt at the end of the meeting on December 29, as well as the text of the joint statement issued on the same day, see Department of State Bulletin, January 24, 1972, pp.
