Additional exchanges are possible with partner schools in Germany, Japan, and South Africa. An electronic application for all of the programs will be made available to the students. Students can also apply electronically for grants from the Funds for Global Understanding, which exist to support travel, cultural immersion, and community-based work in the developing world.

This pretensión can rarely be advanced in favour of familiar letters, written in haste for the information or entertain­ ment of private friends. Such letters are frequently among the most delightful of literary compositions, but the stamp of absolute literary perfe&ion is rarely impressed upon them. The exceptions to this rule, in English literature at least, occur principally in the epistolary litera­ ture of the eighteenth century.

Schade, Ph.D. ii Abstract In my dissertation “Atomic Apocalypse – ‘Nuclear Fiction’ in German Literature and Culture,” I investigate the portrayal of the nuclear age and its most dreaded fantasy, the nuclear apocalypse, in German fictionalizations and cultural writings. My selection contains texts of disparate natures and provenance: about fifty plays, novels, audio plays, treatises, narratives, films from 1946 to 2009. I regard these texts as a genre of their own and attempt a description of the various elements that tie them together. The fascination with the end of the world that high and popular culture have developed after 9/11 partially originated from the tradition of nuclear fiction since 1945. The Cold War has produced strong and lasting apocalyptic images in German culture that reject the traditional biblical apocalypse and that draw up a new worldview. In particular, German nuclear fiction sees the atomic apocalypse as another step towards the technical facilitation of genocide, preceded by the Jewish Holocaust with its gas chambers and ovens.

  • The Horrors of War in the History of German Literature: from Heinrich Wittenwiler and Hans Jacob Christoffel Von Grimmelshausen to Rainer Maria Remarque
    Athens Journal of Humanities & Arts 2021, 8: 1-25 https://doi.org/10.30958/ajha.X-Y-Z The Horrors of War in the History of German Literature: From Heinrich Wittenwiler and Hans Jacob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen to Rainer Maria Remarque By Albrecht Classen* As terrible as wars have always been, for the losers as well as for the winners, considering the massive killings, destruction, and general horror resulting from it all, poets throughout time have responded to this miserable situation by writing deeply moving novels, plays, poems, epic poems, and other works. The history of Germany, above all, has been filled with a long series of wars, but those have also been paralleled by major literary works describing those wars, criticizing them, and outlining the devastating consequences, here disregarding those narratives that deliberately idealized the military events. While wars take place on the ground and affect people, animals, objects, and nature at large, poets have always taken us to imaginary worlds where they could powerfully reflect on the causes and outcomes of the brutal operations. This paper takes into view some major German works from the early fifteenth through the early twentieth century in order to identify a fundamental discourse that makes war so valuable for history and culture, after all. Curiously, as we will recognize through a comparative analysis, some of the worst conditions in human history have produced some of the most aesthetically pleasing and most meaningful artistic or literary texts. So, as this paper will illustrate, the experience of war, justified or not, has been a cornerstone of medieval, early modern, and modern literature.

Biblioteca di ‘Lettere italiane’, Studi e testi, 65. Florence: Olschki, 2005. 96 pp., 67 plates. 19 euros. The seventh centenary of the birth of Francesco Petrarca (2004), as often happens on the occasion of similar events, has brought the name of the honoree to the attention of both scholars and the wider public. Unlike a hundred years ago, there was fortunately no thought of making a new monu- ment in his honor or a pilgrimage to the house and tomb of the poet, but as has already happened more than one time in the past, the celebrations were appropriate to the times. We have the inevitable but fruitless polemics against the slowness of the Edizione Nazionale delle Opere di Francesco Petrarca, born on the occasion of the preceding centenary of the poet’s birth (1904). And yet with the festivities now concluded, if we sort through the initiatives and writings that have appeared or been announced on Petrarca and his circle, the balance on the whole is positive.

  • "Aryan Papers" : the Polish Connection
    Artur Piskorz "Aryan Papers" : The Polish Connection Media – Kultura – Komunikacja Społeczna 12/2, 73-79 2016 Aryan Papers: The Polish Connection 73 Artur Piskorz Wydział Filologiczny Uniwersytet Pedagogiczny w Krakowie Aryan Papers: The Polish Connection Słowa kluczowe: Stanley Kubrick, Aryjskie papiery, adaptacja, Polska, Lista Schindlera Key words: Stanley Kubrick, Aryan Papers, adaptation, Poland, Schindler’s List “I was born a few months after the burning of the Reichstag in T., a town of about forty thousand in a part of Poland that before the Great War had belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire.” This is the opening sentence of Louis Begley’s novel Wartime Lies – the book Stanley Kubrick wanted to turn into a movie.1 To what extent Kubrick’s biography influenced his work? His Jewish heritage, for instance, does not visibly translate itself into any aspect of the narrative or imagery in his films. Christiane Kubrick answers: “Like most Jewish families, Stanley’s family came from all over that part of the continent [Europe]. His mother came from Kiev, his father from Romania. But there were also relatives from Poland.”2 To be more precise – Kubrick’s grandfather, Elias, was born in Probużna, then a small rural town. Today it is a poverty-stricken village of barely two thousand inhabitants in the Ternopil District of Western Ukraine that was part of the historical region of Galicia. Is T., “a town of about forty thousand” from Begley’s book Ternopil? Is this Kubrick sending a sentimental post card to his forefathers? Is this the main source of the appeal? “He always wanted to make a film about or around the Holocaust, with- out ever succeeding” continues Christiane Kubrick.
