  • Weaponized Humor: the Cultural Politics Of
    WEAPONIZED HUMOR: THE CULTURAL POLITICS OF TURKISH-GERMAN ETHNO-COMEDY by TIM HÖLLERING B.A. Georg-August Universität Göttingen, 2008 M.Ed., Georg-August Universität Göttingen, 2010 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Germanic Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) June 2016 © Tim Höllering, 2016 Abstract My thesis aims to show how the humor of Turkish-German ethno-comedians fulfills a double purpose of entertaining its audience while advancing a cultural political agenda that Kathrin Bower called “transnational humanism.” It includes notions of human rights consensus, critical self-reflection, respect, tolerance, and openness to cultural diversity. Promoting these values through comedy, the artists hope to contribute to abating prejudice and discrimination in Germany’s multi-ethnic society. Fusing the traditional theatrical principle of “prodesse et delectare” with contemporary cultural politics, these comedians produce something of political relevance: making their audience aware of its conceptions of “self” and “other” and fostering a sense of community across diverse cultural identifications. My thesis builds mainly on the works of Kathrin Bower, Maha El Hissy, Erol Boran, Deniz Göktürk, and Christie Davies. Whereas Davies denies humor’s potential for cultural impact, Göktürk elucidates its destabilizing power in immigrant films. Boran elaborates this function for Turkish-German Kabarett. El Hissy connects Kabarett, film, and theater of polycultural artists and ties them to Bakhtin’s concept of the carnivalesque and the medieval jester. Bower published several essays on the works of ethno-comedians as humorous catalysts for advancing a multiethnic Germany.

  • Joseph Fouché
    Stefan Zweig Joseph Fouché Bildnis eines politischen Menschen Arthur Schnitzler in liebender Verehrung 2 Vorwort Joseph Fouché, einer der mächtigsten Männer seiner Zeit, einer der merkwürdigsten aller Zeiten, hat wenig Liebe gefunden bei seiner Mitwelt und noch weniger Gerechtigkeit bei der Nachwelt. Napoleon auf St. Helena, Robespierre bei den Jakobinern, Carnot, Barras, Talleyrand in ihren Memoiren, allen französischen Geschichtsschreibern, ob royalistisch, republikanisch oder bonapartistisch, läuft sofort Galle in die Feder, sobald sie nur seinen Namen hinschreiben. Geborener Verräter, armseliger Intrigant, glatte Reptiliennatur, gewerbsmäßiger Überläufer, niedrige Polizeiseele, erbärmlicher Immoralist – kein verächtliches Schimpfwort wird an ihm gespart, und weder Lamartine noch Michelet noch Louis Blanc versuchen ernstlich, seinem Charakter oder vielmehr seiner bewunderswert beharrlichen Charakterlosigkeit nachzuspüren. Zum erstenmal erscheint seine Gestalt in wirklichem Lebensumriß in jener monumentalen Biographie Louis Madelins (der diese wie jede andere Studie den Großteil ihres Tatsachenmaterials verdankt); sonst hat die Geschichte einen Mann, der innerhalb einer Weltwende alle Parteien geführt und als einziger sie überdauert, der im psychologischen Zweikampf einen Napoleon und einen Robespierre besiegte, ganz still in die rückwärtige Reihe der unbeträchtlichen Figuranten abgeschoben. Ab und zu geistert seine Gestalt noch durch ein Napoleonstück oder eine Napoleonoperette, aber dann meist in der abgegriffenen schematischen Charge des gerissenen Polizeiministers, eines vorausgeahnten Sherlock Holmes; flache Darstellung verwechselt ja immer eine Rolle des Hintergrunds mit einer Nebenrolle. Ein einziger hat diese einzigartige Figur groß gesehen aus seiner eigenen Größe, und zwar nicht der Geringste: Balzac. Dieser hohe und gleichzeitig durchdringende Geist, der nicht nur auf die Schaufläche der Zeit, sondern immer auch hinter die Kulissen blickte, hat rückhaltlos Fouché als den psychologisch interessantesten Charakter seines Jahrhunderts erkannt.

The Rochester Bestiary is an outstanding example of a manuscript with many pictures of dogs. It is almost unbelievable that, at the beginning of the 13th century, artists could create such a beautiful and accurate work.

  • Amusements in Mathematics, by Henry Ernest Dudeney
    Transcribers note: Many of the puzzles in this book assume a familiarity with the currency of Great Britain in the early 1900s. As this is likely not common knowledge for those outside Britain (and possibly many within,) I am including a chart of relative values. The most common units used were: the Penny, abbreviated: d. (from the Roman penny, denarius) the Shilling, abbreviated: s. the Pound, abbreviated: £ There was 12 Pennies to a Shilling and 20 Shillings to a Pound, so there was 240 Pennies in a Pound. To further complicate things, there were many coins which were various fractional values of Pennies, Shillings or Pounds. Farthing ¼d. Half-penny ½d. Penny 1d. Three-penny 3d. Sixpence (or tanner) 6d. Shilling (or bob) 1s. Florin or two shilling piece 2s. Half-crown (or half-dollar) 2s. 6d. Double-florin 4s. Crown (or dollar) 5s. Half-Sovereign 10s. Sovereign (or Pound) £1 or 20s. This is by no means a comprehensive list, but it should be adequate to solve the puzzles in this book.

    THINGS YOU DON’T KNOW ABOUT CATS By Charles Platt Author of “Cat Superstitions,” “Mummy Cats,” “Intelligence In Animals,” “Are Animals Immortal?” “Peculiarities Of The Cat World,” “Why We Keep Pets,” “Why Cats Purr,” Etc. Andrew Melrose Ltd. London & New York Printed in Great Britain by Billing and Sons, Ltd., Guildford and Esher Dedicated to that intelligent little friend my orange long- haired cat yclept Treckie. CONTENTS I – The Cat’s Unique Position II - Mummy Cats III – Colour in Cats IV – Pussy’s name V – The Cat in History VI – Superstitions about Cats VII – Mentality in Cats VIII – Cat and Other Animal Anecdotes IX – The Cat’s Senses X – Pussy’s Structure XI – Concerning Cats, Large and Small XII – Cats in Captivity XIII - Are Animals Immortal? XIV – Those Interesting Kittens XV - Curious Points in Cats Bibliography CHAPTER I - THE CAT'S UNIQUE POSITION Do you know that Puss has five toes on each of her front paws, but only four each on the back ones? The Cat holds a very uncommon position in the animal kingdom, and there are many interesting points about her that most people know nothing of. Puss has been a domestic pet and a companion of Man for many centuries, and it is impossible to get back historically to the time when this was not the case. We cannot, therefore, explain why Man first made a pet of the Cat, unless it was because of its utility as a mouser. We are then faced with the natural query: How was it discovered that Puss was a useful vermin-killer? It is the old problem again, in a new form: Which came first, the hen or the egg? It is not generally realised that no savage race has ever made pets of Cats.
