Mind-Crafting: Anticipatory Critique of Transhumanist Mind-Uploading in German High Modernist Novels Nathan Jensen Bates A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2018 Reading Committee: Richard Block, Chair Sabine Wilke Ellwood Wiggins Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Germanics ©Copyright 2018 Nathan Jensen Bates University of Washington Abstract Mind-Crafting: Anticipatory Critique of Transhumanist Mind-Uploading in German High Modernist Novels Nathan Jensen Bates Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Richard Block Germanics This dissertation explores the question of how German modernist novels anticipate and critique the transhumanist theory of mind-uploading in an attempt to avert binary thinking. German modernist novels simulate the mind and expose the indistinct limits of that simulation. Simulation is understood in this study as defined by Jean Baudrillard in Simulacra and Simulation. The novels discussed in this work include Thomas Mann’s Der Zauberberg; Hermann Broch’s Die Schlafwandler; Alfred Döblin’s Berlin Alexanderplatz: Die Geschichte von Franz Biberkopf; and, in the conclusion, Irmgard Keun’s Das Kunstseidene Mädchen is offered as a field of future inquiry. These primary sources disclose at least three aspects of the mind that are resistant to discrete articulation; that is, the uploading or extraction of the mind into a foreign context. A fourth is proposed, but only provisionally, in the conclusion of this work. The aspects resistant to uploading are defined and discussed as situatedness, plurality, and adaptability to ambiguity. Each of these aspects relates to one of the three steps of mind- uploading summarized in Nick Bostrom’s treatment of the subject. -
The Monita Secreta Or, As It Was Also Known As, The
James Bernauer, S.J. Boston College From European Anti-Jesuitism to German Anti-Jewishness: A Tale of Two Texts “Jews and Jesuits will move heaven and hell against you.” --Kurt Lüdecke, in conversation with Adolf Hitleri A Presentation at the Conference “Honoring Stanislaw Musial” Jagiellonian University, Krakow, Poland (March 5, 2009) The current intense debate about the significance of “political religion” as a mode of analyzing fascism leads us to the core of the crisis in understanding the Holocaust.ii Saul Friedländer has written of an “historian‟s paralysis” that “arises from the simultaneity and the interaction of entirely heterogeneous phenomena: messianic fanaticism and bureaucratic structures, pathological impulses and administrative decrees, archaic attitudes within an advanced industrial society.”iii Despite the conflicting voices in the discussion of political religion, the debate does acknowledge two relevant facts: the obvious intermingling in Nazism of religious and secular phenomena; secondly, the underestimated role exercised by Munich Catholicism in the early life of the Nazi party.iv My essay is an effort to illumine one thread in this complex territory of political religion and Nazism and my title conveys its hypotheses. First, that the centuries long polemic against the Roman Catholic religious order the Jesuits, namely, its fabrication of the Jesuit image as cynical corrupter of Christianity and European culture, provided an important template for the Nazi imagining of Jewry after its emancipation.v This claim will be exhibited in a consideration of two historically influential texts: the Monita 1 secreta which demonized the Jesuits and the Protocols of the Sages of Zion which diabolized the Jews.vi In the light of this examination, I shall claim that an intermingled rhetoric of Jesuit and Jewish wills to power operated in the imagination of some within the Nazi leadership, the most important of whom was Adolf Hitler himself. -

THE NAZI BLOOD PURGE OF 1934 APPRCWBD": \r H M^jor Professor 7 lOLi Minor Professor •n p-Kairman of the DeparCTieflat. of History / cr^LtxJ~<2^ Dean oiTKe Graduate School IV Burkholder, Vaughn, The Nazi Blood Purge of 1934. Master of Arts, History, August, 1972, 147 pp., appendix, bibliography, 160 titles. This thesis deals with the problem of determining the reasons behind the purge conducted by various high officials in the Nazi regime on June 30-July 2, 1934. Adolf Hitler, Hermann Goring, SS leader Heinrich Himmler, and others used the purge to eliminate a sizable and influential segment of the SA leadership, under the pretext that this group was planning a coup against the Hitler regime. Also eliminated during the purge were sundry political opponents and personal rivals. Therefore, to explain Hitler's actions, one must determine whether or not there was a planned putsch against him at that time. Although party and official government documents relating to the purge were ordered destroyed by Hermann GcTring, certain materials in this category were used. Especially helpful were the Nuremberg trial records; Documents on British Foreign Policy, 1919-1939; Documents on German Foreign Policy, 1918-1945; and Foreign Relations of the United States, Diplomatic Papers, 1934. Also, first-hand accounts, contem- porary reports and essays, and analytical reports of a /1J-14 secondary nature were used in researching this topic. Many memoirs, written by people in a position to observe these events, were used as well as the reports of the American, British, and French ambassadors in the German capital. -

Read the speech online: www.bundespraesident.de Page 1 of 4 Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier in a video message for the digital ceremony “Thinker, Poet, Democrat. Heinrich Mann on his 150th Birthday” in Berlin on 25 March 2021 Good evening from Schloss Bellevue, wherever you are tuning in from. This is not the first time that Berlin’s Academy of the Arts is hosting a ceremony in Heinrich Mann’s honour. In March 1931, invitations were issued for an event on the premises of the Prussian Academy of Arts to congratulate the newly elected Chairman of its Literature Section on his 60th birthday. The guests at the time included Ricarda Huch and Alfred Döblin, and the speakers were Max Liebermann, Adolf Grimme and Thomas Mann. They hailed the great man as a modern artist and “clandestine politician”, as a “grand écrivain” and “European moralist”. That was how the writer Heinrich Mann was feted at the time, in the Weimar Republic. What a wonderful, illustrious gathering to mark his birthday. Today, the Academy of the Arts has issued another invitation to honour Heinrich Mann, this time on his 150th birthday. The setting is, for various reasons, slightly different than it was back then, with a livestream as opposed to a gala reception, a video message as opposed to a speech, and the Federal President in attendance as opposed to the great man’s brother and Nobel Laureate. Nevertheless, I am delighted that we want to try this evening to revive the spirit of Heinrich Mann and his age. We want to take a closer look at a writer, who after his death in 1950 was co opted by the GDR for its own political ends, who was eclipsed in West Germany by his renowned younger brother, and who is not forgotten yet whose works are seldom read today. -

Who Is Expatriated by Hitler: an Evidence Problem in Administrative Law
May, 1942 WHO IS EXPATRIATED BY HITLER: AN EVIDENCE PROBLEM IN ADMINISTRATIVE LAW ROBERT M. W. KEMPNERt Tens of thousands of the 315,000 residents of the United States who are tabulated as Germans in the alien registration of 194o 1 are technically not German citizens. In 1942, the persons belonging to this group had the occasion to state under oath in their application for a certificate of identification 2 that they are citizens or subjects of no country. In fact, most of these refugees from Nazi oppression are stateless and no longer owe allegiance or loyalty to the German Reich because they have been expatriated. The sole allegiance they owe is to the United States since nearly all of them have declared their intention to become citizens of the United States. Ninety percent of them live in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and California. The question whether or not a resident of the United States be- longs to this group of expatriated persons is of utmost importance to courts, alien enemy hearing boards, loyalty boards, attorneys, Federal, State, and local government agencies; e. g., the State, War, and Navy Departments, the Treasury, the Federal attorneys, the FBI, and the Immigration and Naturalization Service. In wartime, the answer will be essential for many legal or administrative decisions, e. g., for the admittance of an immigrant to the United States, naturalization of a German born person, permits for employment in certain defense plants, control of travel, supervision of blocked accounts, searches of homes, special assignment in the services of the armed forces.
