    Aus: Sarah Czirr »Arbeitende Bilder« Die Skulptur im Deutschen Kaiserreich zwischen künstlerischer Aneignung und sozialer Wirklichkeit November 2018, 488 S., kart., zahlr. Abb. 49,99 € (DE), 978-3-8376-4373-2 E-Book: PDF: 49,99 € (DE), ISBN 978-3-8394-4373-6 Skulpturen im Deutschen Kaiserreich waren meist kostenintensive Auftrags- bzw. kleinformatige Reproduktionskunst mit einem hohen Grad an Öffentlichkeit. Dies scheint mit dem gerade im 19. Jahrhundert vertretenen Diktum der autonomen Kunst im Widerspruch zu stehen. Zudem war der Kunstdiskurs bestimmt von einer Kontro- verse um die Ikonografie der Moderne. Sarah Czirr untersucht in diesem Kontext das sich eröffnende Spannungsfeld von künstlerischer Aneignung und sozialer Wirklich- keit, in dem Skulpturen in Zeiten der Industrialisierung zu »arbeitenden Bildern«, zu produktiven Akteuren verschiedener Seiten werden, ohne dass die Gesetze der »Kunst- wirklichkeit« je außer Kraft treten. Sarah Czirr, geb. 1979, ist promovierte Kunsthistorikerin und wissenschaftliche Mit- arbeiterin des Instituts Moderne im Rheinland an der Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düs- seldorf.

  • Erich Mercker and “Technical Subjects”: Industrial Painting in the Eras of Weimar and Nazi Germany
    H-Labor-Arts Erich Mercker and “Technical Subjects”: Industrial Painting in the Eras of Weimar and Nazi Germany Discussion published by Patrick Jung on Saturday, October 7, 2017 (Copyright 2008, Society of Industrial Archeology and reprinted with permission) From the author: This article was published earlier in Industrial Archaeology: The Journal of the Society for Industrial Archeology, vol. 34, nos. 1 & 2. It is reproduced here on H-Labor Arts to make it available to a wider audience. I wrote this article while I was in the midst of finishing a book-length manuscript on Erich Mercker, who was, undoubtedly, one of the top industrial artists in Germany from 1919 to 1945. He and his contemporaries (e.g., Fritz Gärtner, Franz Gerwin, Ria Picco-Rückert, Leonhard Sandrock, and Richard Gessner) constituted a school of artists who I have provisionally labeled the “Heroic School” of German industrial art from 1919 to 1945. The Grohmann Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin has paintings produced by virtually all of these artists. It also has more than 90 paintings by Erich Mercker, more than any other art museum in the world. Thus, it is fitting this article should appear on the H-Labor Arts site titled “From the Grohmann….” I also hope this essay will spur more research into Mercker and his “Heroic School” contemporaries, all of whom produced some of the most stunning examples of industrial art during the course of the early twentieth century. Those interested in reading the full-length biography on Erich Mercker (for which this article paved the way) should contact the Grohmann Museum at [email protected].

  • Chapter II Feudalism: a Conceptual Analysis
    Chapter II Feudalism: A Conceptual Analysis Chapter II Feudalism: A Conceptual Analysis (A). Feudalism: A Debate: umans experienced inextricable hardships during their onward march to civilization. They traversed different historical periods to touch the H civilizational heights, and each period had specific denominations to explain production relations.1 While the ancient period characterized predominance of city states and slavery, the medieval period, institutionally speaking, was known for feudal organization of state and society.2 According to Karl Marx, human history passed through five successive formations/modes: primitive (primitive Communism), slavery, in which land belonged to rich and labour was extracted from slaves, feudal in which land belonged to feudal lords and labour was done by the serfs, capitalism in which bourgeoisie controlled the industries and labour was provided by the proletariat, and Socialism/Communism where means and forces of production would be controlled commonly by the working class. All these stages characterized progressive epochs of economic formations of society.3 Feudalism formed a dominant institution of medieval society. The scholars attach different meanings to it. During the 17th century, it described all unfair and outdated laws or customs associated with the administration of the fiefs and traditional rights enjoyed by the warrior aristocracy. The word gained currency with Montesquieu‟s definition about it in his classical work De L’Esprit des Lois (The Spirit of Laws) in 1748. Since then, it remained the subject matter of debate among 1 Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, Collected Works, Vol. 13, New York: International Publishers, 1961, p.9. 2 Paul Vinogradoff, “Feudalism,” Cambridge Medieval History, London, Vol.

  • Der Schriftsteller Herbert Eulenberg (1876-1949) Ein "Ehrenbürger Der Welt'' Aus Kaiserswerth Am Rhein Von Joseph A
    Porträt Der Schriftsteller Herbert Eulenberg (1876-1949) Ein "Ehrenbürger der Welt'' aus Kaiserswerth am Rhein Von Joseph A. Kruse, Düsseldorf 1. Zu seinem Lobe ist vieles gesagt und geschrieben worden, doch war auch ein relativierender Tadel stets schnell bei der Hand. Der Berliner Theaterrezensent Alfred Kerr sparte während der Hochblüte des Naturalismus, dem Herber! Eulenberg seine neuromantisehe Dramatik entgegen­ setzte, zu Ende des ersten Jahrzehnts des 20. Jahrhunderts nicht an deutlich vernichtender Kritik, wobei er sich damals freilich von der Begabung des Beurteilten durchaus noch etwas Größeres erhoffte. Über den "Ritter Blaubart", ein Märchenstück von 1906, heißt es, Eulenberg sei "bald der kleine Herber! mit den Kinderaugen", "bald Privatdozent an der Universität". Der Dichter wird zuerst positiv charakterisiert, gleich darauf aber mit einer eindringlichen Mahnung ver­ sehen: "Ein blühender Rheinländer sind Sie, mit liebenswerten Eigenschaften". Das entziehe ihn nicht der Verpflichtung, "einmal etwas Starkes zu geben." In Klammern fügt Kerr erläuternd hinzu: "Statt vielerlei zu geben, was vielfältig ist ohne stark zu sein." Im anschließenden Hinweis nimmt er, dessen Treffsicherheit berüchtigt war, noch weniger ein Blatt vor den Mund: "Ihr Weg ist falsch, ändern Sie ihn. Wer seinen Mannessamen täglich opfert, zeugt vetwässerte Kinder." Und über das bürgerliche Lustspiel "Der natürliche Vater" von 1909 schreibt der bedeutende Kritiker, nunmehr ungeduldig und eher nichts Gutes mehr ahnend: "Immer zwecklos redend; immer völlig

DOI: The Role of British and German Historians in Mobilizing Public Opinion in 1914 HARTMUT POGGE VON STRANDMANN State and nation were the prime subjects of most modern historians in both Germany and Britain before the First World War. Whatever their political outlook historians tended to look upon themselves as high priests of a school of thought through which they were able to demonstrate to the political establishment and its leaders how much their polit- ical actions were embedded in some sort of positive histori- cal continuity. There was a tendency amongst British and German historians to emphasize in their history-writing the special character and uniqueness of their own particular state and its political culture.

  • Das Literarische Porträt
    Das literarische Porträt Quellen, Vorbilder und Modelle in Thomas Manns Doktor Faustus vorgelegt von Thomas Schneider Von der Fakultät I - Geisteswissenschaften der Technischen Universität Berlin zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Doktor der Philosophie – Dr. phil. – genehmigte Dissertation 1. Berichter: Prof. Dr. Norbert Miller 2. Berichter: Prof. Dr. Werner Röcke (HUB) Tag der wissenschaftlichen Aussprache: 28.05.2004 Berlin 2004 D 83 LEERE SEITE Abstract The dissertation examines Thomas Mann’s literary technique of basing the characters in his novels on sources, examples and models, and uses the word “portrait“ to describe this process. It is built around the fact that Thomas Mann in his work resorted to autobiographical experiences and memories of relatives, friends, colleagues and contemporaries, and also based figures, scenarios and even the smallest details on original images and pictures. In this context, four areas can be distinguished which account for the various facets of the portrait-like manner in which the characters of Thomas Mann are formed: from the reactions of the person concerned and the surroundings, from the precise description in the novel of the characters based on example, from the analysis of the permutations and combinations of individual features thus undertaken, and from the self-depictions of the author, a poetology of the literary portrait is formed. Against the background of the contemporary practice of art in his environs, Thomas Mann’s affinity to fine arts blossomed. Not only Thomas Mann’s essays, letters or other musings on art, art theory and especially genre portrayals, but above all his own statements and definitions allow poetological positions and demarcations to become visible.

Secondly, there were precedents for the king of England doing something against his will. Finally, there were unintended consequences once parliament passed this statute. The passage of the statute effectively outlawed subinfeudation in all fee simple estates. It also detailed how land was able to be transferred from one possessor to another. Prior to this statute being signed into law, a lord owed the King feudal incidences, which are fees or services of various types, paid by each property holder. In some cases, these fees were due in the form of knights and fighting soldiers along with the weapons and armor to support them. The number of these knights owed depended on the amount of land held. Lords in many cases would transfer land to another person and that person would now owe the feudal incidences to his new lord, not the original one.
