  • Modern Surface and Postmodern Simulation a Retrospective Retrieval
    introduction Modern Surface and Postmodern Simulation A Retrospective Retrieval Denn was innen, das ist außen! Johann Wolfgang von Goethe agendas of surface and simulacrum It is in our time that the Enlightenment project has reached its ultimate implosion. In visual terms, the twentieth century of the western hemi- sphere will be remembered as the century in which content yielded to form, text to image, depth to façade, and Sein to Schein. For over a hundred years, mass cultural phenomena have been growing in importance, taking over from elite structures of cultural expression to become sites where real power resides, and dominating ever more surely our social imaginary. As reflections of the processes of capitalist industrialization in forms clad for popular consumption, these manifestations are literal and conceptual expressions of surface:1 they promote external appearance to us in such arenas as architecture, advertising, film, and fashion. Located as we are at the outset of the new millennium, some may recognize with trepidation that mass culture is becoming so wedded to highly orchestrated and intru- sive electronic formats that there seems to be less and less opportunity for any creative maieutics, or participatory “wiggle room.” Modernity’s sur- faces, entirely site-and-street-specific yet mobile and mobilizing, have been replaced by the stasis of the fluid mobility granted to our perception by the technologies of television, the VCR, the World Wide Web, and vir- tual reality.2 Perhaps as a result of this underlying discomfort, we appear to have a case of what Fredric Jameson has called “inverted millenarianism”:3 rather than look forward at future developments, we choose, almost apotropai- 1 2 / Introduction cally, to look back at how mass culture emerged in the first place.

  • A Tear in the Iron Curtain: the Impact of Western Television on Consumption Behavior
    A Tear in the Iron Curtain: The Impact of Western Television on Consumption Behavior Leonardo Bursztyn and Davide Cantoni∗ August 2014 Abstract This paper examines the impact of exposure to foreign media on the economic behavior of agents in a totalitarian regime. We study private consumption choices focusing on former East Germany, where differential access to Western television was determined by geographic features. Using data collected after the transition to a market economy, we find no evidence of a significant impact of previous exposure to Western television on aggregate consumption lev- els. However, exposure to Western broadcasts affects the composition of consumption, biasing choices in favor of categories of goods with high intensity of pre-reunification advertisement. The effects vanish by 1998. Keywords: Consumption, Media, Television, Advertising, East Germany, Communism JEL Classification: D12, E21, Z10 ∗Bursztyn: UCLA Anderson School of Management.

INSTITUTION Inter Nationes, Bonn (West Germany). PUB DATE 92 NOTE 52p.; Translated by Brangwyn Jones. PUB TYPE Reports Evaluative/Feasibility (142) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC03 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Developing Nations; Foreign Countries; Freedom of Speech; *Mass Media; *Mass Media Effects; *Mass Media Role; Media Research; Professional Training; Technological Advancement IDENTIFIERS *Germany; Historical Background; Journalists; Market Analysis; Media Government Relationship; Media Ownership; Third World; *West Germany ABSTRACT Citing statistics that show that its citizens are well catered for by the mass media, this paper answers questions concerning the media landscape in the Federal Republic of Germany. The paper discusses: (1) Structure and framework conditions of the German media (a historical review of the mass media since 1945); (2) Press (including its particular reliance on local news and the creation of the world status media group, Bertelsmann AG);(3) News agencies and public relations work (which insure a "never-ending stream" of information);(4) Radio and Television (with emphasis on the Federal Republic's surprisingly large number of radio stations--public, commercial, and "guest");(5) New communication paths and media (especially communication and broadcasting satellites and cable in wideband-channel networks);(6) The profession of journalist (which still relies on on-the-job training rather than university degrees); and (7) Help for the media in the Third World (professional training in Germany of journalists and technical experts from underdeveloped countries appears to be the most appropriate way to promote Third World media).

Eine Aufforderung Ein Leben, wie es vordergründig kurz zusammen- dem Nachlass erschienen 1983), ist Arno Schmidt gefasst werden kann: 1979 in Celle gestorben. Geboren 1914 in Hamburg. Hier erlebt Arno Schmidt Dies durch Kriegs- und Nachkriegserlebnis geprägte die ersten prägenden Jahre als sensibles Kind in Leben ist in mancher Hinsicht beispielhaft für diese kleinbürgerlicher Enge, wobei natürlich offen bleibt, Generation. Und Leser hätten sich zahlreich mit den inwieweit seine Aufzeichnungen über diese Zeit die Helden der Erzählungen und Romane Arno Schmidts Wirklichkeit des Kindes zu einer im Alter genehmen identifizieren können, aber der große Erfolg bleibt Pose stilisieren. Gleiches gilt für die Jugendjahre und vorerst aus. Zum einen schreibt Arno Schmidt nach die Oberrealschulzeit in Lauban bzw. in Görlitz.

  • Anti ‑Romani Terrorism in Europe 1
    Anti ‑Romani terrorism in Europe 1 Miroslav MAREŠ Politics in Central Europe (ISSN: 1801-3422) Vol. 12, No. 2 DOI: 10.1515/pce-2016-0013 Abstract: This article analyzes terrorism against the Roma in Europe. It identifies acts of terrorism in violence that targets the largest stateless nation on the continent and categorizes this terrorism according to current research methods. Focusing on events in both Western and Eastern Europe, the article analyses and compares the most significant terrorist acts against the Roma of recent years. It concludes that anti ‑Romani terrorism is heterogeneous in terms of tactics, strategies, and ideological justification, yet can usually be subsumed into the broadly conceived category of far ‑right terrorism. The variety of attacks suggests that terrorist acts are an offshoot of the broad spectrum of anti‑Romani activity, and are influenced by contemporary trends in inter ‑ethnic violence. Key words: Romani people, terrorism, Europe, far right, racist violence Introduction For several decades now, a wave of substantial anti ‑Romani violence has been present in Europe, a continent on which the Roma are the largest stateless ethnic group or nation. This article analyzes violence against the Roma throu‑ gh the prism of terrorism. The issue is examined from the point of view of the victims—members of the Romani population or its constituent ethnicities. Building upon this basis, the strategies of the terrorists themselves are analyzed and categorized according to the generally respected typologies of terrorism. In order to do this, a framework for analysis is first introduced; this is based on the typologies of terrorism in general and those of far ‑right terrorism in 1 This article was written as part of the grant project GAČR GA408/11/0709 “Contemporary challenges of democracy in East Central Europe,” funded by the Czech Science Foundation.
