Storage Unit: 91g Storage Unit: 91h Scope and Content This archive contains the correspondence of Marta Feuchtwanger, wife of German-Jewish writer Lion Feuchtwanger, who survived her husband by almost thirty years. Marta Feuchtwanger remained an important figure in the exile community and devoted the remainder of her life after his death to promoting the work of her husband. The collection contains Marta Feuchtwanger's personal correspondence, texts and manuscripts by her and others, royalty statements received for the works of her husband, correspondence with publishers, and newspaper clippings mentioning Lion and Marta Feuchtwanger and other exiles. The collection also includes correspondence regarding the establishment and administration of the Feuchtwanger Memorial Library and Villa Aurora. In addition, the collection includes a series called "Carl Franklin Papers". Dr. Carl M. Franklin was Vice President Emeritus and Professor of Law at USC. From 1970, he served as Vice President of Legal Affairs. He and his wife were also very involved in fundraising, raising over $150 million for USC during their lifetime. The Carl Franklin Papers contain correspondence related to the transfer of the Feuchtwanger Estate to USC. Another series, "Hilde Waldo", contains personal correspondence, financial papers, medical bills, and other personal paperwork of Hilde Waldo. Ms. Waldo first served as a secretary to Lion Feuchtwanger. After his death, she continued to work for Marta Feuchtwanger. Biographical/Historical note Marta Feuchtwanger was born Marta Loeffler on December 21, 1891 in Germany. In 1912 she married German-Jewish writer Lion Feuchtwanger and went with him into exile during WWII. First they lived in Southern France in Sanary-sur-mer but had to flee in 1940. They escaped to the US in 1940. Marta and her husband Lion moved to Los Angeles in early 1941 where they eventually bought a house at 520 Paseo Miramar. During WWII the Feuchtwanger's house became a well-known gathering place for German-speaking exiles and their American friends. Both Marta and Lion also helped others persecuted by the Nazis to escape from Europe. After Lion Feuchtwanger's death in 1958, Marta dedicated her life to keeping his memory and his work alive. She willed her house and Lion's invaluable library to USC and became the first curator of the Feuchtwanger Memorial Library. Marta assisted researchers and gave tours to USC students on a regular basis and received an honorable doctorate from USC in 1981. Marta survived her husband by almost 30 years. She died in Santa Monica in 1987.

  • Karl Valentin's Illogical Subversion: Issues Arising from Das Aquarium and Liesl Karlstadt's Verein Der Katzenfreunde
    Oliver Double & Michael Wilson Karl Valentin's illogical subversion: issues arising from Das Aquarium and Liesl Karlstadt's Verein der Katzenfreunde Valentin Ludwig Fey was born on 4 June 1882 in the Munich suburb of Au, effectively the only child of an artisan-class family – his sister and two brothers all died in early childhood before Valentin Ludwig was even six months old. Valentin himself only narrowly survived a childhood encounter with diptheria (all of which, perhaps unsurprisingly, contributed to his ever-increasing hypochondria1), but he went on to become Karl Valentin, arguably the most famous German comedian and cabaret performer of his generation. Popular Entertainment in Munich The popular entertainment scene in Munich in the early years of the twentieth century was a vibrant mix of the traditional Volkssänger culture, Salonhumoristen and the more overtly political cabaret established by figures like Frank Wedekind and frequented by the Bohemian intellectual community. Volkssänger is a notoriously difficult word to translate in this context. Literally meaning „folksinger‟ (the term preferred by Robert Eben Sackett in his book Popular Entertainment, Class, and Politics in Munich, 1900- 19232 it is important not to equate these performers with the agrarian working-class amateur singers who acted as the informants of the great folksong collectors such as Cecil Sharpe or Sabine Baring-Gould in England, nor with the professional musicians who emerged from the „folk revival‟ of the 1950s and 1960s. The Volkssänger was a popular entertainer who „came from the common people (…) lived among them and knew what troubled their hearts‟3 and a more useful comparison would be with the artists of the British Music Hall.

  • Research Opportunities in Munich Yvonne Shafer
    FALL 1991 235 Research Opportunities in Munich Yvonne Shafer Munich is both a theatrical city and a city with a great deal of theatre. Throughout the city are interesting theatre buildings, important theatre collections, museums with theatrical material, and statues relating to theatre. The theatres, their archives, and theatre collections are accessible and public transportation in Munich is excellent. Theatre ranges from puppet shows to the classics-indeed, one can see Faust performed as a puppet show as Goethe first intended it. In the handsome theatre lobbies, there is an air of excitement and sophistication as the theatre-goers drink champagne and discuss the performances. The audiences are very responsive: they laugh a great deal in plays received very earnestly in America, applaud thunderously when a play is good, and boo long and loud when they do not care for a production. In order to give a picture of theatre research opportunities various types of productions will be described, followed by a discussion of the theatre museums and several of the famous theatres in the city. In May 1991 there were several dozen plays, ballets, operas and other theatrical performances from which to choose. There are major subsidized theatres and opera houses, small commercial theatres, theatres for children, and experimental groups. A range of plays available on a given night included Entertaining Mr. Sloane, The Threepenny Opera, Cooney and Chapman's Not Now, Darling, Durrenmatt's The Accident, and Jesus Christ Superstar. There were performances of a British science-fiction comedy presented by the Action Theatre London (in English) called Black Magic-Blue Love, a Psychothriller Murder Voices, and an evening of song and acting in the OFF-OFF-Theater Club.

    COURSE OUTLINE : GRMN 012 Last Revised and Approved: 10/23/2008 CURRICULUM Subject Code and Course Number: GRMN 012 Division : Languages Course Title : GERMAN LITERATURE IN TRANSLATION Summarize the need/purpose/reason for this proposal German 12 appeals to the general college population as well as students already enrolled in German language classes. Since the German program cannot offer literature courses in German at this point, reading major works in translation is the next best thing. Furthermore, a survey of German literary movements enhances students' understanding of the history and culture of the German-speaking countries and complements the popular German Civilization course. Beyond that, studying works of German literature that represent different historical periods and cultural contexts will challenge students to analyze broader issues and ideas and make connections with global themes addressed in other courses in the Languages, English, and Social Sciences Divisions. Finally, Literature in Translation is already well established in the Languages Division in these foreign language classes: Chinese 12, Japanese 12, Spanish 12, and Italian 12. SLOs (Student Learning Outcomes) 1. Recognize and discuss key characteristics of major periods of German literature. 2. Compare and contrast dominant themes, relevant topics, and stylistic conventions in representative works. SPOs (Student Performance Objectives) 1.

  • The East German Writers Union and the Role of Literary Intellectuals In
    Writing in Red: The East German Writers Union and the Role of Literary Intellectuals in the German Democratic Republic, 1971-90 Thomas William Goldstein A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: Konrad H. Jarausch Christopher Browning Chad Bryant Karen Hagemann Lloyd Kramer ©2010 Thomas William Goldstein ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract Thomas William Goldstein Writing in Red The East German Writers Union and the Role of Literary Intellectuals in the German Democratic Republic, 1971-90 (Under the direction of Konrad H. Jarausch) Since its creation in 1950 as a subsidiary of the Cultural League, the East German Writers Union embodied a fundamental tension, one that was never resolved during the course of its forty-year existence. The union served two masters – the state and its members – and as such, often found it difficult fulfilling the expectations of both. In this way, the union was an expression of a basic contradiction in the relationship between writers and the state: the ruling Socialist Unity Party (SED) demanded ideological compliance, yet these writers also claimed to be critical, engaged intellectuals. This dissertation examines how literary intellectuals and SED cultural officials contested and debated the differing and sometimes contradictory functions of the Writers Union and how each utilized it to shape relationships and identities within the literary community and beyond it. The union was a crucial site for constructing a group image for writers, both in terms of external characteristics (values and goals for participation in wider society) and internal characteristics (norms and acceptable behavioral patterns guiding interactions with other union members).

  • The German Literature in American Exile – Great Writers and Their Wives: Perspectives from Russian Scholars
    SHS Web of Conferences 55, 04018 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/shsconf/20185504018 ICPSE 2018 The German literature in American exile – great writers and their wives: perspectives from Russian scholars Svetlana Averkina1,*, Angelika Kalinina1, and Tatiana Suchareva1 1Linguistics University of Nizhny Novgorod, 603115, 31-a Minina str., Nizhniy Novgorod, Russia Abstract. The article focuses on the life and art of the famous Germane writers, namely Thomas Mann, Lion Feuchtwanger, and Franz Werfel. After the outbreak of WWII, when the Nazi forces invaded these lands, a lot of emigres managed to leave for the USA. For many of them, the escape route was extremely turbulent. The German writers in the USA settled closely together in California, forming a tight community. The famous Germane writers had to decide upon two principal questions: what they could do for the culture of their home country while staying in exile, and how to interact with the culture of the country where they live. In this connection, it is of great importance to analyze not their works, but the books of their wives. They took care of the house and children on a daily basis, as well as became secretaries, councilors, and closest associates of their great husbands. The authors also propose the main perspectives on a future research on this topic, focusing on the social and political phenomenon of “the community of German writers in American exile”, analyzing how the intellectual community was formed, discussing the documents of this age, studying the memories about their time in America in the context of the contemporary gender theory.
