As the 1990s progressed, masculinity crises and millennial anxieties intersected with an increasing fixation on nostalgic popular histories of World War II. The representative masculine figures proffered in Steven Spielberg films and Tom Hanks roles had critical relationships to cultural crises surrounding race, reproduction and sexuality. Nostalgic narratives emerged as way to fortify the American nation-state and resolve its social problems. The WWII cultural trend, through the specter of tributes to a dying generation, used nostalgic texts and images to create imaginary American landscapes that centered as much on contemporary masculinity and the political and social perspective of the Boomer generation as it did on the prior one.

Mary's mother, 82-year-old Polly Magro, and Elizabeth were at the centre when it was robbed on Monday morning. Picture: Adam McLean A group of Cringila community centre volunteers have been left shaken after two masked intruders robbed them of their hard-earned cash during a brazen and opportunistic Monday-morning attack. Volunteers at the not-for-profit George Cross Falcons Community Centre have told how they first thought the intrusion was "practical joke", before quickly realising the disguised duo's presence was something more sinister. About eight people were inside the community centre - preparing for a weekly seniors' lunch event - when two masked men entered via a door off Lake Avenue about 8.30am. "We were all doing our Monday morning chores ... we were buttering bread, making coffees and then two men walked in," office worker and volunteer Elizabeth Walker said. "We thought it was a joke. We really thought it was a practical joke because they came in, they were very composed and they were very softly spoken and that's why we didn't register what they were really here for." "It is a shocking thing because we don't deserve to have this happen to us. We are not people who make millions of dollars, we just make the money to provide the food for the people who come in on a Monday," Ms Walker said.

  • The Urban and Cultural Climate of Rotterdam Changed Radically Between 1970 and 2000. Opinions Differ About What the Most Importa
    The urban and cultural climate of Rotterdam changed radically between 1970 and 2000. Opinions differ about what the most important changes were, and when they occurred. Imagine a Metropolis shows that it was first and foremost a new perspective on Rotterdam that stimulated the development of the city during this period. If the Rotterdam of 1970 was still a city with an identity crisis that wanted to be small rather than large and cosy rather than commercial, by 2000 Rotterdam had the image of the most metropolitan of all Dutch cities. Artists and other cultural practitioners – a group these days termed the ‘creative class’ – were the first to advance this metropolitan vision, thereby paving the way for the New Rotterdam that would begin to take concrete shape at the end of the 1980s. Imagine a Metropolis goes on to show that this New Rotterdam is returning to its nineteenth-century identity and the developments of the inter-war years and the period of post-war reconstruction. For Nina and Maria IMAGINE A METROPOLIS ROTTERDAM’S CREATIVE CLASS, 1970-2000 PATRICIA VAN ULZEN 010 Publishers, Rotterdam 2007 This publication was produced in association with Stichting Kunstpublicaties Rotterdam.

  • Ethiopian Jews from the President's Desk
    INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN EMBASSY JERUSALEM // SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2019 // GLOBAL EDITION WORD FROM JERUSALEM ICEJ OFFERS NEW BEGINNING FEAST IN ISRAEL FOR 2019 BEGINNINGS ETHIOPIAN JEWS FROM THE PRESIDENT'S DESK Dear friends, In Matthew 24, the first warning Jesus gives in his Mt. Olivet discourse on the ‘end times’ is “do not be deceived”. In 1943 a book was published titled Das Antike Weltjudentum (“World Judaism of Antiquity”), co-written by two leading academics in Nazi Germany. One was Prof. Eugen Fischer, head of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Anthropology, who was a leading proponent of ‘Social Darwinism’ and the Third Reich‘s racial theory. Fischer inspired the Nuremberg Laws and greatly influenced Hitler‘s personal views on the Jews. The other author was the well-known German theologian Gerhard Kittel, known for his seminal dictionary on biblical Greek – which is still a standard text for many Bible students today. Kittel also was a leading figure in the Entjudungsinstitut, Hitler’s special institute to de-Judaize the Bible. The International Christian Embassy Jerusalem was established All this demonstrates why the words of Jesus remain so important for believers today. in 1980 in recognition of the biblical significance of Jerusalem ‘Do not be deceived’ is a call to be spiritually alert. It is aimed at the Church rather and its unique connection to the Jewish people. Today the ICEJ represents millions of Christians, churches and denominations to than the world. Even the best-educated theologians are not immune to deception. the nation and people of Israel. We recognise in the restoration Derek Prince once stated: “If you believe you cannot be deceived, then you already are of Israel the faithfulness of God to keep His ancient covenant deceived.” One of the most important doctrines of the Bible under attack today is that with the Jewish people.
