    Operetta after the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Elaine Tennant Spring 2013 © 2013 Ulrike Petersen All Rights Reserved Abstract Operetta after the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair This thesis discusses the political, social, and cultural impact of operetta in Vienna after the collapse of the Habsburg Empire. As an alternative to the prevailing literature, which has approached this form of musical theater mostly through broad surveys and detailed studies of a handful of well‐known masterpieces, my dissertation presents a montage of loosely connected, previously unconsidered case studies. Each chapter examines one or two highly significant, but radically unfamiliar, moments in the history of operetta during Austria’s five successive political eras in the first half of the twentieth century. Exploring operetta’s importance for the image of Vienna, these vignettes aim to supply new glimpses not only of a seemingly obsolete art form but also of the urban and cultural life of which it was a part. My stories evolve around the following works: Der Millionenonkel (1913), Austria’s first feature‐length motion picture, a collage of the most successful stage roles of a celebrated

I proceeded from the assumption that powerful propaganda has to contain certain phrases which do not necessarily mean anything, which sound good, but which still stand for a programme. I may have chosen the name intuitively since at that time I was directly under the influence of the Span- ish romances 'Rosa Blanca' by Brentano. There is no connection with the 'White Rose' in English history." Hans Scholl, interrogation protocol of the Gestapo, 20.2.1943 The Origin of the White Rose The White Rose originated from individual friend- ships growing into circles of friends. Christoph Probst and Alexander Schmorell had been friends since their school days.

  • Identity and Nostalgia in Post-Unification German Cinema
    In the Eye of the Beholder: Identity and Nostalgia in Post-Unification German Cinema Joshua S. Zmarzly History 489 May 12, 2014 Abstract In this study, I wish to examine several films produced in the decades after German Unification (die Wende) to show their relation to themes of identity, historical memory, and nostalgia in the culture of former East Germans. The prevailing subject I seek to research in this context of cinema and historical memory is “osatalgia” (German: “ost” [east] + “nostalgie” [nostalgia]), a pop culture movement dedicated to celebrating and reclaiming aspects (usually material) from the East German past. It’s a day in 1990. East Berlin still lies on one side of the epicenter of the Cold War ideological stand-off, and as Erich Honecker, chairman of East Germany’s sole political party, steps down and as he is replaced with former cosmonaut and socialist hero, Sigmund Jähn, the borders of East Germany are opened. Thousands of West Germans, tired of their meaningless lives in the decadent, corrupt Federal Republic of Germany, flood into the East. Eventually, West Germans begin to break apart the Berlin Wall, that concrete seam of the Iron Curtain, in order to join the socialist utopia of the German Democratic Republic. In his small, government-provided flat, Alex Kerner and his family watch joyously as the state news program, Aktuelle Kamera, announces the fall of the West. Fireworks burst into clouds of colorful light in the distance. And all of it is a lie. It’s a lie created by Alex to keep the GDR, in reality swallowed up whole by the capitalist West, alive.

  • 4I CAPITAL PARTNERS in UKRAINE 4I CAPITAL PARTNERS in UKRAINE – a STORY of RESILIENCE in the FACE of ADVERSITY
    CASE STUDY 4i CAPITAL PARTNERS IN UKRAINE 4i CAPITAL PARTNERS IN UKRAINE – A STORY OF RESILIENCE IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY The collapse of the Soviet Union, civil unrest, a military conflict, an inflation rate which peaked at 50 percent, and a global pandemic: businesses in Ukraine have certainly had their share of hardships over the past three decades. Yet in the face of adversity and strong headwinds, this is the story of a team who has always believed in the country’s economic potential. This is also the story of a Development Finance Institution (DFI) which has sought to make a positive de- velopment impact in a transition economy. The Swiss Investment Fund for Emerging Markets (SIFEM) has invested in Ukraine with the aim to achieve two of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). First, by supporting growth-oriented companies, SIFEM’s investment has made a contribution towards SDG 8, which seeks sustained and inclusive economic growth as well as the support and crea- tion of decent work opportunities. Second, SIFEM has contributed towards SDG 9 by helping to promote sustainable industrialisation and innovation, and by providing capital to a private equity firm, which has bolstered financial sector development in Ukraine and its environs. SIFEM’s partners are 4i Capital Partners, a Ukraine-based private equity investment company, which is led by its two Managing Partners, Alexandru Munteanu and Kamil Goca. The company has been engaged in private equity investments, expansions, restructurings, and realisations for nearly two decades, man- aging investments in Ukraine and the region in good as well as in challenging times.
