  • Alternate History – Alternate Memory: Counterfactual Literature in the Context of German Normalization
    ALTERNATE HISTORY – ALTERNATE MEMORY: COUNTERFACTUAL LITERATURE IN THE CONTEXT OF GERMAN NORMALIZATION by GUIDO SCHENKEL M.A., Freie Universität Berlin, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (German Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2012 © Guido Schenkel, 2012 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines a variety of Alternate Histories of the Third Reich from the perspective of memory theory. The term ‘Alternate History’ describes a genre of literature that presents fictional accounts of historical developments which deviate from the known course of hi story. These allohistorical narratives are inherently presentist, meaning that their central question of “What If?” can harness the repertoire of collective memory in order to act as both a reflection of and a commentary on contemporary social and political conditions. Moreover, Alternate Histories can act as a form of counter-memory insofar as the counterfactual mode can be used to highlight marginalized historical events. This study investigates a specific manifestation of this process. Contrasted with American and British examples, the primary focus is the analysis of the discursive functions of German-language counterfactual literature in the context of German normalization. The category of normalization connects a variety of commemorative trends in postwar Germany aimed at overcoming the legacy of National Socialism and re-formulating a positive German national identity. The central hypothesis is that Alternate Histories can perform a unique task in this particular discursive setting. In the context of German normalization, counterfactual stories of the history of the Third Reich are capable of functioning as alternate memories, meaning that they effectively replace the memory of real events with fantasies that are better suited to serve as exculpatory narratives for the German collective.

  • The New Order of Hitler: Virtual History, Fiction and Myth
    DEBATER A EUROPA Periódico do CIEDA e do CEIS20 , em parceria com GPE e a RCE. N.13 julho/dezembro 2015 – Semestral ISSN 1647-6336 Disponível em: http://www.europe-direct-aveiro.aeva.eu/debatereuropa/ The New Order of Hitler: Virtual History, Fiction and Myth Sérgio Neto Researcher of CEIS20, University of Coimbra E-mail: [email protected] Abstract At the intersection of counterfactual Historiography and literary fantasy, the triumph of the Axis powers in World War II has been one of the main issues. The resurgence of a hypothetical IV Reich also results extensive. Similarly, cinema has not failed to go over the old question of “if”. This article intent to analyse some virtual literature and historical works of reference about the New European Order in order to discuss possible inspiration that science awoke this genre and concepts revolving around the revisionism and determinism. Keywords: New European Order; Counterfactuals; Dystopia; Historiography; Fantasy When the German army completed the conquest of Poland in September 1939 the New European Order began to take shape. The euphemistic name of that brutal military occupation was in fact more incisive than the name given to the Japanese occupied areas: Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere 1. But, the main issue was if Hitler’s projects achieved in a few years the degree of dehumanization promised by the propaganda with the so called Reich of a Thousand Years. Based on the assumptions outlined by Mein Kampf , as well as the improvisations made during the course of the war, the dreams and fantasies of world domination were analysed not only by the historiography, but widely widespread by the alternate story genre.

  • Open for Development Achieving Greater Post-2015 Results Through an Open Design Process, Monitoring System and Data Portals Executive Summary
    Open For Development Achieving Greater Post-2015 Results through an Open Design Process, Monitoring System and Data Portals Executive Summary The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) have contributed to unprecedented progress in the fight against global poverty. To further accelerate progress in the run-up to the MDG deadline in 2015, and to ensure sustained progress beyond this date, there is an urgent need for greater transparency about investments made in tackling development challenges and about the specific outcomes achieved. Openness – especially transparency, accountability and public participation – must be at the heart of the post-2015 development framework. ONE – along with Center for Transparency and Accountability in Liberia (CENTAL), Development Initiatives, Fundar (Mexico), Global Witness, Global Movement for Budget Transparency, Accountability and Participation, Integrity Action, International Budget Partnership, Luta Hamutuk Institute (Timor Leste), Publish What You Fund, Publish What You Pay, Revenue Watch Institute, Transparency International, W3C (Brasil) – is calling on the High-level Panel of Eminent Persons (HLP), the UN Secretary-General and UN Member States to put transparency and accountability at the centre of the new framework by establishing an open design process, a clear monitoring framework and open accountability portals. Specifically, we urge the HLP to consider the following concrete recommendations: • Recommendation 1: The HLP should capacity, and collect and report on recommend that the UN Secretary- achieved outcomes related to the agreed General’s report to Member States includes development goals and targets. This a quantitative overview of survey-based reporting should be executed on a regular consultations, with concrete proposals and timely basis (e.g. an annual or quarterly for ensuring that input from citizens in cycle with minimal time lags).

  • IAEA Bulletin Volume 47, No.1
    A Chance for Real Change in Bono, activist & globalAfrica rock star, is on a journey to help save millions in Africa. ●I’m here as part of a journey that began in 1984-85. That summer, my wife Ali and I went to Ethiopia, on the quiet, to see for ourselves what was going on. We lived there for a month, working at an orphanage. Africa is a magical place. Anybody who ever gave anything there got a lot more back. Ethiopia not just blew my mind, it opened my mind. On our last day at the orphanage a man handed me his baby and said: take him with you. He knew in Ireland his son would live; in Ethiopia his son would die. I turned him down. In that moment, I started this journey. In that moment, I became the worst thing of all: a rock star with a cause. Except this isn’t a cause. 6,500 Africans dying a day of treatable, prevent- able disease — dying for want of medicines you and I can get at our local chemist. That’s not a cause, that’s an emergency. You know, I could make the soft argument for action — or I could make the more muscular one. The soft argument you’ve all heard before. People are dying over there, needlessly dying, at a ridiculous rate and for the stu- pidest of reasons: money. They’re dying because they don’t have a pound a day to pay for the drugs that could save their lives. There are hard facts that make up the soft argument.
