Mahnmal Für Die Toten Des Krieges
Benno Elkan – Mahnmal für die Toten des Krieges Erinnerungskultur mit modernster Technik Am Freitag, den 31.08.2018, wurde das Modernste Denkmal Deutschlands der Öffentlichkeit im Orches- terzentrum NRW vorgestellt. Die 3D-Rekonstruktion des Denkmals „Mahnmal für die Toten des Krieges“ von Benno Elkan kann virtuell im realen Raum betrachtet werden. Damit wird die Kunst auf ein neues, innovatives Level befördert. Der Vorstand des Historischen Vereins, Oberbürgermeister Ullrich Sierau, die Enkelin des Künstlers aus San Francisco, Beryn Hammil, sowie Vertreter des Sponsors und der Geschäftsführer des Dortmunder Virtual-Reality-Unternehmens viality haben vor zahlreichen Gästen aus Politik, Verwaltung, Wissenschaft und Kultur die 3D-Konstruktion in Dortmund präsentiert. Das Mahnmal konnte live auf der Bühne mit einer Augmented-Reality-Brille von allen Seiten angeschaut werden, während die jeweilige Perspektive für alle anderen Gäste auf einer Projektionsfläche zu sehen war. Zusätzlich konnte das Event per Li- vestream auf YouTube und Facebook verfolgt werden. Diese Videos stehen weiterhin frei zur Verfügung und können bei Bedarf unter folgenden Links angesehen werden: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kW-mqSikDY https://www.facebook.com/dortmund/videos/2094925910520165/ Das virtuelle Mahnmal Benno Elkans kann ab sofort im Museum für Kunst und Kulturgeschichte, mit für Besucher bereitgestellten Smartphones, angeschaut werden. Die Besucher können allerdings auch ihr eigenes Smartphone nutzen, wenn die App „Benno Elkan AR“ installiert ist. Die Benno-Elkan-Alle am Dortmunder U, welche dem verstorbenen Dortmunder Künstler im Frühjahr 2016 gewidmet wurde, wird in fünf bis sechs Wochen eine bedeutende Rolle spielen. Dort wird das Mahn- mal für Jeden virtuell sichtbar werden. Auch wenn die Menschen vor Ort augenscheinlich um Nichts herumlaufen werden, können sie mit Hilfe einer App auf ihrem Smartphone oder Tablet das virtuelle Mahnmal in seiner vollen Größe sehen und genauer betrachten. -

The Way Through the Woods
THE WAY THROUGH THE WOODS They shut the road through the woods Seventy years ago. Weather and rain have undone it again, And now you would never know There was once a road through the woods Before they planted the trees. It is underneath the coppice and heath, And the thin anemones. Only the keeper sees That, where the ring-dove broods, And the badgers roll at ease, There was once a road through the woods. Yet, if you enter the woods Of a summer evening late, When the night-air cools on the trout-ringed pools Where the otter whistles his mate, (They fear not men in the woods, Because they see so few.) You will hear the beat of a horse's feet, And the swish of a skirt in the dew, Steadily cantering through The misty solitudes, As though they perfectly knew The old lost road through the woods… But there is no road through the woods. Rudyard Kipling A cigarette card Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay in 1865, but was sent by his parents to England when he was 5, and then to school at the United Services College, Westward Ho!, North Devon, which he famously depicted in the schoolboy tales Stalky & Co. He worked as a journalist in India, and many of his early poems and short stories were published in newspapers or for the Indian Railway Library. He married an American, Carrie Balestier, and lived with her in Vermont for six years, before they returned to England and settled in Bateman’s, a beautiful 17th century house in Sussex. -
Benno Elkan 1 Benno Elkan
Benno Elkan 1 Benno Elkan Benno Elkan OBE (* 2. Dezember 1877 in Dortmund; † 10. Januar 1960 in London) war ein deutscher Bildhauer, der die Große Menora vor der Knesset in Jerusalem und zahlreiche Denkmale, Büsten und Medaillen in Deutschland und England geschaffen hat. Elkan begann sein Schaffen als Bildhauer in seiner Heimatstadt Dortmund mit Grabdenkmalen. Später porträtierte er Militärs, Staatsmänner, Wissenschaftler und Künstler, vor allem aus Deutschland, Frankreich und England in Büsten und Medaillen. Elkan erhielt als jüdischer Künstler 1935 Berufsverbot und emigrierte nach London. In Deutschland war er zunächst vergessen, bis seine Werke in den 1950er-Jahren erneut in Ausstellungen gezeigt wurden. Elkans Schaffen ist keiner festen Stilrichtung zuzuordnen. Leben Kindheit und Jugend in Dortmund Benno Elkan in seinem Atelier in London Elkan war das einzige Kind des Schneidermeisters Salomon Elkan, während der Arbeit an der Menora für die Mitinhaber eines Herrentextilgeschäftes in der Dortmunder Knesset Innenstadt[1] und seiner jungen Frau Rosalie (* 1861 in Heidelberg). Hier besuchte er auch das Städtische Gymnasium (damals „Schola Tremoniae“) bis zum „Einjährigen“.[2] Dortmund war zur Jugendzeit Elkans eine Stadt, in der sich die kleine jüdische Gemeinde (1.306 von 90.000 Einwohnern im Jahre 1890[3] ) erfolgreich etablieren konnte, wofür der Bau einer großen Synagoge und die Integration eines jüdischen Bereichs auf dem Ostenfriedhof Indizien waren. Soweit bekannt nahm Benno Elkan am Leben der jüdischen Gemeinde teil, feierte seine Bar Mitzwa und besuchte am Gymnasium den jüdischen Religionsunterricht. Wanderjahre Um seine Sprachkenntnisse zu verbessern, besuchte Elkan das seit 1880 bestehende private Knabenpensionat Château du Rosey in Rolle am Genfersee. In Antwerpen übte er kurz eine kaufmännische Tätigkeit aus, brach sie aber mit Einverständnis seiner Eltern ab, um sich zunächst ab Dezember 1897 in München auf der privaten Kunstschule des Malers Walter Thor auf die Aufnahmeprüfung der Kunstakademie vorzubereiten. -
Empathy in Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Books, Mirrored in Illustrations By
Journal of Literature and Art Studies, January 2018, Vol. 8, No. 1, 1-31 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2018.01.001 D DAVID PUBLISHING Empathy in Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Books, Mirrored in Illustrations by John Lockwood Kipling and Aldren Watson Norman Arthur Fischer Kent State University (Retired), Kent, Ohio, USA Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Books depict empathy in the animal and animal-human world, and the illustrations of Rudyard’s father, John Lockwood Kipling, and the American artist and prolific illustrator, Aldren Watson, help depict that empathy. Lockwood Kipling was both influence on and interpreter of the Jungle Books, as shown above all in the development from his Beast and Man in India of 1891 through his illustrations for the 1894 Jungle Book, and 1895 Second Jungle Book, to his illustrations that appear in the rearranged stories of The Jungle Book, and Second Jungle Book in the 1897 Scribners Outward Bound (O/B) editions. A variation on Lockwood’s O/B mode of Jungle Books illustrations is found in Watson’s illustrations for the 1948 Doubleday edition, Jungle Books, which is the title I will use throughout.1 Part One details the influence of two animal empathy writers, Lockwood Kipling and Ernest Thompson Seton, on the Jungle Books. Part Two uses recent philosophical studies of empathy in the animal and human relationship. Part Three applies a German philosophy of art history to the new look of the O/B and Doubleday Jungle Books. Part Four interprets selected Jungle Books stories in the light of Parts one, two and three. -

Subverting Gender Roles in Kipling's “On the City Wall”
Subverting Gender Roles in Kipling’s “On the City Wall” Dipasree Roy Abstract Rudyard Kipling is a man of strong opinion and words, his genius lies in his art of storytelling. He was the foremost writer in the last few decades of the 19th century. He has drawn on many themes surrounding the Anglo Indian men and women. My present concern moves around his portrayal of native Indian Women, but with an exception. Kipling’s portrayal of Indian women has majorly included the victims of white men. The story On the City Wall is an exception, where the courtesan Lalun manipulates the British narrator in plotting an escape of a Sikh rebel of the revolt of 1857. The narrator falsely connects his desire to be the desire of the ‘Other’, hence, subverts the hierarchy of gender roles, turning the tables of colonial rule under the face of imperialism. Though the narrative seems to be rebellious it lacks the seriousness of the issue, but with a hint of how colonial ambivalence remains concealed in the narratives of Rudyard Kipling. Keywords: subvert, other, gender, fear, desire, ambivalence. Journal_ Volume 14, 2021_ Roy 130 Keeping in view the several imperialist assumptions and approaches to Rudyard Kipling, my study engages a more complex terrain of exploring his works that focuses on the Indian mistress and their misery on account of a white man who is unable to consummate a marriage with the Indian Mistress, just to protect his honour among the men of his class. Kipling’s Indian stories in general show the native Indian woman as the sufferer in the end. -
The Life and Work of Abbot Anscar Vonier
English Benedictine Congregation History Commission – Symposium 1996 THE LIFE AND WORK OF ABBOT ANSCAR VONIER Dom Leo Smith OR MANY YEARS NOW South Devon has become a centre of tourism attracting large numbers of holiday makers from all over the British Isles, from Europe, especially FHolland and Germany, and increasingly from the United States and Canada. Buckfast lies on the edge of the Torbay area and is on the fringe of Dartmoor, so that even without the saga of the rebuilding of the abbey at Buckfast, the district would have been an attraction, a sort of gateway to the English Riviera and a pass to the lair of the Hound of the Baskervilles. Every year now Buckfast abbey receives some half a million visitors and this is due to the interest aroused by the reconstruction in modem times of a medieval monastery by the labours of four monks who were the masons. This achievement was the life-work of one man who inspired the work and by the force of his personality saw its achievement in spite of enormous difficulties. He was Abbot Anscar Vonier, the subject of this paper. In the south aisle of the abbey church there is a memorial plaque to Abbot Anscar, the work of Benno Elkan1. There the Abbot, a figure of no small stature, is depicted as offering his life’s work to our Lady to whom the abbey is dedicated. There is an epic quality about the story developed in the scroll of the plaque. The young monk saved from a shipwreck in which his abbot perished; his own election as abbot; the decision to rebuild the abbey church; the first load of stone from the quarry delivered in a borrowed horse and cart; the labour of building with no modem equipment, and the final touch, his acclaim of the finished work with the skeleton of death calling him to his reward. -

Bairister-at-Law. LONDON THE BOOKMAN'S JOURNAL 173, FLEET STREET, E.C.4. NEW YORK JAMES F. DRAKE. INC. 1922 z f\5as oz^l — PREFACE To the fact that in the course of many years I gathered tog-ether what became known as the most comprehensive collection of the writings of Rudyard Kipling, and to the fact that no-one has compiled an exhaustive bibliography of these writings is due this work. How great has been the need for a full and up to date bibliography of Kipling's works needs no telling. From Lahore to London and from London to New York his various publishers have woven a bibliographical maze such as surely can hardly be paralleled in the literature about literature. The present attempt—the first which has been made in England, so far as I know, on any extensive scale—to form a detailed guide to this bibliographical maze is necessarily tentative; and despite all errors and omissions, for which, as a mere tyro, I crave indulgence, I trust that the following pages will provide not only a handy record for collectors of the writings of our great imperialist poet and novelist, but a basis for the fuller and more perfect work, which the future will bring forth. -
