Bestseller, Autoren, Leser in Deutschland Vor Und Nach 1945
Brünner Beiträge zur Germanistik und Nordistik 34 / 2020 / 2 https://doi.org/10.5817/BBGN2020-2-3 „Wir begannen nicht im Jahre Null!“ Bestseller, Autoren, Leser in Deutschland vor und nach 1945 „We did not start in the Year Zero“ Bestsellers, Writers, Readers in Germany before and after 1945 Christian Adam Abstract There was no ‘zero hour’ (Stunde Null) in German literature, though nazification and denazifi- cation had serious impact on the book market. The paper shows this by looking at bestselling books in East and West Germany before and after 1945. Entertaining books and factual novels were among the most successful books in the Third Reich. Freed of their political time referen- ce, many of the texts from the Nazi era lived on after the end of the war. Both genres conse- quently left a long-term mark on the book market. Some authors like Karl Aloys Schenzinger were close to the National Socialist Party, others like Ehm Welk were critical to the regime. Keywords zero hour; nazification; denazification; mass literature; indexing; entertainment; propaganda; pre-censorship; Third Reich; East and West Germany 31 Christian Adam „Wir begannen nicht im Jahre Null!“ Bestseller, Autoren, Leser in Deutschland … Mit Blick auf das Jahr 1945 und die deutsche Literatur kann von einer ‚Stunde Null‘ nicht die Rede sein. Es gab – wie in allen anderen Lebensbereichen – keinen Neubeginn aus dem Nichts, keine tabula rasa. Diese Fiktion, dieser Traum hatte stets die Funktion, das, was davor war, ein totalitäres Regime, das mit einem verheerenden Krieg Europa und die Welt in eine Katastrophe gestürzt hatte, soweit es irgend ging, vergessen zu ma- chen. -

Signed……………………………………………….. (Rosemary Anne Sillars) Date…………………………………….. Abstract The novels, poems and journalism of Ina Seidel and Vicki Baum were part of that everyday popular literature read and enjoyed by an international audience throughout the years of the Weimar Republic, the Third Reich and beyond. Their wide distribution and popular themes ensured that they reached a diverse public, but their publishers aimed their attentions at that female readership whose buying-power and literary tastes were now acknowledged as a significant market-factor. Both authors recognised their powerful position and took upon themselves the responsibilities, with which they believed they were thus endowed, to enlighten, educate and inform. They wrote from a view of themselves as creative artists with particular literary skills but, above all, as women. Understanding ‘womanhood’ as their primeval inheritance, they saw a woman’s physical powers of generation and nurture as part of the order of the natural universe, uniting them with other female beings. -
Theatre on Trial: Staging Postwar Justice in the United States and Germany
Theatre on Trial: Staging Postwar Justice in the United States and Germany Minou Arjomand SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Minou Arjomand All rights reserved ABSTRACT Theatre on Trial: Staging Postwar Justice in the United States and Germany Minou Arjomand This dissertation studies the interchange between political theatre and postwar political trials. I argue that to an extraordinary extent, theatre history in this period is inextricable from trial history. Through close archival study of mid-century theatre productions including Bertolt Brecht’s 1954 production of The Caucasian Chalk Circle and the fifteen simultaneous premiere productions of Peter Weiss’s The Investigation in 1965, I show how directors and playwrights looked to legal trials in order to develop and articulate theories of epic and documentary theatre, and how this new theatre in turn sought to effect justice in ways that trials alone could not.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. -
The Transfiguration of the Hero: a Memory Politics of the Everyday in Berlin and Budapest
THE TRANSFIGURATION OF THE HERO: A MEMORY POLITICS OF THE EVERYDAY IN BERLIN AND BUDAPEST by Júlia Székely Submitted to Central European University Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisors: Judit Bodnár CEU eTD Collection Jean-Louis Fabiani Budapest, Hungary 2016 STATEMENT I hereby state that this dissertation contains no materials accepted for any other degrees in any other institutions. The thesis contains no materials previously written and/or published by another person, except where appropriate acknowledgement is made in the form of bibliographical reference. Budapest, February 29, 2016. CEU eTD Collection i | P a g e ABSTRACT Although after the period of the Second World War the death of the hero was loudly announced (Münkler 2006), in recent years, the academic interest in heroes has been reemerging. Authors not only established a critical understanding of the hero who came to be defined as an end-product of a careful construction (e.g., Todorova 1999, Giesen 2004a), but ―new heroes‖ also made their mass appearance (Jones 2010). Yet, in contrast to the majority of these analyses that either concentrate on one particular hero (e.g, Verdery 1999) or on one specific period (e.g., Lundt 2010), I discuss the conceptual and aesthetic transformation of the hero. Focusing on the genre of public works of art in Berlin and Budapest from 1945 up to the present time, I study various processes of the transfiguration of the hero. Besides the linguistic and cultural connections between Berlin and Budapest beginning from the 19th century, I assumed that the two cities can represent many of the dual arguments of memory studies. -
UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles a Re
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles A Re-Assessment of Aryanization of Large Jewish Companies in Hitler’s Reich, 1933-1935: The Role of Conservative, Non-Nazi Businessmen A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by William Maurice Katin 2018 © Copyright by William Maurice Katin 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION A Re-Assessment of Aryanization of Large Jewish Companies in Hitler’s Reich 1933-1935: The Role of Conservative, Non-Nazi Businessmen by William Maurice Katin Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Albion M Urdank, Chair “Aryanization” is the Nazi term for the cheap purchase of Jewish firms during the Third Reich with the ultimate goal of eliminating Jews from the German economy. Eleven of the largest such companies in Germany are examined in this dissertation and a noticeable pattern becomes evident. In an atmosphere of anti-Semitism, conservative non-Nazi businessmen approached Germany’s three largest banks to request that they withdraw existing loans from the Hermann Tietz department store chain. Although this study focuses on the large Hermann Tietz and Leonhard Tietz retailers, it presents a new paradigm of Aryanization through analyses of the patterns of acquisition of massive publishing houses, as well as an enormous private bank, brewery, and gun manufacturer. The financial institutions participated because they earned fees, appointed bank executives to the formerly Jewish firms’ Supervisory Boards and became the house bank conducting all future transactions. Courts were unwilling to intervene in the coerced acquisitions, ii because they shared the same conservative mindset as the businessmen and financial institutions.
