Inhabit the Word INHABIT THE WORD 80 years PEN Centre of German-Speaking Writers Abroad at the Villa Aurora and USCʼs Max Kade Institute for Austrian-German-Swiss Studies, Los Angeles (June 26th - 30th, 2014) ... you can leave and yet stay and inhabit the word the word maybe of many tongues at once but first and foremost the German word ... (Hilde Domin) Eighty years ago the German PEN-Club in Exile was founded in opposition to developments in Germany. Before long it united all of the most important authors in exile, including Lion Feuchtwanger, Thomas Mann, Bertold Brecht, Alfred Döblin, etc. After the Second World War the “Exil-PEN” changed its name to PEN Centre of German-Speaking Writers Abroad. To this day it represents authors who write in German but live abroad and are united in their efforts on behalf of writers who are currently being persecuted. To mark its anniversary, members of the PEN Centre will meet at the Villa Aurora and USCʼs Max Kade Institute for Austrian-German-Swiss Studies, Los Angeles, from June 26th - 30th, 2014, for a series of public lectures, talks, readings and discussions. We'll start publicizing the events soon.

Students do too much multi-tasking for 1 the instructor to monitor. Try the simple beauty of a notebook and a pen. If so many students did not shop during class, you could enjoy the privilege of taking notes on your laptops. Power point presentations in class are a gift to those who attend and will not be available on the class web site. Attendance is not taken in class. Come to learn and to discuss. Class texts: All of the texts have been ordered with Groundworks Books in the Old Student Center and have been placed on Library Reserve. We have a systematic problem that Triton Link does not list the Groundworks booklists, but privileges the Price Center Bookstore.

  • (Student Performance Objectives) Ccos
    COURSE OUTLINE : GRMN 012 Last Revised and Approved: 10/23/2008 CURRICULUM Subject Code and Course Number: GRMN 012 Division : Languages Course Title : GERMAN LITERATURE IN TRANSLATION Summarize the need/purpose/reason for this proposal German 12 appeals to the general college population as well as students already enrolled in German language classes. Since the German program cannot offer literature courses in German at this point, reading major works in translation is the next best thing. Furthermore, a survey of German literary movements enhances students' understanding of the history and culture of the German-speaking countries and complements the popular German Civilization course. Beyond that, studying works of German literature that represent different historical periods and cultural contexts will challenge students to analyze broader issues and ideas and make connections with global themes addressed in other courses in the Languages, English, and Social Sciences Divisions. Finally, Literature in Translation is already well established in the Languages Division in these foreign language classes: Chinese 12, Japanese 12, Spanish 12, and Italian 12. SLOs (Student Learning Outcomes) 1. Recognize and discuss key characteristics of major periods of German literature. 2. Compare and contrast dominant themes, relevant topics, and stylistic conventions in representative works. SPOs (Student Performance Objectives) 1.

  • The German Literature in American Exile – Great Writers and Their Wives: Perspectives from Russian Scholars
    SHS Web of Conferences 55, 04018 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/shsconf/20185504018 ICPSE 2018 The German literature in American exile – great writers and their wives: perspectives from Russian scholars Svetlana Averkina1,*, Angelika Kalinina1, and Tatiana Suchareva1 1Linguistics University of Nizhny Novgorod, 603115, 31-a Minina str., Nizhniy Novgorod, Russia Abstract. The article focuses on the life and art of the famous Germane writers, namely Thomas Mann, Lion Feuchtwanger, and Franz Werfel. After the outbreak of WWII, when the Nazi forces invaded these lands, a lot of emigres managed to leave for the USA. For many of them, the escape route was extremely turbulent. The German writers in the USA settled closely together in California, forming a tight community. The famous Germane writers had to decide upon two principal questions: what they could do for the culture of their home country while staying in exile, and how to interact with the culture of the country where they live. In this connection, it is of great importance to analyze not their works, but the books of their wives. They took care of the house and children on a daily basis, as well as became secretaries, councilors, and closest associates of their great husbands. The authors also propose the main perspectives on a future research on this topic, focusing on the social and political phenomenon of “the community of German writers in American exile”, analyzing how the intellectual community was formed, discussing the documents of this age, studying the memories about their time in America in the context of the contemporary gender theory.

  • Villa Aurora and Thomas Mann House in Los Angeles by Kerstin Zilm
    Villa Aurora and Thomas Mann House in Los Angeles by Kerstin Zilm Kerstin Zilm: During the Nazi Regime, German artists, scientists, and other intellectuals found refuge in Southern California. Lion Feuchtwanger and Thomas Mann were two of the more prominent “exiles in paradise.” Their new surroundings reminded them of the Mediterranean while they were constantly thinking about the country, friends, and family they had to leave behind. Exile, transatlantic relationships, and debates about pressing global issues — those themes fill Feuchtwanger’s and Mann’s former homes again today. Take a trip to the Villa Aurora and the Thomas Mann House in Pacific Palisades. Margit Kleinman: Feuchtwanger himself was then under the Vichy government interned in the South of France for about six months, in Les Milles, an internment camp. And she, Marta, was only interned for a couple of weeks in a women’s camp. Kerstin Zilm: Margit Kleinman, director of the Villa Aurora, tells the story about how Lion and Marta Feuchtwanger came to Los Angeles. She leads a spontaneous tour through the maze of rooms, staircases, and hallways, across creaky wooden floors, past black and white pictures, drawings, and busts. About 15 visitors follow her through the last home that the Feuchtwangers created for themselves. Lion died in California in 1958, his wife almost thirty years later, in 1987. Lion Feuchtwanger had been a critic of Adolf Hitler since the 1920s. The Nazis took away his German citizenship and publicly burned his books. The couple first fled to Southern France, which proved to not be safe. Margit Kleinman: ..

  • German Exiles in California
    German Exiles in California MUHL 588, spring 2017 M 12:00 pm – 1:50 pm 2.0 Units, TMC G156 Prof. Sean Nye Email: [email protected] Office Hours: Wednesday, 4-5 p.m., and Thursday, 3-5 p.m. Description: During the 1930s and 1940s, a considerable number of German-speaking exiles fleeing the political oppression, anti-Semitism, and aggressive expansion of the Third Reich settled in Los Angeles. Upon their arrival, they met an already sizable community of émigrés in L.A. whose status, on account of the catastrophe in Europe, became in various respects one of exile. This larger history of L.A. emigration and the status of exile, between the 1920s and 1950s, will be the focus of this course. The exile encounter with California resulted in diverse reactions, which had profound effects on musical culture for both California and Europe. Major composers and conductors, including Arnold Schoenberg, Hanns Eisler, and Bruno Walter, were based here. Stars such as Marlene Dietrich lived and worked in Hollywood. Theodor W. Adorno, one of the foremost critical theorists and philosophers of music of the twentieth century, spent approximately ten years in Los Angeles. Novelists with profound interests in music, including Thomas Mann and Lion Feuchtwanger, also resided here. These are but some examples of the diverse intersection of music and exile in California. Through these encounters, we will explore multiple cultural developments and questions that emerge from this period: how were the German exiles transformed by their encounters with Los Angeles? How was Los Angeles itself transformed by the settling of German exiles in the area? Finally, how was modern musical culture, more broadly, transformed by this history? In the spirit of the diverse experiences of the exiles, this course will explore a number disciplines at the intersection of exile studies: musicology, cultural studies, media studies, and German studies, among others.
