(pen someone up/in) confine someone in a restricted space1 Introduction: Articulating the history of the modern zoo The zoological garden as a distinctive form of animal keeping in the modern world is a well-studied institution.2 The zoo is a place where animals are physically present and made manifest to human observers, providing unparalleled opportunities to investigate human–animal relations in modern societies and cities (zoological gardens being quintessentially urban phenomena). However, many zoo histories are premised on the problematic assumption that they represent a kind of ‘fresh start’.3 Conventional histories tend to draw sharp dividing lines between modern and premodern eras, attaching little or no value to the continuity of animal exhibition, albeit in very different urban and social settings.

  • The History of a Hotel – Reading Comprehension
    The history of a hotel – Reading Comprehension The Hotel Adlon Kempinski Berlin is a luxury hotel in Berlin, Germany. It is located on Unter den Linden, the main boulevard in the central Mitte district, at the corner with Pariser Platz, directly opposite the Brandenburg Gate and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. The legendary original Hotel Adlon was one of the most famous hotels in Europe. It opened in 1907 and was largely destroyed in 1945 in the closing days of World War II, though a small wing continued operating until 1984. The current hotel, which opened on August 23, 1997, is a new building with a design inspired by the original. In the late 19th century, European hotels, which generally offered no more than overnight accommodation, evolved to become social gathering places which could host large receptions given by nobility and the wealthy. Modeled on American hotels like the Waldorf Astoria, new hotel buildings arose all over the continent with lavishly decorated ballrooms, dining halls, arcades, smoking lounges, libraries, and coffeehouses. In 1873 the Hotel Imperial opened in Vienna, followed by the Hôtel Ritz Paris in 1898, and The Ritz London Hotel in 1906. History in Details In 1905 Lorenz Adlon, a successful wine merchant and restaurateur originally from Mainz, purchased two properties on Unter den Linden. Adlon ran several coffeehouses in Berlin, among others in the Berlin Zoological Garden, and had raised capital to build a hotel on Pariser Platz, at the heart of the German capital. He convinced Kaiser Wilhelm II that Berlin needed a luxury hotel at the level of those in Paris, London and the other European capitals, and so the Kaiser personally cleared the way for Adlon's purchase of the Palais and for the subsequent demolition of the historic building and the constrtuction of the first Adlon Hotel.

  • Press Information Bourgeoisie, Swing and Molotov-Cocktails Amerika Haus Through the Ages
    Press Information Bourgeoisie, Swing and Molotov-Cocktails Amerika Haus through the ages Millions of Berlin residents sought information in the library or at the screenings. Robert Kennedy, Richard Nixon and Willy Brandt visited. Eggs and Molotov cocktails were thrown at the building and it was secured with barbed wire. Lyonel Feininger, Robert Rauschenberg and Gordon Parks exhibited their works here – the Amerika Haus in Berlin is much more than just an architectural treasure from the 1950s. The changeful history of the twentieth century is reflected in the immediate vicinity. Until 1945, the area in the Hardenbergstraße accommodated a Prussian officer’s club, a wild amusement boulevard and gloomy exhibitions of National Socialist art. Following the Second World War, the light-flooded, filigree Amerika Haus was for 50 years a point of divergence for cultural and political discussions and international controversy between peaceful re-education, western propaganda and fervid anti-American senti- ments. In the exhibition showing historical photographs, C/O Berlin will for the first time document the location and its environment, which has undergone rapid changes over the last 150 years – a local urbanization that is also symbolic of the developments in Berlin as a whole. First came the animals – in 1844 the Zoologischer Garten (Berlin Zoological Garden) was opened at the edge of the Tiergarten park and initially extended as far as the Hardenbergstraße. In the 1870s, work began on the construction of the city railway and in 1884 the station Bahnhof Zoo was opened. This made the neighbourhood appealing for a wide range of different new user groups on a long-term basis.

  • Race, Empire and Inherited Histories: Readings of Kafka, Schnitzler and Heyse
    Race, Empire and Inherited Histories: Readings of Kafka, Schnitzler and Heyse by Vasuki Shanmuganathan A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Germanic Languages & Literatures and Women & Gender Studies Institute University of Toronto © Copyright by Vasuki Shanmuganathan 2016 Race, Empire and Inherited Histories: Readings of Kafka, Schnitzler and Heyse Vasuki Shanmuganathan Doctor of Philosophy in German Literature, Culture and Theory Department of Germanic Languages & Literatures and Women & Gender Studies Institute University of Toronto 2016 Abstract My dissertation examines the discourses of empire during the shift from aesthetic to biopolitical ways of reading race, which influenced nineteenth and twentieth century German language writings. Seemingly disparate novellas from Paul Heyse and Arthur Schnitzler and a short story from Franz Kafka serve to illustrate how race was locally defined through the narrative of inherited histories in the German and Austro-Hungarian Empires. “Inherited histories” is a term which privileges heredity, race and kinship networks as sites to study empire during a period when national and linguistic terms of defining bodies were different. In collocation, the first historical exploration of German and Austrian family business networks in colonial Ceylon and an autobiography from John George Hagenbeck show how views on race were globally ordered through colonialism but also blurred in order to accommodate trade. Additional materials such as postcards, photographs and stagings of ethnographic exhibits further inform the unstable constructions of race in the through kinship networks and heredity. There are three key contributions this dissertation makes to race, sexuality and colonial studies. The first section shows how the German and Austro-Hungarian Empire did not require formal colonies, ii comparable to the British or French regimes, to own businesses in colonial Ceylon.

    PRIMAR FOUNDED 1962 A MAGAZINE FOR STUDENTS FROM YEAR 5 UPWARDS ATTENDING PRIMARY SCHOOLS ISSUE NUMBER 7 NOVEMBER 2013 Knut goes to the Zoo! Last weekend the sun (Sonne) was finally shining after a whole week of cloudy and rainy weather. My friend (Freund) and I were longing to go out and play in the park in our vicinity. So after breakfast, we happily left for the park. When we arrived it was already full of people jogging, relaxing on benches or reading on a mat on the grass. Everyone seemed to be enjoying the nice weather. After playing hide and seek, my friend Mark suggested we go to the zoo (Tierpark) in Berlin. Since we are both still under 15, we only paid €6.50 for the entrance. Following the signs we started visiting the different animals (Tiere). First we stopped to watch a group of monkeys (Affe). There were two new-born monkeys that were being fed by their mother. So many people took photos of them and we did too. Afterwards we walked a bit more, the signs led us to an underground aquarium (Aquarium). This area was huge and we saw many different types of colourful fish (Fisch) and even a dolphin (Delphin). As soon as we went out of this underground aquarium we found ourselves facing a big pond with graceful swans (Schwan). There were a few benches next to the pond, so we sat down and took a short break before we continued our visit around the zoo. At our next stop I felt quite scared when we walked across a bridge and right beneath us we saw two crocodiles (Krokodil).

Abstract: Transcriptome analysis of polar bear (Ursus maritimus) tissues identified sequences with similarity to Porcine Endogenous Retroviruses (PERV). Based on these sequences, four proviral copies and 15 solo long terminal repeats (LTRs) of a newly described endogenous retrovirus were characterized from the polar bear draft genome sequence. Closely related sequences were identified by PCR analysis of brown bear (Ursus arctos) and black bear (Ursus americanus) but were absent in non-Ursinae bear species. The virus was therefore designated UrsusERV. Two distinct groups of LTRs were observed including a recombinant ERV that contained one LTR belonging to each group indicating that genomic invasions by at least two UrsusERV variants have recently occurred.
