  • Bootsie Cartoon by Oliver W
    Bootsie Cartoon By Oliver W. Harrington, Northwest Defender, 10-15-1964 This particular “Bootsie” cartoon appeared in the Northwest Defender, a Portland-based African American weekly, in October of 1964, a year after a church bombing in Birmingham, Alabama, had killed four young African American girls. Ollie Harrington was living in Soviet-controlled East Berlin when he created and published this cartoon. As the caption makes clear, race-based violence in the United States provided communist countries with an easy target for their anti-American propaganda. Foreign policy experts and advisors of the U.S. government were well aware of the international consequences of domestic race-based violence, intimidation, and discrimination. In World War II, the U.S. Department of War Information was particularly concerned about “the degree to which Nazi propaganda, and even more Japanese propaganda, was having its effect on the attitude of the Negroes toward the war.” The U.S. State Department had also learned, by the mid-1960s, that the nation’s political interests in Latin America and Southeast Asia were threatened by violence, discrimination, and xenophobia expressed by American whites toward the nation’s non-white minorities. During the Cold War, the Soviets used racial discontent in the U.S. to discredit American efforts to “democratize” the world. The high stakes of the Cold War induced foreign policy experts such as Secretary of State John Foster Dulles to openly denounce racial discrimination as “morally wrong” and “stupid,” warning that “[i]f we choose to be exclusive on racial or religious lines, we will find ourselves to be a perilously small minority in a hostile world.” The international consequences of institutional racism in the United States became an important motivation behind governmental efforts to reform racist laws and business practices domestically.

Pendas This dissertation examines the relationship between Black America and East Germany from 1949 to 1989, exploring the ways in which two unlikely partners used international solidarity to achieve goals of domestic importance. Despite the growing number of works addressing the black experience in and with Imperial Germany, Nazi Germany, West Germany, and contemporary Germany, few studies have devoted attention to the black experience in and with East Germany. In this work, the outline of this transatlantic relationship is defined, detailing who was involved in the friendship, why they were involved, and what they hoped to gain from this alliance.

  • Post-Imperialism, Postcolonialism and Beyond: Towards a Periodisation of Cultural Discourse About Colonial Legacies
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repository@Nottingham 1 Post-imperialism, Postcolonialism and Beyond: Towards a Periodisation of Cultural Discourse about Colonial Legacies Dirk Göttsche (Nottingham) Abstract Taking German history and culture as a starting point, this essay suggests a historical approach to reconceptualising different forms of literary engagement with colonial discourse, colonial legacies and (post-) colonial memory in the context of Comparative Postcolonial Studies. The deliberate blending of a historical, a conceptual and a political understanding of the ‘postcolonial’ in postcolonial scholarship raises problems of periodisation and historical terminology when, for example, anti-colonial discourse from the colonial period or colonialist discourse in Weimar Germany are labelled ‘postcolonial’. The colonial revisionism of Germany’s interwar period is more usefully classed as post-imperial, as are particular strands of retrospective engagement with colonial history and legacy in British, French and other European literatures and cultures after 1945. At the same time, some recent developments in Francophone, Anglophone and German literature, e.g. Afropolitan writing, move beyond defining features of postcolonial discourse and raise the question of the post- postcolonial. Keywords Colonialism, Imperialism, Postcolonialism, Comparative postcolonial studies, Memory, Afropolitanism. Fifteen years after Stuart Hall’s seminal essay ‘When was “the post-colonial”?’ (Hall, 1996) it is time to ask his question again, albeit from a historical and literary-historical perspective. The rise of postcolonial theory and research has been characterised by the deliberate blending of a historical, a political and a conceptual understanding of the postcolonial, understood as a socio-cultural condition as well as a critical and cultural discourse.

    FROM GHETTO TO GOETHE: GERMAN RAPPERS OF COLOR CLAIMING THEIR SPACE IN THE NATION By Krsna Santos A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of German Studies — Master of Arts 2016 ABSTRACT FROM GHETTO TO GOETHE: GERMAN RAPPERS OF COLOR CLAIMING THEIR SPACE IN THE NATION By Krsna Santos This thesis examines how contemporary German rappers of color offer decolonial critiques of definitions of nation, the cultural canon and German identity. Finding the traditional definitions insufficient for their multiracial, multiethnic and multinational identities, they propose more inclusive definitions of nation, canon and Germanness. Despite being marginalized, these rappers claim aspects of a Germany that resists them, and carve out a place in the national narrative. This movement from marginalization to speaking for the nation is the unique turn the subaltern in German hip-hop makes. The study analyzes songs, music videos and interviews with Samy Deluxe, Eko Fresh and Blumio to show how they use three distinct strategies — contesting constructions of canon and national identity through verse, practicing decolonial and sarcastic love and mapping hyperlocality — to accomplish the aims of critiquing and offering new definitions. With these strategies the rappers demonstrate that hip-hop not only is a poetic force that gives voice to Germans of color, but also has a place as an art form in canonical German culture. Hip-hop in Germany does the singular work of giving voice to Germans of color and elevates these voices to places of cultural authority. Copyright by KRSNA SANTOS 2016 This thesis is dedicated to my mother Maria Lena, my colleagues in the German department at MSU and my friends Max and Liz, for supporting me and nurturing me with their empathy and love.

  • Aesthetics of the Anthropocene: an Analysis of Ger- Man Rap’S Critique on the Surveillance System of Time
    AESTHETICS OF THE ANTHROPOCENE: AN ANALYSIS OF GER- MAN RAP’S CRITIQUE ON THE SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM OF TIME. Dissertation submitted to Universidade Católica Portuguesa to obtain a Master’s Degree in Culture Studies (Specialization: Performance and Creativity) By Lukas Maximilian Friedrich Faculty of Human Sciences September 2019 AESTHETICS OF THE ANTHROPOCENE: AN ANALYSIS OF GERMAN RAP’S CRITIQUE ON THE SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM OF TIME. Dissertation submitted to Universidade Católica Portuguesa to obtain a Master’s Degree in Culture Studies (Specialization: Performance and Creativity) By Lukas Maximilian Friedrich Faculty of Human Sciences Under the supervision of Professor Joana Moura and Professor Peter Hanenberg September 2019 ABSTRACT Post-modernity is thought of as an era of contradictions. Mass media, the Web 3.0, and cor- porate governance cause an increasing level of insecurity regarding the validity of infor- mation. Furthermore, liberty is renamed into freedom to legitimize polluting and exploitive actions which appear altogether grounded on managerial interests. In Marcusian thought, this dissertation contributes to the function of the arts as means of knowledge production, while focusing on German rap as one of the most consumed forms of post-modern popular culture. The work at hand argues that to keep society under control, the metaphysical element of time has been gradually turned into a tool of surveillance. Drawing on Kutschera’s con- cept of aesthetics, a critical, textual analysis of eight contemporary German rap lyrics is conducted. The two-sided argumentation firstly focuses on a vertical time axis of post-in- dustrial society, in which time has become the object of a trade-off calculation between physical and digital control and one’s individual material wealth.

    LOST LOOSE AND LOVED FOREIGN ARTISTS IN PARIS 1944-1968 The exhibition Lost, Loose, and Loved: Foreign Artists in Paris, 1944–1968 concludes the year 2018 at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía with a broad investigation of the varied Parisian art scene in the decades after World War II. The exhibition focuses on the complex situation in France, which was striving to recuperate its cultural hegemony and recompose its national identity and influence in the newly emerging postwar geopolitical order of competing blocs. It also places a particular focus on the work of foreign artists who were drawn to the city and contributed to creating a stimulating, productive climate in which intense discussion and multiple proposals prevailed. Cultural production in a diverse, continuously transforming postwar Paris has often been crowded out by the New York art world, owing both to a skillful exercise of American propaganda that had spellbound much of the criticism, market, and institutions, as well as later to the work of canonical art history with its celebration of great names and specific moments. Dismissed as secondary, minor, or derivative, art practices in those years, such as those of the German artist Wols, the Dutch artist Bram van Velde, or the Portuguese artist Maria Helena Vieira da Silva, to name just a few, lacked the single cohesive image that the New York School offered with Abstract Impressionism and its standard bearer, Jackson Pollock. In contrast, in Paris there existed a multitude of artistic languages and positions coexisting

Unter »Rechtsrock« werden dabei allgemein solche Spielarten der populären Musik verstanden, deren Songtexte rechtsextreme Inhalte transportieren. Das Grundproblem bei der Eingrenzung des Gegen- standsbereiches »rechtsextremer Inhalte« besteht darin, dass (Rechts-)- Extremismus ein sozialwissenschaftlich unscharfer, da ursprünglich ver- waltungstechnisch bestimmter Begriff ist: Rechtsextremismus bezeichnet verfassungsfeindliche Einstellungen und Bestrebungen, die gegen die frei- heitlich demokratische Grundordnung sowie gegen den Bestand und die Sicherheit der Bundesrepublik Deutschland gerichtet sind. Als inhaltliche Merkmale von Rechtsextremismus gelten dabei Nationalismus, Rassismus, ein autoritäres Staatsverständnis sowie die Ideologie der Volksgemeinschaft (Stöß 2007: 17).
