  • Widerstandsgruppe Schulze-Boysen/Harnack
    Widerstandsgruppe Schulze-Boysen/Harnack Bearbeitet von Klaus Lehmann Herausgegeben von der zentralen Forschungsstelle der Vereinigung der Verfolgten des Naziregimes VVN Berliner Verlag GmbH, Berlin 1948, 88 Seiten Faksimileausgabe der Seiten 3 bis 27 und 86 bis 88 Die Schulze-Boysen/Harnack-Gruppe wurde 1942 von der Gestapo un- ter dem Begriff Rote Kapelle entdeckt und ausgeschaltet. Diese erste ausführliche Veröffentlichung erschien in der damaligen Sowjetischen Besatzungszone und wurde von der VVN, einer von der Sozialistischen Einheitspartei Deutschlands (SED) gelenkten Organisation, herausge- geben. Während die Widerstandsarbeit der Schulze-Boysen/Harnack-Gruppe mit Flugblättern, Zeitschriften, Klebeaktionen, Hilfe für politisch verfolg- te bis hin zur Beschaffung von Waffen beschrieben wird, wird ihre Spi- onagetätigkeit für die Sowjetunion bewusst verschwiegen. Die Spionagesender, die vom sowjetischen Nachrichtendienst zur Ver- fügung gestellt worden waren, werden hier stattdessen in Geräte um- gedeutet, die "mit ihren Sendungen das deutsche Volk" aufklären soll- ten (S.15). Dies zeigt, dass man sich zur Spionage für Stalin nicht be- kennen wollte, weil diese mit den damals gängigen moralischen Maß- stäben nicht in Einklang zu bringen war. Dies wandelte sich erst Ende der 1960-er Jahre, als die Sowjetunion einigen Mitgliedern der Roten Kapelle postum Militärorden verlieh und die DDR sie fortan als "Kundschafter" und Paradebeispiel für kommu- nistischen geführten Widerstand feierte.

    Vorträge im Dezember 2002 Einladung Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, im Herbst 1942, vor sechzig Jahren, deckte die Geheime Staatspolizei die Berliner Widerstandsgruppe um Arvid Harnack und Harro Schulze- Boysen auf. Aus diesem Anlass laden wir Sie zu einer Reihe von Veranstaltungen ein. Film und Diskussion Verlorenes Leben. Hans Coppi und der letzte Agent der "Roten Kapelle" Ein Film von Inga Wolfram, Helge Trimpert und Hans Coppi Deutschland 1996, 60 Minuten Donnerstag, 12. Dezember 2002, 19 Uhr Gedenkstätte Deutscher Widerstand, Stauffenbergstraße 13 - 14, 10785 Berlin-Mitte, Zweite Etage, Saal A Die Rote Kapelle verbindet die Schicksale der drei Menschen, die im Mittelpunkt dieser Dokumentation stehen. Hans Coppi, der Sohn von Hans und Hilde Coppi, 1942 in Gestapohaft kurz vor der Hinrichtung seiner Eltern geboren, findet nach langer Suche Anfang der neunziger Jahre Anotoli Gurewitsch alias "Kent" in Sankt Petersburg. Der Brüsseler Beauftragte des sowjetischen militärischen Nachrichtendienstes hatte das verhängnisvolle Telegramm aus Moskau erhalten, das zur Enttarnung und Verhaftung der Widerstandsgruppe in Berlin führte. Er fand sich in der Haft zur Zusammenarbeit mit der Gestapo bereit und verschwand deshalb nach dem Kriegsende unter dem Vorwurf des Landesverrats für lange Jahre in sowjetischen Lagern. Er hat einen Sohn, Michel, der wie Hans Coppi im Krieg geboren ist und der seinen Vater jahrzehntelang für tot gehalten hat. Der Film dokumentiert die Begegnung dieser Männer, die Suche nach der historischen Wahrheit und das Fragen nach Schicksal und Schuld. Er zeigt den - letztlich vergeblichen - Versuch, verlorenes Leben zu rekonstruieren und verlorene Zeit wieder aufzuholen. Im Anschluss an den Film stehen Inga Wolfram und Hans Coppi zur Diskussion zur Verfügung.

  • Diversity Report 2010 1 Diversity Report 2010 Literary Translation in Current European Book Markets
    Diversity Report 2010 1 Diversity Report 2010 Literary Translation in Current European Book Markets. An analysis of authors, languages, and flows. Written by Miha Kovač and Rüdiger Wischenbart, with Jennifer Jursitzky and Sabine Kaldonek, and additional research by Julia Coufal. www.wischenbart.com/DiversityReport2010 Contact: [email protected] 2 Executive Summary The Diversity Report 2010, building on previous research presented in the respective reports of 2008 and 2009, surveys and analyzes 187 mostly European authors of contemporary fiction concerning translations of their works in 14 European languages and book markets. The goal of this study is to develop a more structured, data-based understanding of the patterns and driving forces of the translation markets across Europe. The key questions include the following: What characterizes the writers who succeed particularly well at being picked up by scouts, agents, and publishers for translation? Are patterns recognizable in the writers’ working biographies or their cultural background, the language in which a work is initially written, or the target languages most open for new voices? What forces shape a well-established literary career internationally? What channels and platforms are most helpful, or critical, for starting a path in translation? How do translations spread? The Diversity Report 2010 argues that translated books reflect a broad diversity of authors and styles, languages and career paths. We have confirmed, as a trend with great momentum, that the few authors and books at the very top, in terms of sales and recognition, expand their share of the overall reading markets with remarkable vigor. Not only are the real global stars to be counted on not very many fingers.

  • The Novel in German Since 1990 Edited by Stuart Taberner Excerpt More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-19237-8 - The Novel in German Since 1990 Edited by Stuart Taberner Excerpt More information Introduction: The novel in German since 1990 Stuart Taberner the problem with the german novel In his The German Novel, published in 1956 and for a long time a standard reference work in the English-speaking world, Roy Pascal averred that even the very best of German fiction was marred by a ‘sad lack of the energy and bite of passion’. It was impossible to deny, the British critic claimed, that there was ‘something provincial, philistine’ at its core. Indeed, he concluded, German writing was strangely lacking – ‘Altogether the char- acters in the German novels seem less alive, less avid of life, less capable of overflowing exuberances, than those of the great European novels.’1 Pascal’s oddly damning assessment of his object of study might today be merely of historical interest as an example of the supposition of a German Sonderweg (special path) apart from other European nations, widely promulgated in the countries that had defeated Nazism only a few years earlier, if it were not for the fact that similar indictments feature throughout the 1990s in a series of debates on the German novel’s post- war development. These more recent criticisms, however, were voiced not by critics outside Germany seeking to identify its ‘peculiarity’ but in the Federal Republic itself. While scholarly attention has focused, then, on Ulrich Greiner’s attack on Christa Wolf’s alleged cowardly opportunism in waiting until the collapse
